Beavers Gnaw Down Stanford Cardinal (1) - Jan 10, 2015

133 - Schram vs Hathaway

 1,207 fans watched as the Oregon State Beavers turned the score back to their favor and gnawed the Cardinal to the ground, final score OSU 19, Cardinal 12!

The meet began with a moment of silence to honor two former Beaver wrestlers one more time, Herb Haberlach and Joel Neuschwander who both died recently. May they rest in peace.

If anyone would like to make memorial donations in either Herb's or Joel's memory, both requested donations be made to Oregon State Wrestling. Checks may be made out to Oregon State Wrestling Endowment Fund and mailed to: OSU Wrestling Office, 129 Gill Coliseum, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331. Thank you!

133 - Jack Hathaway

 Formalities completed, the focus returned to the mat. Most people figured the dual would be close. The 133 pound weight class started things off. After 3 periods, the score was tied 3-3. It took Jack Hathaway Over-Time to win the first match over Connor Schram 5-3. Score: Beavers 3 Stanford 0.

133 - Hathaway!

Next up, 141 Jared Reis filled in for Devin Reynolds. Reis lost to Isaiah Locsin, but held it to a decision 5-12. Score: Beavers 3 Stanford 3.
