    Gardner wins third tournament title this season

    Las Vegas, Nev. -- After two straight fourth place finishes at the event, Tanner Gardner made his final trip to the Las Vegas Invitational count. The senior won all five of his matches to improve to 17-0 on the year, and topped Missouri's Tony Pescaglia in the championship bout to claim his third tournament title of the year.

    Gardner, who three matches to advance to the semifinals yesterday, began the day with an 11-0 major decision over No. 16 Rollie Peterkin of Penn to advance to the championship bout. The two-time All-American then bested Pescaglia, 9-7, to win his third tournament title in as many tries. Facing a field that included ten of the nation's top 25 125-pounders, Gardner came out on top, improving his record to an unblemished 17-0.

    At 157 pounds, senior Josh Zupancic dropped a decision to No. 12 Mike Chandler of Missouri this morning, falling just one match short of placing.

    Stanford's next competition is set for Dec. 19, when the team will head back to Nevada for the annual Reno Tournament of Champions.
