LARAMIE — In an effort to generate excitement for Saturday's dual at the Arena-Auditorium, Wyoming junior Branson Ashworth tweeted earlier in the week, "If you’re not in the dome Saturday night you’re missing out!! BONUS POINTS WILL BE SCORED!"
Ashworth was true to his word. Wyoming wrestling defeated Big 12 foe Fresno State 40-6, earning bonus points in seven matches. Wyoming hadn't scored 40 points in a dual since 2013-14.
Drake Foster (125 pounds), Montorie Bridges (133) and Bryce Meredith began the dual with three straight pins. Archie Colgan won by technical fall, Ashworth won by major decision, Kyle Pope recorded a pin, and Luke Paine won by major decision.
