COLLEGEVILLE, Minn.

Moenkedick was 4-0 on the day and remained unbeaten on the season. He is now 28-0 on the year. Moenkedick won two matches by pin fall and upped his team-leading pin total to 12 on the year.

Justin Berns was the only other CC wrestler to get to the championship match. He went 4-1 at 149 and finished second. He also took over the team lead in wins. He now has 35 victories on they year and is three shy of the Cobber single season record of 38 held by Mike Northcutt.
