    Cal Poly wraps up regular season with win over Boise State

    SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- A pin by Colton Schilling and a technical fall by Mitch Woods sparked the Cal Poly wrestling team to s 23-15 victory over Boise State in a Pac-12 Conference dual wrestling meet Sunday afternoon outdoors in the University Union plaza.

    Schilling earned his 10th win of the year and sixth by fall, pinning Jake Velarde in 1 minute, 43 seconds, in the 141-pound bout to clinch the dual meet for Cal Poly, 3-9 overall and 1-4 in Pac-12 matches.

    Woods helped Cal Poly overcome an early 6-0 deficit, earning the second of four consecutive wins by the Mustangs with a 16-1 technical fall over Zach Coffman at 184 pounds. Woods scored three takedowns and 10 near-fall points for the win in 4 minutes, 11 seconds.

    Boise State, which lost to Stanford and CSU Bakersfield earlier in the week, went 0-3 on its California trip and fell to 3-8 and 1-3.

    Down 6-0, Cal Poly began its four-bout win streak with a 5-4 decision by 174-pounder Travis Berridge over Austin Dewey, scoring an escape in the third period to snap a 4-4 tie. Berridge has won all four of his dual meet matches this season and is 8-4 on the year.

    After Woods' technical fall, his 10th win of the year as well, J.T. Goodwin earned an 8-3 decision over Kadyn Del Toro at 197 pounds, lifting his mark to 17-9. Goodwin scored a takedown in the first period, an escape in the second period and a pair of takedowns plus riding time in the final period.

    Spencer Empey (7-10) capped the four-match run with a 7-0 decision over Gabriel Gonzalez at 285 pounds. After a scoreless first period, Empey tallied a takedown in the second period and a two-point near fall, two penalty points and riding time in the last period.

    Jason DelaCruz built a 4-0 lead with takedowns in each of the first two periods en route to a 4-2 victory over Carson Kuhn at 133 pounds, setting the stage for Schilling's dual meet-clinching fall at 141.

    First three bouts of the day were 5-4 decisions.

    Mustang 157-pounder Colt Shorts led 4-3 after two periods, but Chris Castillo earned an escape in the third period to force overtime and was awarded a penalty point when Shorts was ruled to have backed off the mat with five seconds left in the sudden victory period.

    Cal Poly 165-pounder Blake Kastl let a 4-1 second-period lead slip away as Taylor West tallied two escapes and a late takedown.

    Boise State 149-pounder Geordan Martinez, ranked 15th in the nation, improved his record to 25-5 with a first-period fall in the final bout of the dual meet.

    Cal Poly will compete in the 2016 Pac-12 Championship on Feb. 27 at Arizona State.
