    Stanford defeats Cal Poly, Butler gets 100th win

    SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Fifth-year senior Nathan Butler became just the 10th wrestler in program history to register 100 career wins as Stanford defeated Cal Poly, 23-14, at Mott Gym.

    Stanford won six of the 10 bouts to improve to 5-4 overall and 2-1 in Pac-12 action. The Mustangs fell to 0-5, 0-1 in the conference.

    The dual began at 174 pounds where fifth-year senior Keaton Subjeck, who is ranked 10th nationally, posted a 26-10 technical fall over Killian Vendler. Subjeck notched 10 takedowns, a reversal and was awarded a stalling point and riding time in the win. Subjeck improves to 21-6 overall and 8-1 in duals.

    Cal Poly won the next two bouts to take a 6-5 edge in the dual. Butler regained the lead for the Cardinal with an 8-0 major decision over Spencer Empey at heavyweight. Butler, who is No. 5 in the nation, led 3-0 after two periods. He tallied four near fall points in the third and tacked on 2:36 of riding time. The Leavenworth, Kansas native is now 21-5 on the year and 7-1 in duals.

    Sophomore Gabriel Townsell added to the Cardinal's lead as he edged Yoshito Funakoshi, 2-1, at 125 pounds. After no score in the first, Townsell score the escape to start the second. He was awarded an additional point for unsportsmanlike conduct on Funakoshi, who kept poking Townsell in the eyes even after being warned. Funakoshi scored an escape to start the final frame, but was unable to convert on a late shot as Townsell held on for the win. Townsell moves to 16-10 overall and 7-2 in duals this season.

    True freshman Anthony Le picked up his first dual win of the year, outlasting Ty Schilling 4-2 in sudden victory at 133 pounds. Le scored a takedown in the first period, but gave up the escape point. There was no score in the second and Le chose down to start the third. Schilling rode Le for the entire period to tie the score with the riding time point. In the sudden victory period, Le scored the winning takedown with 25 seconds left on the clock.

    Cal Poly cut the dual score to 15-14 with a technical fall at 141 pounds and a decision at 149. Redshirt Junior Paul Fox gave the Cardinal a cushion with a 22-7 technical fall in 6:14 over Ryan Farina at 157 pounds. Fox dominated Farina, tallying 10 takedowns in the match. Fox is now 16-5 overall and 5-1 in duals.

    In the final bout of the night, redshirt freshman Brandon Dallavia shut out Jett Moy, 7-0, at 165 pounds. Dallavia scored a takedown and two near fall points in the opening period for a 4-0 advantage. He earned a reversal in the second tacked on 5:10 of riding time for the win. It marked the first dual win of the season for Dallavia, who is now 9-13 overall.
