SANTA ANA, Calif. – In its first home dual of the season, the No. 12 ranked Santa Ana wrestling team took on the No. 5 Palomar Comets on Tuesday night.
The dual started with an exhibition between Santa Ana's Samuel Galdamez-Valle and Palomar's Miguel Diaz. Galdamez-Valle earned the victory with a technical fall with 2:21 left on the clock in his only chance to compete, as the Comets forfeited in the 125 pound division in which he was slotted to wrestle in.
With a forfeit in the 125 pound class, the Dons picked up six points but gave it right back with their own forfeit in the 133 spot.
Next, Joshua Fuentes - Norikiyo dominated against Palomar's Erick Marquez in the 141 pound match, giving the Dons a 12-6 lead with a technical fall.
