SAN FRANCISCO –The 19th ranked SF State Gators will host the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners and Simon Fraser Clan this Friday, January 31 on Senior Day.  The Gators will face Cal State Bakersfield at 1pm and Simon Fraser at 3pm.  SF State will recognize its seven seniors (Marc Collier, Isaiah Hurtado, Zach Jimenez, Dylan Phillipy, A.J. Simon, Conrad Snell and Alex Williams) prior to the duals on Friday afternoon.   
 
SF State is coming off a 33-8 loss to Stanford, who was 25th in the nation in Division I, this past Saturday at The Swamp.  The Gators picked up wins at 133 as Isaiah Hurtado won by a 20-4 technical fall and Dylan Phillipy won by a 7-4 decision at 141.  SF State did lose a close match at 184 with Zach Jimenez falling by a 2-1 decision.
 
This was the Gators' first loss this season to a nationally ranked team as they are now 6-3 overall including 5-1 against top 25 teams (NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II or NAIA).
 
With the wins, Hurtado improves to 20-6 while Phillipy is now at 17-9.  Other Gators with at least 15 wins this season are Hildelv Manzur (15-11 at 285), Zach Jimenez (17-9 at 184) and Andrew Reggi (19-5 at 197).
