CHADRON, Neb. - #18 Colorado School of Mines won seven bouts as they dominated #19 Chadron State in a 27-9 dual win.

The Orediggers (5-2, 3-0 RMAC) remained perfect in conference competition as they raced out to an 18-0 lead thanks to victories in the opening four weight classes. Jake Woods highlighted the meet with an upset of #9 Brandon Kile at 133, while Matt Lavengood and Taylor Gambill picked up falls at 125 and 141, respectively. The Eagles fell to 4-9 overall and 1-5 in the RMAC.

Lavengood got Mines off to a fast start with his fifth straight dual win, pinning Tate Stoddard in 4:47. Woods faced a tall task in Kile at 133 and started aggressively with a quick takedown; Kile tied it with escapes in the first and second periods, but Woods reversed off the start of the third and then held off Kile to win 4-3.

Gambill dominated from the whistle at 141 to pin Joe Taylor in 1:45, and Noah Ottum made it four straight wins and an 18-0 lead with a decision at 149. Ottum rode out an early takedown in the first, but Karst worked a two-point tilt early in the second to tie it before Ottum escaped for the lead; a takedown late in the period gave Ottum a 5-2 lead, and he traded two escapes for two takedowns in the third to win 8-6 with riding time. 

#7 Chase Clasen earned Chadron State's first win with a 9-4 decision over Jack Damenti at 157, but #12 Skyler Lykins got it back at 165 with a win over Tate Allison to improve to 7-0 in duals. Lykins' escape to start the second was the first scoring of the bout, but Allison earned a quick takedown before Lykins escaped again and scored two on a scramble late in the period to lead 4-2. Lykins rode out the third to win 5-2. 

Perry Rodenbeck picked up his first collegiate dual win with a 7-3 victory over Gavin Eason at 174, using three takedowns and riding time to make it a 24-3 Oredigger lead. Connor Ventura then sealed the win with a 5-1 victory at 184, using a third-period takedown and two near-fall points to break 1-1 tie. The bout of the day was at 197 pounds where Nolan Funk came back to force overtime, but lost 10-8 to #6 Wade French; Funk trailed 7-4 in the third but scored two takedowns and rode out French to force sudden victory. The heavyweight bout also went extra time as Mike True and Mason Watt traded escapes in regulation; Watt found a takedown with six seconds left in the first sudden victory to win 3-1.
