EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - SIUE wrestling ran its winning streak to five matches with a 47-0 triumph over Lindenwood at First Community Arena.
SIUE improved to 5-2 while Lindenwood dropped to 2-7.
Eight SIUE wrestlers stepped up for bonus points, including pins from
Davian Guanajuato at 125 pounds and
Jorden Johnson at 165 pounds.
"I'm really happy with that," said Spates. "Our offense has been a lot better the last few weeks."
SIUE's dual match winning streak is at the longest since the Cougars moved to the Division I level. It also is the longest since the 1986-87 season when SIUE won six straight.
The Cougars picked up technical falls from
Eric Almarinez at 141,

Johnson also moved up a weight class for his first action at 165.
"Jorden did a great job stepping into the lineup," added Spates.
