UNC wrestling won its final six matches of the night
GREELEY, Colo. – A strong finish to its double-dual night helped Northern Colorado earn the split against Fresno State and Air Force. The Bears won their final six matches of the night to earn the 30-10 win over Fresno State. UNC fell to Air Force 31-7.
A key to Northern Colorado's late charge against the Bulldogs was a pair of extra point wins by Brody Lamb and No. 15 Jacob Seely.
Lamb started the run for the Bears with a 16-7 major decision over Chris Gaxoila of FSU. The Wellington, Colorado product came firing out of the gates with a takedown and four-point near fall in the first two minutes of the match. He was up 9-2 after the first period and 12-3 in the second. He ended up with three takedowns during the match.
No. 15 Jacob Seely bounced back after being pinned in his first match of the night against Air Force with a 16-0 tech fall. The senior accrued three four-point near falls in the match and ended it with 1:26 left on the clock in the second period.
The night was capped off by a 6-2 decision by heavyweight Robert Winters Jr. In his final match inside Bank of Colorado Arena he recorded a takedown in the first period and a key escape in the third. He put an exclamation point on his match with a second takedown with just 11 seconds remaining.
Against Air Force, No. 22 Alan Clothier won his fourth straight match by major decision, this one 10-2 over Calvin Sund. He had four takedowns in the match.
Meanwhile, No. 33 Chris Sandoval got the Bears on the board to start the night with a 7-3 win in the 141-pound match. Up 3-1 entering the third period, Sandoval used a flurry of action to come away with the 7-3 victory.
What's Ahead
Northern Colorado will be spending Valentine's Day on the mat. UNC will be in Iowa facing Big 12 foes Iowa State and Northern Iowa. Both duals will take place in Ames.
