TEMPE, Ariz. – Before No. 6 Arizona State Wrestling starts the 2018-19 regular season next weekend, the Sun Devils hosted their annual Maroon & Gold Intrasquad, this year at Wells Fargo Arena. Despite some significant victories for the maroon team, the gold team came away with a decisive victory, 32-18.
Josh Kramer, who moved up to 133 lbs and Austyn Harris (197) kicked off the match with back-to-back decisions before Ryan Millhof (125) added a tech fall to give the gold team an early 11-0 lead.
Kordell Norfleet (184) and Christian Pagdilao (157) also gave the gold team bonus point victories while Josh Shields, moving up to 165, picked up a decision. Cory Crooks also earned a decision in the first sudden victory period for the gold team.
Of note, transfer Josiah Kline won both his matches by fall in the second period to give the maroon team 12 of their 18 points. Brady Daniel (HWT) and freshman Jacori Teemer (149) also earned decisions to account for the remainder of the maroon team's points.
The Sun Devils open the season on the road next weekend – at the 48th Bison Open in Fargo, ND Nov. 10 and in a dual vs. South Dakota State in Sioux Falls, SD Nov. 11.
ASU returns home to host North Carolina (Nov. 17/7 pm) and No. 2 Ohio State (Nov. 18/12 pm) in two weeks. Fans can purchase tickets for the season here: https://thesundevils.com/sports/2014/10/29/209739045.aspx.
