Muskegon CC downs Olivet & Alma

JAYHAWKS UPEND DIII SCHOOLS MISSING THREE STARTERS

The #11 Jayhawks traveled to Olivet, MI on Saturday, November 22 to compete in the Olivet Duals. The Jayhawks faced multiple obstacles this weekend and were able to upset Olivet College 23-22 and Alma College 23-20. The Jayhawks added another win against Davenport University 34-9. The Biggest obstacle for the Jayhawks had to overcome was having three wrestlers out of their line-up. The Jayhawks were down their 125, 174, & 184 starters that caused them to forfeit two of the ten weight classes.  

The Jayhawks opened their day against Olivet College with the most exciting Dual match of the day. The Jayhawks were down 22-17 going into the HWT match between MCC’s freshmen Jay Sroufe (Britton, MI/Dundee HS) and Jesse Judge of Olivet. Sroufe was able to pin Judge with just 19 seconds left in the match scoring six team points and giving the Jayhawks a 23-22 win. “As intense as the moment was I had a lot of confidence that Jay was going to come through for the team. He was getting better as the match continued and was getting closer and closer to getting a pin. You could feel the excitement building.” said Head Coach James Tietema.

The Jayhawks continued to wrestle well against Davenport winning 34-9. The Jayhawks were set up for a great tournament with only one match to go. The Jayhawks were facing Alma College in their final match and once again found themselves in a HWT match that would decide the Dual, tied 20-20 at the start of

HWT match. This time it was freshman John Marogen (Monroe, MI/Dundee HS), a high school teammate of Sroufe at Dundee HS, to win the dual for the Jayhawks.  “John wrestled a smart HWT match. He controlled the action and tempo of the match to receive a stalling point that gave him the lead. He then was patient and let his opponent force a bad attack and countered for the win.” Head Coach James Tietema said about the match. The Jayhawks beat Alma College 23-20.

The Jayhawks take a short break for Thanksgiving and will be back in action on Friday and Saturday,

December 5 & 6 in Niagara, NY in the Timberwolves Open.
