    ASU defeats Utah Valley in Coach Jones' home debut

    TEMPE, Ariz. -- In Arizona State head coach Zeke Jones’ home debut, the Sun Devils overcame a slow start and defeated Utah Valley, 22-15, in front of a crowd of 1007 on Friday night.

    With the win, ASU improves to 3-1 on the year in dual matches while the Wolverines fall to 0-3.

    “Like we do with the team, we start out with the result which a win is good,” Jones said. “Then we talk about the process of how we got to that victory and I’d say it is probably mixed. There were some good things and certainly some areas for improvement. Overall a good effort and a great battle back from a tough start.”

    The Wolverines came out with wins in the first three weight classes, 133, 141, and 141, to go up, 12-0, before redshirt senior Joel Smith (7-2, 3-1 duals) picked up a 17-7 major decision win at 157 pounds.

    Prior to intermission, freshman Jacen Petersen (4-2, 2-0 duals) picked up an 8-4 decision to cut Utah Valley’s lead to 12-7.

    ASU won the next four matches after the break, starting with junior Ray Waters’ (6-2, 3-1 duals) 3-2 decision victory, and following at 184 with redshirt junior Blake Stauffer’s (8-1, 3-1 duals) 1:13 pin over Abel Gomez, which gave the Sun Devils a 16-12 lead.

    The final Sun Devil wins on the night came in the top two weight classes, Josh DaSilveira (5-4, 2-1 duals) at 197 and Chace Eskam (6-4, 1-3 duals) at heavyweight, both taking the decision at 3-1.

    Up next, ASU opens the Pac-12 schedule on the road, taking on Oregon State in Corvallis, Ore. on Monday, Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. PT/8 p.m. MT. The match will be aired on the Pac-12 Networks.
