The Dogs won the first five matches to build a 28-0 lead, and then won the final seven matches to make the final score 64-3.
Sean Glenz (103), Nathan Glenz (125), Jeremy Sogge (130), Jeremy Fuchs (140), Joe Hiltner (145), Josh Schreifels (152), Jason Leyendecker (189), and Brad Person (275) recorded pins for the Bulldogs.
Schreifels, at 152, took the lead in his match with a third-period near fall, and ended up pinning his opponent with 30 seconds to go.
Of the other Bulldog pins, four came in the first period and three in the second, hurrying the match along.
Adam Christian added a win by technical fall at 112, and Pat Noonan won by forfeit at 119.
In the closest individual matches, Max Meagher won a 7-3 decision at 160 and Ryan Glenz won 9-7 in overtime at 171. Meagher scored three takedowns and only allowed points only on escapes to win his match.
Glenz trailed 7-2 after yielding an escape to start the third period, but he scored a takedown and three-point near fall to tie the score at 7-7. Then he won with another takedown in overtime.
About the only blemish for the Bulldogs was losing a team point due to penalty.
The victory raised the Bulldogs' season record to 5-1. The Bulldogs are now 3-0 in conference dual meets, with only contests against Melrose and Sauk Centre remaining.
The Bulldogs do not have a meet until January. Their first meet after the holiday will be at Big Lake on Thursday, Jan. 4. The Hornets are rated ninth in Class AA.

State rankings
The Bulldogs started the season ranked #1 in Class A by the Guillotine, but have dropped to third on account of their loss to Foley at their season-opening tournament. Frazee is now first, with Bertha-Hewitt/Verndale second.
