SANDUSKY, Ohio --  After a year off because of COVID, the Kalahari Duals returned to the shores of Lake Erie on a rainy Saturday.  As hosts, the Heidelberg University wrestling team emerged with a 2-2 record.  The Student Princes picked up wins against Mount St. Joseph and Defiance.  

In the varsity duals, Heidelberg was led by two-pin afternoons from Dwight Parker and Jace Grossman.  

HEIDELBERG 34   MOUNT ST. JOSEPH 16

Iosef Nunez picked up a pin at 133 just before the second period ended, which gave HU a 6-3 lead.  The Lions tied the dual at 141, but forfeited the next three weights, giving a decided advantage to The Berg.  Adam Medeiros picked up a major at 184 and Jace Grossman capped the win with a pin at 285.  

ADRIAN 44   HEIDELBERG 12

In a match that featured bonus points in nine of the 10 bouts, the Bulldogs took control of the match with three pins and a tech fall in the first four matches.  Carson Pottenger and TJ Rhamy registered pins, but it was not enough to overcome the Adrian advantage.  

UW-OSHKOSH 42   HEIDELBERG 9

Dwight Parker had a first-period pin at 149 and Rhamy won a hard-fought bout at 184, picking up HU's only wins against Oshkosh.  Heidelberg was unable to stave off bonus points as Oshkosh handled the dual.  

HEIDELBERG 45  DEFIANCE 3

The Berg ended the day on a high note, dismantling Defiance by a wide margin.  A forfeit win by Harrison Hadley and a win by Brandon D'Egidio gave HU a 9-3 lead after 141.  From there, it was all 'Berg. Pottenger and Nolan Hatten won by decision while Parker, Germaine, Yearby, Jarin Curtis and Grossman all won with pins.
