Mavericks Win 7 Matches, Down Augsburg
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- No. 1 ranked UNO won seven matches Friday night to defeat Augusburg, 24-10, in a dual of defending NCAA national team champions.
The Mavericks improved to 6-0 in avenging a 2005 loss to Augsburg, the No. 2 ranked team in NCAA Division III. Each team won its national tournament last year. Augsburg fell to 7-2 in duals.
UNO scored decisions in the first five weights to claim a 15-0 lead, with UNO's No. 2 ranked Parick Allibone at 157 pounds handing Augsburg's Jeremy Anderson his first loss of the year after 30 straight wins, 4-2, on a third-period escape and riding time.
After Augusburg won three of the next four matches to close the gap to 18-10, senior heavyweight Les Sigman, who has been sidelined with a shoulder injury for two weeks, returned to the mat to pin Dylan Soberg in 2:45 to cap the win.
