Bookmark and Share
The Stanford wrestling team downed visiting Cal Poly, 27-9, Sunday at Burnham Pavilion, earning its first Pac-12 Conference dual win of the season.

The Cardinal (1-2, 5-12) travels to Utah Valley on Friday and Boise State next Sunday.

Redshirt freshman Evan Silver gave Stanford the early lead with a 9-1 major decision over Britain Longmire at 125 pounds. He is 13-4 in duals this season.

Cal Poly won the next two bouts to take a 6-4 advantage but senior Timmy Boone regained the lead for the Cardinal with an 8-3 decision over Dillen Rocha at 149 pounds.

The Mustangs jumped ahead 9-7 as Kyle Chene edged Stanford junior Kyle Meyer, 4-2, at 157 pounds. However, the Cardinal would win the next five bouts to run away with the victory.

Junior Bret Baumbach captured his seventh consecutive win, a season-best streak, with a 10-0 major decision over Connor King at 165 pounds.

True freshman Thomas Kimbrell earned his first dual win since Nov. 24, posting a 9-2 decision over Mitch Woods at 174 pounds.

Ryan Davies, another true freshman for the Cardinal, also picked up a win on Sunday. Davies registered a 7-4 decision over Sean Dougherty at 184 pounds.

Redshirt freshman Michael Sojka finished the dual with a 13-1 dominating major decision over J.T. Goodwin at 197 pounds.

Melissa Seidemann scored three times in each of Stanford's victories Sunday at the UC Santa Barbara Invitational.

The Cardinal (5-0) hosts the Stanford Invitational on Saturday and next Sunday.
