MARSHALL, Mo. – After day one of the Missouri Valley College (MVC) Invitational, one of the most prestigious NAIA wrestling meets of the entire season that features numerous NAIA National Championship potential qualifiers, three Warriors from the RV Corban University Men's Wrestling team fought well enough throughout the day to qualify for the second and final day of the national preview.

In what many expected to be the biggest challenge of the season for the program, eleven Navy and Gold clad grapplers hit the mats today and wrestled up to six times in an exhausting full day of matchups in Marshall, Missouri. Only two Warriors partook in the minimum number of possible contests at the MVC Invitational, with a majority of the student-athletes from the Willamette Valley winning at least one bout today.
Redshirt junior David Rubio continued his dominant run this season with three-straight technical falls on his way to a championship semifinal matchup tomorrow, as he took a first round bye to prepare for what may have been the most dominating performance by any individual wrestler today. He'll look to continue that success and earn a tournament weight class championship tomorrow against some of the best grapplers in the NAIA for the 157-weight class.
Both of the Warriors' remaining qualifiers for the second day of action, junior Tyson Stover and senior Sven Lukner, dropped their tournament-opening bouts and had to climb their way up the consolation brackets to fight for at best a third-place finish tomorrow, needing to win four more matches apiece if they want to reverse their early fates to secure a prominent finish at the MVC Invite.
Stover posted three-consecutive pins after his first round fall in the 174-weight class, clinching a spot in day two with an 11-4 decision over fellow Cascade Collegiate Conference member and No. 18-ranked Eastern Oregon University's Wylee Lindeen. Amongst the big men atop the 285-weight class, Lukner flipped a narrow 4-2 loss by decision in the opening round with a pin, an injury default, and finally a 2-1 decision over Austin Foye from RV Central Methodist University to advance to the consolation bracket quarterfinals.
