`Runners Drop Hard-Fought Match at No. 7 Minnesota



MINNEAPOLIS – CSU Bakersfield's wrestling team stood tall in its season-opening match against the No. 7 ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers Friday night. Three Roadrunners won their bouts, one lost in overtime, and two others dropped one-point decisions against the Gophers as Minnesota defeated CSUB 28-9 in a tightly-contested dual.

Minnesota got the match started with a first-period pin in the 125-pound match before Bakersfield's Chance Rich put the `Runners on the scoreboard at 133, taking a 7-4 decision over Brent Jones.

The Golden Gophers went on to win the next six bouts, but three of those matches were tough battles. In the 149-pound match, CSUB's Russell Rohlfing surged in the third period against No. 11 Brayton Lee, but the Gopher held off Rohlfing's advances to earn an 8-7 decision.

At 157, No. 20 Carson Brolsma edged Wyatt Gerl with a 3-1, sudden-victory win. In the next bout, Jacob Thalin came up just short, dropping a 6-5 decision to Bailee O'Reilly.

In the final two bouts of the evening, Bakersfield finished strong as Dominic Ducharme defeated Garrett Joles, 6-4, before Jarrod Snyder won the heavyweight matchup with a 4-1, overtime victory.

The `Runners wrapped up their first and possibly toughest match of the season Friday night and will continue their road trip on Sunday at North Dakota State. CSUB's match against NDSU is scheduled for a 2 p.m. (CT) start and will be streamed live on FloWrestling.
