Stephens Wins at Lindenwood Open
         Zach Stephens (St. Charles, Mo.) won the 174-pound weight class at the Lindenwood Open, giving SIUE its lone championship at last Saturday’s Lindenwood Open.
         Omari Johnson (Chicago) placed fourth for the Cougars at 165 pounds. Heavyweight Aaron Wiens (Cicero) and 157-pounder Nathan Graumenz (Vandalia) lost in the consolation semifinals.
         “Everyone won a match except for one wrestler,” said SIUE Coach Booker Benford. “They got a taste of victory.”
         Benford said he was happy with the team’s performance but wanted to see more intensity and focus.
         “Guys still aren’t staying intense for the full seven minutes,” said Benford.
