    North Carolina 141 lber Lachlan McNeil (photo courtesy of SJanickiPhoto.com) We enter week 3 in conference duals and at the completion of the night, we will have a team alone at the top of the ACC standings. North Carolina will head to Pittsburgh with the ACC dual title lead on the line. Virginia Tech is looking to rebound at Duke after a loss to Pittsburgh and Virginia is seeking their first ACC win at home against NC State. We’ve got a busy night ahead of us--let’s take a look. #7 Virginia Tech at Duke The Hokies are coming off a loss to Pitt at home and are looking to get back on track against the Blue Devils, who are looking for their first ACC win. We will see a couple lineup changes for the Hokies and the Blue Devils have not announced a starter at 174--Gaetano Console got the start against UNC in week one, but they forfeited the weight last week against NC State. We will see Eddie Ventresca return to the starting spot at 125; it has been back and forth between him and Cooper Flynn with neither seeming to be able to solidify their spot when given the chance. Sam Fisher will be manning the weight at 184 with Hunter Bolen out this week and we may see Andy Smith or TJ Stewart get the nod at 197. What to watch this dual: The biggest thing I am looking at is how Virginia Tech responds to a poor showing last week. I expect them to send a message with their performance tonight. Keep an eye on the match at 285. Catka and Neisenbaum are pretty evenly matched and have traded wins. The last win was in sudden victory for Neisenbaum at the Keystone Classic. No. 7 Hokies vs Blue Devils Probables 125 – Eddie Ventresca vs Ethan Grimminger 133 – No. 7 Sam Latona vs Logan Agin 141 – No. 12 Tom Crook vs Christian Colman 149 – No. 8 Caleb Henson vs Patrick Rowland 157 – No. 5 Bryce Andonian vs Logan Ferrero 165 – No. 26 Connor Brady vs Gabe Dinette 174 – No. 3 Mekhi Lewis vs TBD 184 – Sam Fisher vs Luke Chakonis 197 – No. 22 Andy Smith or TJ Stewart vs Brayden Ray 285 – No. 23 Hunter Catka vs No. 22 Jonah Niesenbaum #8 North Carolina State at Virginia The Wolfpack head north to Virginia for the second time in three weeks, this time they will face the Cavaliers for a Friday night dual in Charlottesville. The Hoos are searching for their first ACC win, but will have a tall task with the #8 Wolfpack who are 1-1 in ACC competition. There will be a few ranked versus ranked matchups to keep an eye on. 141: Brian Courtney and Ryan Jack will square off in a battle of contrasting styles. Jack is a heavy favorite on paper, but Courtney wrestles a style that has given Jack problems in the past. That said, Jack has improved greatly this year and is very sound positionally, so Courtney will have to take him out of his comfort zone to make an upset happen. 149: The veteran Verkleeren will face off with true freshman Jackson Arrington who has been very impressive this year. Verkleeren has wrestled very well in ACC competition and will be looking to use his experience to his advantage. 184: Trent Hidlay has been on an incredible run this season and is coming in with only one loss. Neil Antrassian has been one of the highlights of the year for the Hoos; he is 19-5 on the year and is 1-1 in the ACC with a win over Reece Heller and a close loss to Gavin Kane. I’m interested to see if Antrassian can slow down the firepower of Hidlay and make it a match. 197: Michael Battista has been impressive in the back half of the season but will have a tall task facing Isaac Trumble. It is a clash of different body styles and wrestling styles; Battista has won several close matches against top competition while Trumble has, for the most part, widened the gap--putting up big scores and multiple pins. #8 NC State at Virginia 125: Patrick McCormick vs No. 28 Jarrett Trombley 133: Marlon Yarbrough II OR Keyveon Roller vs No. 25 Kai Orine 141: No. 29 Brian Courtney vs No. 4 Ryan Jack 149: No. 26 Jarod Verkleeren vs No. 17 Jackson Arrington 157: Jake Keating OR Denton Spencer vs No. 7 Ed Scott 165: No. 17 Justin McCoy vs No. 25 Matty Singleton OR Derek Fields 174: Vic Marcelli OR Hudson Stewart OR Justin Phillips vs No. 29 Alex Faison 184: No. 17 Neil Antrassian vs No. 3 Trent Hidlay 197: No. 24 Michael Battista vs No. 9 Isaac Trumble 285: Ethan Weatherspoon OR Colden Dorfman vs No. 12 Owen Trephan #25 North Carolina at #16 Pittsburgh We have a Friday Night Duals showcase to determine the leader in the ACC dual standings. Both teams are coming in undefeated in ACC competition. North Carolina has wins over Duke and Virginia, while Pitt has a win over Virginia and an upset win over Virginia Tech last week. We have seen all year that Pitt has a dangerous team, especially with the experienced leaders they have in a dual setting. UNC struggled to open the season, but since returning several starters from injury have been on a solid run. This matchup comes at a great time for both programs. Neither were favored to win the ACC dual title to start the year, but they have put themselves in position to earn at least a share of the title with a win tonight and both programs have a path to victory in this dual. Each team still has difficult tests upcoming; Pitt will face NC State, while UNC will face both NC State and Virginia Tech. Let’s look at how this one shakes out: 125: I’m hoping they start at 125 because this one could go a long way to determining the winner. Jack Wagner has had a stellar season thus far and comes in at 18-5 overall and 2-0 in the ACC. Camacho is 13-6 overall and 2-0 in the ACC, he has won his last three matches by bonus going tech fall, major, pin. 133: This heavily favors Micky Phillippi, as he holds the advantage in experience and overall record. Jace Palmer has emerged as the starter at 133 over the past few weeks and is 2-0 in the ACC. 141: I’ve had this match circled on my calendar since the preseason--and if we are being honest, so has Lachlan McNeil. When I spoke with him before the World Championships, he highlighted this matchup as one he is most looking forward to in the ACC, because he wants to be tested against the best. Matthews is one of the most consistent wrestlers in the country and has only one blemish on his record. McNeil started the season a little more slowly, but has been on an absolute tear as of late--he is 18-5 overall and has won the past 12. Their styles are polar opposites; Matthews is stellar defensively and has impressive counterattacks. McNeil is very aggressive offensively and can put up points in bunches. This could be a very fun matchup. 149: Tyler Badgett has had a good season for the Panthers and has come through with some clutch wins. I am curious who we will see for the Tar Heels. Sherman had looked great since returning from injury, but he injured his shoulder last week against Jarod Verkleeren and was in obvious pain. This is very much a toss up weight. 157: This leans heavily in favor of the Tar Heels. NCAA champ and multiple-time All-American Austin O’Connor will be looking to extend his undefeated season over Jared Keslar who is in for an injured Dazjon Casto. 165: Holden Heller is 2-0 in the ACC with ranked wins over Justin McCoy and Connor Brady; he will likely face Joey Mazzara who is 1-1 in the conference with a win over Gabe Dinette and a close loss to Justin McCoy. Heller has had a great season so far and will be slightly favored here. 174: This is another “OR” weight for the Tar Heels. Clay Lautt was out for a long time with injury, but wrestled the first ACC dual against Duke. Michael Goldfeder got the nod, and the win, last week by injury default over Vic Marcelli. The coaching staff continues to say that it is a day-to-day decision of whether he will start, so we’ll see who runs out in Pittsburgh. Luca Augustine will get the start for the Panthers. He is 1-1 in the ACC with a win over Vic Marcelli and a loss to Mekhi Lewis. 184: This will be a fun match. Both guys can be wide open and have some impressive funk ability. Kane is very dangerous from neutral and Heller has proven to be dangerous both on top and bottom. Kane is 2-0 with wins over Neil Antrassian and Luke Chakonis; Heller is 1-1 with a loss to Neil Antrassian and a defensive pin win over Hunter Bolen. This one could be wild. 197: Nino Bonaccorsi has taken care of business every time he’s stepped on to the mat this year and enters with a perfect record; he is heavily favored to keep that perfect record intact against either Max Shaw or Cade Lautt. Bonaccorsi is 2-0 in conference while Shaw and Lautt are both 0-1 with losses to Vince Baker and Michael Battista, respectively. 285: Dayton Pitzer got the go ahead last week and got his first ACC win over Hunter Catka. He still has two dates to utilize before a redshirt decision has to be made. Whitman is 0-1 with a sudden victory loss to Jonah Neisenbaum and Aydin Guttridge is 1-0 with a win over Ethan Weatherspoon. Friday Night Probables No. 25 North Carolina at No. 16 Pitt 125: No. 19 Jack Wagner vs. Colton Camacho 133: Jace Palmer vs. No. 7 Micky Phillippi 141: No. 13 Lachlan McNeil vs. No. 3 Cole Matthews 149: No. 27 Zach Sherman or Wil Guida or Jayden Scott vs. No. 29 Tyler Badgett 157: No. 3 Austin O'Connor vs. Jared Keslar 165: Joey Mazzara or Gino Esposito vs. No. 23 Holden Heller 174: No. 8 Clay Lautt or Michael Goldfeder vs. Luca Augustine 184: No. 13 Gavin Kane vs. No. 19 Reece Heller 197: Max Shaw or Cade Lautt vs. No. 2 Nino Bonaccorsi HWT: Brandon Whitman vs. No. 5 Dayton Pitzer or Jake Slinger

    Bellator fighter Darrion Caldwell at the 2009 NCAA Championships (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) This weekend, the two top MMA promotions in the world return. As per usual, the Bellator card is loaded with former wrestling talent. The UFC card is not as stacked with wrestlers, but there is one international prospect who likely has a bright future. The following looks at the top wrestlers in MMA action this weekend. Saturday: Bellator 290 Ryan Bader vs. Fedor Emelianenko Bader was a three-time Pac-10 champion and a two-time All-American for Arizona State. He finished sixth as a senior in 2006 and then quickly made the transition to MMA. Bader won the eighth season of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality show and has held both the light heavyweight and heavyweight titles in Bellator. Despite losing the light heavyweight title in 2020, Bader has retained the heavyweight belt and will put it on the line against a legend. Emelianenko is widely regarded as the best heavyweight in MMA history. The 46-year-old fighter won the Pride FC heavyweight championship in 2003 and held it until the promotion was purchased by the UFC in 2007. Emelianenko has fought sparingly since 2016, but he has won five of his last seven and is coming off a first-round knockout of former Division II All-American Timothy Johnson. Bader and Emelianeko fought previously at Bellator 214 in 2019. On that night, Bader won by knockout in 35 seconds. Johnny Eblen vs. Anatoly Tokov Eblen spent his college days at Missouri, and he qualified for the 2016 NCAA tournament. The following year, he turned professional in MMA and started building his undefeated 12-0 record. After only four fights, Eblen signed with Bellator. After an extensive winning streak, he challenged Gegard Mousasi for the promotion’s middleweight title. Eblen took the belt in dominant fashion. This will be his first title defense. Tokov holds a 31-2 record, and he has won all seven of his fights since joining Bellator in 2017. In his last fight, he scored a first-round knockout over Muhammad Abdullah at Bellator 282. Brennan Ward vs. Sabah Homasi Ward wrestled for Division III Johnson & Wales. In 2010, he finished second to become an All-American. He actually made his professional MMA debut in 2008 before he even finished his college wrestling career. Ward is now a 22-fight veteran and fought for the Bellator middleweight championship in 2014. Early last year, he returned from a nearly five-year layoff caused by personal issues and won a pair of fights by stoppage. Homasi was on the 21st season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” but he went 0-3 after joining the UFC. He returned to Bellator in 2019 and has won five of his last seven fights. Ali Isaev vs. Steve Mowry Isaev represented Azerbaijan at the 2008 Olympics and also won the European Championships at heavyweight in 2009. His MMA career began in Russia in 2016 before he signed with PFL and won their 2019 heavyweight tournament. In the finals, he bested former Oklahoma State heavyweight Jared Rosholt. This will be the first action for the 39-year-old wrestler since New Year’s Eve 2019. Mowry holds an undefeated 10-0 MMA record and has won all six of his fights with Bellator since making his debut with the promotion back in 2018. In his last fight, he went to a “no contest” against Valentin Moldavsky after the fight ended via an illegal eye poke. Chris Gonzalez vs. Max Rohskopf Gonzalez was a junior college All-American for Harper before he turned his attention to Greco. In 2016, he made the non-Olympic world team and followed that up with a silver medal at the 2017 U.S. Open. Gonzalez made the transition to professional MMA in 2018 and won his first six fights including a stoppage over UFC veteran Roger Huerta. Unfortunately, he is looking to get back on track after dropping two of his last three fights. Rohskopf was a two-time NCAA qualifier for NC State who saw his college eligibility come to an end after the 2017 season. He made his professional MMA debut the following year and quickly moved up the ranks. Rohskopf made his UFC debut in 2020, but his fight against Austin Hubbard ended on the stool after the second round. On top of that, the UFC released him from his contract. Rohskopf has bounced back with two victories over Cage Warriors. He signed with Bellator last March and has had multiple fights fall through. Diana Avsaragova vs. Alejandra Lara Avsaragova reportedly claimed a bronze medal at the 2015 Russian cadet nationals. After two regional fights, she signed with Bellator in 2021. So far she has won all three of her fights in the promotion. Lara represents the most significant test to date for Avsaragova. Despiting riding a three-fight losing streak, she is a 15-fight veteran and fought for the Bellator flyweight championship back in 2018. Darrion Caldwell vs. Nikita Mikhailov Caldwell was a four-time ACC champion for NC State, and he famously defeated Brent Metcalf in the 149-pound final of the NCAA tournament. He made his MMA debut in 2012 and signed with Bellator two years later. In 2017, he defeated Eduardo Dantas to claim the Bellator bantamweight championship. Despite the early career success, Caldwell is currently riding a three-fight losing streak that dates back to 2020. Mikhailov signed with Bellator in 2021 and won his first two fights with the promotion. He comes into this fight after dropping a decision against UFC veteran Enrique Barzola on Bellator 278 last April. Isaiah Hokit vs. Peter Ishiguro Hokit started his collegiate wrestling career at Drexel before transferring to Fresno State. He went 28-15 with the Bulldogs before the program was dropped, once again. In 2021, Hokit made his MMA debut and lasted only 10 seconds. However, he has bounced back with a pair of stoppage victories over Theodore Macuka and Matias Nader. Ishiguro spent some time on the wrestling team at Boston University and made his professional MMA debut in 2019. He now holds a 2-1 record and is coming off a victory over Elias Anderson under the Bellator banner. The top three fights featuring Bader, Eblen and Ward will air live on CBS at 9:00pm ET. The preliminary card begins at 6:00pm ET on YouTube. Saturday: UFC Vegas 68 Rinya Nakamura vs. Toshiomi Kazama Nakamura had a very strong 2017 on the freestyle mats. He won gold at that year’s U23 World Championships and finished fifth on the senior level. Nakamura made a run at the 2020 Olympics, but after the Games were delayed, he decided to pursue a career in MMA. He turned professional in 2021 and entered the “Road to UFC” tournament last year. He won bouts over Gugun Gusman and Shohei Nose to make this final fight against Kazzama. Nakamura’s opponent has gone 10-2 and is coming off a decision in his “Road to UFC” debut. This bout will be part of the preliminary card, which begins at 10:00pm ET on ESPN+.

    Photo (L to R): Jamilah, Zaynah and Latifah McBryde. Photo by Life University. (photo courtesy of Life Athletics) Jamilah, Latifah, and Zaynah make up the McBryde sisters from Buffalo, N.Y., who have made their way to Life University in Marietta, Ga., to pursue college degrees while getting the chance to wrestle at the next level - something they never thought possible. The three women are the youngest of seven kids. Jamilah is 20, Latifah is 18 and Zaynah is just 16 years old. They had a less traditional upbringing than most of us are used to as they and all of their siblings were homeschooled from the start. With their mother giving up her career as a nurse to teach them and their father working night shifts before teaching their high school courses, the McBryde kids all finished school early and began taking college credits as soon as possible, some as early as age 11. "The beauty of homeschooling was the freedom it gave us," Latifah said. "My dad would get home from work around 8 a.m., then we would have lessons then go to the Y to swim, do jiu-jitsu, then wrestling. After all of that, we would have dinner, do some more homework, and then call it a night. That was really beneficial to get to practice those sports like that, especially when I started getting more serious about them. If we would have gone through the public school system, we wouldn't have been able to do that. We really had an advantage both academically and athletically." Starting at a young age, the McBryde sisters tried at least seven different sports, but wrestling became a family affair. Their father, Mustafa, wrestled in high school and college and led their eldest brother Muhamed, who you might be familiar with, to try it out. Muhamed was a two-year starter for the University of Buffalo, a 2019 U23 World Team member and currently a coach at West Virginia University. One day at one of Muhamed's wrestling practices, Jamilah, who was 6 years old at the time, was invited to jump in with one of the girls. "The first practice that I was invited to join, I didn't," Jamilah said. "I was so scared because the girl I would go with always beat up the boys. At the next practice, the coach asked again, and my dad had me jump onto the mat with her. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but somehow my body knew what to do. I started drilling with her and my brothers, then Latifah and Zaynah started wrestling." While wrestling came naturally to the family, some enjoyed it while others had to warm up to the idea. "I liked wrestling immediately," Latifah said. "Growing up, I had a lot of energy and was super aggressive. I was always getting in trouble at home. When we would play fight at home, I would always beat Zaynah up and Jamilah would beat me up. Wrestling really became that outlet for me, where I could be aggressive and not get in trouble." On the other hand, Zaynah said it took her nine years before she started to enjoy it. The turning point came when the sisters got the opportunity to train at Brock University in Canada from 2018 to 2020. "The two years we were training at Brock University is when I really started to enjoy it because they had a ton of women that we could go with, and I didn't have to go with my sisters only," Zaynah said. "The girls in the room were really diverse in terms of experience. There were some World Team members, some girls that had been wrestling a long time and some that were newer to the sport. We had Coach Marty Calder and [three-time Olympic medalist] Tonya Verbeek helped us. Brock is actually where we learned to tape our hijabs to our heads." Oh, I forgot to mention that the sisters come from a traditional Islamic family. As such, they are not allowed to show skin or their hair because the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, instructs men and women to dress modestly. Latifah shared that there are other reasons she wears her hijab, such as feeling empowered knowing that she isn't judged based on her appearance or shape but on who she is as well as the pride she feels representing her religion. Because of the hijab and other necessary uniform modifications needed in order for them to wrestle, the McBryde sisters never really entertained the idea of wrestling in college. In fact, Jamilah went on to play three years of college soccer while pursuing Associate's and Bachelor's degrees. She played two years at Erie Community College (NJCAA) and her third at D'Youville University (NCAA DII). Latifah continued to catch the eyes of several college coaches with her performances at USA Wrestling's Women's Nationals, which also serves as a World and Pan American Team Trials event. In 2022, she finished second in her weight class, earning her the opportunity to compete at the U20 Pan American Championships. However, due to her uniform requirements, United World Wrestling, the international wrestling federation, deemed her ineligible to compete. It seemed like wrestling at the next level would be impossible for them…until they met Ashley and Christian Flavin, the head coach and assistant coach at Life University. Ashley, who has produced four national champions, 31 All-Americans and the 2022 NWCA team title, first reached out to Mustafa inquiring about Latifah. It was during that conversation that she learned that Zaynah and Jamilah were also wrestlers. (Because Life is an NAIA institution, Jamilah still had four years of athletic eligibility left.) So the conversation continued with the Life staff recruiting all three sisters. "They told us they would fight for us," said Zaynah. "Coach Ashley said 'Even if they decide to go to a different college or not wrestle in college at all, I still want to fight for them. I want them to be able to wrestle.' And that was big for us." The Life staff proved over and over that the McBryde sisters were more than just potential athletes that could make a great team even better, they were people whose needs and opportunities really mattered. "Coach Ashley and Coach Christian did so much to understand our needs," Jamilah said. "They researched halal food, so that when we're traveling, we can eat. They learned about prayer times and how it changes throughout the year and about fasting during Ramadan. Coach Ashley even learned some Arabic. It was because they showed that they cared about us as humans and not just athletes." "Coach Ashley even ordered herself a hijab and wrestled in it just to see what it was like for us," Zaynah said. Eventually, Ashley proposed a modified uniform that was approved for college competition, which you can read about below. For Jamilah, Latifah and Zaynah, it was a no-brainer that Life University is where they belonged, so they packed up and moved nearly a thousand miles from their home. According to Ashley, all three women have made an immediate impact on the team, both athletically and in team morale. They've helped the squad to its second-straight Mid-South Conference regular season title and a third-place finish at the NWCA National Duals. Individually, Latifah (155 pounds) won titles at the Wasp Open and Soldier Salute, while Zaynah (130 pounds) took first at the Eagle Madness Open and Jamilah (143 pounds) secured top-four finishes at Eagle Madness and Soldier Salute. We can expect to see all three women competing in the postseason, which begins Feb. 23 at the Mid-South Conference Championships followed by the NAIA Championships March 10-11. While it's been a massive change, it hasn't been too much of a challenge. Latifah describes the academic transition as "surprisingly smooth," and Jamilah, who is pursuing a Master's degree, gushed about the team and the resources they have at Life. "We've got strength and conditioning coaches, dieticians, chiropractors, and even on the academic side, there are tutors and academic advisors. They all work together to help us be successful," Jamilah said. "As far as the team goes, it's awesome. Everyone is so accepting and supportive. I love traveling to competitions with them because, within two minutes of being on the bus, you're already cramping from laughter. It's just so fun." As for Zaynah, the 16-year-old, she jokingly said she's got 40 new girls to annoy, which has been a plus. All three can agree that getting to pursue a dream they never thought possible side-by-side-by-side is a pretty special experience. MODIFIED UNIFORM: The first layer is singlet, just in case any of the layers come off, their skin still won't show. Next is a rash guard top with a hood connected to it that is tailored to fit and stay on their heads. Then there is a dri-fit shirt so that it's not slippery and doesn't stretch. The shirt is tapered in to get rid of extra fabric and is tucked in and secured with Velcro, an idea that came from Ashley. The bottom starts with either leggings or knee-high socks, and on top of that is baseball pants without pockets or buttons. Then come knee pads to make sure the pants are tucked in tight at the knees so that hands can't get caught in it.

    Rutgers 125 lber Dean Peterson (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Well, the groundhog saw his shadow which means six more weeks of winter and that’s fine with me because there’s also six more weeks of wrestling left. I have no use for an early Spring when I’m sitting instead watching five televisions anyway. I’d feel like I’m wasting my weekends if it were nice out. It’s early Friday morning and it just looks cold out there right now. Don’t even bother making plans this weekend. It’s going to be freezing out and there’s 114 duals on to keep you warm. One of them is even on a baseball field. As usual, the streaming guide has you covered on where to watch so don’t forget to check that out. I was also asked some questions to answer so let’s check those out as well. If collegiate wrestling awarded a Jagger Trophy like they do with the Dan Hodge, what would it’s criteria be and who would you expect to be in the front-running for it this season? Ben Kenobi I’ve been saving this question for a rainy day and this seemed about the right time to bust it out. The only qualification is you gotta have that grit. We’re all about that grit here in New Jersey. What does it mean? Nobody really knows but it sounds cool. So, who has this mythical grit and how can you tell? You just can. Austin Gomez got that grit. Sam Latona got that grit. Marco Vespa definitely got that grit. Marcus Coleman? You know he’s got that grit. Dean Peterson got that Jersey grit, which is a whole different animal of grit. We won’t find out the real answer until March. Who’s the guy who fights his way through the backside of a bracket to finish on the podium. A Patrick McKee if you will. Those are the guys I like to see. One of my favorite things to do near the end of the NJ State tournament is find the guy who’s still alive after losing the earliest and see where he places. That’s where the grit thrives. Grit comes in various forms and I’ll be keeping my eye on all the contenders for the Gritty Hodge this year. What, if any, rule changes would you like to see happen at the NCAA level? Mat Jerms Media Trades. I want teams dealing backups and recruits for mid-season upgrades. Imagine Cael sending the Gibson brothers to Arizona State for Richie Figueroa. Alright, maybe it wouldn’t work. How about this; we immediately reward a point for riding time then reset it at neutral and the top guy can release without surrendering an escape. I don’t know. It makes sense in my head, but I’m an idiot. I’m a PSU grad ‘04, I’m going to the UNC-Pitt dual on Friday, I can’t wear Pitt gear even though I’m pulling for Pitt, right? Jkos11 Yeah dude, you’re like 40 now. Wear whatever you want. Penn State fans have no knowledge of wrestling before 2010, so they don’t even remember you. Pitt is also looking like a sneaky trophy contender this March, so get on that bandwagon while there’s still room. Jersey Jerry, Jersey Jags, or Jersey Mike’s? Pelikan Head I'll let the Jagoffs and Jaggettes decide that one. On that note, I think we will wrap it up for this week. The dog needs a walk and I’m such a wimp that I need seven layers of clothing for one walk around the block. Maybe I was wrong about the groundhog. I could use an early Spring. Have a good weekend everyone!

    Air Force 285 lber Wyatt Hendrickson (photo courtesy of SJanickiPhoto.com) The final week of the regular season. It’s been a long and winding road to get here, but we finally made it. There’s a chance that no matter the outcome of this week, your standing in the league won't change. There’s also a chance that the playoffs hinge on your team putting in an A+ performance. Depending on where you fall in these scenarios should guide you in your next moves. Meaning, if your place is set then start looking to hit the Transfer Portal for next week to maximize your potential match quantity and get ahead of the competition. On the other hand, if this is a make or break week, then you need to act in the present. Another piece of advice, be weary of Senior Days. Depending on the matchup, depending on the school, and depending on the wrestler, your Fantasy All-Star may get benched in favor of a backup senior. We like to call this, the “Respectable Sit,” and it can sometimes be unpredictable. Make sure you read the Match Notes for probables and listen to the podcasts extra close. In the world of fantasy wrestler season standings, 285 Mason Parris (MICH) remained on top and extended his lead down the stretch. Parris currently has a 10 Fpts lead over second place 285 Wyatt Hendrickson (AF) and 13 Fpts over third place 149 John Millner (APP).

    2x NCAA champion Carter Starocci (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Let’s face it, it’s a great time to be a college wrestling fan. We’re living in an incredible era of generational wrestling talent. We might even be a little spoiled. The first NCAA Tournament I attended in-person was in 2007 at the Palace at Auburn Hills. Subbar, if you’re talking worst sites for an NCAA Tournament, Auburn Hills is competing in the semifinals for that dubious distinction, at least. Anyhow, it wasn’t until the 2012 national tournament that I saw a wrestler win his third NCAA title, when Kyle Dake did so. Since that point, there have been 10 more wrestlers who have won at least three national championships. This figure could increase in 2023 as three wrestlers are seeking a third NCAA title. For comparison’s sake, there were only four, three, or four-time NCAA champions from the previous ten years (2001-11). Also, there’s a good likelihood that we’ll see two wrestlers win their fourth national titles in Tulsa a month and a half from now. This mark has only been hit by four other wrestlers, ever. What I allude to is that seeing all-time greats wrestling every week, tends to make us numb to greatness. This came to a head on Friday night as people were underwhelmed by the action and score totals during the much-anticipated #1 versus #2 dual between Penn State and Iowa. For most college wrestlers, even most national title contenders, it’s hard to win matches. It’s hard to score points. Just because you’re a national champion or highly-ranked wrestler, you can’t just score at will against top-notch competition. Part of what took the college wrestling scene by storm during the initial run of team titles from Penn State was the ability of their two best wrestlers, David Taylor and Ed Ruth, to put bonus points on the board. During Taylor’s first NCAA title run in 2012, he tallied four falls en route to the national finals and a 22-7 tech fall in the championship bout. Ruth had falls in his first two bouts, an 11-4 decision in the quarters, a tech in the semis and a 13-2 major decision in the finals. Wrestlers don’t typically post bonus points in the NCAA semis and finals. None of the 2022 NCAA finals featured a match with bonus points. The semis saw two major decisions and a fall. The lone fall came late in regulation during the 174 lb contest between Mekhi Lewis and Logan Massa, which wasn’t a blowout situation, but rather a tightly-contested bout. Another factor to think about is the mentality of wrestlers in high-pressure situations. As we get deeper into tournaments, the stakes rise, and wrestlers tend to get more tentative. They focus more on getting the “W” rather than putting on a show. The same goes for a dual meet that pits the top two teams in the nation against each other. As we saw in the 133 lb match, one poor shot/great counter-attack turns a decision into a fall. That is why we should appreciate the Spencer’s, Stieber’s, Gable’s, Yianni’s, Zain’s, and Nickal’s other greats when we see them. By the way, Taylor and Gable Steveson don’t even count for our list of 11 three-time national champions since 2012. Circling back to Friday’s dual with Penn State and Iowa. I think that the misconception that certain wrestlers are “boring” “too defensive” or “don’t open up enough” or whatever labels they wear, is because their most widely viewed matches are the NCAA semis or finals or a Penn State/Iowa dual. So basically, they have a hard time scoring points in bunches during the most high-pressure situations imaginable against the best competition. Wow, tough crowd! What’s more unusual? The best wrestler in the country fighting tooth and nail to get by the second-best wrestler by a point or the best wrestler throttling the second-best wrestler? The former is more common, but we tend to get upset if we don’t see the latter? Singling out some of the wrestlers that have garnered such labels in the past (or currently). Penn State’s Roman Bravo-Young and Carter Starocci. For Iowa, let’s use Patrick Kennedy. RBY has bonus points in nine of his ten matches this season. The outlier? Dylan Ragusin of Michigan. The two have tangled four times already in their careers, with Bravo-Young winning each. Each time, the margin has gotten closer. That’s natural between talented wrestlers, particularly one like Ragusin that is of All-American caliber and has a top-notch coaching situation. Last year, RBY had a bonus point rate of almost 55%. Aside from the unicorns of the wrestling world like Nickal, Taylor, and Ruth, that’s pretty freaking good. Digging deeper into those numbers, three of his decisions came against Austin DeSanto. The two wrestled eight times throughout their careers and DeSanto was always a title contender. It seems natural to think they’ll wrestle one-takedown matches during bouts, six, seven, and eight. Ok, now throw in two more decisions against Ragusin, who we’ve already discussed. Another decision against Michael McGee (6-2). A four-point win against the eventual fourth-place finisher, seems about right to me. The two outliers in the group were an 11-5 win over Joey Olivieri and an 8-3 victory over Jason Shaner in his season debut. 11-5, in my opinion, is generally not a close match and you put up 11 points. I’m not sure about the Shaner match, but it could be his first time down to weight, but again, he scored eight points. And finally, we have the NCAA finals bout against a Senior world medalist in Daton Fix. Sorry, he didn’t score more than three points. By the way, Fix hasn’t lost a collegiate bout to an opponent other than RBY since 2019. Moving on to Starocci. He’s scored bonus points in 9 of 11 matches this year. Starocci’s two decision wins were the only time he’s been held under double digits (excluding pins, which are great). Both of Starocci’s decision wins were in duals against the #2 and #3 teams in the country. I’m sure wrestlers want to win, but they also want to limit damage and risk in such tightly contested duals. Looking back at Starocci’s 2021-22 season, he had a slightly higher bonus rate than Bravo-Young. And Starocci’s decisions. 10-3 over Hayden Hidlay. Come on! Hidlay only gave up ten points three times in his career. Once came in a wild NCAA consolation loss to Jacori Teemer (18-12) and the other time was when he narrowly missed a tech fall (26-12). Others that don’t concern me: 6-1 over Mikey Labriola, 10-3 over Adam Kemp, both at the NCAA Tournament. How about two close wins over Logan Massa? A tiebreaker win over Michael Kemerer in Carver-Hawkeye Arena? Another that can be easily explained is a 3-2 victory over Chris Foca at the 2021 Collegiate Duals. Foca has proven to be, when healthy, a high All-American threat and has given Mekhi Lewis fits the last two years. The only outlier for Starocci is an 8-3 win over Dom Solis of Maryland. Again, he scored eight points. Now, let’s move over to Iowa and Patrick Kennedy. Generally, when perusing a box score and you see a 2-1 win in tiebreakers that usually can elicit an “Ewww.” But watching Friday’s match, Kennedy was the aggressor and extremely close to a pair of takedowns. One might have even been a takedown as he locked up a cradle. Give Alex Facundo some credit for his defensive wizardry. By the way, both have plenty of eligibility left, so they might be in some low-scoring bouts for years to come. During Kennedy’s most recent loss, he fell to Dean Hamiti in a contest that featured great flurries and some situations with scoring potential. For the rest of Kennedy’s season, he put up double-digits in eight of his 13 wins; along with two pins and a 9-6 decision. The lesson with Kennedy’s matches is “Don’t be a sucker for reading box scores.” Just because it wasn’t 14-12, doesn’t mean there wasn’t action. For our other examples, I’d advise critics to check out these wrestlers WrestleStat pages. Look at their entire seasons and careers, who they wrestled and when. I’ll say it. The Penn State/Iowa dual was kind of a dud (action-wise), based on the prematch hype and the talent on both sides. That being said, there shouldn’t be a rush to judgment about certain wrestlers being boring or sweeping changes needed to revamp the entire sport and its scoring. I’m always open to listening to suggestions, but don’t lose your mind over one match. What I’d recommend is appreciating the unicorns that can put up bonus points against All-Americans and throughout the NCAA tournament. Remember they are extremely rare. At the same time, don’t think less of the other great wrestlers that we have just because they can’t score at will against great competition. Pay attention to all of their matches. Maybe they don’t score ten points a match against an opponent from Iowa, but they likely do against an unranked, non-conference opponent. Love the unicorns, but appreciate the greats, too.

    NCAA finalists Daton Fix (left) and Mason Parris (photos courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) If you are a fan of high-level wrestling in unusual atmospheres then this event is for you. On Friday, No. 12 Oklahoma State will host No. 6 Michigan, at Globe Life Field, the home of the MLB's Texas Rangers in the "Bout at the Ballpark". Last season, the Cowboys dropped a dual against Iowa in the stadium, and they are underdogs going into this bout. However, the match actually sets up quite well for Oklahoma State, and Michigan is dealing with some injuries at key weight classes. The following is a weight-by-weight preview of the dual. The dual will broadcast live on the MatScouts Rokfin Page. This is not a pay-per-view event so you can watch if you already subscribe to InterMat or MatScouts on Rokfin. 125: No. 20 Jack Medley (Michigan) vs. Reece Witcraft (Oklahoma State) Medley wrestled in only one dual prior to the holiday break, but he has assumed the starting role in the second semester. Since January, he has gone 6-2 including victories over Tristan Lujan (Michigan State) and No. 7 Eric Barnett (Wisconsin). Last weekend, Medley dropped a 4-3 decision against No. 10 Malik Heinselman (Ohio State) on Friday before receiving a forfeit against Maryland on Sunday. Trevor Mastrogiovanni was the starter at this weight for the Cowboys until recently. During his absence, his main substitute has been true freshman Zach Blankenship who has an 8-5 overall record, but is 0-4 in dual meet matches. Earlier this week, coach John Smith announced on his radio show that Reece Witcraft has cut down from 133 pounds and will make his 125-pound debut this weekend. Witcraft qualified for the NCAA tournament at 133 pounds as a true freshman in 2020. Since then he has mostly been a spot starter. Last season, he competed in a pair of open tournaments at 125 before moving back to 133 for this season. Witcraft holds a 14-4 record on the year and last wrestled at the Southern Scuffle where he went 3-2 with losses coming against Zach Redding (Iowa State) and Connor Brown (Missouri). Prediction: Medley decision over Witcraft 133: No. 12 Dylan Ragusin (Michigan) vs. No. 2 Daton Fix (Oklahoma State) Ragusin has qualified for the last two NCAA tournaments, but he is still looking to lock down a spot on the All-American podium. His season so far has been filled with both ups and downs. In Big Ten duals, Ragusin has picked up victories over No. 30 Taylor LaMont (Wisconsin) and No. 16 Joe Heilmann (Rutgers), but he has also dropped matches against No. 18 Rayvon Foley (Michigan State) and No. 9 Jesse Mendez (Ohio State). Fix has been his normal dominant self this season. He holds a 16-0 record and won the title at the Southern Scuffle. Last weekend, he knocked off some of the best contenders in the Big 12 as he bested both No. 11 Kyle Biscoglia (Northern Iowa) and Zach Redding (Iowa State). The three-time NCAA finalist will almost certainly find himself in title contention once again this year. There is a chance that this match is a low-scoring affair. Ragusin usually tried to slow it down against higher-level competition, and Fix, at times, is more than willing to play that game. Unfortunately for Ragusin, this strategy will likely not pay off against Fix. Look for the Cowboy to bring home a decision for his squad. Prediction: Fix decision over Ragusin 141: No. 25 Cole Mattin (Michigan) vs. No. 22 Carter Young (Oklahoma State) Mattin has built a 12-6 record so far this season, but he likely wants to change his current momentum as he has lost three-straight matches. The losing streak began with a 7-2 decision against No. 5 Beau Barlett (Penn State), and Mattin then dropped a pair of two-point matches against No. 18 Joey Olivieri (Rutgers) and No. 19 Dylan D'Emilio (Ohio State). Young switched from Northwestern to Oklahoma State at the very last minute last school year. He qualified for the NCAA tournament and finished with a 12-9 record. Young has gone 9-8 this year and has taken his share of high-profile losses. However, he picked up an impressive 3-0 victory over former highly ranked recruit No. 24 Casey Swiderski (Iowa State). That victory over Swiderski might be a sign that he is rounding into form just in time for the tournament season. Mattin will have a tough time breaking his current streak here as Young appears to be headed in the opposite direction. Prediction: Young decision over Mattin 149: Fidel Mayora (Michigan) vs. No. 20 Victor Voinovich (Oklahoma State) Michigan's starter No. 21 Chance Lamer has been out of action with an injury recently. Mayora has been filling in and has done quite well under the circumstances. He has gone 2-2 in four dual matches, but the two losses are against No. 13 Shayne Van Ness (Penn State) and No. 3 Sammy Sasso (Ohio State). In his last match, he scored a 12-0 major decision over Joe Fisk (Maryland). Voinovich came to Oklahoma State as a highly regarded recruit, and he has joined the lineup after going 16-1 as a redshirt last season. In his first year as a starter, he has gone 11-5, but he enters this match after dropping back-to-back bouts against No. 14 Colin Realbuto (Northern Iowa) and No. 10 Paniro Johnson (Iowa State). Voinovich has taken some lumps so far this season, but he has shown that he is able to win matches at this level. This might turn out to be a swing bout of the dual, but Oklahoma State should be able to put it in the win column. Prediction: Voinovich decision over Mayora 157: No. 10 Will Lewan (Michigan) vs. No. 14 Kaden Gfeller (Oklahoma State) Lewan's memorable run through last year's NCAA tournament highlighted his ability to win close matches. This year, he has once again found himself in tight contests as three of his last six matches have gone to overtime. Unfortunately, Lewan has dropped overtime matches against No. 12 Chase Saldate (Michigan State) and No. 9 Levi Haines (Penn State) before bouncing back with a three-match winning streak. Last weekend, Lewan bested No. 25 Paddy Gallagher (Ohio State) in sudden victory before decking Maryland's Kevin Schork on Sunday. Gfeller qualified for the NCAA tournament at 149 pounds in 2019 and 2022. He has moved up to 157 pounds this year and has gone 13-4. He has picked up wins over No. 17 Brayton Lee (Minnesota) and No. 24 Cesar Alvan (Columbia). Last weekend, Gfeller dropped an overtime match against No. 20 Derek Holschlag (Northern Iowa) before bouncing back with a 3-1 decision over No. 27 Jason Kraisser (Iowa State). This match will almost certainly be close. If he chooses to turn on the offense, Lewan should be able to run down a takedown. It will be more when and how he chooses to pick his spots, but his strategic prowest should be enough for a victory here. Prediction: Lewan decision over Gfeller 165: No.5 Cameron Amine/Alex Wesselman (Michigan) vs. No. 24 Wyatt Sheets (Oklahoma State) Amine shockingly pinned No. 12 Carson Kharchla (Ohio State) in overtime for one of his biggest victories of the season, but he also appeared to injure his knee in the match. He was not in the lineup for Michigan's next match against Maryland. Amine is a two-time All-American and appears to have taken a step forward this season with victories over No. 27 Caleb Fish (Michigan State) and No. 6 Dean Hamiti (Wisconsin). Against Maryland, Michigan sent out Alex Wesselman who has wrestled only three matches so far this season and is still looking for his first victory in college. He suffered a fall against Maryland's John Martin Best. After qualifying for the last three NCAA tournaments at 157 pounds, Sheets has moved up to 165 pounds for what appears to be his last season of college wrestling. The transition has been rough at times, and he has gone 10-8 on the year. Last weekend, he picked up a second-period fall against No. 13 Austin Yant (Northern Iowa) and kept No. 2 David Carr (Iowa State) to a two-point decision. Amine's injury status will say a lot about the result here. If he is able to go, he should be the favorite against Sheets. However, if he stays out of the lineup, Sheets should be able to handle Wesselman. Prediction: Sheets major decision Wesselman 174: No. 28 Max Maylor (Michigan) vs. No. 6 Dustin Plott (Oklahoma State) Maylor was forced into a starting role as a redshirt freshman back in 2020. He finished that season with a 5-18 record and failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament. After two seasons as a backup, Maylor has reentered the starting lineup this year and has shown clear improvements. His record currently stands at 15-5 and is coming off a weekend where he scored a 10-7 decision over Dominic Solis (Maryland). Plott finished sixth last year to become an All-American for the first time. He has somewhat quietly put together a very strong campaign this year. Plott holds a 15-1 record with his only defeat coming in an upset against No. 22 Aaron Olmos (Oregon State). The Cowboy has picked up wins over No. 11 Bailee O'Reilly (Minnesota), No. 31 Andrew Berreyesa (Northern Colorado) and No. 10 Peyton Mocco (Missouri). Despite Maylor's improvements, Plott will likely be too much in this match. Outside of the one defeat, Plott has looked like a contender at this weight this season. The Cowboy enters the match as the heavy favorite and bonus points are not out of the question if he can build an early lead. Prediction: Plott major decision over Maylor 184: No. 9 Matt Finesilver (Michigan) vs. No. 11 Travis Wittlake (Oklahoma State) Finesilver transferred to Michigan after three NCAA qualifying seasons for Duke at 174 pounds. He has moved up to 184 pounds at the new school, and he has had plenty of positive results. Finesilver's record currently stands at 16-5, and he has picked up victories over No. 15 Brian Soldano (Rutgers), No. 14 Layne Malczewski (Michigan State), and No. 13 Gavin Kane (North Carolina). Wittlake finished fourth at the NCAA tournament in 2021 to become an All-American at 165 pounds. He returned last season and failed to qualify after going 0-2 at the Big 12 tournament. For this season, Wittlake surprisingly moved up 184 pounds. At the new weight, he has gone 12-2 and claimed the title at the Southern Scuffle. Wittlake's two losses have come against the highest-ranked wrestlers he has faced Munoz and No. 10 Isaiah Salazar (Minnesota). Finesilver represents an interesting test here. If Wittlake wants to return to the high end of the podium, he will likely need to win multiple of these types of matches. The result here will say a lot about his prospects moving forward since Finesilver is not the type to roll over. Prediction: Wittlake decision over Finesilver 197: Brendin Yatooma (Michigan) vs. No. 19 Luke Surber (Oklahoma State) 197 pounds has been a tough weight for Michigan this season. Yatooma has been the starter most of the way, and his record currently stands at 5-9. Excluding a forfeit he picked up against Maryland, Yatooma won only one match in the month of January. One bright spot came when he put a scare into No. 21 Cameron Caffey (Michigan State) before dropping the bout in rideouts. Surber bumped up to heavyweight last season and qualified for the NCAA tournament as a redshirt freshman. He is back down at 197 pounds this season and has a 13=5 record. Surber was riding a four-match winning streak before dropping a 7-2 decision against No. 5 Yonger Bastida (Iowa State) last weekend. Earlier this year, the Oklahoma State representative picked up victories over former Cowboy Keegan Moore (Oklahoma). Oklahoma State should be expected to pick up points in this match. Surber enters as the favorite, but Yatooma showed against Caffey that in the right circumstances, he can threaten an upset. The Cowboys are likely hoping to add bonus points here, but Yatooma has only given up major decisions against No. 17 Gavin Hoffman (Ohio State) and No. 4 Max Dean (Penn State). Prediction: Surber decision over Yatooma 285: No. 1 Mason Parris (Michigan) vs. No. 24 Konner Doucet (Oklahoma State) With Gable Steveson leaving college wrestling for the WWE, Parris has stepped into the role of dominant heavyweight. After finishing fifth at the last NCAA tournament, Parris has cemented himself as the favorite this year with a 21-0 record and several signature wins. The biggest to date came against No. 2 Greg Kervliet (Penn State) who defeated Parris at the last tournament. In the rematch, Parris took a 3-1 decision. With Surber moving down this season, there was a spot for Doucet to join the starting lineup. After a pair of seasons as a backup, he has gone 13-4 to start the season. All four of his losses have been one-point losses with two coming in overtime. Doucet went 4-1 in the month of January. He had been riding a winning streak before dropping a 3-2 decision against No. 15 Tyrell Gordon (Northern Iowa) last weekend. Parris has been on a mission this season. Not only should the odds heavily favor him in this contest, but he also will almost certainly put bonus points on the board. Prediction: Parris fall over Doucet Team Score Prediction: Oklahoma State (23-12)

    Malik Heinselman (right) and Jack Medley at Friday's dual (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) This week had a Rivalry Week theme in the Big Ten as No. 1 Penn State and No. 2 Iowa clashed in State College, Ohio State dominated the state of Michigan and Indiana laid claim to The Hoosier State by beating Purdue. Here are our takeaways from the week, and BIG Awards at the bottom! Penn State shows why it’s the team to beat with a win over Iowa All the hype preceding the No. 1 vs. No 2 clash between Penn State and Iowa last Friday paid off, as the 15,998 fans inside the BJC tied the NCAA record for the largest crowd for an indoor dual meet, and the 388,000 who tuned in on the Big Ten Network set a new viewership record. While some fans - and coaches - would have liked to have seen action in the individual matches (the team totaled 18 takedowns between them), the overall takeaway from the Nittany Lions’ 23-14 win – their 39th consecutive – was clear: Penn State is going to be pretty darn difficult to beat in March. Sure, the Nittany Lions have some work to do. But as head coach Cael Sanderson said, “Iowa always does a good job of showing you what you need to work on.” Penn State’s younger wrestlers, particularly at 141 and 149, weren’t very dynamic on offense – or really offensive at all. Aside from the opening exchange, Beau Bartlett didn’t get a good shot in against Real Woods until the third period. They also struggled to get out from bottom. Max Murin rode Shayne Van Ness for all but about 30 seconds of the second period, and not being able to get out after being taken down early in the first period proved costly for Bartlett in his 4-1 loss. But those weaker moments were countered by two massive wins to close out the dual. Penn State’s Max Dean used a punishing third-period rideout to extend his record against Jacob Warner to 3-0. Despite the close 2-0 score, Dean never appeared in danger and made it seem less likely that Warner will flip the result of their 2022 NCAA final. At heavyweight, Greg Kerkvliet bounced back big from his loss to Michigan’s Mason Parris the week prior, recording his first official win (not counting his 8-5 win at the NWCA All-Star Classic) over Tony Cassioppi, 4-1. The victory was significant, as it shows Kerkvliet’s progression, having lost by major decision to Cassioppi in their first matchup, a decision, then in sudden victory, now a win. It’s also significant, as this match is likely to be a semifinal come March. Penn State’s other three NCAA champs (in addition to Dean) took care of business – although Carter Starocci had to work a little harder for it. True freshman Levi Haines also officially came out of redshirt, recording his 15th win of the season. Despite their losses Friday, Penn State is still poised to score more points at 149 and 165 than it did last year. And while Bartlett can’t make up for the points lost by Nick Lee’s graduation, he should be an All-American contender. The bottom line is – it looks like the Nittany Lions are well on their way to their 10 NCAA title in 12 seasons. Indiana breaks 12-year drought against Purdue to own the state The Indiana Hoosiers traveled into enemy territory on Sunday to face intrastate rival Purdue, and came away with a 17-16 victory – its first over the Boilermakers since 2010. This also marks the first time Indiana has had three conference wins since the 2015-16 season. “We’ve been wanting this week for a while. We knew it’s been circled in our calendar,” coach Angel Escobedo told local media ahead of the dual. “We haven’t beat them in a long time. They’re a great team but our guys really want to bring it.” It was a battle throughout – with each team taking five bouts – but D.J. Washington’s major decision ended up giving the Hoosiers the 1-point edge at the end, after trailing the entire dual. The dual didn’t start out great for the Hoosiers, as they dropped the first three matches – including one they were favored in on paper and a major decision at 141 – to find themselves in a 10-0 hole. Graham Rooks earned a 12-2 major decision over the flexible Christian Navida to stop the bleeding. But it was junior Nick South’s sudden victory win over Cooper Noehre at 165 that really turned the tide in the Hoosiers’ favor. After ending regulation tied at 1 apiece, South picked Noehre up about a minute into the extra period and body slammed him onto the mat for the decider. South beat his chest and flexed on the home crowd as his bench went crazy. Washington added to the momentum with a 19-11 major, and Gabe Sollars had a clutch 4-0 win at 197 in his collegiate debut. With his team down by two, it was up to heavyweight Jacob Bullock to deliver the win. It wasn’t flashy, but an escape and a gritty third-period rideout did the trick and cemented the win. To truly understand the significance of this dual win, you have to understand where Indiana was just 10 months ago after the close of the 2021-22 season. A recent article in the IndyStar does a fantastic job of detailing how dire the situation in the Indiana wrestling room was last year after a 3-8 season and finishing dead last at the Big Ten Championships. Coaches and wrestlers alike felt frustrated and even a little embarrassed. But an honest team meeting and some journaling helped Escobedo gain perspective, according to the IndyStar (Seriously, read the article). The Hoosiers’ buzz from winning isn’t likely to last too long, as they host the top-ranked Nittany Lions next. But regardless of what might happen then, Indiana has already proved it can be competitive in the toughest conference in the country and give its fans something to cheer about. Compared to last year, that’s a win. The Dual - Michigan versus Ohio State It was Friday night and I could feel the tension building in the gym. Warmups were taking place with a special kind of intensity. The athletes are drilling their favorite takedowns, communicating with their partners to get the feel that they want, and trying to iron things out before the competition begins. This is all rather impressive, especially when you consider they’re 10U Novice wrestlers. I was at my son’s dual meet, so I didn’t get to watch The Dual until after that was finished. I made sure that I could stay off of Twitter though, because I was not about to spoil what I figured would be a really close dual, when I thought I would be able to keep from hearing about the results before watching them. Largely I was able to avoid any specific spoilers, but I did get an “Ohio State looked good tonight” text. To their credit, they really did. They won the first four matches, including a one-point win for Heinselman at 125, a gritty OT win at 133 from true freshman Jesse Mendez over Dylan Ragusin, and a late third-period takedown for D’Emilio over Cole Mattin at 141. Those first three matches could have gone either way, but 149 was a one-sided affair with Sasso getting a technical fall over Fidel Mayora stepping into the lineup for the injured Chance Lamer. Michigan grabbed two OT victories with Will Lewan winning in OT against Paddy Gallagher, and Cam Amine getting the rare pin in rideouts over Kharchla. It didn’t come without issue, as Amine appeared to tweak an injury earlier in that match. Ohio State got back to their winning ways, winning three of the last four matchups (174-197), before giving up a pin at Heavyweight. That pin for Mason had him surpass Sean Bormett in the all-time pins list for Michigan. If you’re Ohio State, you’re happy because winning is better than losing (obviously). Additionally though, they took 7 of the 10 weights, and were two OT losses away from taking 9/10. That’s clearly impressive to do, but in a rivalry dual to do that on the road is pretty intense. They finished out the weekend with another decisive victory over Michigan State in Columbus. This dual included many more bonus point wins for the Buckeyes as well, which is a nice way to roll into their next dual, this Friday night as they host the number 1 ranked Nittany Lions of Penn State. If you’re Michigan you’re unhappy with the result (again, obvious), but I’m not one to dwell on negatives. Positives include being just as close to winning many of those matches as losing. Again, Michigan only had one loss that wasn’t a regular decision (Sasso over Mayora), but the rest were close enough. Additionally, both Max Maylor (174) and Matt Finesilver (184) showed some improvements against Smith and Romero, who they each lost to earlier in the season at the MSU Open. Still losses, but closing the gap is positive. Lastly, we got a chance to see Rylan Rogers who stepped in at 197, losing 5-3 to returning All-American Gavin Hoffman of Ohio State. That’s encouraging because Rogers is a true freshman, so he can get in this extra match and not burn his redshirt season with the new rules in place that allow that. Even better, Rogers had competed at 184 earlier this year, so hanging with a guy like Hoffman up a weight is solid. I was able to catch up with Max Maylor after the Maryland dual (which we will get to next), and here’s what he said about his season to this point and his goals moving forward; Max Maylor After the Maryland Win Michigan hosts Maryland Michigan wasn’t finished this weekend though. Saturday they hosted the Maryland Terrapins. I was actually in town for this dual, so it was great to see both Maryland and Michigan competing in person and grabbed some interviews as well. Maryland had wrestled on Friday night as well, losing to Michigan State in East Lansing. Maryland who had solid wins earlier this year over Pitt and Oklahoma, are now struggling back in the B1G schedule. It’s important to have perspective, and that’s what we will do here. They were missing several starters in the lineup due to illness or injury, and you overlap that with a tough road trip, and it’s not a recipe for success. Still, Maryland had a pin at 165 with John Martin-Best getting the win over Alex Wessellman, and Dom Solis and Kal Miller had close matches at 174 and 141, but missing Braxton Brown (125), Jaxon Smith (197), and Ethen Miller (149), is going to limit this team's potential. We certainly hope they’ll be healthy and back into the lineup soon, as it will have a dramatic impact on their overall team results. Here’s a quick interview I got with Maryland Head Coach Alex Clemsen. Maryland Head Coach Alex Clemsen After the Michigan Dual If you’re Michigan, you’re probably happy to get this dual at this time. As mentioned before, they too are dealing with some injuries, and were able to give some guys some rest during this dual. Just in time also, because this Friday Michigan travels to Texas to wrestle Oklahoma State at Bout at the Ballpark. Michigan had 8 duals during January, so having one dual this weekend has got to be something they are looking forward to. Not that wrestling Oklahoma State is ever easy, but having a single dual to focus on must be nice. Make sure you check out this event on Rokfin! Gophers look especially Golden on Senior Night I called it. During my breakdown of some of the parity in the weights last week, I referenced how Jakob Bergeland was undoubtedly going to get a win over Danny Pucino of Illinois. He did, but what I didn’t predict was that it was going to be a major decision, leaving me with nothing but more questions. Anyway, Minnesota got a nice win over Illinois on Senior Night this last weekend. Illinois has proven this year that they have depth and can beat anyone, but not on this night. I always wonder how much Senior night has an impact on the wrestling, and I’m sure it depends on the athlete, but Minnesota was ready to go on Saturday. I mentioned the major decision from Bergeland, but most of the Minnesota seniors (they have quite a few) got wins other than Michial Foy (who dropped a match to Zac Braunagel in rideouts, which is still respectable), and Jake Gliva who dropped the match to Lucas Byrd. Included in those Senior wins, was Bailee O’Reilly, who beat Edmond Ruth and ended his 20-match win streak. A theme from the Gophers in this one was quick takedowns and quickly accumulating riding time, which was a big part of O’Reilly’s win here. Edmond made a push at the end, but ultimately wasn’t able to finish out the comeback. The other two upsets the Gophers got in this one was Cael Carlson, who has been splitting time at 165 with Andrew Sparks. Cael jumped into the lineup and got a solid win over Danny Braunagel, who was ranked 19th at that time. Cael has proven when he’s had his chance to be a gamer, and today was no different. At a time in the season when a lot of teams are dealing with injuries in their lineups, and grinding through each weekend one dual at a time, this was an impressive showing from a gritty Minnesota squad. Next up they have Iowa on BTN this coming Friday night, February 3rd at 9pm EST. S/O: Coaching milestones: A couple Big Ten coaches earned career milestones this week as Nebraska’s Mark Manning earned his 300th win and Penn State’s Cael Sanderson checked off his 100th conference victory while with the Nittany Lions. With the Huskers’ 24-11 win over Wisconsin, Manning now holds a career record of 300-129-5. The win over Iowa was also Sanderson’s 230th overall. When asked about the significance after the dual, Sanderson replied: “It just means I’ve been around for a long time.” Ohio State’s Tom Ryan earned his 300th career victory against Lehigh at the Collegiate Duals on Dec. 20, and now has a 305-146-2 record. AWARDS!!! Welcome to the third installment of our BIG Awards section, where we each hand out weekly honors for both of our picks for the biggest upset, win and consequential move of the teams we cover. Congrats to the winners! Kevin’s picks: B1Ggest Upset: Bailee O’Reilly comes through on Senior Night. Bailee O’Reilly really got it done this weekend! As mentioned above, there were some pretty solid upsets as part of that dual win for the Golden Gophers, but I think this one has the most impact on the postseason. 174 in the B1G is loaded and has about as many studs as you can have. You’ve got Starocci (PSU) and Labriola (Nebraska) at the top, followed by Ethen Smith of Ohio State, then you had Edmond Ruth. This win gets Bailee into the four spot in the B1G (at the moment), and he’s in a position to hold onto that spot. Labriola has Ruth and Smith coming up, so if O’Reilly can hold on through the rest of the regular season he can keep climbing in the seeding. He has to get through Nelson Brands this weekend, but this win helps him to be in position for the B1G Tournament. B1Ggest Win: Saldate continues his B1G run. Here’s the thing, when we are asked to write about breakout candidates before the season starts, you really hope they work out. I mean, sure I had some that didn’t pan out (yet…), but I’m going to keep shouting the ones I got right from the rooftops. This is one of them. Saldate has been on a solid run since the B1G schedule has started. His only B1G loss to this point was to Derek Gilcher of Indiana at the Reno Tournament of Champions, a loss he’ll have the chance to avenge on February 10th. He has wins over Lewan (Michigan), Lee (Minnesota), Barraclough (Penn State), and most recently a win over Paddy Gallagher (Ohio State). This is the B1Ggest win to me because he only has Mike Carr of Illinois next week, and a rematch with Derek Gilcher, the following week. If Saldate finishes this run, he’ll have a legitimate chance at a top 4 seed at the B1G Tournament. He hasn’t wrestled Peyton Robb of Nebraska, Kendall Coleman of Purdue, or Levi Haines of Penn State, but that’s not his fault. Anyone lined up across from him, he’s knocked them down. Go Green! B1Ggest Move: Cam you believe it! Cam Amine has beaten Kharchla before, and I assumed he was going to get the win this time, but then I’m watching the match and it looks like Cam gets hurt while doing the splits trying to avoid a takedown in OT. Walking back to the center you can see on his face that he’s dealing with something, and a lesser man would have been able to justify taking the L there. Not Cam though. I don’t know how much of that was playing possum, or if he just timed the roll perfectly, but regardless Kharchla is on bottom, tries to roll through to get an escape and Cam completely takes the pressure off for a second, just in time to pounce on him as he pauses on his back for a moment. That was a solid pin in a dual that was getting away from the Wolverines. You’ll notice a theme to these awards, B1G Tournament seeding. With Facundo taking the L to Patrick Kennedy this weekend, and Cam having the chance at Kennedy on February 10th, he could put himself in position to remain the #1 seed. Facundo still has Kharchla this Friday, which will help put more clarity on how that will turn out. Lauren’s picks B1Ggest upset: No. 21 Gavin Hoffman (OSU) over No. 14 Cam Caffey (MSU) It might not have been the biggest upset as far as rankings are concerned (this late into the season, it’s rarer to have major upsets), but then-No. 21 Gavin Hoffman’s 3-2 decision over then-No. 14 Cam Caffey was a nice win for the Buckeye senior in a season where he’s taken some difficult losses. A first-period takedown on a low single was the difference maker for Hoffman, who won the bout 3-2. Caffey had won the only previous matchup between the pair, 3-2 in 2021. With the win, Hoffman improved to 15-4 and jumped Caffey in the latest InterMat rankings on Tuesday, moving up to No. 17. The victory should help give the Buckeye a boost of confidence before heading into Friday’s matchup with defending NCAA champ Max Dean. B1Ggest win: Greg Kerkvliet flips the script on Tony Cassioppi In their fourth official matchup, Kerkvliet finally earned his first win (4-1) over Iowa’s Cassioppi. The significance isn’t just that Kerkliet won, it’s how he did it. Kerkvliet scored a takedown less than a minute into the match, and the looks on the faces of the Iowa bench told you all you needed to know – it was pretty much over at that point. A second-period rideout and an escape in the third did it for the Nittany Lion. There’s plenty of wrestling to be done this season, and these two could very well face each other twice more, but this does feel like a turning point in the rivalry. After the dual, Kerkvliet credited his improvements to losing last week. “It showed me the things I have to do,” Kerkvliet said. “So, I hate losing, but Mason Parris showed me the things I have to do for March. So, it was good.” B1Ggest move: Marco Vespa cradles Spencer Lee … for a second Yes, it was in a losing effort but Vespa’s low single off the starting whistle into a cradle against the top wrestler at the weight class deserves a nod. Coming out like that in his collegiate dual debut in front of 15,998 fans against a wrestler who’s poised to be one of the greatest to ever do it took a lot of … let’s say guts. Of course, Lee avoided giving up back points, hit a reversal and quickly ended things with four tilts. But the Bryce Jordan Center fans on their feet for a loss showed the effort was appreciated. It also kept what was almost an assured pin for the Hawkeyes off the board, allowing Penn State to lead 6-5 after RBY’s pin at 133 pounds. “(It) brought a little excitement there for … a second,” Sanderson said.

    Campbell 197 lber Levi Hopkins (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) The season keeps on keeping on and I’ve got the latest #SoConWR stories from this past week: Chattanooga bested Presbyterian in Clinton on Friday, 28-15. Presbyterian’s Ty Chittum (165) recorded a fall against Jackson Hurst, followed by wins at 184, 197, and 125 for the Blue Hose. The Upset of the evening was at 184 - Cordel Duhart won a close 4-3 bout over #26 Matthew Waddell. Bonus points for the Mocs were scored from #11 Rocky Jordan (174), Logan Andrew (285), and Eli Knight (133). Bellarmine beat VMI 20-19 - both teams had 5 wins apiece, and the Knights edged the Keydets with bonus point wins at 149 and 157. Zac Cowan (149) posted a technical fall, while Tavius Haley (157) pinned Job Chishko (VMI). VMI’s Zach Brown (184) recorded a fall over Kennedy Wyatt, boasting one of the two bonus-point wins for the Keydets. Campbell downed Presbyterian and Davidson in back-to-back duals - winning 36-9 and 43-3. Presbyterian picked up two impressive wins against the Camels - at 125 Dom Chavez downed #25 Anthony Molton 10-3, while Zach Wells (174) pinned Riley Augustine. The Camels picked up bonus point wins at 133, 141, 157, 197 (forfeit), and heavyweight. Davidson’s lone win against Campbell came in again at 174 - Jaden Hardrick took down Riley Augustine in sudden victory overtime. Campbell again brought the heat with bonus point wins at heavyweight (forfeit), 125, 133, 141, 149, 165, and 197. The Camels packed up and headed to Lexington to wrestle against the VMI Keydets - winning 25-9. Jon Hoover (174, VMI) won in sudden victory overtime against Riley Augustine. Job Chishko (157, VMI) won by forfeit. #29 Levi Hopkins (197) picked up a major decision victory over Tyler Mousaw. Last but certainly not least - The Citadel hosted UT-Chattanooga, losing 31-6. #26 Waddell (184) bounced back with a tech fall over Micah DiCarlo (CIT). Noah Castillo (149) and #11 Rocky Jordan (174) bolstered tech fall wins as well. The Bulldogs came out with wins at heavyweight and 125 - John Chesser had a close 5-4 win over Logan Andrew, and Blair Orr with another close 4-3 decision over Logan Ashton. The Mountaineers hosted the Appalachian Open this past Saturday, where heavyweight Jacob Sartorio took the title, with 11 other placers both attached and unattached. Sartorio went on to pick up a 7-2 decision over GWU’s Abraham Preston on Monday evening. Appalachian continues with their flawless 4-0 conference dual record, after picking up a 32-6 win over Gardner-Webb this past Monday. There were some tough matchups and rivalries to be settled at this dual - at 165 #24 RJ Mosley and #26 Will Formato faced off for a seventh time. Formato was victorious with a tight 2-1 win, avenging last year’s Southern Conference semi-final loss to Mosley. This matchup in March is going to make for a great conference tournament. But back to the action - the Runnin’ Bulldogs picked up two wins at 141 - Zach Price and 184 - Jha’Quan Anderson, putting up six team points on the board. #11 Caleb Smith (125), #28 Tommy Askey (157), and #27 Will Miller (174) racking up bonus point wins for App State. This next week/weekend of Southern Conference wrestling is going to be absolutely amazing. Friday’s matchups will include The Citadel at Davidson and VMI at Gardner-Webb; VMI heads to Davidson on Saturday, and Sunday sees a decades-old rivalry. Campbell heads to Charleston for a conference dual against The Citadel. The most exciting dual of the weekend will be in Boone, NC - App State hosts Chattanooga! Again - this a decades-old rivalry that is sure to be electric. If you can’t get to any of these in person - check out our LIVE streaming guide and stay tuned to all the action.

    Pittsburgh 184 lber Reece Heller (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Going into the season, it seemed as though there were two clear favorites for the ACC dual title in Virginia Tech and North Carolina State…we are two weeks into the ACC schedule and that notion can be thrown out the window. Pittsburgh and North Carolina share the lead at 2-0 with VT and NC State close behind at 1-1 and Duke and Virginia at 0-2. This battle is far from over, though we will have a single team in the lead after next week since Pitt and UNC will meet on Friday. We have three more weeks of ACC duals and this battle for the top of the conference is far from over. Adding to the chaos is that there is no tiebreaker for the ACC dual title--it could theoretically be shared by three teams if they go 4-1 or four teams at 3-2. It will be a fun run through February! Let’s take a look at how last week shook out: Duke at NC State: Coming off a tough loss to Virginia Tech, the Wolfpack were looking to make a statement in their conference home opener against Duke. The Wolfpack won nine straight matches, eight by bonus, before losing their shutout in the final match. Pretty solid statement. The bonus parade was led by falls from Jarrett Trombley, Ed Scott, Isaac Trumble and Dylan Fishback, the true freshman was making his dual debut filling in for Trent Hidlay. Trombley moves to 2-0 in the ACC while Scott and Trumble bounced back after opening ACC competition with losses at Virginia Tech. Alex Faison received a forfeit to wrap up the six-point bonuses. Kai Orine added a tech fall in an offensive explosion, while Ryan Jack and Jackson Arrington won by major decision and Luke Ahrberg picked up a 7-2 decision. The lone win for the Blue Devils came from Jonah Neisenbaum in the final bout of the night. Neisenbaum reversed the result of last year’s dual with a 5-4 decision over Tyrie Houghton; this moves his season record to 20-3. The Wolfpack will travel to Virginia next week to face Virginia while the Blue Devils will host Virginia Tech. No. 8 NC State 46, Duke 3 125: No. 26 Jarrett Trombley (NCSU) def. Ethan Grimminger, Fall 2:50 133: No. 25 Kai Orine (NCSU) def. Logan Agin, 21-1, Tech Fall 141: No. 5 Ryan Jack (NCSU) def. Christian Colman, 13-4, Major dec. 149: No. 17 Jackson Arrington (NCSU) def.

Gabe Dinette, 7-2 dec. 174: No. 31 Alex Faison (NCSU) vs. Conor Becker, Forfeit 184: Dylan Fishback (NCSU) vs. Luke Chakonis, Fall 197: No. 6 Isaac Trumble (NCSU) def. Brayden Ray, Fall 285: No. 22 Jonah Niesenbaum def. Tyrie Houghton (NCSU), 5-4 dec. Virginia at North Carolina: The Hoos were looking to get in the win column after a loss to Pitt at home, but the Tar Heels were able to control the dual from the opening match to move to 2-0 and take a share of the lead in the ACC dual standings. The dual opened at heavyweight with a decision for Adyin Guttridge, followed by a major decision for Jack Wagner over Patrick McCormick. This moves Wagner to 18-5 on the year. Jace Palmer broke out late in a 6-1 decision over Keyveon Roller. At 141, Lachlan McNeil continued his stellar run with a pin of Dylan Cedeno. Cedeno got in on a single early that McNeil was able to counter and lock up a cradle for the first-period pin. In a ranked-versus-ranked matchup at 149, we saw Jarod Verkleeren earn a 6-4 decision over Zach Sherman. It was a tight match going into the third with Sherman holding the lead before he injured his shoulder on a shot. Verkleeren was able to get the winning takedown while Sherman gritted through obvious pain. Austin O’Connor showed his offensive arsenal in his dominating major decision win over Jake Keating. O’Connor had the points to earn a tech fall at the buzzer, but he released Keating thinking that he needed an additional takedown; with the escape, Keating was able to keep it to a major decision. Justin McCoy evened his ACC record at 1-1, picking up a decision over Joey Mazzara after dropping a bout to Holden Heller last week. In an injury-shortened match, Michael Goldfeder took the injury default win over Vic Marcelli; they hit heads awkwardly on an early shot and Marcelli was unable to return. In one of the most anticipated matches of the dual, Gavin Kane edged Neil Antrassian on the strength of a third-period takedown. In the final match, Michael Battista evened his ACC record to 1-1 with a decision over Cade Lautt. The Hoos will host the NC State Wolfpack on Friday while the Tar Heels will travel to Pittsburgh for a tilt between undefeated teams that will determine the lead for the ACC dual title. No. 26 North Carolina 30, Virginia 9 Jan. 27, 2023 | Carmichael Arena | Chapel Hill, N.C. 125: No. 19 Jack Wagner (UNC) over Patrick McCormick (UVA) (14-4 MD) 133: Jace Palmer (UNC) over Keyveon Roller (UVA) (6-1 Dec) 141: No. 13 Lachlan McNeil (UNC) over Dylan Cedeno (UVA) (Fall 1:58) 149: No. 28 Jarod Verkleeren (UVA) over No. 25 Zach Sherman (UNC) (6-4 Dec) 157: No. 3 Austin O'Connor (UNC) over Jake Keating (UVA) (23-8 TF) 165: No. 17 Justin McCoy (UVA) over Joey Mazzara (UNC) (6-4 Dec) 174: Michael Goldfeder (UNC) over Vic Marcelli (UVA) (Injury Default) 184: No. 13 Gavin Kane (UNC) over No. 18 Neil Antrassian (UVA) (6-4 Dec) 197: No. 24 Michael Battista (UVA) over Cade Lautt (UNC) (9-7 Dec) 285: Aydin Guttridge (UNC) over Ethan Weatherspoon (UVA) (8-3 Dec) Pittsburgh at Virginia Tech The Panthers made their second trip to Virginia in two weeks and left with their second win and a share of the lead for the ACC dual title. The Hokies were coming off a huge win over the Wolfpack in what, on paper, was the battle for the ACC dual champion. Pitt entered hostile territory and controlled the dual from the opening bout--a 44-second pin from Colton Camacho over Cooper Flynn. At 133, we had a top-10 battle between Sam Latona and Micky Phillippi. Latona was able to get to Phillippi’s legs several times, but Micky’s defense and scrambling ability kept him from finishing the takedown. The bout went to tiebreakers after a scoreless sudden victory period where Phillippi won on a nine-second advantage in riding time. This is going to be a great rematch to see at the ACC tournament. At 141, Cole Matthews was able to control Tom Crook in a 6-2 decision, making the score Panthers 12 Hokies 0. The Hokies were able to get on the board with dominating performances from Caleb Henson and Bryce Andonian; both of them earned major decisions and were working to get tech falls to help the team get back in the dual. Henson took a 14-2 major over Tyler Badgett while Andonian won 14-1 over Dazjon Casto. Holden Heller earned a 2-0 decision over Connor Brady at 165 to stretch the Panthers lead. Mekhi Lewis was the final Hokie to win on the evening, putting on an offensive display in a 14-4 major over Luca Augustine. At 184, Hunter Bolen was in the lead over Reece Heller and started the second period on top. Heller was able to create hip space and gained the leverage he needed to secure a defensive fall against Bolen. Heller has been impressive from the bottom all year and has won multiple matches on this strength in this position. In the final two bouts, we saw Nino Bonaccorsi win a low scoring 3-1 decision over Andy Smith at 197, then we saw the ACC debut of Dayton Pitzer at 285. Pitzer moved his record to 6-1 on the year, but got a good challenge from Hunter Catka. For the second week in a row, Catka went to sudden victory in the final match, dropping to 0-2 in ACC competition. The Hokies will be on the road and looking to rebound against Duke on Friday. The Panthers will be back home in a dual to determine the top of the ACC standings against North Carolina. #24 Pitt 26, #7 Virginia Tech 12 125: Colton Camacho (Pitt) pins Cooper Flynn (VT), 0:44 (Pitt leads, 6-0) 133: No. 7 Micky Phillippi (Pitt) dec.

    Penn 174 lber Nick Incontrera (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) In another week of great EIWA matches, we saw Columbia knock off a ranked Lehigh team, Harvard upset Princeton for the first time in a decade, and Cornell proved they are still the top team in the conference. Lehigh’s McGonagle made his return to the lineup, as did Sacred Heart’s Nick Palumbo. It’s almost the crunch time part of the season, so expect wrestlers to fine-tune everything in the upcoming weeks. This week’s standout performance goes to Penn’s Nick Incontrera. The 174 lbs wrestler, currently #20 in the nation, was 2-0 on the weekend with a pin over Brown and an impressive victory over returning EIWA champion, Phil Conigliaro of Harvard. Incontrera’s win has him in the mix to be the top seed at EIWAs in a very deep weight class. His true test will come in the upcoming weeks. He will take on fourth-ranked Chris Foca of Cornell and fifth-ranked Mickey O’Malley of Drexel. Congrats to Nick, who wins my Outstanding Wrestler of the Week! American The Eagles were off. They will be on the road to take on Virginia this weekend. Army The Black Knights lost to Cornell 27-12 and won 19-17 over Bucknell. Nate Lukez was a winner in both of his matches on the weekend. At 174 lbs, #20 Ben Pasiuk had a win over Bucknell. Ethan Berginc (#33 @ 125 lbs) was 1-1 on the week, with a close loss to #17 Brett Ungar of Cornell. At 184lbs, Sahm Abdulrazzaq was a winner over #6 Jonathan Loew by injury default. The forfeit Dalton Harkins received at 165 lbs against Bucknell was the difference in the dual. We saw Matthew Williams and Trae McDaniel each earn a match at 149 lbs – each getting a win. Overall, a nice weekend for Coach Ward and company. This team is fun to watch, and they wrestle hard. They’ll be on the road at Lehigh this weekend. Binghamton The Bearcats had a dominant win over Hofstra, 27-8. They followed that up with a 19-18 loss at Navy. Micah Roes has been wrestling well lately at 125 lbs, earning a fall in one of his two wins on the weekend. The Binghamton middleweights went 6-0 on the weekend thanks to Michael Zarif at 149 lbs, Conner Decker at 157 lbs, and 33rd-ranked Brevin Cassella at 165 lbs. Cassella had a tech fall over Hofstra, and beat last season’s EIWA eighth-place finisher, Val Park of Navy. Jacob Nolan (#19 @ 184 lbs) had a ranked win over Jacob Ferreira (#24) of Hofstra en route to a 2-0 weekend. Lastly, Cory Day (#21 @ 285 lbs) had a win over NCAA qualifier Zachary Knighton-Ward of Hofstra, then had a loss to #20 Grady Griess of Navy. Binghamton’s huge loss with Lou DePrez’s season-ending injury will force one of the other wrestlers to start stepping up. Keep an eye on this team, as they can still land in the top 5 at EIWAs. Next up, a home dual against Princeton on Saturday. Brown The Bears were on the road, visiting Penn, Drexel, and Princeton in EIWA action. Brown posted two wins in each dual against tough EIWA opponents. Hunter Adrian (133 lbs) picked up a win against Penn, as did Ricky Cabanillas at 149 lbs. Cabanillas earned a win over Rocco Camillaci of Princeton, right after Ian Oswalt won by decision at 141lbs. Against Drexel, Brown saw wins from Sam McMonagle at 157 lbs and Alex Semenenko at 285 lbs. Drew Clearie took a 4-1 lead into the third period over #5 Mickey O’Malley of Drexel, before ultimately losing 5-4. We are seeing improvement from this team. It is a good sign. Give Jordan Leen a few years to build Brown into the program he envisions. This week, the Bears are off after a long weekend on the road. Bucknell The Bison had a long weekend of wrestling with a dual meet at home against LIU (winning 38-4) on Saturday afternoon, and an away match at Rider that night (winning 19-15). Finally, they ended the weekend at Army on Sunday (losing 19-17). At 133 lbs, Kurt Phipps (#23) went 3-0 on the weekend. Dorian Crosby (285 lbs) was also 3-0 on the weekend, adding to his hot streak. Darren Miller (#20 @ 141 lbs) was 2-1 on the weekend, dropping a dual to #33 McKenzie Bell of Rider. Freshman at 157 lbs, Riley Bower was also 2-1 on the long weekend. Another guy wrestling lately is Mason McCready at 184 lbs. He was 2-0 this weekend as well. Nolan Springer was 2-1 at 197 lbs. Something to note was Kolby DePron making his return from injury at 149 lbs. Although he was 1-2, expect better results moving forward – as being off for 3 weeks may include getting off some of the rust. An interesting note, regarding Dylan Chappell. He started the year at 133 lbs, and could not win the spot over a ranked teammate. He moved up to 141 lbs, and had the same situation. This weekend, he won the Mat Town Open at 149 lbs in a very tough bracket. This is an interesting wrinkle for this team. Let’s see if he chooses to stay here. Bucknell is sneakily moving toward having more guys in the rankings. The upper three weights have been wrestling well as of late. If this continues, Bucknell will have a nice EIWA tournament and shock some fans. This week’s two matches are chances for some nice individual and team wins, taking on Columbia Friday and Navy on Saturday – both at home. Columbia The Lions hosted #27 Lehigh and came away with a win 18-17. The match started with Nick Babin (#32 @ 125 lbs) getting a fall in the third period, which ended up being the difference in the dual. At 141 lbs, returning EIWA champ, Matt Kazimir (#26) defeated a red-hot Malyke Hines (#28). Columbia has three wins in a row from Cesar Alvan (#22 @ 157 lbs), Josh Ogunsanya (#16 @ 165 lbs), and Lenox Wolak (#32 @ 174 lbs). At heavyweight, Billy McChesney held #28 Taylor to a seven-point decision, which ended the dual with a Columbia one-point win. The Cornell match was a bit lopsided for fourth-ranked Big Red. The match score was 30-3, but three of the six decisions were one-score matches that went Cornell’s way. Their lone win was at 184 lbs by Aaron Ayzerov. Columbia was in many of these matches, and just getting better every time they are on the mat. This week’s matchup against Bucknell should be a good one at Bucknell. Cornell The Big Red were on a New York state road trip this weekend with wins at Army (27-12) and Columbia (30-3). Brett Ungar (#17 @ 125 lbs) had two one-point wins over ranked opponents in Nick Babin (#32) of Columbia and Ethan Berginc (#33) of Army. Third-ranked Vito Arujau had a tech fall and major at 133 lbs. Vince Cornella had two wins as well – one coming over returning EIWA champion, Matt Kazimir (#26) of Columbia. Both Yianni Diakomihalis (#1 @ 149) and Julian Ramirez (#8 @ 165 lbs) each had one win on the weekend in their lone appearances. Both Chris Foca (#4 @ 174 lbs) and Jacob Cardenas (#19 # 197 lbs) each won both matches on the day. Brendan Furman was at heavyweight all weekend, winning both matches. We saw Benny Baker get a win at 165 lbs. It looks like Cole Handlovic is finding his stride at 157 lbs this year, up from 141 lbs. He had an overtime loss to a tough Nate Lukez of Army, but had a win over #22 Cesar Alvan of Columbia. This team is the real deal. With a full line-up, expect nine or more participants at NCAAs. This weekend’s schedule includes home matches against Princeton Saturday and Penn on Sunday. Drexel The Dragons took on the Brown Bears in their lone dual meet, winning 31-6. The match-up of the day occurred at 133 lbs. Kyle Waterman beat Hunter Adrian in tiebreakers. The Dragons put up a lot of points, and looked aggressive overall. We saw Mickey O’Malley back from injury, where he gutted out a 5-4 win to maintain his fifth rank in the nation at 174 lbs. At 165 lbs, Evan Barczak (#19) secured a pin and Brian Bonino (#27 @ 184 lbs) earned a major decision – the only bonus point victories for the Dragons, not including the forfeit at 125 lbs. With Luke Nichter (#26 @ 149 lbs) making steady appearances in the line-up this team is solid from top to bottom. I am excited to see how high they can climb in the team race at EIWAs. Next week, they will be on the road at LIU – facing them and George Mason on Saturday. They will hit up Hofstra on the way home for a dual on Sunday. This is a great opportunity for them to bring their record to 9-4 on the season if they win all 3. Franklin & Marshall The Diplomats scored a ton of points in their 35-11 win over Sacred Heart. They started off hot with back-to-back tech falls by Mason Leiphart (125 lbs) and Pat Phillips (133 lbs). At 149 lbs, Bryce Kreshko earned a fall in his matchup. They closed out strong winning four straight with Noah Fox (174lbs) earning a tech fall, an injury default win by James Conway at (184lbs), John Crawford (#32 @ 197lbs) earned another tech fall for the Dips, before Cenzo Pelusi won by an easy decision at heavyweight. This was a dominating victory for F&M, winning their seventh match of the year. They will be off this weekend, with one more match for the remainder of the season. Harvard The Crimson were 1-1 in Ivy League competition this past weekend. They started with a 20-18 win at Princeton, winning six of the ten bouts. Diego Sotelo (125 lbs) earned a win, as did Joseph Cangro (141 lbs) and Jack Crook (149 lbs). Making his return for the first time this semester, Phil Conigliaro (#12 @ 174 lbs) won by decision. Finally, big man, Yara Slavikouski (#9 @ 285 lbs) capped off the team win by decision over #31 Travis Stefanik. Harvard’s 28-9 loss to Penn saw wins by Sotelo over Ryan Miller (#24). At 149 lbs, Jack Crook defeated his opponent. Closing out the dual, we saw Slavikouski beating #29 Ben Goldin in the final bout of the evening. Overall, Harvard is a solid squad with seasoned talent in Conigliaro and Slavikouski. They have young talent in Sotelo, Cangro, and Crook, among others. The first win over Princeton in ten years is a great way to start momentum heading into the final week of the season. They’ll have a week off this weekend to prepare for their final three matches in the next few weeks. Hofstra The Pride lost both duals this weekend to Binghamton (27-8) and Navy (21-12). Hofstra’s Trey Rogers (#30 @ 197 lbs) won both matchups, including a tech fall over Binghamton. He’s on a five-match win streak. Justin Hoyle had a win over Binghamton. Against Navy, Joe McGinty earned a win at 157 lbs, as did Ross McFarland at 174 lbs. Closing out the weekend, Jacob Ferreira (#24 @ 184 lbs) defeated #32 David Key of Navy and Rogers had a win over his opponent. Ferreira’s win was the team’s leading 16th win on the year. This weekend’s agenda for Hofstra includes home matches against George Mason on Friday and Drexel on Sunday. Lehigh The Mountain Hawks went 0-2 this weekend. I’m not sure the last time that happened, but both matches were close. Friday was an away loss to Columbia 18-17, while Saturday’s home loss was to #17 Arizona State. It’s important to note that Josh Humphreys (#4 @ 157 lbs) missed both matches due to injury – expect him back in the next few weeks. Michael Beard (#3 @ 197 lbs) had a tech fall and pin on the weekend. At 184 lbs, #20 Tate Samuelson was 2-0 on the weekend. We saw Max Brignola at both 149 lbs, and 157 lbs, he was 2-0 performing well at two weights. Malyke Hines was 1-1 with a win over #22 Jesse Vasquez, but had a loss to #26 Matt Kazimir of Columbia. Connor McGonagle split his matches, losing to #4 Michael McGee of Arizona State – proving he belongs in the All-American conversation. Nathan Taylor (#30 @ Lehigh) had a nice win over Columbia. This team is 6-9 on the year, with losses to #11 Oklahoma State, #17 Pitt, #1 Penn State, #7 NC State, #3 Ohio State, and #6 Cornell – it’s hard to call this a “down year” for a talented Lehigh squad that was plagued with injuries. With Humphreys coming back soon, I expect Lehigh to be peaking very shortly. They are back in action Saturday with a home dual against Army. Long Island The Sharks were on the road this weekend, losing to Bucknell 38-4 and Bloomsburg 34-9. The team’s lone win against Bucknell came from Robbie Sagaris at 125 lbs. He earned a major before Bucknell ran the table to win 9 straight. Drew Whitman (149 lbs) and Rhise Royster (157 lbs) were 1-1 on the weekend, both posting competitive losses with Bucknell. The bright spots in Sagaris, Whitman, and Royster seem to shine brighter every week. This team’s development is coming along nicely. I am excited to see some of these guys make the EIWA podium. On this weekend’s agenda, LIU will host George Mason and Drexel. Navy The Midshipmen were 2-0 on the weekend with wins over Hofstra (21-12) and Binghamton (19-18). Brendan Ferretti (#31 @ 133 lbs) was 2-0 on the weekend, as was Josh Koderhandt (141 lbs). Also going 2-0 on the weekend was 20th-ranked heavyweight Grady Greiss, who defeated #21 Cory Day and multiple-time National Qualifier, Zachary Knighton-Ward of Hofstra. Grady has been solid anchoring the end of the lineup, who is now 28-4 on the season. We saw Kaemen Smith (149lbs) get some action this weekend, splitting his two matches this weekend. At 197 lbs, #29 Jacob Koser was 1-0 as well. This team has had some ups and downs this year. I believe Coach Kolat and company will get this team ready for the postseason. Next up, they have duals at Lock Haven and Bucknell this weekend. Penn The Quakers had a dominant weekend over Ivy League teams Brown and Harvard, winning 37-7 and 28-8, respectively. Carmen Ferranti was 2-0 this weekend at 141 lbs. At 157 lbs, Anthony Artalona (#12) scored a ton of points, earning himself two major decisions. Lucas Revano (165 lbs) was undefeated in both matches – revenging an early season loss to Joshua Kim of Harvard. Max Hale (184 lbs) and Cole Urbas (197 lbs) each won both matches this weekend too. Nick Incontrera had himself a weekend, beating Phil Conigliaro (#12 @ 174lbs) of Harvard. Conigliaro was the EIWA champ at 165lbs a season ago, and was in the bloodround at NCAAs. This team is exciting to watch. They like to score takedowns, and make their opponents earn every point. This week, they will compete in the Ivy League (and potentially) EIWA championship match-up with Cornell, on the road, Sunday. Princeton The Tigers wrestled Brown and Harvard this weekend, splitting matches. Their 36-6 win over Brown was impressive, winning 8 of 10 matches. The loss to Harvard was a 20-18 loss for the Tigers. We saw Patrick Glory (#2 @ 125 lbs) up at 133 lbs for the team, winning both matches on the weekend. Quincy Monday (#3 @ 165 lbs) won both matches on his plate as well. Both Nate Dugan (184 lbs) and Luke Stout (#17 @ 197 lbs) both scored two wins each. There have been a lot of moving parts to this lineup, and the dust is starting to settle. It looks like Glory is weighing in close to 125 lbs, but wrestling up for the dual meets. The team was without Danny Coles this weekend. It seems like the team has answers at 149 lbs in Camillaci and heavyweight in Travis Stefanik (#31). The team is talented, but seems to be a better tournament team than a dual team. With some young talent developing, this squad is a year or two out from competing with Cornell and Penn at the top of the Ivy League. They will be on the road at Cornell and Binghamton this week. Sacred Heart The Pioneers dropped a dual to Franklin & Marshall. They earned a win at 141 lbs by Dakota Asuncion, now taking his record to .500. 157 lbs dark horse, Nick Palumbo made his long-awaited return with a major decision, in only his seventh match of the season. Expect him to turn it on late. Aidan Zarrella followed up at 165 lbs with a win via major decision. Sacred Heart has been battling all year. With Palumbo back in the lineup, they are a better team overall. They will host Bloomsburg this weekend, looking to finally add a few more wins under their belt.

The Vikings defeated both George Mason (19-18) and SIU Edwardsville (17-16) based on criteria back-to-back during a Tri-Match. In their match against George Mason, six Vikings defeated their opponents to help secure the criteria win. Jacob Manley (133) topped Josh Jones by a 6-3 decision.

    NCAA champion David Carr (photo courtesy of Mark Lundy; LutteLens.com) Another week down in the Big 12, and this one was arguably the most notable week in conference so far. Let's look at some of the highlights. Iowa State takes the home stand vs. Oklahoma schools. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma went up to Iowa to wrestle Northern Iowa and Iowa State this weekend. Things kicked off on Friday with Oklahoma and Iowa State. The Cyclones took the dual over OU 25-12 on Friday then beat Oklahoma State on Sunday 18-11. The OSU-ISU dual came down to HWT where Sam Schuyler majored Kyle Haas to take the dual for the Cyclones. Northern Iowa fell to Oklahoma State on Saturday night thanks to a pin from OSU's Wyatt Sheets. The Panthers bounced back beating Oklahoma on Sunday 23-12. California Baptist gets first Big 12 win. Thanks in part to an upset win for Eli Griffin over Jore Volk, California Baptist got their first Big 12 win on Saturday vs. Wyoming. This is a monumental step for their program as they continue their D1 and Big 12 transition. Some Controversy in South Dakota State vs. Northern Colorado This video is making the rounds in the wrestling community, but after this, Tanner Cook won the match via an injury default to him caused by what happened in the exchange. It's unfortunate because I had this dual circled as one that was very under the radar this week and could've quietly been one of the best. But this result was a big momentum swing and completely flipped things after Northern Colorado had won four of the first five matches. Regardless of opinions on the action, this was a big momentum changer for South Dakota State in what potentially could've been a landmark dual win for their program. Friday 01/27 Air Force DEF Snow College 44-0 Utah Valley DEF Snow College 43-6 Air Force DEF Utah Valley 33-3 Iowa State DEF Oklahoma 25-12 South Dakota State DEF Northern Colorado 23-13 Saturday 01/28 California Baptist DEF Wyoming 22-10 Oklahoma State DEF Northern Iowa 19-17 Sunday 01/29 Northern Iowa DEF Oklahoma 23-12 South Dakota State DEF Air Force 26-16 Iowa State DEF Oklahoma State 18-11 Northern Colorado DEF California Baptist University 31-6

    The Arizona State staff with 174 lber Cael Valencia (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Arizona State captures tough win over Lehigh Before the 20-16 victory this weekend, Arizona State's only win in school history against Lehigh came last season. In addition, Zeke Jones hadn't beaten Lehigh since 2007 when he coached at Penn before last season's victory. However, the Sun Devils have captured its second consecutive win against a worthy opponent. Tony Negron kicked off the dual with a 5-2 decision victory to give the Sun Devils a 3-0 lead. Cael Valencia continues to show signs of progression as he won in a sudden victory over Jake Logan. Arizona State's heavyweights continued to shuffle around and struggle as Shay Addison and Damion Schunke fell lost by major decisions and fall. Yet, Arizona State's superstars shined the Sun Devils to the team victory. Brandon Courtney captured his 99th career victory and Michael McGee snuck past Connor McGonagle 8-6. Kyle Parco picked up a tech fall over Manzona Bryant and Cohlton Schultz defeated Nathan Taylor 3-2. ASU will host Little Rock on Friday night in a Pac-12 matchup then travel to Oregon State for a huge dual on Sunday night. Stanford survives Little Rock's scrappy squad Little Rock has slowly become a competitive team within the Pac-12 conference. Although the Trojans lost 19-14, losing a team point for control of mat violation, the Trojans picked up some major wins. Joseph Bianchi and Matty Bianchi won back-to-back matches against Luciano Arroyo and Charlie Darracott. In addition, Stephen Little upset Nick Stemmet at 197 pounds with a 7-5 victory. Stanford's stars won tight battles too. Shane Griffith won 4-0 over Tyler Brennan, Tyler Eischens defeated Triston Wills 9-4 and Jackson Disario won 8-2 over Josh Sarpy. Stanford will host Menlo College this week while Little rock travels to ASU. Beavers stomp the Roadrunners Oregon State dominated Cal State Bakersfield with a 43-4 victory at home over the weekend. Roadrunners' Josh Brown started the dual with a 16-7 major decision over Riley Gurr at 149 pounds, his fifth straight dual victory. However, Oregon State swept the rest of the dual. Aaron Olmos found himself in a tough battle against Albert Urias. Yet, he captured the 3-1 victory at 174 lbs. Brandon Kaylor also captured a tough 3-2 victory over Eddie Flores. Trey Munoz and Cleveland Belton dominated their opponents with a tech fall and pin.

    Indiana 174 lber DJ Washington (photo courtesy of SJanickiPhoto.com) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the wrestling season flies by if you’re not cutting weight and going through rigorous workouts. You blink and it’s almost February. Excluding Appalachian State and Gardner-Webb, who will compete tonight, the next time anyone takes the mat in the DI ranks, it will be in February. That’s basically the homestretch of the regular season. The light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve spent months mocking coaches with the “All that matters is March” mindset and it’s almost March. January’s swan song of a weekend was a memorable one. It included the most anticipated dual of the season between top-ranked Penn State and number two Iowa. While the dual may have left something to be desired with the actual wrestling, almost 16,000 spectators crammed into the Bryce Jordan Center to watch the nation's top two teams collide. While Penn State and Iowa took center stage, there were plenty of other great duals around the country. As our mailbag specialist Jagger said, “There were tons of duals last night with crazy matches and now we want to change the rules because one of them was a little boring.” There was plenty of action Friday and all weekend for that matter, so let’s get to “7 Big Stories from the Week in College Wrestling.” Penn State/Iowa The big one is in the books and Penn State retained its top ranking after a 23-14 victory over their rivals from Iowa City. If you were late getting into the Bryce Jordan Center, as I and hundreds of others outside, you might have missed the biggest shocker of the evening. Third-year sophomore, Marco Vespa, sporting a 0-6 career record, got the call for Cael Sanderson’s team against three-time national champion Spencer Lee at 125 lbs. It wouldn’t be a shocker if you had heard the match started with a low attack to a takedown, followed by a cradle. However, it wasn’t the Hodge Trophy favorite, Lee, who got on the board first it was Vespa. Just seconds into the match Vespa had the stunned crowd on their feet hoping to see easily the biggest upset of the year. For the full article, Subscribe to InterMat's Rokfin Page

    Sammy Sasso (top) and Yahya Thomas are expected to meet for the 5th time (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) After a cursory glance at the upcoming week’s schedule, it’s hard not to get excited about some of the potential matches on tap. We’ve gone through the schedule for the upcoming week’s worth of matches and identified all of the potential matches between ranked opponents. That has left us with a potential 15 bouts between top-ten ranked opponents and four between wrestlers in the top-five. Since we’re doing this Monday morning, it’s before the updated set of rankings; however, the matchups will stay the same! 125 lbs - #1 Spencer Lee (Iowa) vs. #7 Patrick McKee (Minnesota) 125 lbs - #2 Patrick Glory (Princeton) vs. #17 Brett Ungar (Cornell) 125 lbs -

    Roman Bravo-Young and former teammate Brody Teske (bottom) at the 133 lb weight class (photo courtesy of Juan Garcia;JCG Photograhpy) UNIVERSITY PARK – Penn State wrestling tightened its grip on its place atop the national and Big Ten dual rankings Friday as the No. 1 Nittany Lions defeated No. 2 Iowa, 23-14, in front of an NCAA record-tying 15,998 fans at the Bryce Jordan Center. From the fire shooting out of the rafters, to NFL star and Penn State alum Micah Parsons leading “We Are” chants, and the suspense of a back-and-forth battle throughout, the dual lived up to its highly anticipated billing. Penn State coach Cael Sanderson – who earned his 100th Big Ten victory – however, may have been a bit underwhelmed. His team took six of 10 bouts and won the takedown battle 16-2. “It was kind of a slow match,” Sanderson said. “A match like that gets great ratings and a lot of people are hyped about it. Unfortunately, they’re not the most exciting if people aren’t flying around a lot. So, hopefully, it was still a great event for the spectators and for the TV audience. That’s what I would think more about. Good job guys not giving up takedowns, but wrestling’s got to be exciting.” The dual certainly started out exciting. The Nittany Lions rolled out Marco Vespa at 125 pounds to take on three-time NCAA champ Spencer Lee in his dual meet debut. The sophomore didn’t let the fact that Lee has pinned six straight opponents intimidate him, as he got in on Lee’s ankle and took him down right off the opening whistle and locked up the cradle. The crowd was electrified for a brief moment, until Lee hit a reversal and went to work doing what he does, tilting Vespa four times to earn the 18-2 technical fall at 2:14. Vespa took the place Friday night of redshirt freshman Gary Steen, who has been holding down 125 pounds so far this season, compiling a 5-9 record. “(Vespa) wanted to wrestle and Gary was a little banged up from last week, so we went with it and brought a little excitement there for … a second,” Sanderson said with a chuckle. It didn’t take long, though, for the excitement to return for the home crowd. Not to be outdone by Lee, two-time national champ Roman Bravo-Young capitalized on a late takedown attempt from his former Penn State teammate and training partner Brody Teske and took him to his back for the fall with just 14 seconds remaining in the bout to give the Nittany Lions the 6-5 lead. That lead wouldn’t last for long, though, as the Hawkeyes took the next two bouts – a pair of 4-1 decisions for No. 2 Real Woods and No. 7 Max Murin over No. 4 Beau Bartlett and No. 13 Shayne Van Ness, respectively. Outside of the opening seconds of the 141-pound bout where Woods and Bartlett attempted to throw each other, the two matches had limited action. Woods and Murin had a takedown apiece – the lone two for the Hawkeyes – and plenty of riding time. “We’ve got to go back and look at some of those matches,” Sanderson said. “I think we’ve got some young guys in some tough situations against some experienced wrestlers – some good wrestlers. Iowa’s good, their coaches are very good. They’re very tactical and they come in with a strong gameplan, so we’ll just get better and learn from those experiences. We’ve got to get off the bottom. We’ve got to be able to clear ties and get an angle on a shot. “Like everybody, we’ve always got something to work on and Iowa always does a good job of showing you what you need to work on.” Penn State got back in the win column at 157 pounds, where true freshman Levi Haines officially burned his redshirt. Having earned Penn State fans’ favor last week with a key upset against Michigan, Haines had the crowd buzzing from the moment he ran out to “Country Boy Can Survive” to when he lifted Cobe Siebrecht off the mat for a high-double-leg takedown and got his hand raised for the 3-2 win. The freshman’s performance impressed his coach and his teammates, as Sanderson confirmed Haines is “the guy we’re going with” moving forward. “It’s been exciting. It’s like he’s anointed,” 184-pounder Aaron Brooks said. “That guy's tough, he’s an Iowa wrestler. He’s going to go out there and hold his position and I think it’s great for (Haines) to go out there and get this experience. Because the more he wrestles, the better he gets.” Iowa earned its final win of the dual at 165 pounds, where No. 13 Patrick Kennedy took out No. 5 Alex Facundo, 2-1, in a tiebreaker decision. The pair ended regulation tied 1-1, as Facundo found himself heading into overtime for the third consecutive bout. But unlike last Friday, the tiebreaker did not go in his favor. Neither wrestler was able to score in sudden victory, and Kennedy earned a quick escape – four seconds – in the first tiebreaker period. Facundo chose neutral to give himself a chance to take Kennedy down but was unable as the Hawkeye earned the 2-1 decision. Penn State swept the last four bouts to close out the dual, starting with defending 174-pound national champ Carter Starocci’s 2-1 decision over Nelson Brands – just his second regular decision of the season. Starocci struggled to solve Brands’ hand-fighting and failed to earn a takedown or draw a stall warning despite multiple shot attempts until a warning was awarded with 10 seconds left in the second period. The Nittany Lion then rode out the third period for the win. Brooks was able to give Penn State back the lead (17-14), after a dominating 22-7 technical fall in 5:42 over Iowa 157/165-pounder Drake Rhodes, who was filling in for Abe Assad. The reigning 184-pound NCAA champ accounted for most of Penn State’s takedowns with nine. “With the team score, we fell behind a little bit there,” Sanderson said. “Roman’s pin helped a lot. Obviously, that was a big deal. Every point counts in a dual like that, you just don’t know. You just keep wrestling, you don’t know how it will end up.” The last two bouts were two of the most highly anticipated – with 197 being a rematch of the 2022 NCAA final. Similar to that match, the pair were scoreless through the first period. But a second-period escape and full-period, punishing rideout in the third gave Dean the 2-0 victory – his third over Warner. Greg Kerkvliet closed things out with a 4-1 win over Tony Cassioppi in a top-three matchup. Kerkvliet hit a single-leg takedown with a little over a minute left in the first period, and controlled most of the match from there, adding an escape and 2:27 in riding time. With the win, Penn State improves to 11-0 on the season, while Iowa falls to 12-1. “We got to take our medicine in this loss,” Iowa coach Tom Brands said. “But I'll tell you what, we took our medicine too much out there and in some positions during that match and you can never take your medicine when the match is going knowing that clock's ticking. That happened too much and I tell you this, we’ve got to get better.” Both teams have the rest of the weekend off, before Iowa heads to Minnesota and Penn State to Ohio State next Friday.

    Pittsburgh 133 lber Micky Phillippi (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Week one of ACC duals certainly didn’t disappoint. We saw one of the best duals in the country in the yearly rivalry dual between NC State and Virginia Tech. We also saw North Carolina and Pittsburgh pick up dominating wins and put themselves into the conversation for the ACC dual title. We’ve got another fun night of ACC action ahead tonight, with the spotlight dual in Blacksburg on ACC Network. The duals in Raleigh and Chapel Hill will be on ACC Network Extra. Duke at North Carolina State The Wolfpack will be looking to bounce back and make a statement after a close loss in a fantastic dual last weekend in Blacksburg. Duke is looking to improve on a 2-win performance against UNC last week. While there aren’t any ranked versus ranked matchups, there will be a few things to keep an eye on tonight. There will be several lineup changes on both sides with the biggest changes for the Wolfpack as they rest a couple starters. Luke Ahrberg will get the start at 165, while Dylan Fishback will slide in at 184. Tyrie Houghton will get the nod against #22 Jonah Neisenbaum. Houghton took a 4-1 decision in the dual last year. This will also be the first time that Jarred Papscy faces his former team; he is wrestling his final season as a grad transfer for Duke. Probable Lineups: 125: #26 Jarrett Trombley vs Ethan Grimminger 133: #25 Kai Orine vs Logan Agin 141: #5 Ryan Jack vs Jarred Papscy 149: #17 Jackson Arrington vs Patrick Rowland 157: #7 Ed Scott vs Logan Ferrero 165: Luke Ahrberg vs Gabe Dinette 174: #31 Alex Faison vs Conor Becker 184: Dylan Fishback vs Luke Chakonis 197: #9 Isaac Trumble vs Brayden Ray 285: Tyrie Houghton vs #22 Jonah Neisenbaum Virginia at #26 North Carolina Virginia is coming off a down performance against Pitt while the Tar Heels were on the winning side of a lopsided dual against Duke last week. There are a few matches in this dual that will play a big role in seeding at the ACC tournament that shouldn’t go under the radar. A few things to watch for: Will we see Brian Courtney again this week for the Hoos, or will Dylan Cedeno get the nod against Lachlan McNeil? McNeil has looked phenomenal of late and is on an 11-match winning streak. Jarod Verkleeren wrestled well last week, picking up a ranked win in his return from injury; he will face Zach Sherman who is 4-2 since returning from injury this month. The marquee match for this dual is at 184 with Gavin Kane and Neil Antrassian squaring off. Kane has been on a tear since a slow-ish start to the year. He has won 11 straight and is unbeaten in 2023. Antrassian has been a huge story for the Hoos, putting together a 19-4 season in his first year in a UVA singlet. Kane took a 6-3 decision over Antrassian at the Southeast Open, but both of these guys are wrestling on another level than they were at the beginning of November. This could be a fun one. Both wrestlers have great neutral games and can be hammers on top. No. 26 North Carolina vs. Virginia Probable Lineups: 125: No. 19 Jack Wagner vs. Patrick McCormick 133: Jace Palmer or Joey Melendez vs. Marlon Yarbrough or Keyveon Roller 141: No. 13 Lachlan McNeil vs. No. 29 Brian Courtney or Dylan Cedeno 149: No. 25 Zach Sherman or Wil Guida vs. No. 28 Jarod Verkleeren 157: No. 3 Austin O'Connor vs. Jake Keating 165: Joey Mazzara or Gino Esposito vs. No. 17 Justin McCoy or Nick Hamilton 174: No. 9 Clay Lautt or Michael Goldfeder vs. Vic Marcelli 184: No. 13 Gavin Kane vs. No. 18 Neil Antrassian 197: Max Shaw or Cade Lautt vs. No. 24 Michael Battista 285: Aydin Guttridge or Brandon Whitman vs. Ethan Weatherspoon or Jessie Knight #24 Pittsburgh at #7 Virginia Tech Blacksburg will be the site of the ACC dual of the week for the second straight Friday. Pitt took a dominating win in Charlottesville last week and the Hokies had a big win over NC State to take the early lead in the race to the ACC dual title. This is a sneaky good dual with several ranked versus ranked matchups, including a top-10 battle at 133. 125: Cooper Flynn will get the go for the Hokies after a sudden-victory loss by Eddie Ventresca in the dual last week. He will face Colton Camacho who is coming off a lopsided win over Patrick McCormick. 133: Top-10 showdown between #5 Sam Latona and #7 Micky Phillippi in a major clash of styles. This one will be very interesting to watch. Phillippi is an incredible defensive wrestler and very difficult to score on, while Latona attacks in volume capitalizing on his length to get to legs. We’ve seen that Latona can score on anyone, but we’ve seen Phillippi shut down the top wrestlers in the country. This one will likely determine the top seed at the ACC tournament. 141: Another huge match between #3 Cole Matthews and #12 Tom Crook. Matthews has only one blemish in an otherwise stellar season and has been wrestling very well, picking up a ranked win over Brian Courtney last week. Crook has been one of the top true-freshman in the country and lost a 2-1 decision to #5 Ryan Jack last week on the strength of a riding time point. Crook can go with anyone in the country and will be looking for a statement win, Matthews is looking to show that he is still the top dog at 141. 149: Caleb Henson has been phenomenal all year and has knocked off three All-Americans to earn his top-10 ranking. Badgett has had a solid season but is coming off a loss to Jarod Verkleeren last week. It will be a tough test for Badgett to topple Henson, but he has shown the ability to keep matches close. 157: The country was electrified by the return of Bryce Andonian last week in a dominating win over #7 Ed Scott. Casto has struggled this season, but seems to be getting back on track. He had a good win last week against Jake Keating. Like any time Andonian steps onto the mat, I’d expect fireworks--it will be good to see where Casto is at against a very tough opponent. 165: One of the biggest coin flip matches of the dual. Holden Heller had a huge win over #15 Justin McCoy last week and looked great in all three positions. Connor Brady is coming off a heartbreaking sudden victory loss to Matty Singleton and will be looking to make a statement. This could be a really fun match if both guys open up. 174: Luca Augustine has had an up-and-down season, and he will face one of the most dangerous wrestlers in the country tonight against Mekhi Lewis. This will be a very big ask of the redshirt freshman. 184: Hunter Bolen will get another tough test after his sudden victory loss to #3 Trent Hidlay last week in a very dangerous Reece Heller. Heller has had a great year for the Panthers, including a Midlands title, but is coming off a tough loss to #18 Neil Antrassian. 184 is a deep and tough weight in the ACC and this matchup could loom large for March. 197: Andy Smith pulled off the upset of the week last week over #9 Isaac Trumble, cementing the win for the Hokies. We will either see him or true freshman TJ Stewart against an undefeated and always-dangerous Nino Bonaccorsi. Nino has looked incredible every time he has stepped on the mat this year, and I wouldn’t expect anything different tonight. This will be a tough test for whoever the Hokies send out. 285: We go to our weekly question of “will we see Dayton Pitzer?”. I’m guessing, like most weeks, we won’t know until the introductions at 285. Catka had a tough loss to a very good Owen Trephan in sudden victory last week and will be looking for a rebound win. The Panthers could send out Jake Slinger, who is coming off a win over Jessie Knight but has been inconsistent this season--or they could send out undefeated Dayton Pitzer. Pitzer has three more dates that can be used before Gavin and company have to decide his redshirt status--will this be one of those dates? No. 7 Virginia Tech Hokies vs No. 24 Pittsburgh Panthers Probable Lineups: 125 – Cooper Flynn, r-Fr vs Colton Camacho, r-Jr 133 – No. 5 Sam Latona, r-Jr vs No. 7 Micky Phillippi, r-Sr 141 – No. 12 Tom Crook, Fr vs No. 3 Cole Matthews, Jr 149 – No. 9 Caleb Henson, Fr vs No. 29 Tyler Badgett, r-So 157 – No. 5 Bryce Andonian, Sr vs No. 33 Dazjon Casto, Sr 165 – No. 25 Connor Brady, r-So vs No. 23 Holden Heller, r-Sr 174 – No. 3 Mekhi Lewis, r-Sr vs Luca Augustine, r-Fr 184 – No. 7 Hunter Bolen, r-Sr vs No. 19 Reece Heller, r-Jr 197 – No. 22 Andy Smith, r-So OR TJ Stewart, Fr vs No. 2 Nino Bonaccorsi, r-Sr 285 – No. 23 Hunter Catka, r-So vs No. 5 Dayton Pitzer, Fr or Jake Slinger, Sr

    Lehigh 141 lber Malyke Hines (photo courtesy of SJanickiPhoto.com) Dual Meet of the Weekend *ALL RANKINGS ARE FROM INTERMAT* #27 Lehigh hosts #19 Arizona State. Arizona State has taken a few head-scratching losses in duals this season, while battling injuries. Lehigh has been dealing with the injury bug as well. Grace Hall will be ecstatic this Saturday for a great dual. This should be a fun dual regardless, even if some of the “backups” get to see mat time. Many of the non-starters on each squad are still very tough and will make for tight matches. Will we see a #4 McGee vs #6 McGonagle showdown at 133 lbs? McGee just came back from injury a few weeks ago. McGonagle has only wrestled once this semester and may possibly be back… It would be quite the match returning from injury. If it does happen, be ready for fireworks. Due to the long travel, and intense crowd (plus my EIWA bias) – I’ll give Lehigh a slight advantage. It may come down to bonus points. 125lbs – #33 Berginc (Army) vs #17 Ungar (Cornell) Berginc started hot – will he get back on track with a win over Ungar? (who just lost to Sotelo of Harvard) 125lbs - #28 Miller (Penn) vs Sotelo (Harv) This will be the rubber match between them on the year. Miller has a 6-3 win, while Sotelo has a pin over Miller. The winner of this would give a solid argument for the 3rd seed at EIWAs, staying on the opposite side of Glory. The loser could be as low as 6th. What a fun weight class! 125lbs – #32 Babin (Col) vs #17 Ungar (Cornell) Babin has been in and out of the rankings. This weight class is pretty even-stevens after Glory. Ungar can maintain the 2nd seed if he beats Babin. A win by Babin could mean chaos for the seeding committee. 125lbs – #32 Babin (Col) vs Bailey/Lane (Leh) Lane and Bailey are both capable of being in the rankings. I feel a lack of consistency in the line-up (due to injuries) has prevented that. Babin has been ranked, and his performances have been impressive as of late. 141lbs - #26 Kazimir (Col) vs #28 Hines (Leh) Last year’s EIWA champ vs a red-hot Hines. 2 NCAA qualifiers, plus a pivotal match for the dual with EIWA seeding implications 141lbs - #26 Kazimir (Col) vs #16 Cornella (Corn) Another conference test for the freshman, Cornella. He lost to Hines a week ago. A win by Kazimir would make seeding this weight class very interesting 149lbs - #33 Fongaro (Col) vs Brignola/Bryant (Leh) A pivotal matchup for the dual. I’d be shocked if these guys did not end up at NCAAs (pending NCAA allocations, of course) 157lbs – #4 Humphreys (Leh) vs #22 Alvan (Col) Humphreys has been banged up so we may not even see him. If he does return, it’ll be his first match since before Christmas. Another good opportunity for an upset for Alvan after last week’s win over #16 Artalona of Penn. 165lbs – Park (Navy) vs #33 Cassella (Bing) EIWA 8th vs EIWA 5th last season. Could be a “winner goes to Tulsa” type of match at EIWAs 165lbs - #8 Ramirez (Corn) vs #16 Ogunsanya (Col) A rematch from last year’s EIWA semifinal - won by Ogunsanya 6-4. Ramirez won at CKLV in December 8-2 174lbs - #12 Phil Conigliaro (Harv) vs #22 Nick Incontrera (Penn) Conigliaro was R12 at 165 lbs last year. He hasn’t stepped on the mat since before Christmas. I won't hold my breath for this matchup, but it’s possible. 184lbs - #24 Ferreira (Hof) vs #22 Nolan (Bing) A possible matchup to claim 3rd seed at conferences. Also, a toss-up in a dual that will be a tight one 184lbs - #24 Ferreira (Hof) vs #32 Key (Navy) Another toss-up in a tight match. An “upset” for Key would be big for Navy in the dual. 197lbs - #30 Rogers (Hof) vs #29 (Koser) Navy Similar to the match we’ll see right before this at 184lbs. Great toss-up match. 285lbs - #21 Day (Bing) vs #20 Griess (Navy) The rankings speak for themselves. Both guys can pin on top. Interesting matchup at HWT 285lbs - #21 Day (Bing) vs UR Knighton-Ward (Hofstra) Knighton-Ward is a 2X NCAA Qualifier. A win from Day will prove he’s ready to compete at NCAAs, up from 184lbs last season. 285lbs - #20 Greiss (Navy) vs UR Knighton-Ward (Hofstra) Capping off a huge weekend for Knighton-Ward. A great opportunity to find himself back in the national rankings.
