The Scots came out strong as Steven Weatherall wrestling at 125 pounds secured a first period fall in the opening match to set the tone for the Scots. After several forfeits by both teams it was Arman Mansouri's turn to keep the momentum alive, trailing most of the match Mansouri came up big in the third period as he secured a fall at 5:43 of match and pushing the Scot lead 30 - 0.
 
In one of the better matches of the evening Raul Gonzalez Jr. survived several wild scrambles to came out with a hard fought 9-7 win over his ABC opponent, pushing Lyon's lead to 33-0. At the 197 pound weight class Rueben Vedia moved up from his usual 184 weight to battle Derrion Miller of ABC. Vedia put up a great fight but fell in the closing seconds, 3-2, giving ABC its first 3 points of the match.
 
It was on to the heavy weight match where the Scots Noah Wilson closed out the dual with an emphatic 15-4 major decision over Courtney Williams, giving the Scots a 37-3 exhibition win over Arkansas Baptist College.
 
Coaches Quotes:
"I thought we wrestled well tonight, I like that everyone of our kids went out and competed hard, which was pretty good considering many of our kids are still a little banged up from competing in St. Louis this past weekend. Being an exhibition, it was a good time to get guys in the line-up that don't normally get a chance to be in there or who are fighting for a spot.
 
Big tip of the cap to Reuben Vedia, when we found out that they didn't have a 184 pound wrestler Reuben jumped at the chance to move up a weight class and compete at 197. 
 
We don't have a lot of time to go back and fix too many things as we hit the road again Friday Afternoon to head to Texas for the Southwest Scuffle hosted by Richland College." - Coach Tom Erikson
 
Up Next for the Scots
Lyon will travel to Texas to compete in the Richland College SW Scuffle on Saturday, November 17^th.
