    Colorado Mesa handles Bethany

    GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- The 16th-ranked Colorado Mesa wrestling team won eight of the ten matches en route to a 36-9 win over the visiting Bethany College Swedes on Thursday night in Brownson Arena.

    The Swedes came into the dual ranked 13th in the NAIA National poll with seven of their ten wrestlers ranked in the top six in the NAIA Individual Rankings.

    The Mavericks got pins out of Jonathon Stelling (133,) Daniel Salazar (141,) and Trevor Donarski (157.) Donarski's pin came 24 seconds into the match and gave Colorado Mesa a 21-3 lead in the dual.

    James Martinez picked up a 4-1 win over Courtney Strauss at 149 pounds. The junior from Rifle had a 4-0 lead after the first period and held on for the final two periods only surrendering a riding time point in the win. Martinez improved to 8-1 on the season.

    Eighth ranked Chester Granard improved to 7-0 on the season after winning his bout over Matthew Atwood by technical fall, 16-1. Granard scored five points in first two periods before tallying six in the final period.

    Jordan Passehl picked up a 5-1 win over Zach Anderson in the 285 pound bout. Passehl, ranked eighth in the most recent NWCA National Rankings, pushed his record to a team-high 11-4 this season.

    The Mavericks improved their season dual record to 3-1 on the season and will return to the mat on January 2 when they battle Embry-Riddle in Prescott, Ariz.
