Bookmark and Share
The Stanford wrestling team fell to Arizona State (30-7), Penn (27-6) and Rutgers (33-3) on Sunday at the Stanford Duals in Burnham Pavilion. The Cardinal drops to 4-6 overall and 0-1 in the Pac-12.

ASU now stands at 6-4 overall and 2-0 in the Pac-12, while Penn improved to 4-1 and Rutgers is 10-1 on the year.

The Cardinal dropped eight of 10 bouts to ASU. Junior Bret Baumbach scored Stanford's first points of the dual with an 11-3 major decision over Hans Rasmusson at 165 pounds.

In the final bout against the Sun Devils, Cardinal redshirt freshman Evan Silver picked up a 3-1 decision over Dalton Miller at 125 pounds. A takedown in the first period for Silver was the difference-maker.

Against Penn, Baumbach was again one of two Cardinal wrestlers to earn a win. He posted an 8-4 decision over Brad Wukie at 165 pounds.

Junior heavyweight Dan Scherer also scored points for Stanford against Penn. He recorded a 3-1 sudden victory decision over Steven Graziano. Each wrestler scored an escape to force the extra time, where Scherer capitalized with a takedown.

Silver registered the lone win for the Cardinal against Rutgers. The 125-pounder trailed 4-3 after two periods. He chose down to start the third and scored an escape to force overtime. There, Silver recorded a takedown against Joseph Langel III for the sudden victory decision (6-4).

Also against the Scarlet Knights, true freshman Dylan Morris put up a good fight against 10th-ranked Greg Zannetti at 174 pounds. Morris came up just short in the final period, falling 7-5.

In the other duals of the day, Rutgers defeated Arizona State, 21-12, and Penn topped the Sun Devils, 27-10.

Stanford hits the road this week, traveling to the East Coast for four duals. The Cardinal will take on Brown, Maryland and Harvard, on Saturday in College Park, Md. Stanford will wrap up the weekend at American in Washington, D.C. on Sunday.
