Meet Recap:

NORTHFIELD, Minn. (1/12/07)--Concordia opened the 2007 portion of their schedule in style as they cruised past St. Olaf 41-9 in a dual meet in Northfield on Friday.

The win is the third of the year for Concordia in dual meets. After losing the season opener to MSU Moorhead, CC has now won three of their last four and is 3-2 on the season. The Oles are now 1-7 in dual meets and have lost seven straight after winning their season opener against Knox College.

Concordia opened the dual meet by claiming the first six matches. Of the 10 matches, the Cobbers won eight and captured two by fall.

Brandon Bartyzal and Tony Neumann were the two Cobber athletes to pin their opponents. Bartyzal beat Ian Gatcheru in the first period at 2:28 in the 149-lb match to give CC a 20-0 lead. The win was Bartyzal's 17th of the season - second best on Concordia. Neumann pinned George Jiminez at 4:34 in the 184-lb weight class to put CC up by a commanding 38-3 margin. For Neumann, it was his 11th win of the season.

After Nyvold's forfeit win, Joe Leacox won a 20-5 major decision at 133. Josiah Simburger followed that up with a 4-1 win at 141 over the Oles' Dan Rysavy.
