YPSILANTI, Mich. -- Northwestern traveled to Ypsilanti on Saturday and departed with a trio of convincing dual victories under its belt, securing wins over Eastern Michigan (26-6), Clarion (39-6) and Central Michigan (25-12).
Six different NU wrestlers finished a perfect 3-0 on the day, including all four of Northwestern's ranked wrestlers: No. 1 Jason Tsirtsis (149), No. 1 Mike McMullan (Hwt.), No. 4 Pierce Harger (165) and No. 10 Alex Polizzi (197). Also a three-time winner on Saturday was 141-pounder Jameson Oster, whose wins included a sudden-victory outcome over No. 10 Zachary Horan of Central Michigan.
True freshman Bryce Brill also was a perfect 3-0 on the day at 157 pounds.
Northwestern won nine matches with bonus points and suffered only four total losses in 30 bouts.
Next weekend (Sunday, Nov. 23), the Wildcats take a break from dual meet competition to participate in the Keystone Classic tournament hosted by the University of Pennsylvania. The Wildcats claimed the event's team title in 2011 and 2012 and will look to do so again after placing third in the team standings a year ago.
