University Inches Closer To Gsl Title

Prep wrestling

Gordon Bash used a head and arm fold to subdue Xung Lam for the pin, wiping out a 4-0 deficit as University (6-0) topped Ferris 48-12 to move to within a match of clinching at least a tie for the Greater Spokane League title, Wednesday night at Ferris (1-5).

The Titans needed a loss by Rogers to cinch a tie, but the Pirates’ didn’t oblige, winning a 50-14 decision over Lewis and Clark.

Joel Tucker (148), Corey Rose (178) and Jared Osborn (108) also tallied pins for the Titans.
