LARAMIE, Wyoming - Utah Valley State wrestler Rodney Sager rolled through the competition on Sunday, winning the 20 & Under division of the Cowboy Open at 133 lbs. Sager, who is redshirting this year, wrestled unattached and went 5-0 on the day, beating Nick Mammeliz of Western Wyoming 7-5 in the final.

The win by Sager shows the depth the Wolverines have at 133 lbs. after Senior Erkin Tadzhimetov won the Cyclone Open in Fort Dodge, Iowa on Saturday.

Three other Wolverines also competed unattached in the event. Sophomore Devin Siddoway went 2-2 in the open division while freshmen Kyle Burnett and Nick Swenson went 1-2 and 0-1, respectively. Both Burnett and Swenson wrestled in the 20 & under division.

Utah Valley State will travel to Greeley, Colorado for the Old Chicago/Northern Colorado Open this Saturday. Their first home dual of the season will be December 10th against Western State.
