COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Air Force won the first three matches and secured falls in three of the last four bouts en route to a 29-14 victory over Cal Poly in a non-conference dual wrestling meet Sunday afternoon.

Trailing 11-0, Cal Poly won three straight matches by decision to pull to within 11-9 before the host Falcons pulled away down the stretch.

Joshy Cortez earned a 6-2 decision at 149 pounds, Brawley Lamer was an 8-5 winner at 157 and Bernie Truax secured a 3-0 decision at 165 for Cal Poly.

The Mustangs' lone win in the final four bouts was by No. 12-ranked Tom Lane at 197 pounds with a 16-1 technical fall.

Cortez scored a takedown in the first period, an escape and takedown in the second period and earned a point for riding time advantage for his victory.

Lamer jumped to a 6-0 lead in the first period with a takedown and four-point near-fall and added escapes in the first and third periods for his win.

Truax needed just a takedown in the first period and an escape in the second period for his shutout.

Lane (pictured above) improved to 15-3 on the year with his technical fall in 5 minutes, 51 seconds. The senior and two-time national qualifier notched a takedown in the opening period, a takedown, four-point near fall and two-point near fall in the second period and another four-point near fall and takedown in the final period for the lopsided victory.

Cal Poly (3-4) closes out its dual meet schedule with three Pac-12 duals, hosting CSU Bakersfield on Friday night and Arizona State on Saturday night, both matches beginning at 7 p.m., and visiting Oregon State on Feb. 22.
