Talk about it

Spurred on by forfeit victories from Ben Bogart and Justin Cumberbatch, the Cardinal wrestlers flattened Fergus Falls 47-22 Thursday night in a Central Lakes Conference match on the road.

The Cards also picked up big wins from Dylan Kriese, Jake Nienaber, Tony Hubbard and Dan Oberg, who all earned victories by pin.

“Tristan Johnson and Mike Schluter won their matches by outscoring their opponents by more than eight points to pick up major decisions,” said head coach Tom Ellison. “Jacob Schiltgen has been wrestling really well lately and was in complete control to win his match 7-0.”

Alexandria now stands at 4-1 in the CLC, trailing just undefeated Sartell, which is 4-0 in league action.

The Cardinals are slated to head to Melrose tomorrow, Thursday.
