A quartet of pins gave the Central College wrestling team the boost it needed in a 34-13 win over Nebraska Wesleyan University on Thursday night.
The victory was the first in American Rivers Conference competition for the Dutch. The 7-1 overall start to the dual season matches the program’s best start under Van Kley in 2012-13.
“It’s a solid start to the season,” coach Eric Van Kley said. “At the same time, everyone in our program knows there’s a lot of things we’ve got to get better at. We’re committed to working on those things.”
A month-long layover for the Dutch that lasts through much of December ends with a dual on January 4 against the University of Ozarks at 2 p.m. in H.S. Kuyper Fieldhouse. The Central Invitational will take place the following day.
