The Charger wrestling team opened their dual season in dominating fashion, defeating the visiting Buena Vista Beavers 36-10 inside the Newman Flanagan Center.
Â
"I was pleased with our intensity and grit tonight," said Head Coach
Donaco Watts. There were a couple spots where we left a couple bonus points on the board, so we'll have to work on little details a bit more in those situations. From 184 up everyone was bumped up one or two weights, so extra kudos to the effort they put forth."

Â
Dante Rigal kicked off the dual with a pin over in the first round.
Evan Fuchs followed with a pin and
Trystan Berry recorded a decision victory in the 149-bout.
