Wrestling Goes 3-0, Wins Jim Fox Duals
Jan 4, 2020
DUBUQUE, Iowa - The University of Dubuque wrestling team defendied their home mat on Satruday morning with three dual wins to win the 14th Annual Jim Fox Duals.
The Spartans started off the dual tournament with dominant wins in their opening two matches over Fontbonne and MSOE, however, the match against Concorida Moorhead was a thriller. With the match still up in the air at 197, newcomer Chris Nielsen made his mark. Nielsen pinned Concordia's Gabriel Zierden midway through the third period to give the Spartans a nine point lead, sealing the match. Freshman Darryl Aiello put an exclamation point on the match with a dominating 20-9 win at 285 and the final match of the day to give UD the 29-15 win and 3-0 record on the day.
The Spartans had five individuals go a perfect 3-0 on the day. Aaron Black (125), Brendan Hazelton (133), Zarik Anderson (165) and Chris Nielsen all went 2-0 with a forfeit as their third win, while Luke Radeke pinned two oppenents and came away with a 6-4 decision in his third match. On the morning, the Spartans combined for 13 falls.
Head coach Jon McGovern added" A Good effort today by the UD Spartans wrestling team going 3-0 in the Jim Fox Duals with wins over Fontbonne University, Milwauke School of Engineering, and Concordia-Moorhead (MN), better never stops."
UD alumnus Jim Fox, was a 1963 graduate of UD, and won the IIAC title wrestling his senior year for the Spartans. The well-known Fox continued his interest in the sport of wrestling long after he graduated from the university. He would continue after his collegiate days as one of the officials at the NCAA wrestling championships in Iowa City and many other Big Ten wrestling meets around the Midwest. In front of a capacity crowd in Stolz Sports Center in 2005 it was announced this tournament would be officially named the Jim Fox Spartan Open/Duals beginning in 2006. Fox lives in Bettendorf, Iowa.
