Grand Rapids, Mich. - The University of Findlay wrestling team delivered another dominant performance Saturday, January 24, cruising to a 46-3 victory over Davenport in a non-conference dual.
Forfeits at the two lightest weights gave UF a quick 12-0 lead.
Later at 141 pounds, graduate senior Ashton Anderson continued his strong return to competition. Wrestling for just the second time after a month-long absence, Anderson was sharp, earning a fall at 4:22 to ignite the Roughnecks' run.
At 149 lbs, Micah Cottrell added points for Findlay with a major decision. The momentum continued at 157 lbs, where junior AJ Parish won with a 7-6 decision thanks to a third period takedown.
The middle weights featured strong performances from ranked Oilers. At 165 lbs, No. 11 grad senior Gary Nilson dominated on his way to a 5-0 victory, while at 174 lbs, sophomore Donavyn Watts won by fall midway through the second period.
Findlay closed the dual with authority in the upper weights. At 184 lbs, senior Chase Stein earned a fall. The afternoon concluded at 285 lbs, where No. 10 Giulian Bodiu, a senior, capped the dominant showing with a pin in just 1:29, his 12th win by fall this season.
Findlay is back on the mats on Saturday, Jan. 31 when they head to Owensboro, Ky. for the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Championship.
