SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Spencer Empey's major decision in the final bout prevented Rutgers from scoring a shutout as the No. 14 Scarlet Knights improved to 3-0 with a 38-4 triumph over Cal Poly on Sunday afternoon in the Mott Athletics Center.
Rutgers recorded two falls, one technical fall and a trio of major decisions en toure to a 38-0 advantage before the heavyweights stepped onto the mat.
Empey (pictured at right) earned a penalty point when stalling was called on Rutgers' Razohnn Gross in the first period, notched an escape and takedown in the second period for a 4-0 lead and closed out the match with a reversal, another penalty point and riding time to even his record for the season at 3-3.
Coach Jon Sioredas' Mustangs nearly won the final two bouts. At 197, J.T. Goodwin scored two reversals in the opening period but couldn't overcome an early takedown and four-point near fall in an 8-7 loss to Matthew Correnti.
Rutgers fielded four nationally ranked wrestlers Sunday.
Anthony Ashnault, ranked No. 3 at 141 poinds, and Ken Theobold, No. 13 at 149, both won by fall while Tyson Dippery, No. 15 at 133 pounds, earned a technical fall in the first period with 14 near-fall points.
Nicholas Gravine, the 15th-ranked wrestler at 184, was an 8-0 winner for the Scarlet Knights.
Cal Poly, now 3-3 in duals after a busy first two weeks of the season, will host Army on Friday at 1 p.m. outdoors in the University Union plaza.
