    Lyon edges Ouachita Baptist

    BATESVILLE, Ark. -- The Lyon College men's wrestling team improved to 7-7 overall on the season after defeating Ouachita Baptist University (Ark.), 25-24 Wednesday night on Senior Night, inside Becknell Gymnasium. The Scots won a tiebreaker over the Tigers with a 3-2 advantage according to Section 21 b. in the NCAA Wrestling rulebook.

    Lyon senior wrestlers Dustin Miller, Jacob Hill, Connor Webber and Robb Rodriguez were each recognized prior to the match, for their contributions to the men's wrestling program.

    The Scots earned two quick wins, with Matthew Connelly picking up a forfeit and Rodriguez pinning OBU's Weston Cronan in the 133-pound weight class.

    The Tigers' Trey Waltz and Robert Otero would each pick up decision wins over the Scots but trailed 12-7. Roger Gasmann then defeated Joseph Santos by a score of 6-4 to extend Lyon's lead, but the Tigers' Tyler Mann picked up a major decision win to keep the match close.

    Raul Gonzalez would pick up a forfeit victory for the Scots, while Jacob Hill defeated Ouachita Baptist's Austin Weldon by decision, 5-0. After a forfeit victory for OBU, the Tigers Tanner Hawkins defeated John Bentley by pin to tie the match up.

    However, due to the tiebreaker the Scots would come out on top with the victory.
