Top-ranked Evansville Mater Dei notched its 12th overall wrestling state championship and second in a row Feb. 24 with a 31-18 defeat of second-ranked Mishawaka at Center Grove High School in Greenwood.
 
It was the 12th
overall state championship for Mater Dei, all of which have come under
the guidance of Mike Goebel. Goebel holds the record for the most
state titles in state history. Last year, Goebel broke the record
he previously shared with Harold F. Mumby of Bloomington High School, who won 10 titles from 1924 to 1945.
 
The Wildcats (25-0) cruised past Avon in the first round, 65-3, and were the beneficiary of falls by juniors Cody Moll, Alex Weinzapfel, and Drew Lappe to defeat fourth-ranked Indianapolis Cathedral in the semifinals, 39-20.
 
With the championship round beginning with the 160-pound class, Mater Dei reserve Stephan Lovelace pinned Kurt Caufmann, last week�s fifth-place finisher at the individual state finals,
to give the Wildcats a quick 6-0 lead. The closest Mishawaka could
get was 15-12 with a 3-1 overtime victory by 119-pound senior Nick Wiesjahn, but Mater Dei answered with a pin by 125-pound sophomore Zeke Zenthoefer to extend the lead to 21-12. 
 
Mater Deiââ?¬â?¢s 145-pound senior, Nick Dewig, sealed the state title with a 13-5 major decision in the next-to-last match of the evening. Dewig, the 145-pound individual state runner-up, finished the season with a record of 48-1.
 
It was the second runner-up finish for Mishawaka (29-1), which also lost to Mater Dei in 2000.
