ELMHURST, Ill. – The Elmhurst University men's wrestling team delivered one of its strongest performances of the season, powering past Augustana 38–9 inside R.A. Faganel Hall behind a string of dominant wins that saw the Bluejays take the first six matches of the night.

Freshman Alejandro Cordova opened the dual with authority at 125 pounds, rolling to a 17–5 major decision to give Elmhurst early momentum. At 133, Donovin Fields extended the lead with an 8–3 decision, controlling the pace from start to finish.

The energy continued at 141 pounds, where Ulises Rosas battled through regulation before delivering a thrilling 4–1 sudden-victory win. Elmhurst's crowd roared again at 149, as sophomore Ryan Hinger dominated in a 16–0 technical fall, widening the margin.

The Bluejays' national qualifier at 157, Rhenzo Augusto, followed with another high-powered performance, securing a 17–1 technical fall to push Elmhurst ahead 20–0. At 165, Nicholas Asllani needed just 1:16 to secure a first-period pin, giving the Bluejays six more points.

Augustana claimed its first win at 174 pounds, edging Corey Bradley in an 11–5 decision, but Elmhurst quickly swung momentum back its way. Mataeo Blessing picked up a forfeit at 187, and though Connor Kelly battled tough before dropping a late fall at 197, the Bluejays closed the dual in emphatic fashion.

At 285, senior Mike Milovich delivered a lightning-fast finish, earning a pin in just 41 seconds to lock down Elmhurst's dominant 38–9 victory.

With bonus points across nearly every weight class, the Bluejays displayed depth, confidence, and emerging midseason form. Elmhurst continues its homestand later this week as it looks to build on the momentum of a commanding rivalry win.

The Bluejays will hit the mat again this Saturday November 22, at Concordia, searching for a another win!
