Mankato, Minn— The Minnesota State wrestling team (2-0, 1-0 NSIC) competed in their first two duals of the season at the Taylor Center Sunday. Facing off against Truman State and Minot State in the afternoon, the Mavericks were able to claim two decisive victories on the day.
The Mavericks first took the mat against Truman State. Minnesota State fell behind early by six points but would win the next nine matches to defeat Truman State by a score of 49-6. A 7-2 decision by Paul Selman (So., 141 lbs.) over Caleb Osborn would put the Mavericks on the board and a pin in 1:46 by Louie Sanders (R-Fr., 141) against Rafael Lopez helped the Mavericks overcome the early deficit.
