UNC Grapplers Fall At Minnesota State, 28-11

MANKATO, Minn. -- The UNC wrestling team fell to No. 10-ranked Minnesota State, Mankato, in the Bears' first dual after winter break, 28-11. The Bears earned victories from Mark Hastings (125 lbs.), Jared Spry (149 lbs.) and Dusty Hoffschneider (HWT.).

The Mavericks earned their first win of the season by defeating the Bears by a score of 28-11, bringing their dual record to 1-1 (1-0, NCC) on the season, with UNC falling to 0-2.

The match of the night came early when #3 senior Cory Beckman (New Hampton, Iowa) squared off against #2 Brody Olson. Beckman, who owned a 1-2 record against Olson last year, notched a 5-4 victory over Olson.

Decisions by senior Jake Emerick (Pella, Iowa) at 165, senior Joel Schrimpf (Goodhue, Minn.) at 184, and junior Jon Dierks (Waldorf, Minn.) at 174, helped the Mavericks gain a 12-3 lead.

Falls from senior Tony Fratzke (Hutchinson, Minn.) at 3:58 and sophomore Mike Engelmann (Spencer, Iowa) at 4:51 helped build the Maverick's lead to 24-11.

The final and perhaps the most shocking match of the night, came when freshman Jason Rhoten (Mantorville, Minn.) faced #5 ranked Ronnie Stafford in the 141 pound weight class. Rhoten stunned Stafford with a 14-4 major decision win, giving Rhoten his first ever victory as a Maverick. The win helped the Mavericks earn a 28-11 victory over the Bears.
