Luther got on the board in the opening match, picking up a decision win at 125-pounds. A huge swing of momentum occurred next for Eau Claire, as Casey Hedrington (Fr.-Chippewa Falls, WI/Chi-Hi) battled off his back to eventually regain top control, turn his opponent multiple times, and ultimately get the crucial pinfall at 133-pounds.
Stepping in at 141-pounds, Tyler Demo (Fr.-Loves Park, IL/Belvidere North) earned another key win for the Blugolds. The freshman was victorious, 7-2. After a decision win for the Norse at 149-pounds, Hunter DeLeon (So.-Anoka, MN) sent the Blugolds into the break with a 12-6 lead, following his 9-3 win at 157-pounds.
Though Luther responded out of the intermission with a major decision, Eau Claire turned it up and poured it on in the next three matches.
Tyler Vogt (Sr.-Owatonna, MN) trailed early in his 174-pound bout, but he fought back to take an 8-5 win. Just as he did in last year's match with the Norse, Cecil Philson (Sr.-Thorp, WI) came up big. This time around, he got a clutch pinfall to add bonus points and separation to the score. At 197-pounds, Ramsey Bloy (Jr.-Freedom, WI) sealed the victory with a pin of his own, needing less than two minutes to get the fall.
Luther added a major decision win at heavyweight, but the final score favored Eau Claire, 27-14.
With Thanksgiving Break ahead, the Blugold wrestlers' next action comes on December 2, when they compete in the MSOE Invitational in Milwaukee.
