    Konrad hands Mocco first collegiate loss since 2002

    Junior Cole Konrad handed two-time defending NCAA Champion Steve Mocco of Oklahoma State his first loss since his freshman season at the NWCA/Marines All-Star Classic on Monday night in Stillwater, Okla. Konrad earned a 4-1 double overtime decision at heavyweight. Senior All-American Matt Nagel also defeated defending NCAA Champion Johny Hendricks of Oklahoma State by a 5-3 decision at 165 pounds.

    In double overtime, Konrad earned a penalty point after Mocco was called for hooking his hands to take a 2-1 lead and then scored a reversal with nine seconds to go to earn the 4-1 victory. Mocco has not lost a collegiate match since the championship match of his freshman year in 2002. Mocco had defeated Konrad in all three meetings a year ago, including an overtime victory in the finals at the NCAA Championships.

    At 165 pounds, Nagel avenged a loss to Hendricks last season with a 5-3 victory. In sudden death overtime, Nagel earned a takedown with four seconds to go to earn the win.

    At 133 pounds, Cal Poly's Darrell Vasquez defeated Minnesota All-American Mack Reiter by the score of 6-3. Vasquez took a 4-1 first-period lead on a pair of takedowns and held on for the win.

    This was the 40th annual NWCA/Marines All-Star Classic. The event attempts to pit the top two wrestlers in each weight class.

    The Golden Gophers begin their dual meet season on Saturday at the Northeast Duals.
