Redshirt freshman P.T. Garcia recorded four pins on his way to an individual title in the Cowboys’ season opener Sunday at the Northern Colorado Open. Fellow redshirt freshman Branson Ashworth (149 pounds) and Sam Eagan (heavyweight) also won individual titles.
“We looked pretty sloppy, but that wasn’t a surprise, it was a mixed bag and it was a great tournament to learn from,” UW head coach Mark Branch said. “We had a lot of positives and I thought P.T. (Garcia), Branson (Ashworth) and Sam (Eagan) wrestled very well. We had some situations where I think we could be more aggressive and we need to put more pressure on our opponents.
