UC Davis matmen lock up with No. 9 Iowa <\/p>\n

By Reporter Sports Staff<\/p>\n

DAVIS – The UC Davis wrestling team gave No. 9 Iowa all it could handle during the Hawkeyes’ West Coast swing.<\/p>\n

The Aggies won three of their final four matches against Iowa on Sunday night – including a 6-5 win by Brandon Bear against second-ranked Paul Bradley at 184 pounds. At the end of the night, the Hawkeyes prevailed by winning the first seven matches on the way to a 26-9 non-conference win before a record 5,150 fans at The Pavilion.<\/p>\n

UC Davis dropped to 3-2 with the defeat while Iowa improved to 5-1.<\/p>\n

The Hawkeyes are 5-1 after also downing Fresno State 30-7 earlier in the day in Fresno.<\/p>\n

Iowa is coached by Jim Zalesky, brother of Aggie coach Lennie Zalesky. The Hawkeyes feature six nationally-ranked wrestlers in their lineup.<\/p>\n

Davis trailed Iowa 22-0 before picking up exciting wins by Ronnie Silva at 174, Bear at 184 and Reed Shelger at 197 which closed the gap to 22-9.<\/p>\n

Bear had the biggest win of the three, scoring a takedown with 12 seconds left to upend Bradley, 6-5. Bradley entered the match the consensus No.2-ranked wrestler at 184 and lost for just the second time this season.<\/p>\n

Bear trailed Bradley 4-2 after Bradley earned a pair of takedowns in the first period. The wrestlers exchanged escapes as Bradley took a 5-3 lead early in the third. However, Bear picked up a point when Bradley was penalized for stalling, then scored the stirring win when he grabbed a takedown with just 12 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n

“That’s the biggest upset we’ve had at UC Davis, “Lennie Zalesky said. “To win like that was huge.”<\/p>\n

Silva got the Aggies on the scoreboard after Iowa rolled to wins in the first six matches. Silva trailed 4-2 midway through the second period of his 174-pound match but tied it with a takedown at the end of the period. An escape to start the third, a takedown with 27 seconds left and a three-point near fall as the clock expired catapulted Silva to the win.<\/p>\n

Shelger concluded UC Davis’ three straight wins with a 3-2 victory over Adam Fellers at 197, taking advantage of an escape and a takedown in the second period to score his three points.<\/p>\n

After Iowa won the first six bouts, Lennie Zalesky was happy to see his team rebound.<\/p>\n

“Three wins against Iowa, that’s good, “Zalesky said.<\/p>\n

The 5,150 fans are the most to ever see a UC Davis home wrestling match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
