COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. – Pins from freshman Jared Goldsmith and junior Blake Bosch propelled the Minnesota State University Moorhead wrestling team to a 29-15 nonconference win over St. John's in dual action Wednesday night in Collegeville, Minn.

 
MSUM is now 1-1 in duals on the year while St. John's fell to 0-2.
 
Goldsmith got the Dragons on the board (6-0) with a pin of St. John's senior Ben Kollaja in 1:52 at 125 pounds.
 
"He got the ball rolling for the team," MSUM head coach Kris Nelson said. "He went out there and wrestled aggressive and got us the pin."
 
Bosch, ranked fifth in the nation at 133 pounds, also recorded a win by fall, pinning sophomore Chris Ortman in 6:06 to push the lead to 12-0.
 
"Blake kept the momentum going that Jared started," Nelson said. "He controlled the whole match. He was taking a lot of shots."
 
The Johnnies won at 141 by decision to cut the lead to 12-3, but MSUM won by forfeit at 149 to push the lead to 18-3.
 
Junior Garret Hoffner dominated his match at 157, beating junior Branden Schorr by technical fall, 18-1 to give MSUM a 23-3 lead.
 
The Johnnies won by decision at 165 to make it 23-6, but the Dragons quickly got those points back as freshman Brayden Kuntz beat SJU freshman Muqkadeen Poole, 14-7 at 174 to push the lead back to 20 points.
 
St. John's won by fall at 184 to make the dual 26-12. Junior Austin Warren picked up the final win for MSUM with a 5-0 decision over junior Glenn Castro at 197 pounds to make it 29-12.
 
The Johnnies won at 285 but the Dragon lead was insurmountable, making the final score 29-15.
 
MSUM plays host to Long Island University Post at 4 p.m. on Friday before hosting the 12th annual Dragon Open on Saturday.
 
"The guys wrestled aggressive," Nelson said. "We've got things we've got to work on. We gave up some points at the end of periods; we've got to wrestle the full seven minutes. But we hope to carry this momentum into Friday against LIU Post and Saturday at the Dragon Open."
