Lancers Finish Strong With Three-Match Winning Streak At Cal Poly

SAN LUIS OBISPO – After a 16-day layoff, California Baptist University wrestling made its return to the mat to face a strong Cal Poly team on Sunday in the Mott Athletics Center.
The Lancers won the final three matches of the day in impressive fashion, but fell to the Mustangs on a score of 30-12. Cal Poly, an affiliate member of the Pac-12 Conference, is off to a strong start to the season. The Mustangs nearly upset Oregon State in a 23-17 dual loss on Jan. 14 and opened Sunday with a dominant 33-8 win over Little Rock.
Caden Gerlach, Evan Bockman and Zach Schrader picked up CBU's three wins at 184, 197 and heavyweight, respectively. The trio now improves to 2-1 in duals on the season.
Gerlach put up bonus points with a first-period pin in his match. Defense got everything started for him, as he fended off a single-leg attempt from Cal Poly's Jarad Priest, and then dominated on top to seemingly easily secure the fall.
Bockman put on a takedown clinic in his bout, as he used four takedowns in his 9-5 victory over Trevor Tinker.
The most impressive win of the day belonged to Schrader, though, as he handed Sam Aguilar (4-1) his first loss of the season in overtime. It took three extra sessions to decide the winner, and Schrader notched a tough escape point in the waning seconds of the second overtime period to tie things up, 2-2, and force another sudden-victory situation.
Schrader locked in on an ankle pick and worked his way to the only takedown of the match for the 4-2 victory. Both of Schrader's wins have come in overtime, while he brings his career record to 65-30-1.
RANKINGS
Three Mustangs came into Sunday ranked in their respective weight classes. Bernie Truax is ranked No. 22 at 174 pounds by TrackWrestling, while Legend Lamer (149) and Lawrence Saenz (141) were ranked No. 25 and 33 at their respective weight classes in the same poll.
Truax was also 4-1 with a win over his Beavers' opponent and a close, overtime loss to sixth-ranked Demetrius Romero of Utah Valley.
While CBU's 149-pounder AJ Raya didn't get the win, he was impressive in a close 4-2 defeat to No. 25 Lamer, who is now 7-0 this year, with a win over his Oregon State foe last week already under his belt..
The Lancers got an impressive performance from redshirt freshman Max Hammond, who dropped a 6-2 decision in his official collegiate debut, which included his first takedown at 157. Brandon Paulson (4-0) and Josh Grant (6-2) also lost on decisions in their respective matches at 133 and 165.
EXTRAS
CBU wrestled several extra matches on Sunday, as well, against Cal Poly and Little Rock wrestlers. Schrader picked up his third win of the year with a first-period pin, while Louis Rojas won by major decision at 184 pounds, and Arick Lopez won a pair of matches at 197.
LOOKING AHEAD
CBU and Cal Poly are scheduled to run it back next week, as the Lancers and Mustangs are set for a rematch in San Luis Obispo on Thursday at a time yet to be determined. Two days later, the Lancers will welcome Fresno State into the Van Dyne Gym for their home opener. The final scheduled event of the season for CBU is a dual with Vanguard in the Van Dyne Gym on Saturday, Feb. 6.
