The No. 16 Cal Poly wrestling team edged Arizona State 20-18 in a Pac-10 dual meet on Friday in Mott Gym.

Technical falls by Ryan Smith and Filip Novachkov, and a major decision by Chase Pami gave the Mustangs (7-3, 4-1) just enough bonus points to pick up the win.

Both teams won five matches with Cal Poly forfeiting the 125-pound bout.
