Eau Claire, Wis. – St. Cloud State (3-3) won nine of the 10 matches, including pins from Tad Merritt (Canby) and Jake Horn (Ephrata, Wash.), to cruise past Wisconsin-Eau Claire (5-9) 36-6 Saturday afternoon at the McPhee Center.
"It was good for us to bounce back the way we did," said assistant coach Matt Lowers. "We had some great individual efforts today, and we hope to carry that over to the upcoming conference season."
The Huskies jumped out to an early 9-0 lead with a 2-0 victory from Bobby Ross (St. Peter) at heavyweight and a forfeit victory at 125 lbs. to Pat LeVasseur (Buffalo Lake).
Andy Miller put the BluGolds within striking distance at 9-3, with a 2-0 victory over #8 Josh Williams (Banks, Ore.) at 133 lbs, but that is as close as they would get.
The Huskies rattled off the next three matches for 14 points and a 23-3 lead. Gabe Suarez (Las Vegas) started the run at 141 lbs. with an 18-2 tech fall victory, followed by a 4-0 Jake Roberts (Jordan) triumph at 149 lbs. Horn then capped off the spurt with his pin over Jon Ames at the 1:11 mark.
After Chad Kubasch (New Germany) fell at 165 lbs., the Huskies finished the dual with three victories at 174 lbs., 184 lbs., and 197 lbs. from Merritt, Brad Padgett (Buckley, Wash.) and Luke Munkelwitz (Forest Lake).
The Huskies open a stretch of NSIC duals next Friday at Halenbeck Hall against Northern State, while UW-Eau Claire will take on UW-LaCrosse on Tuesday. Match time for Prep Night on Friday is 7:00 p.m.
