    Coe edges Central on criteria

    CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- The third criteria was needed Thursday night at Eby Fieldhouse, as 11th-ranked Coe College beat 25th-ranked Central 19-18 in the dual meet opener for both squads.

    The Dutch came out of the gates firing, as they won the first three matches of the night. CJ Pestano beat Jan Rosenberg (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Knolls) 10-5 at 125 pounds, snapping Rosenberg's six-match winning streak. Aaron Anderson downed Mike Gussarson (Antioch, Iowa/Antioch) 5-3 at 133 pounds. The Dutch went up 12-0 on a fall by Jahleel Vester, as he beat Trey Schuler (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Washington) in 4:26 at 141 pounds.

    Coe turned things around at 149 pounds. Josh Donkle (Greeley, Colo./Windsor) edged Tanner Hocker 11-8 for Coe's first victory of the night. At 157 pounds, Caleb Wedeking (Greene, Iowa/North Butler) improved to 6-0 with a 5-4 win over Mike O'Conner. Wedeking earned a point for riding time for the victory. Defending National Champion Farai Sewera (Roselle, Ill./Lake Park) won his 10th-straight match at 165 pounds, as he beat Ryan Vandall 5-3.

    A dominating first period led second-ranked Ryan Harrington (Chester, N.J./West Morris Mendham) to a 13-6 win over Zach Moss at 174 pounds. Moss used a late takedown to take away the major decision opportunity from Harrington. At 184 pounds, Josh Allen (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Jefferson) dropped a 3-1 sudden victory to Austin Laabs. Coe's Andrew Holladay (Marion, Iowa/Linn-Mar) earned a win by forfeit at 197 pounds, giving Coe an 18-15 lead heading into the final match. Jay Pike used a late takedown to defeat Coe's Creighton Fox (DeWitt, Iowa/DeWitt) 3-1 at heavyweight.
    With the match tied, criteria was used to determine the winner. The two teams were even on matches won at 5-5. Second criteria was most falls, defaults, forfeits and disqualifications, which was even at 1-1. The third criteria was points scored from non fall and technical fall matches, which Coe held a 44-42 advantage.
