SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Newman Wrestling had a second straight weekend of double duals in a day, this time heading to Springfield to take on the Ouachita Baptist Tigers in an MIAA tilt and Drury in the Jets final non-conference dual of the season.
The Jets had gone 2-0 last weekend in Mulvane, picking up wins over Labette and Friends.
Friday’s duals would also be the last on the road for the Jets in the regular season. .
Dual 1: Ouachita Baptist
The Jets and Tigers went back and fourth in the first dual of the day, with the Tigers winning the last several matchups to take the win from Newman.
Dylan Sheler picked up his first MIAA dual win of the season, defeating his opponent by technical fall. It took time for Sheler to get the win against his opponent, taking seven minutes of physical action to pick up the first points for Newman. His win gave the Jets an advantage to start the dual.
After losing the next two matches, Newman rebounded with Colby Schreiner picking up a major decision win.
Jace Fisher continued his undefeated dual season, with this being his fourth dual win in the MIAA this season. Fisher won both dual matches in dominant fashion last weekend, giving his opponents only four points combined.
Chris Mapp scored a decision win to give the Jets the advantage, but the Tigers were able to win the last three contests to win the dual.
The Tigers won 29-15.
