Last week the CSC Eagle wrestlers traveled to Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Alamosa, Colorado, to take on the New Mexico Highlands University Cowboys and the Adams State University Grizzlies.

Thursday, the Eagles fell to the Cowboys, 10-22.

CSC started out strong with a 13-7 win from Robert Ozuna, freshman of Omaha, 125-pounds, but they couldn’t keep the momentum and dropped the 133-pound match.

Zack Denney, redshirt freshman of North Platte, 141-pounds, earned a decision for CSC, but that win was a stand alone. Three Cowboy decisions followed.

However, Caleb Copeland, sophomore of Bennett, Colorado, 174-pounds, brought the heat and earned a 14-6 major decision over his opponent, racking up the third win for the Eagles.

The CSC wrestlers upped their game Friday winning the dual against the Grizzlies, 27-17.

Wins came from Taylor Summers, sophomore of Plymouth, 133-pounds; Denney; Jacob Anderson, sophomore of Central City, 149-pounds; Reed Burgener, sophomore of Douglas, Wyoming, 157-pounds; Devan Fors, senior of Roseburg, Oregon, 197-pounds; and Jake Weber, sophomore of Rapid City, South Dakota, 285-pounds.

Both Burgener and Fors won their matches by fall in 6:17 and 1:31, respectively. Summers earned a forfeit, and the rest of the Eagle victories were decisions.

The next wrestling action will be on the road against the Colorado School of Mines Orediggers in Golden, Colorado, and will be the last regular season match before the Eagles travel to the Super Region Four Tournament in Pueblo, Colorado.
