EC Men’s Wrestling Wins Three Titles at Dubuque
DUBUQUE, Iowa – The Eureka men's wrestling team took on Cornell College and Dubuque at the Small College Wrestling Invite at Dubuque on Saturday.
The Red Devils finished with 11 place-winners, including a trio of champions at 125, 133 and 166 pounds.
Jake Jozwiak (Lake Villa, Ill./Grayslake North/Lincoln), Gaige Owens (Marion, Ill./Marion/Iowa Wesleyan), and Andrew Sims (Heyworth, Ill./Heyworth/Lincoln) all took first place at their respective weight classes.
Sims and Owens both went 3-0 on the day. At 165, Sims defeated Cornell's Cory Stewart by 10-4 decision to start the tournament. He followed that with a 7-1 decision over Dubuque's Thomas McCreadie, and then clinched the title with a 16-3 major decision over Cornell's Jackson Gonzalez.
At 133, Owens opened with an 18-0 tech fall over Cornell's Ayden Nicklaus, and then pinned Cornell's Christian Diaz in 2:18. His tournament ended with a win by medical forfeit over Dubuque's Ty-Quan Strowder.
Jozwiak went 2-1 at 125, scoring a 14-4 major decision over Cornell's Jayden Rael.
"The team looked good today," EC coach Eric Biehl said. "There are still things we need to tighten down before the postseason, but we competed well."
The Eureka men will next wrestle at the Central College Open on Friday at 5 p.m. The Eureka women are set to compete in the McKendree Open on Sunday at 9 a.m.
