    No. 8 Augustana rolls past Dakota Wesleyan, 40-6

    Eighth-ranked Augustana won 6 of the 7 matches contested against Dakota Wesleyan as the Vikings rolled to a 40-6 victory over the Tigers Wednesday night at the Elmen Center.

    The Vikings, who wrestled only 2 of their normal starters, controlled the action almost the entire night. Chris Trampe, the Vikings� starter at 125 pounds, got Augustana off to a good start with a 17-4 major decision over Andrew Leggott. Following a 6-2 decision by Jeremie Degen at 133 pounds, Andre VanderVelde, the other Viking starter, recorded a 16-6 major decision over DWU�s Spencer Novotny to give Augie an 11-0 lead.

    Aaron Haddorf kept things rolling at 149 pounds with a 4-1 victory over Thomas Konechne. At 157 pounds, Brandon Kruger then scored 10 points in the second and third periods to claim a 12-3 major decision over Paul Wilson.

    Dakota Wesleyan was the open at 165 pounds, 174 pounds and 184 pounds, giving the Vikings a 36-0 advantage. Beau Severtson then picked up Augie�s last win of the night by scoring a 13-5 major decision over Andrew Schmaltz.

    DWU�s lone victory came in the final match of the dual. Wildmike Pata registered a takedown against Augie�s Ray O�Conner midway through the first period and then managed to pin O�Conner in 2:13.

    Augustana�s next action will be this weekend when the Vikings travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa to participate in the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals on Saturday and Sunday.
