FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Four of the top-five wrestling teams in the NAIA will battle it out Saturday for the NWCA National Duals title after the first two rounds played out as expected Friday at Memorial Coliseum.

Second-ranked Southern Oregon University took care of business in the first round against Cumberland (Tenn.) with a 40-9 win, then was almost as dominant in a 32-9 win over Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) in the quarterfinals.

The Raiders, now 7-1 in dual meets this season, have an 11 a.m. Eastern Time date with fourth-ranked Campbellsville (Ky.) in the semifinals. Campbellsville advanced by defeating Bethany (Kan.), 26-18, and Midland (Neb.), 25-22.

Top-ranked Grand View (Iowa) and fifth-ranked Great Falls (Mont.) will meet in the other semifinal. Grand View is the three-time defending champ, and SOU is seeking its first National Duals title since 2009.

The Raiders grabbed a quick 16-0 lead against Cumberland as 125-pounder Casey Coulter (Grants Pass, Ore./Grants Pass) won by forfeit, 133-pounder Devin Poppen (Oregon City, Ore./Oregon City) pinned Robbie Resendiz in 37 seconds and Trevor Hancock (Pendleton, Ore./Pendleton) scored a 12-4 major decision over Austin Meyn at 141.

After a loss at 149, 157-pounder Dalton Urrutia (Lebanon, Ore./Lebanon) got the Raiders back on track with another pin. Brock Crocker (Sweet Home, Ore./Sweet Home) and Reed Tennyson (Dillingham, Alaska/Dillingham) followed with tight decisions at 165 and 174, respectively, and Ryan McWatters (Hesperia, Calif./Sultana) and Clayton Burtis (Colton, Ore./Colton) rounded out the lineup with pins. McWatters wrapped up his fall with 11 seconds to spare in the 197-pound match, and Burtis ended the heavyweight bout in 59 seconds.

Poppen, 174-pounder Brock Gutches (Central Point, Ore./Crater) and 197-pounder Taylor Johnson (Redmond, Ore./Redmond) notched wins by fall in the win over Embry-Riddle. Between the three of them, they are now 18-2 with nine pins and four other bonus-point wins in dual action.

Dalton Urrutia (Lebanon, Ore./Lebanon) and Burtis added major decisions for the Raiders, while Tyler Cowger (Sweet Home, Ore./Sweet Home) and Garrett Urrutia (Lebanon, Ore./Lebanon) both won by decision.

Saturday's championship dual is scheduled for a 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time start. The semifinal losers will clash for third place at 1 p.m.
