SOU rolls over Embry PRESCOTT, Ariz. � Southern Oregon University wrestling coach Mike Ritchey expected a tough battle with Embry-Riddle on Saturday night. But Ritchey�s Raiders took command from the opening whistle and rolled to a 36-6 victory, improving their season record to 4-1. Ryan Schumann (184) and Devin Cole (285) registered falls, Zachary Mock posted a technical fall and John Sills scored a big victory over Embry-Riddle�s Brian Campbell at 165 pounds as SOU won eight of the 10 matches. Sills ran roughshod over Campbell, the No. 2-ranked NAIA wrestler at 174, with Campbell ultimately getting disqualified after getting called for stalling five times. "Sills had him so tired the kid couldn�t wrestle anymore," Ritchey said. "He (Campbell) was hanging on to John�s ankle and wouldn�t move up. He basically disqualified himself." Schumann�s fall came over Eric Ortegren, who is ranked No. 4 at 184. Schumann is ranked No. 7. "Schumann turned him with his legs and pinned him with a double grapevine," Ritchey said. "It was good to finish the first half of the season on a positive note. Now we can come back after Christmas and keep the momentum going."
