UCO used all eight seniors and won nine straight matches after losing the opener at 125 pounds in rolling to its 21st consecutive home victory. The Bronchos improved to 13-4 on the season and 5-1 in the league.
It was the eighth win in a row for UCO, which goes to Arkadelphia, Ark. Saturday afternoon to take on No. 20 Ouachita Baptist in the final dual of the season.
“We found a way to use all eight seniors and I was happy to see that for what those guys have meant to our program,” head coach David James said. “I thought we did a good job for the most part and I like the way our guys are working.”
