Duke Wrestling to Host Blue/White Match Saturday in K-Ville

http://goduke.us/2eAyCHT


October 27, 2016


DURHAM, N.C.—With one week left until the 2016-17 officially gets underway, the Duke wrestling team will roll out the mat to Krzyzewskiville Saturday, Oct. 29 for its annual Blue/White intrasquad event. The match is free and open to the public as the set of nine duals will determine the starting lineup for the upcoming season.


For the first time in program history, the intrasquad matches will take place outside on the lawn in K-Ville and will begin at 11 a.m. This will be the final tune-up for the Blue Devils before heading to the Hokie Open Nov. 6.


Beginning his fifth season as the head coach, Glen Lanham welcomes back five starters to the lineup and four NCAA qualifiers. For the first time in program history, Lanham is fielding a veteran squad. Duke’s roster is comprised of 15 upperclassmen, including seven seniors. The five upperclassmen starters are a first for Lanham.


Leading the Blue Devils as captains in 2016-17 will be veterans Jacob Kasper, Jake Faust and Zach Finesilver. All have seen action at the NCAA Championships during their careers and are exceptional leaders on and off the mat.


Duke is set to wrestle five preseason top-20 teams, two of which come in the month of November. The Blue Devils will be looking for the Duke fans to come out in force for their home opener against No. 13 Wisconsin. It will be the ninth different Big Ten opponent Duke has faced under Lanham. The Blue

Devils defeated No. 23 Purdue on the road last season and lost on criteria to Northwestern.


The Blue Devils finished fifth in the ACC Championships last year and tied for 31st at the NCAA Championships. Lanham has sent at least four wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in each of the past two seasons, a first for the program.

Black Team Picks Up Victory in Intrasquad Dual

October 29, 2016


DURHAM, N.C.—The Duke wrestlers donning the black singlets came away with the 30-9 win over the blue squad today in the annual Blue/White intrasquad match to help determine the starting lineup for the Blue Devils heading into the 2016-17 season.


The Black team picked up falls from Missouri transfer Cole Baumgartner at 133 pounds and Xavi Ramos at 149. The Blue team benefitted from a pin by returning NCAA qualifier Zach Finesilver at 141.


Senior Thayer Atkins put the Black singlet team up 3-0 early in a close match with Josh Copeland at 125. Atkins, behind early, used a strong third period to record the win.


Baumgartner controlled the match early and was able to get freshman Parker Walton on his back with 1:09 left in the third period for the six points. At 141, Finesilver pulled the Blue squad back within three with a first-period pin against Brandon Leynaud who wrestled at 133 a year ago.


Ramos, up to 149 from 133 last season, cruised to the pin in his match and freshman Garrett Neff scored four more points for the Black team to extend the lead to 13, 19-6, midway through the dual.


After wrestling two seasons at 157, Connor Bass will make the jump to 174 for the Blue Devils. In a tightly contested match with Alec Schenk, Bass edged the Ohio native for the decision.


Tyler Patrick grabbed three more points for Black, edging redshirt freshman Araad Sarrami at 184. Patrick took advantage of an early lead and was able to hold off a late shot from Sarrami for the decision.


The Black team concluded the afternoon with victories from Alex Belaia-Martiniouk at 197 and Jacob Kasper at heavyweight. Belaia-Martiniouk and rookie Roman Romero had an exciting match with a lot of movement, but it was the veteran that came through with the 7-5 decision.


Making the big jump from 184 to heavyweight, Kasper struck early and often in his match to score the 15-0 victory to conclude the day.


Zach Finesilver also wrestled in another match against Colten Thomas before the match was halted to injury.


The day concluded with an exhibition match between 165-pounders Jake Faust and Mitch Finesilver, who is redshirting this season. Both NCAA qualifiers, Faust came away with the decision in the tightly-contested bout.

FIGHTING ILLINI WRESTLING


Richards, Brunson Set for All-Star Classic

Exhibition begins at 6 p.m. CT Saturday


CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Fighting Illini wrestling seniors Zane Richards (133 pounds) and Zac Brunson (174 pounds) travel to Cleveland, Ohio this weekend for the 51st annual National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Classic, held on Saturday, November 5 at 6 p.m. central time. Richards will wrestle Nebraska’s Eric Montoya, while Brunson is matched against Ethan Ramos of North Carolina.


Richards is returning for his senior season after becoming one of the best in his weight class as a junior. The Carbondale, Illinois native began the season with 23 consecutive wins on his way to his first All-America honor and a runner-up finish. The 2016 Big Ten runner-up at 133 pounds, Richards touted a 9-0 dual record and was second on the team with 71 dual points. With 82 career wins, Richards is only 11 victories shy of moving into Illinois' top-25 career win list.


Brunson enters his senior season after going 22-5 as a junior in 2015-16 and placing runner-up at Big Ten Championships. The 174-poudner began the season with a 14-0 record before suffering an injury that sidelined him for the first half of the Big Ten season. Leading the team with 11 falls last season, Brunson had his most memorable one in the Big Ten semifinal when he pinned No. 6 Alex Meyer in 2:00. Brunson went 2-2 at NCAA Championships. Brunson begins the 2016-17 season ranked No. 8 by WIN Magazine.


The Eugene, Oregon native joins teammate Richards to become the 20th and 21st Illinois wrestlers to be invited to the event. The previous 18 Illini to wrestle in the event have combined for a 10-8 record with the most recent appearances coming in 2012 when the trio of Jesse Delgado (125), B.J. Futrell (141) and Jordan Blanton (174) represented the Orange and Blue. This is the second straight year that an Illini wrestler has been selected, as Isaiah Martinez was invited last season, but did not compete.


The exhibition has served as the kickoff to the collegiate wrestling season since 2004, and highlights some of the top wrestlers in the country. The event will be broadcasted live on FloWrestling.com through the use of a subscription. To purchase tickets for the event, visit http://www.goallstarclassic.com/tickets.

THIS WEEK: The Air Force wrestling team will take to the mats for the first time this season in the Cowboy Open, on Saturday, Nov. 5, hosted by Wyoming in War Memorial Fieldhouse, Laramie, WY. Wrestling in amateur and elite brackets starts at 9:00 a.m., and will continue all day until the conclusion of the final bout. Live stats will be provided by Track Wrestling and FloWrestling. Fans can access the live stats by going to GoAirForceFalcons.com and clicking the live stats link in the schedule dropdown.


LAST TIME AT THE COWBOY OPEN: The Falcons concluded last year’s cowboy open with 10 top-four place winners in 10 weight classes. Then-team captain Josh Martinez went undefeated on the day to earn a first place finish in the 133 class and earning the event’s Outstanding Wrestler honors.


Of last year’s 10 place winners, Air Force returns six to this season’s open; Alex Lopouchanksi, Jerry McGinty, Parker Hines, Anthony McHugh, Anthony McLaughlin and Connor Hedash.


NEXT WEEK: The Falcons will host the annual Black and Blue intrasquad dual at Clune Arena, USAFA, Wednesday, Nov. 9, at 6:30 p.m. The Black and Blue dual will determine which wrestlers will make up the starting lineup for the 2016-17 season.


On Nov. 13, Air Force will send a contingency of wrestlers to the Greeley, Colo., to battle for titles in the Northern Colorado Open hosted by Big 12 wrestling conference foe, University of Northern Colorado. Bouts will start at 9:00 a.m.


WELCOME BACK: Air Force wrestling returns two NCAA qualifiers, two Big 12 Championships place winners, six dual meet starters, 12 letter winners and 30 total teammates from last season. Junior 125-pounder Drew Romero punched his first ticket to the NCAA tournament last season in the wake of his seventh place fininsh at the Big 12 tournament. Dylan Hyder was a 2012 national qualifier in the 133 class following his title in the NCAA West Regional championships. Big 12 Championship sixth-place finisher Michael Billingsley also returns to the Falcon ranks at 174 pounds.


The Falcons will likely see some familiar faces in this year’s dual meet squad as six wrestlers from last year’s starters are chasing top spots. Drew Romero (125), Dylan Hyder (133), Jerry McGinty (149), Alex Lopouchanski (165), Anthony McLaughlin (197) and Parker Hines (197) claimed the majority of last season’s starts.

Anthony Ashnault Set To Compete at 51st Annual NWCA All-Star Classic

Senior 157-pounder Richie Lewis to partake in NWCA All-Star Classic Showcase Match

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Nov. 3, 2016)— Redshirt junior 141-pounder Anthony Ashnault is set to compete in the 51st Annual National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) All-Star Classic this Saturday in Cleveland, Ohio. The two-time All-American will face off against 2016 NCAA runner-up Bryce Meredith of Wyoming.

Ashnault is the first Rutgers wrestler to compete at the event and has compiled a 61-12 record over his first two seasons in the Scarlet Knight lineup. Last season, the South Plainfield, New Jersey, native finished fourth at the NCAA Championships at Madison Square Garden, tying the second-highest finish for an RU wrestler in program history.

Meredith and Ashnault have never faced off on the mat. The Cowboy posted a 29-5 record last season before falling to top-seeded Dean Heil of Oklahoma State, 3-2, in the championship bout. Meredith captured the 32nd All-America finish in Wyoming history.

In addition to Ashnault competing in the classic, senior 157-pounder Richie Lewis is slated to wrestle Joey LaVellee from Missouri in a showcase match prior to the main event.

LaVallee is ranked No. 11 by Intermat to begin the season and has qualified for the last two NCAA Championships. Lewis, an NCAA qualifier, is No. 6 in the country at 157 pounds to start the year. The two have never wrestled against each other.

Raising The Bar - Again: Tech opens the 2016-17 season tomorrow at Cassell

BLACKSBURG -- For the past several seasons, the Virginia Tech wrestling program invested its time and work into “raising the bar” – a team motto that has morphed into the program’s identity.
After three straight top-10 finishes at the NCAA Wrestling Championships, the program reached new heights this past March when the Hokies made it to the podium at Madison Square Garden in New York City, coming in fourth place. The finish marked the program’s best and the best ever by an ACC team.

To raise the bar this season means finishing in the top three – or even win a national championship.

Kevin Dresser is down for the challenge.

“I’m one of those guys who always wants more and I’m an optimist, so our goal is to win a national title,” Tech’s coach said two weeks before the Hokies started workouts for the upcoming season. “That’s what we’re here to do. That’s the goal of the staff and I think that’s the goal of the team. We’ll know more when we start competing, but I hope they have that sense of urgency.

“I’ve always said that the ultimate goal is to be a top-five program year in and year out. When you make that statement, you better be in it to win it all.”

The ascension to the throne certainly will not be easy. No team outside of the Big Ten has taken home the crown in the past decade, and Penn State dominates collegiate wrestling these days, having won five of the past six national titles.

But of all the teams nationwide, the Hokies certainly appear on paper to be in the best position to break the Big Ten’s dominance. Tech lost three-time All-American Nick Brascetta to graduation, but the Hokies return the remainder of their lineup. Seven of the eight who qualified for the NCAA Championships return, including five All-Americans.

Ty Walz and Zach Epperly headline the contingent. Epperly, a redshirt junior at 174 pounds, won seven straight matches to finish third at the NCAAs after being upset in the first round. Walz, a redshirt senior, advanced to the semifinals at heavyweight before losing to eventual national champion Kyle Snyder of Ohio State. He ultimately finished fourth.

Joey Dance, another senior, earned All-America honors as a freshman. He gives the Hokies a total of six who have earned All-America honors at some point. Given that returning talent, Wrestling Insider Newsmagazine ranked the Hokies at No. 2 in its preseason poll.

Dresser, though, expressed concern about complacency coming off of the program’s huge accomplishments this past spring.

“I see certain guys making a run at it. They’re hungry,” he said. “I also see certain guys that I think are going to get snuck up on. The notoriety and the target on their backs … Everyone is going to be gunning for us. We have to learn how to step out and fight every time because people are going to want to take our head off.”

Read the rest of the preview, including a comprehensive breakdown by weight class, in the latest issue of Inside Hokie Sports.

----

The No. 4/6 Hokies open the 2016-17 season at Cassell Coliseum tomorrow, Nov. 5, where they will face Edinboro at 1 p.m. before taking on VMI at 3 p.m. Admission is free and the first 300 fans will receive a Virginia Tech wrestling "Raising The Bar" t-shirt.

PROBABLE LINEUP
125: No. 3 Joey Dance
133: Dominic Latona
141: Dennis Gustafson
149: No. 7 Solomon Chishko

Jackrabbit wrestlers topple Iowa State
11/4/2016 | Wrestling
South Dakota State won two matches by technical fall and added a pair of major decisions to defeat 18th-ranked Iowa State, 27-9, in a season-opening wrestling dual for both teams Friday night before a record crowd of 1,814 at Frost Arena.

The Jackrabbits, who were the top team receiving votes in the preseason USA Today/National Wrestling Coaches Association rankings, won seven matches overall, starting with a 14-2 major decision over Colston DiBlasi at 165 pounds.

The 174-pound matchup featured a pair of returning national qualifiers in Iowa State's seventh-ranked Lelund Weatherspoon and the Jackrabbits' David Kocer. Weatherspoon recorded a second-period escape to take a 1-0 lead into the final period, but Kocer evened the match with an early escape, then recorded the lone takedown of the bout with two seconds remaining to give SDSU a 7-0 lead and send the crowd into a frenzy.

Redshirt freshman Martin Mueller gave SDSU more bonus points with a dominating 19-6 major decision over Carson Powell in which he recorded six takedowns, a reversal and a four-point near-fall.

Iowa State got on the board in the 197-pound division as Patrick Downey, the seventh-ranked wrestler at 184 pounds, wrestled up a weight class and took down the Jackrabbits' ninth-ranked wrestler at 197, Nate Rotert, in an 8-6 decision.

SDSU closed out the first half of the dual with a 3-1 decision at heavyweight by Alex Macki over Iowa State freshman Nick Nolting.

The Jackrabbits' Seth Gross prevented Iowa State from gaining any further momentum after the Cyclones' won the 125-pound bout by turning in the first technical fall of the night with a 16-0 shutout of Nathan Boston.

Alex Kocer added the second technical fall win two bouts later with a 17-2, two-period victory over Blayne Briceno at 149 pounds, securing SDSU's first-ever dual victory over Iowa State in 10 tries.

Colin Holler closed out the Jackrabbit victory with a 5-2 decision over Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer at 157 pounds.

The Jackrabbits close out the weekend by hosting the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open on Sunday. Action begins at 9 a.m. at Frost Arena.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif.—CSU Bakersfield came from behind to defeat California Baptist 29-12 in the 2016-17 wrestling season opener for the Roadrunners Saturday night.

Paul Head extended the California Baptist advantage with a tech fall in the heavyweight bout against Alex Encarnarcion-Strand. Sean Nickell was awarded a forfeit at 125 pounds to cut the Lancers’ lead to 12-9.

No. 6 Hokies kick off 2016-17 with wins over Edinboro and VMI
Seven Hokies go 2-0 on the day

BLACKSBURG – The No. 6 Virginia Tech wrestling team kicked off its 2016-2017 season at Cassell Coliseum on Saturday with two victories over Edinboro and VMI. The Hokies topped the Fighting Scots, 24-13, before defeating the Keydets, 39-6.

Seven Hokies went 2-0 on the day while two other grapplers went 1-1 between the two dual meets.

“Well today was a start, but far from a great start,” head coach Kevin Dresser. “We have a lot of work to do. We need to have a great week at practice, not a good week. We need a lot of these guys to buy in all the way, not just 80 percent of the way.”

Tech opened the day against Edinboro, winning three of ten matchups in a highly physical dual meet. The Hokies came out on top for two of the three ranked matchups including a thrilling bout at 149 between No. 10 Patricio Lugo of Edinboro and No. 7 Solomon Chishko. Chishko recorded a takedown with the clock expiring in the third period and registered another in the sudden-death overtime period to win 7-5.

Senior Sal Mastriani, who trailed 9-2 at the end of the first period against Chase Dlande at 157, followed Chishko’s win with a comeback 15-10 victory, putting Tech ahead 13-4 in the match. Edinboro pulled within 13-7 after taking the bout at 165 but the heart of the Hokies lineup featuring All-Americans Zach Epperly at 174, Zack Zavatasky at 184 and Jared Haught at 197 all produced victories to give the Hokies a 24-13 win.

Three technical falls, two falls, and four regular decisions led to the 39-6 victory over VMI.

Cowboys Rout Bucknell in Season Opener, 36-3

Interview with Kyle Crutchmer:


MIAMI, Okla. – The Oklahoma State wrestling team proved worthy of its No. 1 ranking in its season opener Sunday afternoon, dominating Bucknell in a 36-3 dual victory behind five bonus-point wins at NEO Fieldhouse.


Kyle Crutchmer highlighted the day with a first-period fall in the 174-pound bout, while Nick Piccininni and Jonce Blaylock recorded technical falls and Kaid Brock and Chandler Rogers added major decisions. Dean Heil was also victorious at 141 pounds in the only match that featured two ranked wrestlers.


“I’m feeling better about my team right now,” head coach John Smith said. ”I was a little concerned going in with a few starters out, and you don’t like starting your season like that.”


The Cowboys opened the match with bonus points at 125 pounds as 15th-ranked Nick Piccininni recorded a 15-0 tech fall over Jordan Gessner in 3:46. Piccininni jumped out early, scoring 12 points in the first period, thanks to a takedown, a two-point near fall and a couple of four-point near falls. Starting the second period on bottom, the redshirt freshman escaped and converted a takedown 45 seconds into the frame to finish the match and pick up the first dual victory of his career.


At 133 pounds, redshirt freshman Kaid Brock scored bonus points in his return to the mat from a season-ending injury last year. Brock knocked off Bucknell’s Joey Gould in a 16-6 major decision to expand the Oklahoma State lead to 9-0.


“In the end, I thought we looked pretty sharp at 125 and 133,” Smith said. “Not that we were perfect. It’s hard to be perfect, but getting out there, scoring points and a lot of riding on our part. I didn’t expect that.”


Matched up with 19th-ranked Tyler Smith, returning 141-pound NCAA champion Dean Heil recorded a decision to push the Cowboy lead to 12-0. Heil notched three takedowns in the opening period to take an early 6-2 lead, and after a takedown with 35 seconds left in the second, Heil took an 8-5 lead into the final frame. The junior would close it out with ease, earning a 14-7 decision with riding time.


Jonce Blaylock impressed in his 2016-17 debut, tallying a 21-2 tech fall over Seth Hogue in the 149-pound bout. Blaylock dropped Hogue for a takedown 30 seconds into the match, and recorded a pair of two-point near falls to cap off the first period. Leading, 14-2, heading into the third period, Blaylock would finish strong and score seven quick points to record the tech fall in 6:37.

The Cowboys took their lone loss of the day at 157 pounds, as Bucknell’s Victor Lopez held off junior Davey Dolan in a 7-5 decision.


Fifth-ranked Chandler Rogers posted a 9-1 major decision over Bucknell’s Logan Kerin in his first match down at 165 pounds after competing at 174 last season. Rogers led throughout the match, and picked up the riding time point for the bonus point win.


Returning from an injury that cut his 2016 campaign short, senior Kyle Crutchmer couldn’t have asked for a better return. Crutchmer pinned Chad Reese 1:32 into the first period to put the Pokes up, 27-3.


“This was something that I had been looking forward to,” Crutchmer said. “Not just the pin, but the match. I’ve been out for about six months. I’ve been training a little bit for the last couple of months, but coming back and having a pin. It’s unbelievable.”


Senior Nolan Boyd (184), redshirt sophomore Preston Weigel (197) and senior Austin Schafer (285) each recorded decisions to close out the match, giving the Cowboys their first triumph of the season.


Oklahoma State’s next dual match will send the Cowboys back out on the road to face No. 15 Minnesota on Nov. 27 in Minneapolis.

Gross, Rotert win at Daktronics Open
11/6/2016 | Wrestling
Seth Gross and Nate Rotert won titles and two other Jackrabbit wrestlers reached the finals of their respective weight classes during competition Sunday at the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open at Frost Arena.

Gross, the sixth-ranked wrestler at 133 pounds, recorded a 6-2 decision over Mitch McKee of Minnesota in the championship match. The Apple Valley, Minnesota, native cruised into the title bout with a pin of Zak Hensley of Iowa Central and consecutive technical falls over two other Minnesota wrestlers, Steven Polakowski and Sam Brancale.

Rotert won an overtime battle against Aaron Studebaker of Nebraska in a battle of top-10 wrestlers at 197 pounds. Rotert, ranked ninth, notched a takedown of fifth-ranked Studebaker with two seconds remaining in the first overtime period for a 3-1 sudden victory. A Spearfish native, Rotert posted a 16-1 technical fall over Ben Goodwin of Augustana and a 7-5 decision of Northern State's Joe Gomez to advance to the final.

The other Jackrabbits to reach the finals, David Kocer and Martin Mueller, lost to nationally ranked wrestlers. Kocer fell in a 17-6 major decision to Arizona State's Zahid Valencia at 174 pounds, while Mueller was defeated by fourth-ranked T.J. Dudley of Nebraska by technical fall early in the second period in their 184-pound title tilt.

Kocer won his first two matches by technical fall before downing Micah Barnes of Nebraska, 3-1, to reach the finals. Mueller scored a pair of decisions over Anthony Anderson of Arizona State (7-2) and Taylor Venz of Nebraska (4-2) to advance to the championship.

Three Jackrabbit wrestlers posted third-place finishes, including 149-pounder Alex Kocer. A senior from Wagner, he won two matches by technical fall and one by major decision before pinning Fredy Stroker of Minnesota in the third-place bout. Alex Kocer's lone loss on the day came at the hands of Joshua Maruca of Arizona State, 12-10, in the semifinals.

Junior Luke Zilverberg at 165 pounds and 184-pounder Brady Ayers also turned in third-place finishes. Zilverberg capped a 4-1 day on the mat with an 8-2 decision over Brandon Krone of Minnesota in the third-place match.

Ayers defeated Chris Pfarr of Minnesota, 4-2, in the third-place match to also finish with a 4-1 mark.

In all, 11 different Jackrabbit wrestlers placed in the top six of their weight classes. Henry Pohlmeyer at 141 pounds and 157-pounder Colin Holler were each fourth-place finishers, while Logan Peterson (157 pounds) and Ben Gillette (125 pounds) each took sixth.

No. 23 Panthers Finish 2-0 at Mountaineer Duals

Pitt Defeats Ohio and Campbell in Morgantown, W.Va.


MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The Pitt wrestling team (2-0) collected two wins at the Mountaineer Duals Sunday, Nov. 6, at the WVU Coliseum to open the 2016-17 season.



The Panthers first defeated Ohio, 21-16, before recording a 21-13 win over Campbell.



Freshman Jake Wentzel and sophomore TeShan Campbell were the lone Panthers to pin their opponents on the day, both of which came against Ohio opponents.



“I think it was a good start,” said head coach Jason Peters. “We got to see some guys for the first time and some at new weights. We’ll get ready this week and maybe change some guys around. Overall I thought it was good, the warm-ups were good, the weight cut was good so those are definitely some positives from the first weekend out.”



Pitt vs. Ohio

At 133 pounds, it was a battle between No. 9 Dom Forys and No. 13 Cameron Kelly. Kelly took the first lead of the match early on in the first, but Forys would record five takedowns in the second and third periods to secure a 10-6 decision, tying the dual 3-3.



Senior Mikey Racciato then stepped in to take on Cullen Cummings at 149 pounds, looking to bring back the Pitt lead. Racciato struck early with a takedown, but Cummings escaped. In the second, Cummings started on bottom and escaped, tying the score 2-2. Racciato did the same in the third and held on to win in a 3-2 decision, tying the dual 6-6.



At 157 pounds, freshman Jake Wentzel made his collegiate debut against Zach Wilson and did not disappoint. Wentzel recorded four points in the first period by way of takedown and nearfall. He added a takedown in the second, taking a 6-0 lead. Soon after, Wentzel pinned Wilson in 4:12 to give Pitt the lead, 12-6.



Wrestling for the first time at 165 pounds was sophomore TeShan Campbell as he took on No. 19 Austin Reese. Campbell scored the lone points of the match with a takedown in the first and pinned Reese in 2:10, extending Pitt’s lead to 18-6.



In the final bout of the opening dual, redshirt junior Ryan Solomon came out and dominated Zak Parker, controlling the majority of the match. The 15th-ranked heavyweight won in a 6-2 decision, securing the Panthers victory, 21-16.



Pitt vs. Campbell

Forys picked up his second win of the day by way of major decision over Campbell’s Jonathan Ryan, 17-6. Forys took the lead in the first period, 4-2, and dominated in the second with an escape, two takedown and a four-point nearfall. The Pittsburgh product collected four more points in the third with riding time, earning him 17-6 major decision, giving Pitt the lead, 4-3.



At 141, Zanetta recorded his first win of the day over Joshua Heil in a 6-4 decision, extending Pitt’s lead to 7-3.



Wentzel also picked up his second win of the day at 157 pounds over Austin Kraisser, 10-6. The freshman recorded four points in the first period and scored the rest of his points in the third by way of three escapes, a takedown and capped it off with riding time.



Campbell kept the momentum going at 165 pounds, winning in an 8-3 decision over Quentin Perez. The Pittsburgh product recorded an escape, three takedowns and added a point with riding time en route to his decision.



At 174, Dietrich earned his first win as a Panther in a 16-5 major decision over Alex Herringshaw. Dietrich recorded seven total takedowns, including three in the third period. Dietrich’s notable win boosted the team score to 17-6 in favor of Pitt.



Rounding out the Panthers wins on the day was Bruce at 197, collecting a 15-5 major decision over Willie Bivens. Bruce started the match strong, scoring three-straight takedowns in the first period and another one in the second. Bruce continued to dominate Bivens in the third with a reversal, two takedowns and added on a point with riding time.



Pitt resumes action Sunday, Nov. 13, at Edinboro for a 1 p.m. start.

Sophomore Tyler Berger strung together four consecutive wins en route to the 157-pound weight class title. Berger, a returning NCAA qualifier, earned one technical fall and defeated his other three opponents by decision.

True freshman Chad Red (141) defeated Collin Purinton in the finals by a 5-3 decision. Red opened his tournament with two pins, and went 5-0 overall at the Daktronics Open. Purinton registered one pin and two technical falls during the tournament en route to a runner-up finish.

Rider at Southeast Open

Walsh Champion, Clagon and Wert Runners-up, Stinson 3rd

ROANOKE, VIRGINIA—The Broncs competed in the Southeast Open, formerly known as the Hokie Open, on Saturday to begin the 2016-17 season. “We saw some good things today,” said Rider head coach Gary Taylor, who has seen many good things in his 39 seasons at Rider, “but we have a lot of work to do. Today was a good learning experience. We still need to get better, to get tougher, but I am not disappointed.”

For Rider, junior Chad Walsh (Cherry Hill, N.J. /Camden Catholic) won the 165 pound weight class, winning all five of his matches. “Chad was impressive throughout the tournament,” Taylor said.

In the finals Walsh pinned the sixth seed, Seldon Wright of ODU in 4:43 for the title. The top seed at 165, Walsh defeated the fourth seed, Forrest Przybysz of App. State 22-8 in the semifinals. Walsh defeated Cody Harrington (unattached) in the quarterfinals by the score of 8-0. Walsh pinned Princeton’s Riley Demos at 4:10 in the first round and defeated Joe Velliquette of UPenn3-0 in the second round.

Sophomore J.R. Wert (Christiansburg, Va. /Christiansburg) finished runner-up at 125. “Wert did a good job,” Taylor said. “He’s been out of competition for some time but had a good tournament. It has been almost a year and a half that he hasn’t wrestled. He had to beat some good people to reach the finals.”

In the finals, unseeded Wert lost to the top seed, Sean Russell of Edinboro, 12-4. “He lost to a pretty tough wrestler,” Taylor said. Wert won 6-5 in the semifinals against the third seed, Vito Pasone of App. State. Wert won 5-3 over Thayer Atkins of Duke after a first round bye and pinned Pat Kearney of The Citadel in 56 second in the quarterfinals.

Junior B.J. Clagon (Toms River, N.J. /Toms River HS South) finished runner-up. In the finals, Clagon, the number one seed at 157, lost to the number two seed Russell Parsons of Army 4-2 on riding time. “BJ wrestled a tough kid from Army,” Taylor said. “We’ll get him back on target. He didn’t have a bad tournament but there are some things we can change that will help him.”

Clagon won 10-6 in the semifinals against Mike D’Angelo of Princeton. In the quarterfinals Clagon pinned Michael Elliott of App State in 2:27. Clagon won 3-2 over Alex Rice of Newbury and defeated Ben Schram of ODU 6-3.

Senior Wayne Stinson (Wrightstown, N.J. /Northern Burlington Regional) placed third at 174, winning four of five matches. “Wayne is wrestling well,” Taylor said. In consolation finals Stinson defeated Dan McDevit of Penn. In the semifinals Stinson lost 6-4 to the number one seed, Ion Schleifer of Princeton, Stinson won 21-6 tech fall over Campbell’s Melik Jimenez and defeated Shabaka Johns of VMI in the second round. Stinson defeated Quinton Hiles of Penn 15-6 in the quarterfinals.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – UNI wrestling opened its dual season with two wins at home in the West Gym, beating University of Nebraska-Kearney, 43-0, and Utah Valley, 24-12.
(11/11/2016) Wrestling: Utah Valley vs. UNI


The Panthers hosted three duals, including match-ups between UNK and UVU. UNI improved to 2-0. Utah Valley split 1-1, and UNK fell to 0-2.

“I saw a lot of good things,” said head coach Doug Schwab. “Utah Valley really made our guys earn a lot of things. I think we still have some weight classes up for grabs.”

UNK DUAL
The Panthers, ranked 23rd in the latest NWCA coaches poll, earned bonus points in seven matches against UNK, getting falls from Jay Schwarm at 125 pounds and Max Thomsen.

Schwarm got the Panthers on the board early with a fall in 1 minute, 2 seconds. Josh Alber kept the momentum building 2:24 of riding time in the first period. He went on to tally more than four minutes of riding time to earn a 15-1 tech fall.

Two more Panthers earned tech falls in their opening dual. Taylor Lujan had five first-period takedowns and went on to record a tech fall in 5:33.

UTAH VALLEY DUAL
Alber was the first to get UNI on the board with his second set of bonus points for the night. He beat Jarod Maynes, 20-11.

A late takedown by Jake Hodges gave him the lead, but an escape at the buzzer sent the 141-pound match into sudden victory. Hodges struck right away with a takedown to win 9-7 and put the Panthers up 7-3.

Thomsen followed up his fall with a major decision, earning more than three minutes in riding time.

Bryce Steiert took the mat for the Panthers for the first time this season. His 7-4 decision kept the Panther lead, 14-3.

After his major decision at 157 pounds against UNK, Paden Moore moved up to 165 pounds but wasn’t able to hold off Koy Wilkinson, who won 8-5.

Lujan had four takedowns to help him grab an 11-9 decision over Kimball Bastian.

After wrestling at 197 pounds earlier in the night, Foster fell back to the 184-pound weight class to earn his second set of bonus points. He earned more than three minutes of riding time and went on to win 13-5.

JJ Everard sealed UNI’s win with a 3-2 decision.


UP NEXT: The Panthers will send wrestlers to the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open Sunday. UNI hosts No. 6 Virginia Tech at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 in the West Gym. Student-athletes will be signing autographs following the dual.

Ohio State wrestling contact:
Mike Basford / basford.16@osu.edu WR: Stieber Earns World Team Spot with Bill Farrell Open TitleWill compete in first World Championships Dec. 10-11

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The most decorated wrestler in Ohio State – and arguably NCAA – history can add another line to his international resume.


Top-seeded Logan Stieber, making his debut at 61kg at the Bill Farrell Open on Friday, punched his ticket on the 2016 World Team with a two dominant wins over second-seeded Tyler Graff. As a result, Stieber will compete at the 2016 World Championships for non-Olympic weights Dec. 10-11 in Budapest, Hungary. The Bill Farrell Open served as the World Team Trials for non-Olympic weights when the 2016 World Championships were added to the United World Wrestling calendar.


The finals were a best two out of three series, and Stieber ended the opening match with a takedown and gut wrench for a 10-0 technical fall. He followed the exact same script in match two, gaining an early 2-0 lead on a takedown, getting another to make it 4-0 and finishing it off with a six-point gut wretch. Stieber is just the second four-time NCAA champion to also make a World team.


In the semifinals, Stieber was pushed early by former Minnesota Golden Gopher Jayson Ness, but kept adding to his lead before winning 13-6. The two were tied 4-4 midway through but Stieber pulled away, building an 8-4 lead shortly after the break and never looking back.


“He has looked good. This training is on point. Logan likes to mix it up and get in a lot of positions. Against Ness, who can be dangerous, he held back a little bit. I see his scoring going up against Graff in the finals. He is in a groove. Logan is a risk taker and he will take risks tonight, which for him is being consistent,” Buckeye assistant coach and Ohio RTC head coach Tervel Dlagnev said to USA Wrestling.


Another Stieber – two-time All-American and 2013 Big Ten champion Hunter Stieber – once again displayed him immense potential while healthy. Stieber made the finals of the 65kg weight class, losing a highly entertaining 12-10 decision to BJ Futrell. Stieber trailed 12-6 late in the final period but fought back to cut the lead to two. He couldn’t, however, get any closer.

Four Badgers capture first-place titles at Journeymen Classic

Crone, Medbery, Reinhardt and Ritter claim first tournament crowns of season


On the Web: http://go.wisc.edu/a0v7z2


TROY, N.Y. -- Four Badgers captured first-place titles as 14 total Wisconsin wrestlers competed against some of the nation's top talent at the Journeymen Classic on Sunday.


"We saw some good things but also some things we needed to work on," UW head coach Barry Davis said. "I think some guys needed to compete for a full seven minutes and some guys did. We have to realize that, when you wrestle, it's a seven-minute match unless you get a pin or tech fall. You keep competing the full seven minutes."


Coming off of a win at the prestigious NWCA All-Star Classic, senior Connor Medbery carried his momentum into the tournament to take first in the 285-pound bracket. The third-ranked wrestler picked up a technical fall at 2:16 in his first match before taking down Minnesota's fifth-ranked Michael Kroells with a dominant 10-0 major decision. In the finals, Medbery faced yet another top-10 opponent in fourth-ranked Tanner Hall of Arizona State, but Medbery came away with the tournament crown by taking down Hall 3-2. He has now defeated three top-10 opponents within one week.


Hunter Ritter won his first two matches by decision, 7-1 and 12-3, to move on to the finals. The 184-pounder beat Cortland's Colin Barber 6-2 to capture his third tournament title as a Badger and first while wrestling attached.


149-pounder Andrew Crone beat his first two opponents by decision, 11-3 and 15-4, before beating Joshua Maruca of Arizona State 13-1 to earn first place.


Mason Reinhardt also picked up his first tournament title at Wisconsin after collecting two pins. The 197-pounder recorded a pin at 3:55 in the first match and won his second match 5-3 to advance to the finals, where a pin of Arizona State's Austyn Harris at 1:33 sealed the victory.


Both Jens Lantz and Michael Cullen finished second in the 125-pound class. Lantz won two matches by decision, but fell to Dalton Duffield of Oklahoma in the finals. Fellow Badger Cullen dropped his first match, 10-3, but rebounded with a 4-0 win in the second round and 6-4 sudden victory against Charles Lenox of North Carolina State.


Also earning second place was Ricky Robertson, who finished with a 2-1 record in his first time competing at 197 pounds. After easily winning his first two matches 6-2 and 5-2, he fell to Ohio State's Kollin Moore 12-11.


Sophomore Ryan Christensen recorded a technical fall at 7:00 in his first match before falling to Lehigh's Ryan Preisch 8-0. The 174-pounder finished third after taking out Jacen Petersen 13-8 in the finals to place third.


Eli Stickley also finished third after recording a pin at 2:28 in the first match and picking up a 3-0 win in the finals.


141-pounders Luke Rowh and Cole Martin earned third and fourth place, respectively. Rowh beat Tyler Sage of Arizona State 9-4 in the third round, while

Martin fell to Oklahoma's Mike Longo 7-6 in the finals.


Wrestling at 157 pounds, Rylan Lubeck finished fourth while 197-pounder Eric Peissig and 165-pounder Izaec Quintanilla both earned sixth place.


Wisconsin returns to the mat to take on Duke on Nov. 18 at 6 p.m. in Durham, North Carolina, for the Badgers' first dual of the season.


"We're making strides, we're getting better and seeing good things but there's some things we have to work on Monday to move forward," Davis said. "We will straighten some things out and regroup to get ready for Duke on Friday."

Two-Fall Start Propels IU to 35-6 Win at George Mason

No. 6 Jackson starts year with three wins by fall


Story Link | Dual Results (PDF)


November 17, 2016


FAIRFAX, Va. – In the two weeks leading up to Indiana's dual at George Mason on Thursday evening, head coach Duane Goldmanchallenged his grapplers. After dropping their second dual of the season, he wanted to see how the young dual lineup would respond after a loss.

The Hoosiers (2-1) responded emphatically, earning five wins with bonus points on the way to a 35-6 victory over the Patriots (0-1).

"I thought they responded really well. They came in with a good attitude and wrestled a lot harder, with a little more resiliency in situations," Goldman said. "A lot of young guys like Jake Hinz, Garrett Pepple, and Fletcher Miller had some nice wins that they needed to get. It was a good result."

Much of Indiana's success against the Patriots came from the spark in the first two bouts. No. 12 Elijah Oliver (3-0) opened the dual at 125 lbs. with a 72-second pin, his second of the season and his third win with bonus points. Immediately following in the 133 lbs. match, Garrett Pepple (2-1) sealed the deal against Lio Quezzada (0-1) before the end of the first period. Pepple grabbed a takedown and four back points before securing the win by fall in 2:51.

"That's always huge anytime you can start a dual meet with a fall, and even better with two," said Goldman. "It definitely gets the ball rolling for anyone else coming up behind them, so that was a really important start for us. It's one we needed coming into this match."

Indiana returned to the win column at 157 lbs., when Jake Danishek (2-1) tallied seven takedowns for a 16-6 major decision against Matthew Raines (0-1). It sparked a dominating closing stretch, as the Hoosiers won the final seven bouts.

Bryce Martin (1-1) saw his hand raised for the first time this season after grinding out a 10-5 decision over Garrett Tingen (0-1). Devin Skatzka (3-0) did more of the same at 174 lbs., remaining unbeaten on the year with a 6-3 decision win.

No. 6 Nate Jackson (3-0) continued his unblemished start to the 2016-17 season at 184 lbs. with his third pin at 3:22. Jackson racked up five takedowns in the first period alone, followed by two takedowns and the eventual win by fall.

"He looked a lot better, started to get back in his form today," Goldman said regarding his returning All-American. "Even on the California trip, he dominated the matches but wasn't quite in his rhythm yet. Today he looked like he was getting back in sync."

Redshirt freshman Jake Hinz (1-1) earned his first career varsity win, an imposing 20-7 major decision over Andrew Thomas (0-1) in the penultimate 197 lbs. bout. Hinz led 9-2 after two periods, with 2:33 in riding time, before pouring on five takedowns in the final two minutes.

Fletcher Miller (2-1) outlasted reigning UWW Greco Roman University National Champion Matt Voss (0-1) in the heavyweight bout, claiming a 3-2 decision win. An escape by Voss tied the contest early in the third period, but Miller struck with a takedown midway through the final round. Miller rode away the riding time point, and contained Voss long enough to prevent a comeback attempt.

Junior Luke Blanton (2-1) suffered his first loss of the year in the 149 lbs. match, 10-3, to George Mason's senior captain, Sahid Kargbo. Blanton scored on an escape in the first and a reversal in the second.

The Hoosiers also saw a promising performance in the 141 lbs. bout from sophomore Cole Weaver (0-1). Although Weaver fell in sudden victory, 3-1, he wrestled his first match since suffering a season-ending injury on January 29, 2016 in a dual versus Ohio State. "Even though he lost, it was important for him to get out there and break the ice," Goldman said.

Up Next: Indiana (2-1) at the Navy Classic

Indiana will remain in the Washington, D.C. metro area this weekend for their first tournament of the season, the 2016 Navy Classic at the United States Naval Academy. The Hoosiers join 11 other teams, including George Mason, in setting up a tournament with tantalizing potential matchups in all 10 brackets.

"We haven't looked forward too much, but they'll get a night to sleep on it," Goldman said on the upcoming tournament. "We'll get back in the room tomorrow and train a little bit, go over some things, and get refocused for the weekend."
