The Albert Lea wrestling team rested some starters Thursday against John Marshall in Rochester and still rolled to a 64-9 victory.

The Tigers (13-10) got their sixth consecutive victory with some starters in order to avoid match count issues and those filling in performed well.

“We had an opportunity to wrestle a lot of guys that haven’t had a lot of varsity experience,” said Albert Lea assistant coach Neal Skaar.

The Tigers head to Northfield Saturday for the Northfield Invitational.
