    Augustana shuts out Sioux Falls

    Highlighted by 6 major decisions and 1 pin, the Augustana wrestling team dominated the University of Sioux Falls 45-0 in front of 942 fans Wednesday night at the Elmen Center.

    Augustana, ranked 10th in the NCAA Division II Top 20 Poll, controlled all 8 matches that were contested. The Vikings (3-0) did not allow a takedown and surrendered just 1 reversal the entire night.

    Cody Henriksen earned the only pin of the dual. Henriksen, ranked fifth in the country, pinned Derrick Pomranky in 3:38 to improve to 8-4 on the season.

    The featured match of the night came at 165 pounds where Augie's Austin Scarset moved up a weight class to take on USF's Brett Jarman. Scarset, who is ranked No. 3 in the nation at 157 pounds, used 8 takedowns and 2 escapes to go along with a riding time point to earn a 19-9 major decision. Jarman did manage to score a reversal early in the match for USF's only offensive points of the dual.

    Also picking up major decisions for the Vikings were Chris Trampe at 125 pounds, Jordan Burmeister at 141 pounds, Aaron Haddorff at 157 pounds, Nate Buys at 197 pounds and Ray O'Connor at Heavyweight.

    Beau Severtson recorded Augustana's other contested victory by defeating Brock Nelson 9-4 in the 184-pound match.

    Augie's Adam Schlee (133 pounds) and Brandon Kruger (149 pounds) each won by forfeit.

    The Vikings are now off until January 3 when they entertain Augsburg in a 7 p.m. dual at the Elmen Center. Augsburg is currently ranked No. 1 in the nation in the Division III poll.
