No. 19 CMU takes brief lead, eventually falls to No. 8 Michigan

Nazareth, Pennsylvania senior Zach Horan heads against his Missouri opponent at Central Michigan's wrestling match in McGurick Arena, Sunday, January 17, 2016.

Central Michigan wrestling lead 12-9 after seven matches Friday night in Ann Arbor, but three consecutive losses boosted eighth-ranked Michigan to a 22-12 victory over the 19th-ranked Chippewas.

In front of a sold out Cliff Keen Arena crowd (1,800 capacity), CMU missed out on another opportunity to knock off a top 10-ranked team in a dual meet.

CMU is five days removed from a 26-9 defeat from the cream of the Mid-American Conference crop, unbeaten (9-0) No.
