Ada, Ohio - The Alma College wrestling team continued its success in the early part of the 2015-16 campaign, placing second at the ONU Invitational, hosted by Ohio Northern University. Four Scots made it to the finals of their respective weight classes, including senior Shawn Brewer (New Boston, Mich./Huron), who captured the 157-pound weight class.

The Scots entered 19 wrestlers and came out with eight placing within the top eight of their respected weight classes. Along with Alma College, there were numerous teams from NCAA Division III, Division II, and the NAIA competing in the tournament. The Scots finished second only to Campbellsville College (Ky.), a NAIA school. 

Brewer, who was 4-0 on the day, was seeded third in the weight class prior to the tournament. His road to the championship included a 12-1 victory in his first match, followed by a 4-1 decision in his second. Brewer's semifinal match against the second seed in his weight went into six overtimes, where he eventually won by a 3-2 decision. In the championship bout, Brewer won by a decision of 19-13. 

In addition to Brewer, a trip of Scots made it to the finals of their weight classes. Sophomore Travis Heller (Escanaba, Mich./Escanaba) (2nd at 174), senior Trevor Maresh (Northville, Mich./Northville) (2nd at 285), and freshman Romeo Riley (Kalamazoo, Mich./Kalamazoo Central) (2nd at 141) eventually fell to opponents from Division II and the NAIA.

Also placing for the Scots were junior Chance Smith (Hamilton, Mich./Hamilton) (8th at 197), sophomore Taylor McPhail (Muskegon, Mich./Mona Shores) (7th at 174), junior Trent Hullet (Jackson, Mich./Parma Western) (5th at 184), and senior Jamie Jakes (Dearborn, Mich./Divine Child) (3rd at 197). 

The Scots take the mat again on Thursday, Dec. 10, hosting Heidelberg College at Art Smith Arena. The feature matches begin at 7:00 p.m. 

QUOTES

Head Coach Todd Hibbs

"We got what we signed up for today with some great competition wrestling against some All-Americans and national qualifiers. That's why we come to tournaments like this - to test ourselves. We wrestled pretty well today and had four finalists for the first time ever at this event. I would have liked to win more of those matches, but again, we were wrestling against All-Americans and national qualifiers and it was a good test. Overall, it was a solid performance and we will keep trying to get better with the big goals we have for the end of the season."
