Each team won seven matches. "We had our opportunities to win the dual," said Coach Matt Myrvik. "Right now, we are just giving up too many falls. We need to make strides to go the distance and continue to believe that we can." T

he coaching staff remains optimistic that the team will continue to improve. "As coaches, we ask them to go out and compete, and we feel like we are doing that from the JV to the varsity," said Myrvik.

"And it will pay off for them if they continue to push each other and believe in themselves." Eric Carrasco at 113 pounds, Jonah Gruenes at 145 and Blake Reiss at 152 all notched pins for the Vikings. The pins for Carrasco and Reiss both came in the first period, while Gruenes' came early in the second period.
