STOUGHTON – The Marshfield wrestling team went 3-2 and finished second at the Pieper Duals on Saturday at Stoughton High School.
Marshfield lost to Evansville 39-36 and Stoughton 55-12, and beat Madison La Follette 58-15, Fennimore 35-30, and Athens 48-24.
Freshman Gabe Pugh went undefeated in his varsity debut at 113 pounds for the Tigers, going a perfect 5-0 with two pins, a major decision, and a forfeit.
Sam Mitchell also went unbeaten for Marshfield, winning all five of his matches at 195 and 220 pounds. The state qualifier from a year ago had a pin, a technical fall, and a major decision.
Bentley Schwanebeck-Ostermann (170), Alex Brost (220), and Payton Young (160) each were 4-1 for the Tigers.
“Overall it was a good tournament for the Tigers,” Marshfield coach Jackson Hein said. “After losing the first two dual meets I was happy to see our wrestlers respond in a positive way and make some adjustments to finish the day strong. The biggest team win came against Fennimore (2017 Division 3 team state runner-ups). This dual was a great win for the team, everyone went out and battled for six hard minutes, regardless if they won or lost.”
Stoughton went undefeated to win the team title at its home tournament.
Marshfield hosts a triangular dual meet on Thursday against Antigo and Sparta.
