GREELEY, Colo. – No. 1-ranked Andrew Alirez (141) improved to 17-0 on the year with a convincing 13-5 majority decision victory over No. 20-ranked Dylan Droegemuller of North Dakota State.
"Andrew is just getting better each and every week," said UNC head wrestling coach Troy Nickerson. "He's staying focused and doing what he's supposed to be being. He takes it one match at a time."
Despite the No. 1-ranking, Alirez is focused on the task at hand.
"I take it one match and one step at a time," said Alirez, who is a Greeley native. "We have a great team and a great coaching staff that helps each other get ready and prepared."
No. 21 Stevo Poulin (125) a rising redshirt freshman won his sixth match in a row with a dominating 18-3 technical fall at 5:34.
"Stevo isn't a secret anymore and he's wrestling so well," added Nickerson. "He's continuing to get and really excited about what's next."
No. 31 Andrew Berreyesa delivered the only pin of the evening when he took down No. 25 Gaven Sax.
"What a match," Nickerson said. "You could feel the energy through the entire arena and just really proud of how he battled."
The Bears are back in action Sunday at Wyoming, which is set for 1 p.m.
