Eleven Bulldogs went 2-0 in dual meets on Tuesday (May 18) with five of them pinning two opponents as M-S stayed unbeaten for the wrestling season.
M-S decisioned Westville 62-15 and Robinson 78-6 in matches held at Westville.
For the night, M-S wrestlers won 24 of 28 matches. Seventeen of the wins were by pin, six were by forfeit and one was a 3-1 decision.
Pinning their way through the night were Logan Hillard (138 pounds), Logan Petro (145 pounds), Braeden Heinold (152 pounds), Peyton Myers (160 pounds) and Daniel Renshaw (220 pounds).
Three Bulldogs collected pins in less than 20 seconds: Renshaw (10 seconds), Hillard (13 seconds) and Gage Granadino (19 seconds at 170 pounds). Heinold also had a sub-one-minute pin (35 seconds).
Other M-S competitors who were 2-0 for the night were Lukas Alstetter (106 pounds), Caden Hatton (113 pounds), Tallen Pawlak (132 pounds), Granadino (170 pounds), Brennan Houser (182 pounds) and Mateo Casillas (195 pounds).
Casillas’ match against his Westville opponent was the only one for the evening not to end early. He used all six minutes for his 3-1 triumph.
Finishing the day 1-1 for the Bulldogs were Payton Ragona (126 pounds) and Colton Crowley (285 pounds).
M-S (9-0) starts the Apollo Conference portion of its dual-meet series on Thursday at Mount Zion in a meet that will also include Mattoon.
Mahomet-Seymour Girls’ Soccer
Cayla Koerner scored four goals and M-S teammates Nyah Biegler and Lauren Schnepper each added two goals on Tuesday (May 18) as the Bulldogs won their 11th consecutive girls’ soccer match, 9-0 at Mount Zion.
Grace Lietz hit the other M-S goal.
The Bulldogs led 6-0 at halftime against the team that started Tuesday in second place in the Apollo Conference.
Brea Benson had four assists and four teammates contributed one assist apiece: Abby Bunting, Delaney King, Koerner and Schnepper.
M-S is 7-0 in Apollo Conference matches.
“Like the Koolaid Man, Mahomet continued their run through the drywall of the Apollo Conference,” M-S coach Jeremy Davis said. “The Bulldogs were able to jump out early once again, being up by two in the first 10 minutes.
“The ladies had another strong team-wide performance, with the defensive backs possessing the ball especially well. Lauren Schnepper had a standout night. She consistently was in-synch with Koerner and was able to clean up some ducks squatting inside the box, shooting them into the back of the net.”
M-S is 11-1 overall and returns to action on Thursday at home against Charleston with a chance to clinch at least a share of the conference crown.
