MOUNT PLEASANT - The Central Michigan University wrestling team (2-2, 0-0 Mid-American) shut out Princeton on Sunday afternoon in Rose Arena, 46-0.
The Chippewas recorded two falls, two technical falls, and six major decisions in the victory. CMU's wrestlers recorded 52 takedowns in the match and did not allow Princeton's wrestlers to score an offensive point.

CMU's Bill Stouffer (Lowell/Jr.), ranked 12th in the nation, got CMU off to a solid start with a second period fall at heavyweight.

At 125,CMU's Kyle Stoffer (Olmsted Falls, Ohio/So.) recorded five takedowns as he rolled to a major decision over Kenny Chu, 12-3.
Seventh-ranked Jordan Webster (Washington, Ill./Sr.) extended Central's lead to 14 at 133 with a major decision over Brian Kirschbaum, 14-6. Webster continued the CMU's takedown barrage with six of his own and he also got a reversal to begin the second period.
CMU's Jason Mester (Mineral Point, Wis/Sr.) continued CMU's dominance with six takedowns in his major decision victory over Bill Trudell, 17-4. At 149, Andy Keller (Rogers City/Fr.) recorded CMU's second pin of the dual. Keller took down Princeton's Matthew Piselli straight to his back for the pin at 1:54.
At 157, CMU continued to dominate the Tigers when the wrestlers were in the neutral position with Ty Morgan (Huber Heights, Ohio/Sr.) notching seven takedowns in a major decision victory over Charlie Wiggins, 16-7. CMU's David Bolyard (Akron, Ohio/Jr.) dominated Princeton's Matthew DeNichilo at 165. Bolyard earned a technical fall with 16 seconds left in the match, 20-5. He got seven takedowns, two two-point nearfalls and a reversal to get the victory.
The takedowns kept coming at 174 as Mitch Hancock (Royal Oak/Jr.) scored seven in his major decision victory over Matt DeNichilo, 17-6. At 184, Matt McCartney (Roseville/So.) saw his first action in the CMU starting line-up. McCartney earned CMU's sixth major decision of the dual over Allen Sista, 13-5. McCartney recorded five takedowns in the victory. The last match of the dual was a 197 where 14th-ranked Joe Yager (Fulton/Sr.) of CMU took on Matt Hawrilenko. Yager completed the shutout with the second technical fall of the dual for the Chippewas, 21-6. Yager recorded seven takedowns, a two-point nearfall, a three-point nearfall and a reversal to earn the victory.
