SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Major decisions by Travis Berridge and Luke Wilson powered the Gold team to a 14-6 victory over the Green squad in Cal Poly wrestling's annual intrasquad meet on a warm and sunny Friday afternoon in the University Union plaza.
Berridge scored a 15-4 major decision over Ryan Anderson at 174 pounds, notching five takedowns, a two-point near fall and a reversal along with riding time.
Wilson (pictured at right), wrestling in his first match as a Mustang after battling injuries for three years, earned a 13-5 major decision against Joe Granger at 165 pounds. Wilson, a Righetti High School graduate, recorded four takedowns, a reversal and an escape plus riding time for the win.
Wilson's final takedown with seven seconds left sealed the victory.

Trailing 2-0 after two periods, Schilling earned an escape and two takedowns for a 5-3 win over Yoshito Funakoshi while Farina scored two first-period takedowns on his way to an 8-5 triumph over Curtis Booth.
