#7 Wolfpack Collect Four Falls Against Campbell to Start Dual Action

Bethlehem, Pa. – Seventh-ranked NC State wrestling dominated Campbell by a 44-3 score at Journeymen’s WrangleMania Saturday evening to kick off its dual-match slate for the year. In its first dual-match of the 2024-25 season, NC State wrestling showed off its new lineup Saturday evening against Campbell when four of its 10 bouts ended early from pin falls. NC State got the victory in each of the four ranked match-ups featured at the 141, 157, 174, and 197 classes.
After the first two bouts at 125 and 133, the score leveled out at three a piece, but the Pack wouldn’t give the Camels anymore points from then on. Kai Orine, Ed Scott, Matty Singleton, and Christian Knop each collected falls over their opponents to allow the Pack’s team score to completely break away from Campbell’s. In addition to that, Dylan Fishback earned a technical fall in just the second period.

College wrestling | ‘Jacks have first event since return of the program
Just two years ago there was no collegiate wrestling teams in Humboldt County, on Saturday both of the local colleges had their wrestling teams in action.
It was Cal Poly Humboldt’s first wrestling action since the 1990s when the team faced off against Menlo College for a dual on Friday before competing at the Menlo Invitational tournament on Saturday as the ‘Jacks returned to the collegiate wrestling scene.
Head coach Lennie Zalesky and his team dropped their season-opening dual 38-7 in Atherton on Sunday. The ‘Jacks won two of the 10 matchups with freshman Josh Neiwert and senior Nathan Aguilar getting the wins for Humboldt, both coming by decision.
Neiwart got his win, the first of his collegiate career, in the 133-pound weight class winning 10-5 while Aguilar won 8-2 in the 141-pound weight class. Humboldt briefly held the lead on Friday, as the duals start at the lowest weight class and work their way up, following Aguilar’s win the ‘Jacks 7-5 before Menlo would take the final 33 points in the match.
There was even more action on Saturday, with the ‘Jacks competing in a 12-team tournament with Humboldt seeing a handful of top-six finishers. Freshman Caleb Tatad took sixth-place in his first college tournament at the 125-pound division. Tatad defeated Will VomBaur of Utah Valley by decision before losing to another Utah Valley wrestler, Talen Eck.
Neiwert took third place for the 133-pound class by beating Noah Messman of Menlo College in the third-place match by decision. Aguilar joined Neiwert with a third-place finish at 141 pounds with Aguilar defeating Cal State Bakersfield’s Jaxtyn Frost by decision. … more at … https://www.times-standard.com/2024/11/06/college-wrestling-jacks-have-first-event-since-return-of-the-program/
