    Minnesota's Kish and Schlatter claim titles at Kaufman-Brand Open

    OMAHA -- Sophomore Roger Kish and true freshman Dustin Schlatter claimed titles at the Kaufman- Brand Open in Omaha, Neb., on Saturday night. Kish won the 184-pound title in the open division, while Schlatter earned the 149-pound crown in the 20-and-under division. The Kaufman-Brand Open is the largest single-day collegiate wrestling event in the nation.

    Kish remained perfect on the season with four straight wins, including a 5-3 decision against Wisconsin-Lacrosse's Jason Lullof in the finals. Kish posted his second major decision of the tournament by an 11-1 score against John Koonns of Minnesota State- Mankato in the semifinals.

    Five other Golden Gophers placed in the open division. Junior Andrew Domingues is attempting to replace two-time All-American Bobbe Lowe at 125 pounds. He claimed second in the tournament after being narrowly defeated by fifth-ranked Coleman Scott of Oklahoma State in the finals, 4-2.

    Sophomores C.P. Schlatter (157) and Gabriel Dretsch (174) placed fourth, while sophomore Manuel Rivera (141) and redshirt freshman Travis Lang (125) placed fifth.

    In the 20-and-under division, Dustin Schlatter cruised to the finals with three pins, a technical fall and a major decision. He claimed the title with a 14-7 decision against Northern Iowa's Joseph Cornejo. The top recruit in the nation, Schlatter is expected to be in the starting lineup next week when Minnesota begins its dual meet season at the Northeast Duals.

    Minnesota also had two more true freshmen place in the 20-and-under division. Bloomington native Jayson Ness earned second place at 125 pounds after a slim 3-2 loss against Oklahoma State's Tyler Shinn in the finals. Glencoe native Nate Matousek placed fifth at 165 pounds.

    The Golden Gophers return to the road next week when they travel to New York for the Northeast Duals.
