    Cal Poly rallies to defeat Boise State

    BOISE, Idaho -- The Cal Poly wrestling team won the final four bouts to rally from a 15-6 deficit and beat Boise State 22-15 in a Pac-12 dual meet Thursday night.

    Jason DelaCruz, Blake Kastl, Dominic Kastl and Nicolas Johnson all won by decision, Nick Fiegener earned a major decision and J.T. Goodwin (pictured at right) pinned his 197-pound Bronco foe in 2 minutes, 59 seconds, to lift Cal Poly to its second dual meet win of the season.

    "Our guys won the close matches this time," said Mustang assistant coach Scotti Sentes.

    The dual meet opened with Boise State posting three decisions and a fall in the first six bouts en route to its 15-6 advantage.

    DelaCruz won his match at 133 pounds by a 9-7 decision, scoring a takedown and two-point near-fall to overcome a 7-5 deficit.

    Blake Kastl gave Cal Poly its other three early points with a 7-4 decision at 149 pounds. Wrestling for the first time since early November, Kastl led 4-3 midway through the final period before securing a takedown and riding time.

    Cal Poly's comeback from the 15-6 deficit began with Dominic Kastl scoring a 5-3 decision over Austin Dewey at 174 pounds. He trailed 1-0 after two periods before recording an escape and two takedowns in the final period to seal the verdict.

    Fiegener earned a 16-4 major decision at 184 pounds with five takedowns, a three-point near-fall, an escape, one penalty point and riding time. Fiegener is 21-11 on the year.

    Goodwin notched his second fall of the season, pinning Cody Dixon with one second remaining in the first period. Dixon scored a takedown and Goodwin notched a reversal prior to the pin.

    Johnson capped the comeback with a 4-2 decision at heavyweight, scoring an escape in the second period and a takedown plus riding time in the final period.

    Cal Poly (2-13) wrestles another Pac-12 dual meet Saturday at Oregon State (9-0).
