Three bonus-point victories in the final four bouts pushed the Central College men’s wrestling team to a 34-11 road win at William Penn University Tuesday night.
A pair of Statesmen victories narrowed Central’s (11-3) lead to 16-11 with four matches remaining, but the heaviest part of Central’s lineup rattled off four straight wins worth 18 points to put the match away. The run started with a 17-3 major decision win by 174-pounder Austin Roos. Sam West followed with an 18-3 technical fall just 4 minutes and 19 seconds into his match. Gage Linahon added a fall in 6:33 and Hayden Hearne closed with a 7-2 decision. Earlier in the night Colin Suyko started the match with a fall in 4:03, Cael Cox had a 19-6 major decision at 149 pounds, and Pierre Baldwin won by forfeit at 141 pounds.
Central hosts Luther College in an American Rivers Conference dual on Thursday at 6 p.m. in P.H. Kuyper Gymnasium.
