GENEVA – The Geneva wrestling team used four pins, three major decisions and three South Elgin forfeits Friday to cruise to a 54-19 win during Upstate Eight Conference crossover action.

“I thought we did a nice job,” Vikings coach Tom Chernich said after his team moved to 16-7 in duals this season while the Storm fell to 5-8. “Our kids wrestled tough, wrestled aggressive, so that is good.”

After a pair of Storm forfeits, the first match to be contested on the mat, at 120 pounds, was dominated by Geneva’s Brad Martens, who posted a 15-1 major victory over Mike Perez.
