GREAT FALLS, Mont. – The EOU Men's Wrestling team was on the road Thursday night as they traveled to Great Falls, Mont. to take on the Argonauts. The Blue and Gold battled till the end with Great Falls, often stealing momentum. However, when the final whistle blew, the Mountaineers found themselves down 25-16.
 
Head Coach Dustyn Azure said, "It was a hard fought battle tonight but we came up a little short because of bonus points." He added, "We need to keep the bonus points off the board when we dual and we need to capitalize more on bonus point opportunities."
 
Despite the loss, EOU notched key victories with sophomore Mhar Caballa at 125, junior Matt Nguyen at 133, freshman Brendon Vladic at 141, sophomore Ryan Middleton at 157, and sophomore Clark Woodward at 184.
 
EOU returns to the mat tomorrow when they take on Montana State Northern in Havre, Mont.
