    NIACC wins big over Pratt

    Baldwin City, KS -- The NIACC Trojans traveled to Baldwin City, KS on Tuesday January 29th to take on the Pratt Community College Beavers in a neutral location. The dual meet was hosted by Baker University, a current NAIA college trying to start wrestling. This college dual meet between NIACC and Pratt served as a boost to show the popularity of college wrestling in the area.

    A huge turnout despite the weather, saw the No. 5 rated NIACC Trojans down Pratt Community College 38-3. NIACC only lost one match in the contest with Jordan Bartoszek falling to two-time Kansas State champion Tommy Edgemon 8-4. It would be all NIACC for the remainder of the evening. Cody Hogan scored 20 points en route to a technical fall over Pratt's Kyle Beebe. T.J. Moen, Albert White and Glenn Rhees would all win their matches by major decision.

    Aaron Hancock claimed a narrow 1-0 decision over Zach Hentzen, while brother Tyler Hancock would be down 5-0 early and come back to win by fall in the first period over Jake Thomas. Brad Theilen would receive a forfeit at 197 and heavyweight Beau Tudor was winning by a score of 3-1 when Matt Mock had to injury default.

    "We wrestled very well against Pratt. I was very proud of our preparation and execution during these matches," stated head wrestling coach Richard Fergola.

    The NIACC wrestling team will travel to Palatine, IL on Saturday February 2 for the Harper Duals where they will take on Harper, Triton and Lincoln Community Colleges starting at 9:00 am.
