La Grande, Ore.- (Release from Eastern Oregon University Athletics) The Mountaineers were back in action for the first time in 2023 and picked up right where they left off. EOU took on Grays Harbor College and ultimately came out victorious, winning the dual 33-19 behind four Mountie pins.
Eastern Oregon came out hot as Adrian Guevara set the tone winning by pin at the 2:54 mark of the match. Eastern dropped the 133-pound match but bounced back in a big way as Travis Sherman of the 141-pound division won handily by pin at the 2:47 mark of the match.
