SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The University of Sioux Falls men's wrestling team unleashed a commanding performance Wednesday night, dismantling the Concordia-Moorhead Cobbers 34–13 in front of the home crowd at the Stewart Center. The Cougars dominated the mat, claiming seven of ten bouts with an impressive arsenal that included four falls, two major decisions, and a technical fall.
The fireworks started immediately at 125 pounds, where Vincent Mayberry wasted no time, exploding onto the mat and pinning Hunter Mars in a blistering 56 seconds to stake USF to an early 6–0 advantage.
Concordia-Moorhead struck back at 133 pounds as Kie Anderson rolled to a 13–3 major decision over Cyler Ruhoff, but the Cobbers' momentum proved short-lived. Jordon Oehme seized control at 141, methodically dismantling Jack Major en route to a decisive 15–2 major decision that put the Cougars back in the driver's seat.
The dominance continued at 149 pounds, where Sonny Lora turned up the intensity and powered his way to a second-period fall against Aidan Ruddy. Cooper Sanders kept the pressure on at 157, cruising to a 12–2 major decision over Christopher Acuna.
At 165 pounds, Luke Swanson delivered perhaps the evening's most electrifying performance, overwhelming Zach Pribyl with a devastating 17–1 technical fall in just over three minutes. Lincoln Fink added to the onslaught at 174, securing a late-match fall over Brody Duke to extend USF's commanding lead.
The Cobbers managed to claw back at 184 pounds with a hard-fought 12–11 decision over Mishael Mauck, and added six more points via forfeit at 197.
But the Cougars had the final word. Stetson Davis closed out the dual in style at heavyweight, controlling Mason Swanson throughout and securing a 6–1 decision to seal the emphatic 34–13 victory.
COACH'S CORNER
"It was a good day. Nice for everyone on the team to get a match and compete in the Stewart Center. Happy to see our team come together and score bonus points when we were short handed with injuries."
- Head Coach Matt Meuleners
