ST. LOUIS — The wrestling duo of Trever Begin and Luke McGonigal had their seasons come to an end on day one of the NCAA Championship Friday afternoon.
In his opener, Begin came up just short in 3-1 decision to William Pitzner of St. Cloud State. The draw wasn’t any easier for Begin as he faced third-seeded Aiden Pasiuk from Ashland and dropped an 11-5 decision.
At 197 pounds, McGonigal, a junior, fell in his opening match 9-3 to Bryce Walker of UNC-Pembroke. After a bye in the first round of consolations, McGonigal lost by fall at the 5:00 mark to sixth seeded Donald Negas of Colorado Mesa.
