Knights open home slate on roll

WAVERLY – Second-ranked Wartburg College produced bonus-point wins in all 10 matches en route to a 51-0 Iowa Conference dual win over Central Nov. 30.

Coach Jim Miller’s Knights, moving to 5-0 overall, received pins from fifth-ranked senior Mark Kist of Eagle Grove at 125, sophomore 141-pounder Tommy Mirocha of Davenport, freshman 165-pounder Landon Williams of Davenport, and junior 197-pounder Byron Tate of Clinton, who came into the dual with a No. 1 national ranking. Junior 133-pounder Mike Kremer of Independence, ranked No. 10, senior 149-pounder Jacob Groth of Marshalltown, ranked No. 8, and senior heavyweight John Helgerson of West Union, ranked No. 1, each won by technical fall.

The Orange and Black, upping their consecutive league dual win streak to 143, allowed only 21 escapes from the visiting Dutch (0-2, 0-2 IIAC). Wartburg ended the night with 34 takedowns, five escapes, three reversals and 15 nearfalls.

Wartburg puts its strong IIAC dual run back on the line Thursday, Dec. 2, with a 7 p.m. dual at Loras College in Dubuque.
