PLATTEVILLE, Wis. – The Augustana men's wrestling team completed their dual against the formerly ranked UW-Platteville Pioneers on Friday night, suffering a 36-13 road loss. 

The Vikings dropped their opening match in the 125-pound class before Trevor Boryla helped Augie rebound with a 13-4 major decision victory. Building on his success at the Pete Willson Invitational, where he finished third out of 28 wrestlers, Boryla defeated Alec Schmacht in the 133-pound division.

Augie then halted a three-class skid, with Jack Patting defeating Coy Ruess at the 165 level. Patting's victory on the mat came via fall at the 3:42 mark. In the heavyweight division, Daniel Skold defeated Brett Schoenherr by 3-2 decision to earn the final victory by a Viking wrestler. 

For their next competition, the Vikings will travel to the CCIW Championships on February 9. The conference competition begins at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday.
