DUBUQUE, Iowa - The Spartans captured the Iowa Conference Dual over the Loras College Duhawks on Thursday night 24-18. It was a record setting evening as the Spartans captured their 13th dual meet win of the season, most in Spartans history. The Spartans fans out numbered and out cheered the host Duhawks and kept the positive energy flowing from the start to the end.
UD started off slow after losing by a fall in the opening match before winning the next four consecutive matches to stretch their lead to 18-6 after a pair of decisions and a pair of quick falls in first period matches. UD's Elton Turnage won at 174 lbs. by a score of 8-1 and Jonathan Denikas battled through two extra periods to earn the hard fought victory 6-4 at 184 lbs. The victory put pressure on the host Duhawks as they needed two falls to end the match to tie the Spartans, and two final decisions left them with a loss.
The Spartans host the Jim Fox Spartan Open on Saturday, Feb. 7. in Stoltz Sports Center and McCormick Gynmnasium. Matches begin at 9:00 a.m.
