    Northern Colorado splits at Fighting Camel Duals

    BUIES CREEK, N.C. -- In the first duals of the 2011-12 season, the Northern Colorado wrestling team split matches at the Fighting Camel Duals. The Bears lost 26-11 to Drexel in the afternoon bout, then bounced back for a 20-19 win over host Campbell.

    Sophomore Cody McAninch started the Bears off on the right foot in both matches. Against Drexel, he won an 8-3 decision over Niccolo Becattini and then had a major decision win over TeShaun Johnson to begin the Campbell dual.

    Seniors Casey Cruz and Gabe Burak also won both bouts. Cruz won a 6-3 decision over Drexel's Frank Cimato, who is ranked #20 this week by Intermat and won a 6-5 decision against Jordan Tolbert.

    Burak, ranked 11th by Intermat, had a pair of bonus point wins for the Bears. He posted a tech fall over Anson Worrell in 5:16 (23-11) and then a major decision win against Nick Rex, 11-0.

    Those three were the only victors against the Dragons, but freshman Jesse Meis pinned Grabiel Soto in 1:23 at 125 pounds and sophomore Sam Bauer won a 6-0 decision over Tanner Bidelspach at 133 pounds for the nightcap team win.

    The Bears take a break for the holiday season, returning to the mat on Jan. 6 at Northern Iowa in the Western Wrestling Conference opener.
