RICHMOND, Va. — No. 18 Averett University men's wrestling dominated Bluefield University 53-0 on Friday night at St. Christopher's High School.
Averett won every match and now moves to 20-6 on the year in dual matches. The Cougars won five of the matches due to forfeit.
At the 157 mark, No. 15 nationally ranked freshman
Jesse Alvarado bounced back earning a tech fall after suffering his first lost of the year last time out. Averett then made a clean sweep of wins from 174-285, none due to forfeit. This run was finished off by the No. 13 ranked wrestler in the country at 285, junior
Trent Ragland, with a pin.
The Cougars are back in action Sunday when they travel to Westminster, Md., to battle McDaniel College and Waynesburg University.
