    Minnesota State-Mankato handles Upper Iowa

    Mankato, Minn. -- The #3 ranked Minnesota State wrestling squad downed the ninth-ranked Upper Iowa Peacocks 29-12, in their first home meet of the year. The Mavericks earned their eighth win of the season upping their dual record to 8-3 on the season, including a 4-0 Northern Sun record.

    Sophomore and second ranked 149-pounder Tommy Abbott (Wilmington, Del.) gave the Mavericks their first victory of the night with a major decision victory over Derek Stolarzyk. Junior Travis Elg (Mountain Lake, Minn.) continued the winning, earning his own major decision win in the 157-pound match.

    The next grapplers to earn victories were senior Tim Matheson (Circle Pines, Minn.) and freshman Aaron Norgren (Good Thunder, Minn.); both picking up wins by decision in the 165-pound and 184-pound matches.

    In the upper weight classes, 197-pound Sophomore Pat Mahan (Owatonna, Minn.) and 285-pound, third-ranked junior Brady Wilson (Faribault, Minn.) both finished off their matches with wins by pin fall. With Brady Wilson's win this evening, his career record now sits at 98-19. Sophomore Andy Forstner (Madelia, Minn.) picked up the Mavericks final win of the evening in the 125-pound match.

    The Mavericks will be wrestling at home this Friday, 7:00 p.m. at the Taylor Center.
