Huskies stay unbeaten in NSIC
St. Cloud, MN. – No. 13 St. Cloud State Wrestling (14-2, 7-0 NSIC) stayed unbeaten in the NSIC Saturday afternoon as they took down No. 11 Augustana 21-14. With the win, Head Coach Steve Constanzo captured his 300th career win at St. Cloud State.
The dual began at 285 where Zach Glazier came away with five takedowns and four back points to win by tech fall. Moving back up to 125, Ben Aranda produced a 5-0 shutout victory with a first period takedown. He added on an escape point and riding time with 1:51 accumulated.
With an 8-0 lead, three takedowns propelled Dominic Ducato to a 10-1 major decision with one coming with seconds remaining in the match to secure the bonus point win.
Augustana would take the next two matches as No. 15 Luke Koenen beta Jayce Luna and No. 6 Nolan Ambrose came away with a tech fall over Rowdy Neighbor.
Now leading 12-8, No. 2 Joel Jesuroga took to the mat against reining National Champion (149) Cael Larson. In what was a hard fought match, the two wrestlers each tallied an escape as the match was tied 1-1 early in period three. With 40 seconds remaining, Jesuroga went deep on a single leg. Larson was near the edge of the mat, but Jesuroga was able to pull him back to keep him in bounds. He then lifted Larson's leg up and sweeped the other down to score the takedown. Larson would escape, but Jesuroga ultimately came away with a 4-2 victory.
Gabriel Smith would follow at 165 where his match against Payton Handevidt went into overtime tied 1-1. Handevidt would secure Smith's leg, but Smith fought into a scramble situation where he secured an ankle. Smith held firm on the ankle and worked his way into a position where he could finish off the takedown. He ultimately won 4-1 as the Huskies led 18-8.
Moving to 174 pounds, No. 11 Bryce Dagel took on No. 5 Coy Gunderson. Like the previous bout, the match would go into overtime tied 1-1. Dagel nearly came away with a late takedown in the third after he evaded an attack by Gunderson and countered with a lift that took Gunderson down, but he was out of bounds. Overtime saw Gunderson shoot on a double leg attack and secure the takedown to beat Dagel 4-1.
No. 2 Cole Glazier secured the dual victory for the Huskies with a 1-0 win over Charlie Petit. To close out the match, Tyson Meyer battled against No. 1 Max Ramberg, but a late takedown in the third secured the 4-1 win for Ramberg. St. Cloud State would ultimately win 21-14 for their six straight win.
