SCORESHEET
Â
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Graduate student Adam Kemp and redshirt sophomore Chance Lamer both remained undefeated in duals this season, but Cal Poly wrestling suffered a 21-12 defeat at No. 20 Little Rock on Saturday.
Â
The 23rd-ranked Mustangs (5-3, 1-2 Pac-12) won three bouts in the dual.
Â
Redshirt freshman Dom Mendez, ranked 30th in the country at 125 pounds, helped the team jump out to an early 3-0 lead thanks to a 10-5 decision over Little Rock's Jeremiah Reno.
Â
Chance gave Cal Poly a 9-6 advantage with a victory by injury default at 149 pounds. Chance, ranked No. 5 in the nation in his weight class, was winning his match 14-8 in the third period before his opponent was forced to retire due to injury. He improved to 14-1 overall and 8-0 in duals this season with the win.
Â
In his first action on the mat since placing eighth at the Ken Kraft Midlands Championships on Dec. 30, Kemp, No. 10 in the country, defeated No. 24 Tyler Brennan by a 3-2 decision at 174 pounds to even the dual at 12-12 with three matches remaining. Kemp earned a takedown in the third period to secure the win and move to 12-3 on the season and 3-0 in duals.
Â
Little Rock (12-5, 3-1 Pac-12) won the last three bouts to take the dual victory.
Â
Zeth Romney (133 pounds), Abe Hinrichsen (141), Legend Lamer (157), Michael Goldfeder (165) and Jarad Priest (197) all fell to opponents ranked higher than them.

Â
