CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - Tom Borrelli has had better days.

The Central Michigan wrestling coach watched his team stumble on several fronts Saturday on Day 1 of the Mid-American Conference Championships at Northern Iowa's McLeod Center.

Just one Chippewa, junior 157-pounder Colin Heffernan, survived the day unscathed and is scheduled to wrestle Joey Lavallee of Missouri for a league title on Sunday.

"We picked a bad day, first day of the MAC tournament, to probably wrestle as poorly as we've wrestled all year," Borrelli said.
