WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Marshfield won the first three matches, but only two more and dropped a 46-23 decision to Wisconsin Rapids in a Wisconsin Valley Conference wrestling dual meet on Thursday night at Lincoln High School.
Hoyt Blaskowski won a 6-2 decision at 132 pounds, and Gabe Pugh (138) and Ryan Dolezal (145) followed with major decisions to give Marshfield a quick 11-0 lead before Wisconsin Rapids got rolling.
The Raiders won the next nine matches, two by pin, two more by technical fall, and three by forfeit, to open up a big lead.
Leo Brostowitz (182) and Andrew Schutz (195) won by pin for Wisconsin Rapids (2-0 WVC).
Shane Westerhausen (120) and Keagan Cliver (126) finished off the match with pins for Marshfield (0-2 WVC).
Both teams return to action Saturday. Marshfield is at the Wisconsin Dells Invitational and Wisconsin Rapids will compete at the Sun Prairie Invitational.
