ASHLAND –
The top-ranked Southern Oregon wrestling team hosted the annual SOU Open Saturday and Sunday, with three SOU wrestlers coming away with individual championships.

Top-ranked Mitchell Lofstedt (Roseburg, Ore./Roseburg) dominated the 125-pound bracket for the Raiders, winning all three of his matches by fall in a total of less than four minutes.

Jimmy Eggemeyer (Kodiak, Alaska/Kodiak), ranked No. 1 in the 149-pound class but wrestling in the 157 bracket, won all three of his matches to claim the title for the Raiders. He picked up a pair of injury default victories and a 5-1 decision victory en route to the 157-pound championship.

Eighth-ranked Taylor Johnson (Redmond, Ore./Redmond), wrestling unattached, won the 197-pound bracket. He earned a first-round bye and earned a pin en route to the final match, where he won the title.

The Raiders are 1-0 in duals this season, defeating No. 8 Great Falls 23-17 on Friday at Bob Riehm Arena. Southern Oregon will have a break from competition for the next week, returning to action with a home dual against No. 15 Menlo on Nov. 27 at 7 p.m.
