St. Cloud, Minn. – No. 2 St. Cloud State Wrestling dominated No. 15 Upper Iowa 34-2 in their return to NSIC contests on Thursday evening, opening the match with four straight bonus-point wins and taking nine of 10 bouts.

SPOTLIGHT MATCH

No. 3 Garrett Vos squared off with No. 5 Kaden Anderlik in a highly-anticipated ranked bout at 133 that ended in a completely dominating win by Vos. The All-American opened with a quick takedown and a nearfall in the first, added a stalling point, two back points and a takedown in the second and wrapped up the third with another takedown, a stall and a four-point nearfall to seal the 17-1 tech fall with ride time.

QUOTABLES

St. Cloud State Wrestling head coach Steve Costanzo

"There's still a lot of time to prepare. We've got nearly a month to go before the National Tournament, and that's really what it's all about. We need to prepare for the Super Region, try to get our best performance ready – because if we don't, there's no National Tournament. We really have to get our guys firing on all cylinders, get our guys back, get them healthy, but other than that I felt tonight we performed really well. I was really excited and motivated by what I saw at 133 with Garrett Vos, that was probably the best I've seen him in the last two years. I don't think there's anybody in the country that can beat Garrett Vos if that Garrett Vos shows up to every match like that. That's how confident I was with what I saw out of him tonight."
