    Michigan State defeats Indiana

    EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State Wrestling kicked off Big Ten conference action on Friday, December 7, pulling away with a 16-5 victory over Indiana.

    MSU improves to 2-0 on the young dual season and is 1-0 in the Big Ten. Indiana dropped to 2-2 overall with a loss on Friday.

    This is the first time the Spartans have opened the Big Ten slate with a victory since the 2004-05 season in which they upset a No. 15-ranked Penn State, 19-12. Against the Nittany Lions, MSU got wins from Max Lossen, Nick Simmons, Andy Simmons, Darren McKnight, Bryan Harney and R.J. Boudro.

    No. 8-ranked Rayvon Foley started things off on the right foot for Michigan State earning a 12-5 victory over Liam Cronin to improve to 10-0 on the season. The Hoosiers responded by winning two consecutive decisions at 133 and 141 pounds to take a 6-3 lead over MSU.

    Redshirt freshman Jaden Enriquez improved to 2-0 in duals at 149 pounds with a 5-3 win over IU's Breydon Bailey. Indiana responded by taking decisions at 157 and 165 pounds to maintain a 12-6 advantage over the Spartans at the intermission.

    Redshirt sophomore Drew Hughes scored crucial bonus points for Michigan State at 174, scoring an 11-0 major decision over Jake Hinz to pull the score to 12-10 in favor of Indiana.

    At 184 pounds, redshirt freshman Cameron Caffey gave MSU the lead for good with a 9-5 decision to defeat Norman Conley. Caffey is now 10-0 on the season and 2-0 in duals. This past week, Conley was ranked No. 20 at 184 pounds by FloWrestling.

    Brad Wilton expanded the Spartans lead to 16-12 earning his first career dual victory in a match against Jake Kleimola. Indiana took the heavyweight division by a decison, but the points weren't enough to force a criteria decision for the dual.
