The Austin boys' wrestling team took one of two duals at the Faribault triangular Thursday night, knocking off the host Falcons for only the fourth time in the last 29 years.
Austin posted a 41-31 win on Faribault despite surrendering six points to a forfeit at 135 pounds. The Packers won five of their eight matches by fall, including first-period pins by Nick Zrucky (145) and Josh Solberg (171).
The Farmington Tigers took a two-point victory over Austin, 41-39, after Austin heavyweight Matt Day was pinned with only four seconds remaining in the second period.
Farmington scored 17 team points in the final three matches.
Five of Austin's six victories against Farmington were by fall, highlighted by a first-period pin in the opening match. Danny Rysavy scored six for the Packers in 1:49.
T.J. Parlin, at 130, and Rysavy (103) moved their records to 7-0 on the season. Nate Granahan played a key role with his 2-0 night, while Andy Graham and Solberg were all undefeated.
Solberg is 6-1 on the year.
The Packers wrestle at the Blue Earth Area Tournament this Saturday at 10 a.m.
