Men's Wrestling Gregg Petcoff

No. 16 Grizzlies Claw Mountaineers

ALAMOSA, Colo.  Western Colorado wrestling wasn't able to duplicate its upset results of one night prior, dropping a 34-3 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference decision to 16th-ranked and host Adams State Friday night at Plachy Hall.

On Thursday, at home in Paul Wright Gym, the Mountaineers upset No. 17 Chadron State, 20-18.

The dual against the Grizzlies, however, didn't roll that way as ASU, while not registering any pins, earned six bonus-point victories during Friday's dual.

Western's lone win of the night came at the final weight as Riley Butt – who earned the win Friday to push Western from behind in the upset of Chadron State – picked up a 5-2 decision at 285 pounds, scoring a deciding takedown midway through the third period.

In one of the Mountaineers' close calls during the dual, 11th-ranked Vincent Cabral surrendered only an escape and ride time point in a 2-0 win by third-ranked Aaden Valdez at 157 pounds.

In another tight match, Hunter Richardson only gave up one takedown in a 4-1 loss at 174 pounds.

UP NEXT
The Mountaineers will close out their regular season duals schedule on Friday, Feb. 13 with a home match against 22nd-ranked Colorado Mesa University.

The dual will serve as Western's Senior Night and Faculty/Staff Appreciation Night.
