CSU Hosts Annual Cleveland State Open

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Six members of the Cleveland State University wrestling team won multiple matches as the Vikings hosted the 13th annual Cleveland State Open Saturday inside Woodling Gymnasium.

After winning the Storm Open in his last tournament-style event, redshirt sophomore Caleb Stockmaster won his first two matches Saturday to reach the quarterfinals at 174 pounds. He then would drop his next bout to an opponent from Ohio State by only three points. After advancing through his first consolation match, he came up short in a 2-1 decision to end his day. Nonetheless, he now owns 11 wins this season.

Redshirt freshman Colton Carroll, redshirt senior Nick Corba and redshirt freshman Ryan Ford all won two matches via pin Saturday.

Carroll dropped his first match of the day at 174 pounds to his opponent from Ohio State but then rebounded by winning his first two consolation matches via fall. He came up short in his third consolation match to an opponent competing unattached from a Big Ten school.

Corba, who entered the day with a team-leading 14 wins, easily took care of business in his opening two matches at 184 pounds, pinning his two foes in under five minutes combined. Unfortunately, a medical issue then cropped up, forcing him into medical forfeits in his next two bouts.

Ford pinned two athletes on Division I rosters in the 149-pound bracket with his loss in the second round coming to the eventual champion. Like Carroll, Ford also picked up his first-ever pins in a CSU uniform.

True freshman John Kelbly was one of four Vikings to reach the quarterfinals at his weight class as he did so at 197 pounds. He scored a combined 21 points in winning his opening two bouts. He dropped a slim, 4-3, decision in the quarterfinals before losing to a Big Ten foe competing unattached in the consolation portion.

Sophomore Collin Kelly came up five points short to his Ohio State opponent in his opening match of the day. He would come back with a technical fall win in his first consolation bout before gutting out a 3-1 win over a Michigan State opponent in his next match. His day came to an end when he lost to a Big Ten athlete competing unattached in his third consolation match.

Redshirt freshman Cameron Lathem posted a pin over a Big Ten opponent at 125 pounds while true freshman Georgio Poullas defeated an Atlantic Coast Conference foe at 165 pounds. Lathem lost to the eventual champion in the quarterfinals.

Sophomore Chris Morrow (184) and redshirt freshman Mike Santillo (133) each picked up one win Saturday as well.

No team scores were kept at the event.

Cleveland State will resume action on the first two days of 2018 as it competes at the prestigious Southern Scuffle event.
