CIS wrestling championships: Brock dominates opening day
FREDERICTON (CIS) – The Brock University Badgers have a golden opportunity to do what they couldn’t accomplish a year ago: win both CIS wrestling team titles.
CHAMPIONSHIP WEBSITE: http://english.cis-sic.ca/
After the first of two days of competition at the Richard J. Currie Center in Fredericton, the Brock women and men both dominate the team standings by comfortable 11-point margins and have a chance at a combined 12 medals on Saturday.
On the women’s side, the reigning two-time national champion Badgers have already secured 43 points and lead Calgary (32) and Western (31) in their push for a three-peat, with defending 67-kilogram bronze medallist Marissa Sorrell leading the charge with pins in each of her three matches.
Teammate Jade Parsons is in contention for her third straight 48 kg gold and in tomorrow’s title bout will face Madison Parks of Western, the 2012 champion at 51 kg. Parsons beat Parks in the OUA final two weeks ago.
Another Brock star, Carlene Sluberski, will be looking for her second CIS gold in two years. After winning the 55 kg title last season, she will battle Calgary’s Kate Richey for the 51 kg crown this time around.
Jessica Brouillette (59 kg) and Olivia DiBacco (72 kg) round out the list of Badgers who will wrestle in title matches.
Concordia’s Linda Morais also has a shot at defending her gold medal from 2013, at 63 kg, and will take on Western’s Larissa D’Alleva. Her teammate Veronica Keefe will meet DiBacco in the 72 kg final.
In men’s action, Brock amassed an impressive 56 points on Friday to build a comfortable cushion over reigning national champion Alberta (45) and Guelph (42).
No less than six Badgers will fight for gold on Saturday, including Sam Jagas (54 kg), Brian Cowan (57 kg), Jason Balfour (68 kg), Tyler Bowe (72 kg), Matrixx Ferreira (82 kg) and Andrii Vorontsov (90 kg).
Balfour is the defending champ at 68 kg, while Matrixx prevailed in the 76 kg division last season.
Jagas and Cowan will both face Alberta wrestlers tomorrow in Melvin Arciaga and Dylan Williams.
