Boise State/Northern Colorado Weekend

[GopherHole]

Jacks dominate both Boise State and Northern Colorado at Frost Arena this weekend. They keep picking up momentum in their best season in D1.

#20 SDSU 37 - Boise State 3

Jacks nearly sweep the Broncos, as Alex Macki lost a narrow decision 11-9 at 285. Luke Zilverberg won the tightest match 5-3 in sudden victory. He was leading 3-1 late in the third period when he gave up a takedown to be forced into overtime. He scored a takedown in the overtime frame to secure the win. SDSU is 4-0 all time versus Boise State.

#20 SDSU 34 - Northern Colorado 6

Winning eight of ten matches easily secured the match for the Rabbits, but several of the matches were closer than on Friday night. Zilverberg again had to win 5-3 by scoring a reversal in sudden victory. Just like Friday night, he gave up a takedown late in the third to be forced into overtime. #6 Seth Gross and Alex Kocer both pinned their opponents and David Kocer and #8 Nate Rotert won by technical falls.

Next weekend the Jacks travel west to face #23 Wyoming on Friday night and the Air Force Academy on Sunday afternoon. This will be a good test as #23 Wyoming has four ranked wrestlers.

Key matches against Wyoming:

125 lbs. - Ben Gillette vs. Gunnar Woodburn (Gillette should win, but it could be close.)
141 lbs. - Isaac Andrade vs. #8 Bryce Meredith (Meredith needs major bonus points for the Pokes to have a chance to win.)
149 lbs. - Alex Kocer vs. #11 Cole Mendenhall (This should be a dandy!)
157 lbs. - Logan Peterson/Collin Holler vs. #12 Archie Colgan (Again, Colgan needs to score major bonus points for Pokes.)
165 lbs. - Luke Zilverberg vs. #16 Branson Ashworth (Another marquee matchup that could decide between Pokes victory or blowout by SDSU.)

Gross will dominate at 133. The upper weights should fall SDSU's direction with major team points for Rotert.
