Complete Brackets

EVANSTON, Ill. – SIUE wrestlers recorded 9.5 points at the 2016 Ken Kraft Midlands Championships.

"Overall we saw a lot of bright spots," said SIUE Head Coach Jeremy Spates. "We wrestled better in this tournament than we have in the last month."

John Muldoon and John Fahy each advanced to the fifth round in the consolation brackets but were defeated in their final matches of the day.

Muldoon led the Cougars with four points scored that included wins over Rider's Anthony Cefolo 25-7, Eastern Michigan's Sa'Derian Perry 8-2 and Central Michigan's Corey Keener 7-6.

"Keener was a No. 8 seed at this tournament and is ranked in the top 20 nationally so that was a big win for Muldoon," said Spates.

Fahy earned 3.5 points with a major decision over Arizona State's Christian Pagdilao as well as wins over North Dakota State's Kyle Gliva 8-5 (TB1) and Nebraska's Jordan Shearer 6-1.

"It was great to see Fahy wrestling again and healthy," added Spates.

Tyshawn Williams and Jake Tindle also collected a win Thursday.

"We challenged the team by wrestling a tough schedule that included four Big Ten teams, a Big 12 opponent and one of the top Southern Conference teams," said Spates. "Today was our best overall showing."

SIUE returns to action Jan. 7 with a dual meet schedule on the road in Lexington, Virginia, against George Mason and SoCon rival VMI.
