Leonel Sanchez scored a pin at 174 pounds and Cal State Fullerton
won six more matches Sunday night to register a 28-13 dual match victory
at Northern Colorado and earn a split of their day-night doubleheader
that began in Laramie, Wyoming. Fullerton ends the dual match season at
6-13.
Sanchez pinned Alex Joseph in the first minute of the third period to
put the Titans comfortably ahead by a 13-3 score. The win was the 31st
of the season for Sanchez and the pin was his 11th, both totals in the
national top five.
Ian Murphy(184) followed with a technical fall (20-5) over Nathan Kimberlin
and Landon Seefeldt (197) decisioned Reece Hopkin to put the Titans ahead,
21-3. Major decisions by Jesse Miramontes at 125 and Juan Mora at 141
easily offset a minus point for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Fullerton next competes in the Pac-10 Championships Feb. 29 and Mach 1
in Tempe,Arizona.
