BROOKINGS, S.D. -- For the first time since 2010, South Dakota State won a championship at the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open. Actually, SDSU won two. Redshirt freshman Colin Holler and senior Cody Pack both brought home Dak Open titles Sunday afternoon.

"I'm extremely proud of our guys," head coach Chris Bono said. "We fought extremely hard today for every point and had a bunch of placewinners."

Holler recorded a tech fall and major decision en route to a 4-0 day. In the title bout, the Illinois native defeated Tyler Berger (Nebraska), 3-2.

"I really tried to push the pace," Holler said. "Once I got the lead, I was able to push my pace."

Pack, a two-time NCAA qualifier, recorded a pair of tech falls on his way to his first Dak Open title after reaching the finals the previous two seasons. In the first-place match, Pack beat Arizona State's Gene Pierce, 3-1.

"It was great to finally break through in front of the home crowd," Pack said. "We aren't working to win the Dak Open, though. Everything builds towards March."

In all, SDSU had nine wrestlers reach the semis, including six who reached the finals.

Brance Simms, Nate Rotert and J.J. Everard all dropped their title bouts, while Luke Zilverberg had to pull out with a medical forfeit.

Simms fell in the championship match, 7-4, to Arizona State's Dalton Brady. In the 197-lb first-place showdown, Rotert dropped a 9-6 match to Iowa Central CC's Patrick Downey, while Everard fell 6-1 to North Dakota State's Evan Knutson.

Isaac Andrade and Joe Brewster both started 2-0 en route to the semis, while freshman David Kocer won three matches before dropping his semifinal showdown.

"I'm satisfied with our performance for the first tournament, but Jon (Reader) and I can't wait to get these guys back in the room this week. We've still got a lot of room to grow, but extremely happy for the first outing."

SDSU will return to action Nov. 8 at the Bison Open.
