ASHLAND, Ore. — The San Francisco State wrestling team dropped a pair of duals, 32-16 to Corban and 25-13 to host Southern Oregon, on Saturday at Riehm Arena.

Falls plagued the Gators versus Corban. The Gators fell behind after Zach Wright was pinned at 125 pounds. Tony Margiotta gave the Gators a brief lead with his first of two wins on the day, an 8-7 win over Bo Davis at 133 pounds. The Gators suffered another pin at 141 pounds but the Gators pulled to within a point, 12-11, thanks to major decisions from Joshua Fuentes Norikiyo and Kyle Botelho. Another fall at 165 pounds by David Rubio, the No. 4 ranked wrestler in NAIA, kept the Warriors ahead 18-11. Gage Mettler scored a tech fall, 20-2, that pulled the Gators to within two but another Corban pin at 184 pounds proved costly. The Warriors closed out the meeting with a pair of major decisions.
