BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Navy won 13 of 20 matches to cruise to two dual-meet victories over Cal State-Bakersfield and UC-Davis on Saturday to wrap up its West-Coast roadtrip with a 3-0 mark. The Mids defeated Cal State-Bakersfield, 30-13, in the opener, then followed with a 23-13 triumph over UC-Davis. John Cox, Adam Brochetti and Tanner Garrett all won each of their three matches, and Matt Gulosh got a key victory against UC-Davis, filling in at 165 pounds.

"It feels good to be 3-0. We beat some decent teams this weekend, and put the kids in a difficult position with the long flight and the jet lag, but I thought we battled very hard today," said Navy head coach Bruce Burnett.

In the first dual against Cal State-Bakersfield, Navy jumped out to a 13-4 lead, thanks to a Brad Canterbury fall at 133 pounds, John Cox's 6-4 win over 12th-ranked Anthony Baza and Adam Brochetti's major-decision win over Daniel Atondo. The Roadrunners battled back at 165 and 174 to tie the score at 13 each, but Navy won the last four matches, including two by major decision, one by fall and the other in overtime to come away with the win.

In the second dual, a 23-13 win over UC-Davis, Navy rallied from a 6-0 deficit after two matches, by winning the next five matches to take a commanding 17-6 lead with just three weights to wrestle. During the run, John Cox scored his 10th career technical fall and Matt Gulosh filled in for an injured Craig Dziewiatkowski by wrestling up two weight classes and winning at 165 pounds. Tanner Garrett sealed the deal with a pin at heavyweight in 6:12.

"I thought Matt Gulosh wrestled really well, moving up two weights," said Burnett. "Our older guys wrestled well, and our younger guys gained valuable experience. We competed hard and that is what we need to do. We made a few technical mistakes, but those are mistakes that can be fixed. We'll get back to practice and work on those mistakes."

Navy will host the eight-team Navy Classic next Saturday at Halsey Field House, beginning at 9:00 a.m.
