Cleveland, OH - The Woodling Gymnasium on the campus of Cleveland State University played host to the fourth annual CSU Open on Sunday (12/14), which included 250 wrestlers overall. The open was the Vikings first home action of the season.

"It was a great day of wrestling, we had seven mats of continuous action all day," head coach Ben Stehura said. "Our fans got a chance to see quality wrestlers from the eastern part of the country.

Dan Castillo posted a solid 3-2 record leading the way for the Vikings. After a first round loss, Castillo battled back to win his next three matches, two of which by major decision.

"These open tournaments give our younger guys a great opportunity for live wrestling, " head coach Ben Stehura said. "We've had a tough week with finals, but we stayed focused and when it was time to wrestle we performed well."
