No. 13 Wrestling Downs UW-Stevens Point in Final Dual

The No. 13 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater wrestling team closed its dual season Thursday night with a 33-16 victory at UW-Stevens Point in Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action.
 
The Warhawks (10-6 overall, 4-1 WIAC) closed the dual by winning four of the last five bouts over the Pointers (8-9, 0-4).
 
Seniors Hazen Rice (Schaumburg, Ill./Schaumburg), Ryder Sigler (Fredonia, Wis./Cedarburg), sophomore Jaritt Shinhoster (Hoffman Estates, Ill./Barrington) and freshman Dakarai Clay (Madison, Wis./Madison East) each recorded pins to lead UW-Whitewater.
 
Rice, ranked second in the nation by D3wrestle.com and fourth by Intermat, improved to 20-0 at 141 pounds with a pin at 2:53. He was immediately followed by Clay, who closed the dual by flipping Mason Wheeler for a reversal and earning his pin with 12 seconds left in the third period at 149.
 
In the second bout of the dual, Stigler pinned Jordan Weinzetl in 2:48 at 165 pounds to give the Warhawks a 6-3 lead. Shinhoster, the nation's consensus No. 1 wrestler at 174 pounds, doubled the UW-W lead with a fall at 1:06, improving to 18-1 for the year.
 
After two straight wins by UW-Stevens Point, sophomore Dylan Uzumecki (Batavia, Ill./Batavia) edged Noah Wieczorek with a 4-3 decision at heavyweight to put the team ahead for good.
 
Senior Mike Tortorice (Wauconda, Ill./Carmel), ranked No. 2 by D3wrestle.com and No. 3 by Intermat, earned a forfeit at 125 pounds.
