         | Complete Results |

Steve Peterson (Jr., Chisago Lakes, Minn.) gets the upper-hand in his match at 157. Peterson helped Concordia to a 37-18 win over UM-Morris.

(Moorhead, Minn.)--- In a dual match that featured only three individual matches, and lasted a total of 37 minutes, Concordia walked away with a 37-18 victory over UM-Morris. The Cobbers won five weight classes by forfeit, while the Cougars were awarded two victories due to forfeit. 

In the three weight classes that had matches, one was settled due to injury default, one went to double overtime and the third was a major decision.

At 133, Concordia's Kellen Lewis (So., Radcliff, Kent.) had to retire in the first period due to an injury. That allowed UM-Morris' Jaime Compean to claim the six team points. In the 141lb weight class, the Cobbers' Zack Schroeder (Sr., Breckenridge, Minn.) gutted out a double-overtime win over Todd Sanchez. In the best match of the night, Schroeder fought through a shoulder injury to score a two-point reversal in the second extra period. The final contested weight class was at 157lbs, where Concordia's Steve Peterson (Jr., Chisago Lakes, Minn.) broke open the match in the third period to score a 14-3 major decision.

Concordia won the final five weight classes due to forfeit to come away with the 19-point victory. The Cobbers finish with a 4-12 dual match record for the 2002-03 season. Concordia will wrestle in the St. Olaf Tournament on Saturday, February 15 at 9:00am, before waiting to see if any wrestlers will qualify for the NCAA Regional Tournament on February 21-22 in Rock Island, Illinois.
