UW-Whitewater, ranked eleventh in the D3wrestle.com poll, upped its dual meet record to 5-0 and its win streak to seventeen with a 37-6 win in the Kolf Fieldhouse at UW-Oshkosh in Oshkosh, Wisconsin Friday.

UW-W received a quick, and easy, six points in the opening match of the night with Joe Meylor (Darlington/Darlington) receiving a forfeit at 125 pounds, giving Meylor his first win of the season.  Grant Sutter (Dodgeville/Dodgeville), ranked ninth by D3wrestle.com, upped Whitewater's lead to 12-0 with a pin of David Rosenau in 2:40.  Sutter, 12-1, led 9-1 at the time of the pin. 

Jake Fredrickson made it three in a row for Whitewater with an 18-4 win over Justin Schieneback in the 141 pound match.  All of Schieneback's points came on escapes at Fredrickson traded for higher points.  Fredrickson, 19-4 and ranked seventh by D3wrestle.com, had two near falls in the match as UW-W's lead increased to 16-0.

Elroy Perkin (Greenfield/Whitnall) ran the string to four in a row, and a 19-0 Whitewater lead, with a 5-1 win over Mason McMullen at 149.  Perkin led 2-1 after period one, and 4-1 after two.  Now 20-7, Perkins is in the "contender" list at D3wrestle.com.

Kegan Arthur (Petoskey, MI/Petoskey) continued Whitewater's string with a 5-1 win at 157.  Arthur and Oshkosh's Thomas Dahlke fought a scoreless first period, but Arthur got the first point on a penalty on Dahlke for stalling in period two.  Arthur added a reversal and two more penalty points in period three before Dahlke came back with an escape with time running out.  UW-W's margin increased to 22-0 as Arthur improved to 18-6 on the year.

Defending NCAA III champion, and currently ranked number two by D3wrestle.com, Nazr Kulchytskyy got Oshkosh on the board at 165 with a pin in 1:10 of Willie Anaya (Downers Grove, IL/Downers Grove).  Kulchytskyy is 11-1 with seven victories by fall, and his pin made the score 22-6.

The Titans' Dan Schiferel, ranked tenth by D3wrestle.com, got all he could handle from Whitewater's Ryan Aprahamian (Mukwonago/Mukwonago).  Schiferel led 4-2 after one and 5-4 after two.  Aprahamian took a 6-5 lead in the third, but Schiferel tied the score at 6-6 with a penalty point with 0:59 left.  Aprahamian recorded the upset with a takedown in overtime for an 8-6 victory.  Aprahamian, 11-6, upped the Whitewater lead to 25-6.

At 184 pounds the Warhawks' Andrew Pettit (Hoffman Estates, IL/Hoffman Estates) and Titans' Jay Howarth needed extra time to reach a decision.  After a scoreless first, the match was 2-2 after two periods.  Both recorded a pair of reversals in the third to end regulation in a 5-5 tie.  Pettit earned a takedown sixteen seconds into the extra period for an 8-6 win.  Pettit improved to 16-7, and Whitewater's lead increased to 28-6.

Warhawk Shane Siefert (Mundelein, IL/Carmel) was matched up with Tyler Wetenkamp, in the honorable mention category by D3wrestle.com, at 197 pounds.  Seifert, 15-4, made a case for mention in the next poll with a 4-0 win.  He led 3-0 after one on a takedown and escape, and added an escape in the second to add three more team points to a 31-6 Whitewater lead.

Whitewater's Anthony Edgren (New Lisbon/New Lisbon), the sixth Warhawk mentioned in the D3wrestle.com rankings, closed the meet with a pin at 285.  Edgren led 8-0, with two three point nearfalls, in period one.  He added six more points, to two for Oshkosh's Brandon Clapper, for an 14-2 lead after two periods, and then pinned Clapper at 4:57.  Edgren, 14-1, closed out Whitewater's 37-6 win.
