ST. CLOUD, Minn. (12/13/08)--Concordia finished off the 2008 portion of their schedule by placing six different wrestlers in the top six of their weight class at the St. Cloud State Husky Open on Saturday.
The Cobbers were led by All-American Tony Neumann who lost his opening match but then rattled off five straight wins and finished third in the 197-lb weight class. Neumann, who is currently ranked second in the nation in his weight class in the latest Brute-Adidas National Coaches Poll, improved his overall season record to 17-4.
The only other CC wrestler to collect five wins at the open was sophomore Ben Anderson who went 5-2 and finished fifth in the 141-lb weight class. Anderson is currently ranked fourth in the nation in the weight class and is now 15-6 on the year.
Junior Lane Lunde and freshman Daron Hohbein recorded fourth-place finishes at the meet. Lunde was 4-2 at 157 and is now 13-6 for the season.
