SCSU moves to 7-1 on the season
St. Cloud, MN. – No. 13 St. Cloud State Wrestling (7-1, 4-0 NSIC) opened up 2026 with a clean sheet at Halenbeck Hall as they defeated Sioux Falls 48-0 Friday evening. SCSU captured eight bonus point victories with four falls.
Starting at 165, Gabriel Smith put six points on the board as he defeated Luke Swanson by injury. No. 14 Bryce Dagel doubled the lead for SCSU as he came away with a fall in 1:39.
With a 12-0 lead, No. 4 Cole Glazier and Tyson Meyer strung together two tech fall victories at 184 and 197. Glazier won 17-2 in 3:28 while Meyer tacked on a 19-4 victory in 6:48.
Moving to 285, Jadon Mims battled into overtime against Stetson Davis with each wrestler tallying an escape point. Throughout the match, Mims created multiple underhook scoring chances where he pushed Davis out of bounds but was unable to capitalize. A scoreless overtime period would send the match into tiebreakers. Starting the tiebreaker on top after Davis's choice, Mims put together a stellar ride as he rode Davis for the entirety of the period. In a strong position with 30 seconds of riding time, Mims would choose neutral and shutout Davis's offense to win his bout and extend the lead to 25-0.
Going back up to 125, Ben Aranda took a 3-1 lead early in the first period against Vincent Mayberry. Following Mayberry's escape point, he would take down Aranda and then nearly pinned him but would only come away with two near fall points. Aranda stayed slippery to avoid the fall and then he turned the tables with a two-point reversal. Now in control on top, Aranda would work his way to a fall on a turk to add six points to the scoreboard for the Huskies.
At 133, Dominic Ducato would be taken down early in his match but bounced back by scoring 14 unanswered points to ultimately win 14-3. With a 35-0 lead at 141, Jayce Luna came away with a 6-0 shutout over Jordon Oehme. Luna had a strong ride in the second period after starting on top. He would score four near fall points off a tilt and came away with multiple mat returns to break down Oehme's base in what was an outstanding full period ride in the victory.
Closing out the match would be Draven Johns and No. 2 Joel Jesuroga at 149 and 157. Johns made his dual debut as a true freshman and did not disappoint with a fall in 1:16 to set the score at 44-0 Huskies. Jesuroga added the final four points for SCSU as a 10-2 major decision finalized the score at 48-0 in favor of St. Cloud State.
