After stumbling in the opener, the Central College wrestling team rattled off a pair victories at the Iowa Conference Duals Saturday at the University of Dubuque.

The Dutch are now 7-2 on the season and 4-2 in IIAC action after trampling the host Spartans 34-7 and bouncing Buena Vista 36-12, but falling to number one Wartburg College 37-6.

Centrals’ two highest-ranked wrestlers, number two Ryan Vandall and fourth-ranked C.J. Pestano, proved their mettle by going 3-0 on the day at 125 and 165 pounds, respectively.

Central competes in front of the home crowd once again, taking on William Penn University in a dual Thursday night inside P.H. Kuyper Gymnasium.
