    Cal State Fullerton routs Stanford

    Fullerton, Calif. -- Tim Hawkins pinned Victor Haug 2:36 into the 184-pound bout to spark Cal State Fullerton to a 31-6 Pac-10 wrestling victory Friday afternoon over Stanford before a crowd of more than 1,000 on High School Wrestlers Day in Titan Gym.

    Fullerton improved to 2-0 on the season and 1-0 in Pac-10 competition while the Cardinal fell to 0-4 and 0-2.

    The Titans were ahead, 12-0, 3 minutes into the match. Stanford forfeited at the opening weight of 174 to Fullerton's Todd Noel and then sent 174-pounder Haug up a bracket to face Hawkins, a transfer from Mt. Sac JC.

    Fullerton went on to win the next six bouts for a 31-0 lead before Stanford averted a shutout when Lucas Espericueta scored a 6-2 decision at 157 over Steven DelaFuente of Fullerton. Nick Amuchastegui gave Stanford its other points at 165 when he tied his match with Devin Velasquez in the final second of regulation and then scored a takedown 30 seconds into overtime for a 9-7 victory.

    On an adjacent match, Cal Baptist used three consecutive pins at the lightest weights to score a simultaneous 30-19 victory over Embry-Riddle of Prescott, Arizona. The Lancers are a first-year program and they host Stanford Friday night in Riverside.

    Fullerton hosts hundreds of wrestlers all day Sunday in the Fullerton Open.
