SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Michigan State wrestling was defeated by Cal Poly, 33-7, in its season opening dual on Friday night at the Mott Athletics Center.
The Spartans (0-1) look to bounce back on Saturday night when they take on CSU Bakersfield at 9:30 p.m. ET from the Icardo Center in Bakersfield, California. Cal Poly (1-0) won five matches by bonus en route to the victory.
Redshirt freshman 149-pounder Evan Gosz earned the first win of the evening for Michigan State, defeating Zaydrein Hernandez by decision, 9-3. Gosz picked up a takedown and four near-fall in the second period to build an 8-0 lead, later adding an escape point in the third period.
Redshirt senior heavyweight Josh Terrill closed out the dual for MSU with a 10-1 major decision over Wesley Wilson in the night's final bout.
A Holt, Michigan native, Terrill earned a point in the first period after Cal Poly was whistled for stalling twice and extended his lead to 5-0 in the second frame with an escape and a takedown. A third stall call against Wilson increased Terrill's advantage to 6-0 in the third period before his second takedown of the bout put him in bonus territory up 9-0. Terrill added the riding time point to earn a major decision, 10-1.
