RIVERSIDE--- The California Baptist University wrestling team opened its home schedule on Saturday afternoon as it hosted #20 Stanford at Van Dyne Gym.
The Cardinal would earn bonus points in all six of its match victories to pull away with the 29-12 victory. The Lancers would claim victories in four matches, earning decisions in each one.
The dual began at 157lbs with Drayden Morton squaring off against #6 Daniel Cardenas. The 2x All-American and reigning Pac-12 Champion Cardenas would put six points on the board early for Stanford, registering the fall over Morton. The Cardinal added four more points at 165lbs with another two-time All-American #7 Hunter Garvin taking a major decision over Gabe Schumm.
The Lancers' first points of the match came from Mason Espinoza, who would get a critical reversal in the second period paired with over a minute of riding time to claim the match 3-1 over Collin Guffey. Stanford widened their lead at 184lbs, getting six more points off a fall from Abraham Wojcikiewicz to make the score 16-3. Eli Sheeren would close the gap at 197 lbs, utilizing a first-period takedown and a significant riding time advantage to take the bout via decision 7-3. At Heavyweight, the Lancers continued to chip away at the team deficit, with Tristan Kemp taking home the 3-1 decision over Jackson Mankowski. Kemp's victory sliced the lead down to 16-9 at the midway point of the dual.
The Cardinal would earn critical bonus points at 125lbs with Edwin Sierra registering two crucial takedowns in the second period that would result in a 10-2 major decision for Stanford. Remy Murillo would tack on three more points for CBU at 133 lbs in what turned out to be the most action-packed match of the dual. Murillo had two first-period takedowns before Adam Mattin would return the favor in the second period with two of his own. Murillo would get another takedown in the third period and would rack up over a minute of riding time to take the 13-11 decision and give CBU a chance at the team victory.
Stanford would put away any chance of a Lancer comeback at 141lbs with Jack Consiglio tacking on four points via a major decision, and 3x Pan Am Gold medalist #13 Aden Valencia would finalize the Cardinal victory with a fall at 149lbs.
