No. 2 Iowa State Blanks Rider, 34-0

Courtesy: Athletics Communications
Release: 11/16/2007

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. – The second-ranked Iowa State wrestling squad etched its second dual victory of the season with a 34-0 victory over Rider Friday night in Alumni Gym. David Bertolino upset No. 11 T.J. Morrison at 197 pounds and three Cyclones -- Nick Fanthorpe (133), Jon Reader (165) and David Zabriskie (HWT) -- provided bonus points. Winning in their ISU dual debut were Mark Kist and Chris Pursel at 125 and 174 pounds, respectively.

Pursel made his first start for the Cyclones and took a 7-3 decision over Joe Ferber at 174 pounds. Hailing from Effingham, Kan., Pursel registered a takedown at 1:01 in the first period and another at 1:34 in the second period. A reversal in the third sealed the sophomore's first dual victory.

“Both Kist and Pursel had a great first match,” Sanderson said. “They did what we told them to and we’re proud of them.”

Iowa State will travel to Binghamton, N.Y., to wrestle in the Binghamton Duals Sunday. The Cyclones will face a trio of opponents in Clarion, West Virginia and Binghamton starting at 8:30 a.m. CST. Action returns to Hilton Coliseum Dec. 9 as ISU will play host to intrastate rival Iowa at 2 p.m.
