The UU was hopping on Friday afternoon. By Owen Main

Facing a sizeable deficit in Friday afternoon’s outdoor dual meet with Northern Colorado, the Cal Poly wrestling team fell just short, losing the dual meet 23-22.

The match was seen by hundreds of students and spectators who lined the University Union steps to watch. Cheerleaders and the pep band also provided an environment that everyday wrestling fans might not be as accustomed to.

The meet was just the second ever outdoor meet for the Cal Poly program, having wrestled under the sun last season against Oregon State.

With the loss to Northern Colorado, the Mustangs fell to 0-4 in dual meets this season.

Cal Poly will once again host an outdoor meet on January 29 against Cal State Bakersfield, also in the UU.
