Panther Grapplers Open at Indian Hills

CENTERVILLE, IOWA -- The Ellsworth CC wrestling team helped Indian Hills CC begin its home schedule on Friday night in the Multipurpose Building.  The hosts, in their first season of wrestling competition, defeated the Panthers, 38-4.

The lone win for ECC came from Justin Henry, who defeated Ramiro Mosquera, 15-4, for a major decision at 164 pounds.  

Indian Hills won the first five bouts and, then, after Henry's dominating performance for Ellsworth, they took the final four matches.  ECC had a couple of tough losses -- Nate Lendt's 8-6 defeat at 149 and Christian Sanchez's 4-1 loss at 285 in the finale.

The Panthers will have their first home dual meet next Wednesday against Iowa Lakes CC in Dittmer Gymnasium.
