The penultimate weekend of the 2023-24 regular season is officially in the books. We only have a week left of duals before moving on to conference tournaments and the NCAA’s in Kansas City. So we’ll this will be the second to last recap on the top ten dual teams. The past week featured two matchups between top-ten teams, #1 Penn State and #4 Nebraska, along with #7 NC State and #8 Cornell. In both instances, the higher-ranked team prevailed; however, there’s still plenty to be learned about all four squads. Here’s the look back at the last week in the top-ten and what’s coming up next on the dual front…if anything. 1. Penn State On Sunday afternoon, Penn State held off #4 Nebraska to finish the 2023-24 campaign a perfect 8-0 in Big Ten competition. Two noteworthy performances came from Nittany Lion wrestlers who were facing familiar opponents. At 141 lbs, with his team in a 7-0 hole, #1 Beau Bartlett dispatched #7 Brock Hardy 9-6 after notching takedowns in each of the first two periods. Hardy defeated Bartlett in the 2023 Big Ten semifinals, one of Bartlett’s three losses during that season. Two matches later, it was a Big Ten finals and NCAA semifinal rematch between #1 Levi Haines and #7 Peyton Robb. This meeting was nothing like it’s predecessors. Haines tallied three takedowns in a 10-3 thumping. Despite losing their first two matches of the dual, Penn State won six of the finals eight to take the dual, 22-13. Top ranked Carter Starocci, Aaron Brooks, and Greg Kerkvliet all chipped in with bonus point wins. Next: Penn State wraps up their regular season schedule with a home dual against 2-11 Edinboro on Sunday. 2. Oklahoma State The second installment of the Bedlam series took place on Saturday night and it ended very similarly to the first version. Oklahoma State dominated to the tune of 34-9 in historic Gallagher-Iba Arena. Earlier this year, they went to enemy soil and beat Oklahoma, 28-9. This meeting saw the Cowboys win seven of ten bouts with a pair of fall and a triumvirate of techs. Troy Spratley (125) and Tagen Jamison (141) supplied the pins, while Daton Fix (133), Dustin Plott (184), and Luke Surber (197) were responsible for the tech falls. In the first round of this year’s Bedlam Duals, Oklahoma State did not have Fix or Surber at their disposal. Next: The Cowboys conclude the regular season with a non-conference dual against Iowa, at home. Oklahoma State is seeking to snap a three-match losing streak to the rivals from the Big Ten. The Cowboys last win against Iowa came in February of 2019, which was the memorable dual when Nick Piccininni pinned Spencer Lee. This year’s version of the dual could feature three meetings between top-ten ranked wrestlers. 3. Iowa Also on Sunday afternoon, Iowa concluded its Big Ten dual slate with a 34-7 win over Wisconsin. It was a much needed, one-sided win for the Hawkeyes, who were on a modest two-match losing streak heading into the dual. From an Iowa standpoint, the two most significant takeaways from the win came at 149 and 184 lbs. At 149, Caleb Rathjen continued to get it done against a quality foe in two-time national qualifier Joe Zargo. He prevailed with an 8-1 decision. 184 lb saw Gabe Arnold make the final appearance of his redshirt year. Arnold edged Midlands champion and #16 ranked Shane Liegel, 8-6. Every other Hawkeye that got their hands raised on Sunday did so with some sort of bonus points. Leading the way was NCAA runner-up, #2 Real Woods, who locked up a fall as he was about to win via tech. Next: As mentioned above, Iowa was a huge non-conference dual at Oklahoma State to end the dual season. A win by the Hawkeyes would avoid the team’s first three-loss season since 2017-18. 4. Nebraska Nebraska concluded their Big Ten schedule with a 22-13 loss to top-ranked Penn State. I’m sure Mark Manning and his staff aren’t in the mood for moral victories, but the Cornhuskers are the only team in 2023-24 to score more than ten points against the Nittany Lions. They also have to be encouraged by the 141 lb bout. Though Beau Bartlett won, there was a controversial “injury time” taken by Bartlett as Brock Hardy was close to finishing a takedown. Hardy made things interesting in the final stanza and gave the impression that he could defeat Bartlett should they meet in the postseason. The dual got kicked off by Caleb Smith stunning freshman star Braeden Davis at 125 lbs with an 11-3 major decision. 125 has been absolutely bonkers and unable to predict all year. Later this week, we may dive into some Big Ten seeding predictions. They may not necessarily matter at 125, as much as other weights, but beating Davis certainly helped on that front. Nebraska also got wins from Jacob Van Dee (133), Ridge Lovett (149), and Lenny Pinto (184). Van Dee continues to impress with a late-season surge, while Lovett survived and remained undefeated against a tough true freshman. Pinto held of three-time All-American Bernie Truax to take a six-match winning streak into the postseason. Next: Before the B1G Championships, Nebraska heads out west for a non-conference dual with Arizona State. The Sun Devils boast a pair of multi-time All-Americans in the middle of their lineup, which should make for intriguing matchups against Lovett and Peyton Robb. 5. Iowa State The Cyclones were off this week in preparation for their season finale against #9 Missouri. This dual could pit two pair of undefeated wrestlers up against each other at 165 and 285 lbs. Many fans had the 165 lb contest between national champions David Carr and Keegan O’Toole circled the day the schedules were released. Last year, Carr won the dual and Big 12 finals matchup; while O’Toole took the big one in the NCAA finals. 6. Ohio State Not only did Ohio State wrap up their Big Ten slate with a 38-7 win over Michigan State, but they also finished their regular season. The Buckeyes are done with duals and have turned their attention to the Big Ten Championships at the University of Maryland. Ohio State’s win over Michigan State including wins in eight of ten matches and bonus points in six of those contests. Nic Bouzakis (133), Ryder Rogotzke (184), and Nick Feldman (285) led the way with falls. Rogotzke’s pin of #15 Layne Malczewski featured him reaching back in a manner which you’d probably yell at your middle school son for doing; however, he’s perfected those types of situations and has made himself one of the most dangerous guys at 184 lbs. A tip of the hat is in order to Tom Ryan and the Buckeye staff. They’ve been hammered with injuries this year and haven’t blinked. Despite missing a chunk of projected starters, the Buckeyes have grabbed wins over top-ten teams like Cornell and Michigan. 7. NC State NC State went away from the ACC norm of Friday night conference duals at this time of year when they hosted Cornell in a much-anticipated non-conference clash. Former Wolfpack coach Donnie Vinson and NC State legend Nick Gwiazdowski returned on the bench for Cornell. A few Cornell stars that didn’t wrestle led this to be a rather lopsided 24-9 win for the Wolfpack. Even so, there were some good moments. The NC State staff has to be encouraged with a 5-1 win from Jakob Camacho over #13 Brett Ungar at 125 lbs. Camacho had some time off after a rough patch. in late-December/January, but looks like he’s the guy for Pat Popolizio’s team coming down the home stretch. At 184 lbs, freshman Dylan Fishback downed 2023 All-American Chris Foca in one of the best matches of the weekend, 6-4. That bout could go a long way towards NCAA seeding in a weight that is relatively wide-open after the top two. Next: It’s time for one of the best new rivalries in the sport, NC State versus Virginia Tech. This dual has frequently decided the ACC regular season title-winning team and typically comes down to the last match; regardless of records or rankings. NC State will play host this year and is looking to get one back after the Hokies took last season’s dual, 16-14. 8. Cornell Cornell took a trip down south to face off with a pair of teams that were conference champions in 2023, with NC State on Friday night and Appalachian State on Sunday. One of the highlights of the loss to NC State was Big Red super-freshman Meyer Shapiro cruising to a 7-2 win over dangerous All-American Ed Scott. Two matches later, Benny Baker notched an 8-4 victory over #28 Alex Faison. Baker could be tough out for the rest of the conference at the EIWA Championships. Cornell got back on the winning track with a 36-6 win over Appalachian State two days later. Once again, Shapiro was responsible for the biggest win of the dual when he teched the 2023 SoCon champion Tommy Askey. Next: Sunday marks the end of the dual season for Cornell as they’ll host a very underrated Binghamton squad in their EIWA finale. The back of Binghamton’s lineup is particularly strong and should make for some interesting matchups with Cornell. 9. Missouri After a week off, Missouri got back into competition as they traveled up north to face both Dakota schools. North Dakota State on Friday and South Dakota State on Sunday. The North Dakota State dual didn’t provide much in the way of surprising results. The Tigers pounced for a 32-6 win. Half of their starters came away with bonus point wins. Mizzou was pushed two days later by a very solid SDSU squad, but prevailed 21-19 due to some late-match heroics from heavyweight Zach Elam. A match after his younger brother, Rocky, was pinned - Zach took the mat with Mizzou trailing 19-15. Just winning wouldn’t simply cut it from a team standpoint. The elder Elam didn’t even give the SDSU faithful a glimpse of hope as he needed only :33 seconds to pin Luke Rasmussen and give his team the winning six points. Two other notable win for Mizzou against SDSU include Noah Surtin (125) and Brock Mauller (157). Surtin posted a 14-6 major decision against a ranked opponent (#15 Tanner Jordan), showing that he might be one of the few consistent 125 lber in an otherwise tumultuous weight class. Mauller grinded out a 4-1 win over #16 Cael Swensen. 157 lbs is so deep with talent that a loss by Mauller could have been devastating from a Big 12 and NCAA seeding standpoint. Next: Missouri is ending the season in a strong manner. They hit the road to Iowa for a pair of duals against top-20 teams with #17 Northern Iowa on Friday and #5 Iowa State on Sunday. 10. Michigan Friday saw Michigan conclude its Big Ten schedule with a 30-6 win at Indiana. The Wolverines took eight of ten matches and saw three of their wrestlers earn bonus points. Perhaps the highlight of the night was Indiana-native Joseph Walker filling in for #3 Shane Griffith at 174 lbs. Walker knocked off #21 Donnell Washington, 4-3. They’ll finish the year with a 5-3 mark in conference duals. All three losses came to teams currently ranked in the top-seven. Next: Sean Bormet’s team will finish the regular season by traveling to in-state foe Central Michigan for a dual on Sunday. CMU’s best grapplers are in the middle of their lineup, so we’ll probably get to witness a pair of good matchups for Austin Gomez and Will Lewan.

This weekend, high school state tournament season really went into full swing. States like Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa held their much-anticipated season-ending tournaments - along with plenty of others. As these tournaments conclude, it begs the question, "how did my favorite team's recruits fare?" In some smaller states, it's almost a given that your college-bound studs are collecting another state title, while in the power states, with the deepest talent pools, such achievements are not guaranteed. Either way, we've combed through results from all of the state tournaments that have taken place thus far to find out how everyone's recruits have finished. We will update this article each week as more results become official. If you do not see a recruit that should be added, please fill out our commitment form or email me at earl@matscouts.com .

Every week during the 2023-24 season, the InterMat staff will submit their picks for some of the most high-profile or competitive dual meets. As the season progresses, we'll keep track of records for bragging rights or as ammunition for when we mock each other. No, we'd never do that, it's all in good fun (right?). Records heading into this weekend: 46-22: Nick 45-23: Bob D.; Willie 44-24: Richard, Tony 43-25: Morgan 41-27: Earl, Kevin, Dysen, Robbie 40-28: Austin 39-29: Jagger, Rachel, Ryan 37-31: James Below are the picks for week 16:

Friday night is the setting for one of the most unique and storied traditions in college wrestling, the Star Match. The Star Match pits Army West Point against their rival the Naval Academy. As is the case in all sports, this is a rivalry with larger implications in mind. These squads will go head-to-head and want to crush the opposition, yet years from now, they could be cooperating in serious combat. With the wrestling community might be focused on a matchup between Big Ten powers, graduates from both institutions are very interested in this results, even if they’re not wrestling fans. About five years ago, I visited the West Point campus and head coach Kevin Ward told me how his inbox is filled with emails of congratulations after a win over their rivals. Oftentimes, he may not recognize the sender, as it may not be a wrestling alum, just someone with a vested interest in having bragging rights in another sport over their rival. Navy comes into this dual with a 52-10-5 advantage over Army. This year’s edition of the Star Match will be held in Annapolis on Navy’s campus, a place where they have 28 times, against only three losses (and one tie). Since Cary Kolat took over the Navy program in the spring of 2020, the Midshipmen have won three straight against Army. That being said, Ward has been very good against Navy during his tenure. His teams won five of six before this current three-match losing streak. If you can't make it to Annapolis, you can watch along on ESPN+ at 7:30 pm (EST). Here's our preview and predictions for the 2024 edition of the Star Match. 125 lbs - #32 Ethan Berginc (Army West Point) vs. Dayton DelViscio (Navy) Right off the bat we’ve got an All-Pennsylvania match with Ethan Berginc (Hempfield Area) versus Dayton DelViscio (Malvern Prep). Berginc was a two-time PA state placer (1,3), while DelViscio was a National Prep third place finisher as a senior. Berginc had an incredibly tough early-seaosn schedule that included losses to three different wrestlers who have assumed the #1 ranking at some point this season. Those matches fell within the first three weeks of the season. Since then, Berginc has been incredibly consistent - racking up an 18-4 record. He’s been excellent against conference competition; losing only once to an EIWA opponent. Berginc made the national tournament as a freshman and is looking to go back for a second consecutive season. The junior, DelViscio sports an 8-10 record and is looking to get back on track after losing his two most recent outings. Both were via bonus points to conference competitors. Last year, these two met in the Round of 16 at the EIWA Championships and Berginc pitched an 8-0 shutout. I’d expect for him to get his hand raised again; however, in a dual with such high stakes, DelViscio is cognizant of surrendering bonus points. Pick: Berginc by decision (3-0 Army West Point) 133 lbs - #31 Braden Basile (Army West Point) vs. #33 Brendan Ferretti (Navy) Freshman Braden Basile jumped into the Army lineup and immediately had a positive impact. During week two of the regular season, Basile notched a pair of wins over opponents who were ranked at the time. A week later, he took out Dylan Shawver (Rutgers) in sudden victory at the Black Knight Invitational. That win has aged extremely well as Shawver has worked his way into the top-ten. He’d finish the first half of his freshman year with a sixth place showing at the Southern Scuffle. Since then, Basile’s gone 3-1 in dual competition, with the only setback coming against Scuffle champion Kurt Phipps (Bucknell) in his last dual. Brendan Ferretti is a sophomore who qualified for nationals last season after finishing fourth in the conference. Ferretti started the 2023-24 campaign solidly holding a 7-2 record headed into January. Since then, he’s experienced some growing pains. Ferretti went 1-2 at the F&M Open, then dropped four out of five duals. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel however, as Ferretti knocked off Phipps in tiebreakers during his last appearance. Could he be ready for another good run in March? Not only is this a toss-up match for dual purposes, but it also is huge for both wrestlers individually. Each are near the bottom of the national rankings and a loss could force someone out of the top-33, not a prospect that either wants heading into the final week of the regular season. Pick: Ferretti by decision (3-3 Tie) 141 lbs - Logan Brown (Army West Point) vs. #14 Josh Koderhandt (Navy) There aren’t too many clear-cut favorites in this dual, but 141 is the exception. Two-time national qualifier Josh Koderhandt is one of Navy’s top wrestlers and has been very consistent at a tough weight class. Though he has six losses on the year, only one has come to an opponent outside of the top-ten. Koderhandt was also selected to compete at the 2023 NWCA All-Star Classic, where he fell to returning All-American Lachlan McNeil (North Carolina). McNeil is also responsible for Koderhandt’s only official loss during the 2024 calendar year. Koderhandt has won his other six duals in 2024, one of which came against a returning All-American and three others were against past national qualifiers. Despite being a senior, Logan Brown has never crossed paths with Koderhandt. Brown was up at 149 lbs last season and wrestled at 141 the previous year - while Koderhandt was at 133. Despite seeing plenty of mat-time during his first three years in West Point, this could be the first time that Brown is “the guy” for Army in the postseason. In 2023-24, he’s amassed a 19-10 record that’s filled with plenty of deep runs in individual tournaments. Brown was only in the lineup for one dual during the first half of the year, but started in three during the month of January. In January, he was able to pick up a dual win over Ivan Garcia (Binghamton), a match that was sandwiched between a pair of close losses to quality opponents. Now he’ll face a much more daunting task with #14 Koderhandt. Pick: Koderhandt by decision (6-3 Navy) 149 lbs - #31 Matthew Williams (Army West Point) vs. Kaemen Smith (Navy) Army is extremely deep at 149 lbs as Matthew Williams is the third Black Knight wrestler to make his way into the national rankings this season. Initially, Trae McDaniel was tabbed to start; however, he was injured and Thomas Deck filled in admirably with a 20-6 record. Deck has now given way to the fellow senior Wiliams. Williams comes into Annapolis on a heater as he has not tasted defeat since early-December. Along the way, Williams won the F&M Open and four duals that followed. This should be Williams’ first opportunity to go into the postseason as the starter for Army. Like Army, Navy is deep at 149 and Kaemen Smith emerged as the starter from a room full of capable options - though it did take some time. Smith didn’t see action in his first dual of the season until the Virginia Duals in mid-January. A week earlier, he was 2-2 at the F&M Open, won by Williams. In dual competition, Smith has gone 4-2 with both losses coming to opponents outside of the EIWA. His most recent win saw Smith down Bucknell’s Riley Bower in sudden victory. Pick: Williams by decision (6-6 tie) 157 lbs - Nate Lukez (Army West Point) vs. Jonathan Ley (Navy) Like the previous bout, Army has the experience edge, but ultimately this is probably a toss-up bout. Nate Lukez was a national qualifier for the Black Knights in 2023 after finishing third in the EIWA. Because of Army’s tough early-season schedule, Lukez dropped four matches during November, but has been relatively consistent since then. Lukez was a champion at the Cleveland State Open, in December, then built off that momentum with a fourth place finish at the Southern Scuffle. Post-Scuffle, Lukez won four straight duals, before getting edged out by #24 Max Brignola (Lehigh) in his most recent appearance. Jonathan Ley is a freshman who came into Annapolis with high expectations after winning 13 of 15 bouts last season competing for Navy’s Prep School, while competing at 165 lbs. Now at 157, Ley has been solid, but not spectacular, sporting an 8-8 record. Since the calendar turned over to 2024, Ley has gone 1-3 in dual competition - two of his losses have come against EIWA competition. Pick: Lukez by decision (9-6 Army West Point) 165 lbs - #23 Gunner Filipowicz/Dalton Harkins (Army West Point) vs. #16 Andrew Cerniglia (Navy) 165 and 174 lbs could represent the two best bouts of the evening, in terms of having high-quality competitors squaring off. Army has a pair of excellent options at their disposal with freshman Gunner Filipowicz and veteran Dalton Harkins. Filipowicz started the year competing at 174 lbs, but made the descent down to 165 in December. Filipowicz made the Southern Scuffle finals and went unbeaten at the Mat-Town Open. His only losses in 2024 have come against top-20 opponents (both from the EIWA). The starter from day one of the 2023-24 season at this weight for Army was Dalton Harkins, who was ranked in the preseason. Harkins was bumped from the lineup once Filipowicz dropped, but he has been in the starting lineup for the Black Knights, of late, and has been very good. He’s gone 2-1 in his last three duals with wins over two ranked opponents and his lone loss came in sudden victory to Noah Mulvaney (Bucknell) - Filipowicz’s Scuffle finals foe. Whoever Army sends out at 165 lbs, will have their hands full with the red-hot Andrew Cerniglia. Cerniglia has rarely been healthy for an extended period of time, in college, but now that he has - he’s been very good. After two uncharacteristic losses at the Soldier Salute, Cerniglia has gone on a 13-match winning streak. That streak has seen him rack up bonus points on nine occasions and included wins over five past national qualifiers. One of those bonus-point wins came over Harkins at the F&M Open. Pick: Cerniglia by decision (9-9 Tie) 174 lbs - #15 Ben Pasiuk (Army West Point) vs. #27 Danny Wask (Navy) Like Filipowicz, Ben Pasiuk started the year up a weight but eventually dropped back down to his typical weight. Pasiuk is the most decorated wrestler on the Army squad. He’s a three-time national qualifier, 2021 EIWA champion and two-time conference finalist. Pasiuk was one of two EIWA champs for Army in 2021, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished by a West Point wrestler since 2010. Since moving back down to 174 lbs, Pasiuk has only lost twice and won the Southern Scuffle. At 174 lbs, Pasiuk has been able to secure five falls in 2023-24. Navy’s counter to Pasiuk is freshman Danny Wask. Wask is another wrestler that excelled during his year at the Navy Prep School, amassing a 16-5 record. He started his career at Navy with back-to-back tough dual losses, then proceeded to win the Navy Classic and place fourth at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational - a team high. Since Vegas, Wask has been solid, but not completely consistent. He’s gone 9-3 with two of the losses coming against opponents ranked lower than him, at the time. This is a huge match for the dual. Despite the slight discrepancy in rankings, I’d expect this to be a very tight affair. Especially in a dual that projects to be tight and back-and-forth. We’ll be safe and go with the veteran. Pick: Pasiuk by decision (12-9 Army West Point) 184 lbs - Daniel Lawrence (Army West Point) vs. David Key (Navy) Once again, we have a pair of veterans for both teams; however, they’ve never met due to some weight changes along the way. Daniel Lawrence was Army’s entrant in the 2023 EIWA Championships at 197 lbs and finished in eighth place. In the opening round, he was pinned by Navy’s Jake Koser. Like the two wrestlers that proceeded him in the Army lineup, Lawrence dropped down in weight in December. He hasn’t experienced the same level of success that his teammates who’ve made the move have. Lawrence is 3-6 on the year at 184 and has lost both of his dual meet appearances. Navy will counter with two-time national qualifier David Key. The 2021 EIWA runner-up has faced a gauntlet of imposing foes since January and generally come out on the wrong side of those results - however, he’s battle-tested. Key also has a perfect 3-0 record in Star Matches. Pick: Key by decision (12-12 tie) 197 lbs - Wolfgang Frable (Army West Point) vs. Daniel Williams (Navy) Sophomore Wolfgang Frable appeared in one dual meet last season and has emerged as the go-to-guy for the Army staff down the homestretch in 2023-24. Frable had a good showing at the F&M Open, winning four of five bouts and took that momentum into Army’s dual with Drexel, where he picked up his first career dual win over Ibrahim Ameer. Since then, it’s been some rocky sledding for Frable losing his next four matches and giving up bonus points in two of them. To his credit, two of those losses were against past All-Americans. Daniel Williams is another freshman starter for Navy and his record has hovered around .500 for the year. Not bad, for a first-year wrestler at an upperweight. Williams has also recently faced some of the same past AA’s as Frable has met. He suffered a similar fate. Like Frable, Williams had a good showing at the F&M Open, though the two didn’t meet. I think with a potentially tight match and the home crowd behind Williams, he gets the win. Pick: Williams by decision (15-12 Navy) 285 lbs - #27 Lucas Stoddard (Army West Point) vs. #19 Grady Griess (Navy) Presuming the dual starts at 125 lbs, we’ll have a pair of ranked big men decide this clash, which is a great place to end. Grady Griess is a senior who made his first NCAA Tournament last year after winning the EIWA and compiling an impressive 33 victories. He went 1-2 in Tulsa before his elimination. This year, Griess has a handful of younger heavyweights nipping at his heels in the EIWA. Griess already has a pair of EIWA dual losses on his resume with the emergence of Cory Day (Binghamton) and Nathan Taylor (Lehigh). Even so, I don’t think many people want to draw the defending conference champion as a third or fourth seed. Despite taking a couple of regular season losses, Griess seemed to be coming into this match in good form as he’s won his two most recent bouts via fall and tech. Freshman Lucas Stoddard has been an excellent discovery for the Army staff this season. He’s already earned 21 wins against ten losses and if you look closely at those losses, none of them are really “bad” losses. In late-January, Stoddard posted his second win over a returning national qualifier when he defeated Bucknell’s Dorian Crosby. Depending on how the rest of the dual shakes out, this could end up as winner-takes-all match or one where Griess needs to put up bonus points for his team to win. Pick: Griess by decision (18-12 Navy)
