STANFORD, Calif. – Falls by Shane Griffith and Dalton Young helped Stanford wrestling secure a 21-19 win over Columbia, Saturday, in the Cardinal's annual outdoor dual inside Football Fan Fest.
The bonus-point victories for Griffith and Young were the difference as both Stanford (3-1) and Columbia (0-1) each won five bouts.
The Cardinal jumped out to a 15-3 lead, winning four of the first five bouts. Redshirt freshman Tyler Eischens started things off for Stanford with a 6-1 decision over Riley Jacops at 157 pounds. Eischens led 2-1 after the first and rode out Jacops in the second. He added an escape, another takedown and racked up 3:37 in riding time in the win.
Griffith followed with a second-period fall over Kyle Mosher at 165 pounds. Ranked eighth nationally, Griffith registered his third pin of the season in 3:57 and remains undefeated on the year at 7-0.
True freshman Nick Addison moved to 2-1 on the season with a 9-2 decision over Joe Franzese at 184 pounds. With Addison leading 4-0 after two periods, Franzese chose neutral to start the final frame. Addison added two takedowns in the third and totaled 1:24 in riding time.
Redshirt junior Nathan Traxler, who is No. 10 in the nation at 197 pounds, turned in a 13-9 decision over Sam Wustefeld. Traxler led 6-2 after the first, but Wustefeld used a reversal and four near fall points in the second to knot the score at 9-9. Traxler answered with an escape and another takedown in the third. Wustefeld was also hit for stalling in the final period.
Young concluded the scoring for the Cardinal, posting a fall in just 1:04 over Trent Svingala at 133 pounds. Young moves to 5-2 on the year with three falls - tying Griffith for the team lead.
Stanford travels to Bakersfield for the Roadrunner Open on Sunday before taking its finals break.
