Stanford wrestling (5-3, 4-0 pac-12) wrapped up the regular season with two duals in Corvallis on Sunday, finishing with a win against Pac-12 rival Oregon State (4-5, 0-1 Pac-12) 19-16 and a 16-19 loss to Utah Valley (2-2, 0-1 Pac-12).
Most of the Cardinal in lower weight classes went 1-1 in their matches. Sophomore Jackson DiSario won his first match but lost his second, while sophomore Luciano Arroyo won his second match but lost his first. While fourteenth-ranked redshirt freshman Jaden Abas defeated his first opponent, he lost via fall to Utah Valley’s Cameron Hunsaker with 2:16 remaining in his match. The six-point fall ended up being the difference maker in the team’s 16-19 loss against the Wolverines.
