3-Straight Ranked Wins For The Sun Devils

Despite the slow start, the Sun Devils responded with three consecutive ranked wins at 141, 149, and 157. #24 Jesse Vasquez who has been out with injury most of the year, defeated #30 Jason Miranda in a controlling 8-3 victory. Then, #3 Kyle Parco defeated fellow All-American #8Jaden Abas by securing the match's only takedown, winning 5-1. 

157 pounds was the premier match of the dual featuring #3 Jacori Teemer and #6 Daniel Cardenas. Teemer defeated Cardenas back in December at the CKLV in a dominating 14-6 major decision. This match was much closer with Teemer leading 3-0 at the end of the first but Cardenas responded with an escape and takedown of his own in the second to lead 4-3 heading into the final period. Then, after an escape to tie the match, Teemer blasted through a double leg for the match-deciding takedown.

Schultz Slams The Door For The Sun Devils

With Stanford leading 17-12, Arizona State needed three-time All-American #4 Cohlton Schultz to record a pin to win the dual for the Sun Devils. Schultz’s opponent in the final match of the night was Peter Ming. Schultz and Ming have wrestled twice in their college careers with Schultz winning both - one by pin and the other by major decision. Schultz took control early and led 7-1 after the first period off of a takedown and a four-point turn. Then, with just under 20 seconds to go in the second period, Schultz put the nail in the coffin for the pin to clinch the dual for the Sun Devils.
