Wrapping up their Sonoma County League dual-match season with a strong effort in their home finale, the Sonoma Valley High School varsity wrestlers broke open a close match with five straight one-sided wins, including three pins, en route to a 53-21 victory over SCL foe El Molino Wednesday night in Golton Hall.

Before hitting the mat and evening its SCL dual-match record to 3-3, Sonoma honored its four seniors, including Victor Virgen, Jorge Oros, Paul Pizano and Austin Erickson.
