Sun Devil Wrestling Dominates in Dual Matches, Celebrates 600th Win
Tempe, Ariz. – The No. 15 Sun Devil Wrestling team showcased an impressive performance last Friday at Desert Financial Arena, defeating in-state rivals Arizona Christian and Embry-Riddle with commanding scores of 43-3 and 48-5, respectively. With these victories, the Sun Devils improved their season record to 3-1 and celebrated a significant milestone: the 600th dual win in program history.
Coached by Zeke Jones, the Sun Devils dominated the mat, achieving 18 wins out of 20 bouts and racking up a remarkable 15 bonus-point victories. Highlighting the evening were standout performances from Emilio Ysaguirre, Carter Dibert, and Shay Addison, each securing two bonus-point wins. Newcomers made their marks as well, with Damian Moreno claiming his first dual victory and true freshman Javani Majoor celebrated his collegiate win.
The team displayed a well-rounded attack, accumulating seven pins, seven technical falls, and a major decision across both matches. Noteworthy results included Dibert’s swift victory over Arizona Christian’s Sean Archuleta via fall in just 53 seconds and a strong tech-fall by Ysaguirre against Embry-Riddle’s Adam Stanley, winning 19-4 in just 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
Looking ahead, the Sun Devils are set for a quick turnaround as they prepare to face No. 4 Oklahoma State on Sunday, marking the team’s first Big 12 Conference dual match of the season.
With a rich history of postseason success, including four consecutive top-seven finishes at the NCAA Championships, the Sun Devils are eager to maintain momentum as they aim for another strong showing in the coming weeks. Fans can follow the team on X and Instagram for updates throughout the season.
