TEMPE, Ariz. -- Sophomore Daniel Bishop pinned Arizona State's Roman Rozell at 0:54 as the Augustana wrestling team fell 35-6 in its first dual of the season to national contender, and No. 8 ranked, Arizona State on Friday night in Tempe, Arizona, at Desert Financial Arena.

"I am proud of the way we competed," head coach Jason Reitmeier said. "We wrestled really hard and showed a lot of toughness against a very good team. We will grow from this experience."
 
The night started with redshirt freshman Michael Suda battling No. 24 Brandon Courtney closely in a 9-8 loss at 125 pounds. After redshirt freshman Jack Huffman lost 11-2 by major decision at 133 pounds, junior Jebben Keyes took the mat for the Vikings at 141 pounds. Keyes owned a point due to riding time advantage while trailing 4-3 and was poised to give the Vikings their first points of the day with less than a minute to go in his match. However, Arizona State's Navonte Demison recorded a late takedown and defeated Keyes 6-3. 
 
At 157 pounds, redshirt freshman Jacob Tvinnereim nearly upset Arizona State's Dillon Ulrey, but fell in a 9-7 decision. After recording major decisions at 149, 165 and 174 pounds and a fall at 184 pounds, Arizona State took a commanding 31-0 lead over Augustana.
 
The lone points for Augustana came from Daniel Bishop's fall at 0:54 over Arizona State's Roman Rozell. After the fall, Arizona State led 31-6 and finished with a major decision at 285 pounds to take the match 35-6.
