Illinois state champion Kannon Webster; an Illini recruit (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Last weekend, the ball got rolling for the high school state tournament season. This weekend it was in full force as some of the traditional powers like Illinois and Iowa held their much-anticipated season-ending tournaments. As these tournaments conclude, it begs the question, "how did my favorite team's recruits fare?" In some smaller states, it's almost a given that your college-bound studs are collecting another state title, while in the power states, with the deepest talent pools, such achievements are not guaranteed. Either way, we've combed through results from all of the state tournaments that have taken place thus far to find out how everyone's recruits have finished. We will update this article each week as more results become official. If you do not see a recruit that should be added, please fill out our commitment form or email me at earl@matscouts.com .

Spencer Lee (left) and Daton Fix (Photos Courtesy of Mark Lundy; LutteLens.com) The dual portion of the 2022-2023 college wrestling season is coming to an end. To mark the occasion, No.2 Iowa and No. 10 Oklahoma State will face off in one of the oldest rivalries in the sport. The Cowboys have dropped a pair of duals this year, but they seem to be pulling it together recently. On the other hand, Iowa has gone undefeated other than a loss against No. 1 Penn State. The following is a weight-by-weight preview of the match. 125: No.1 Spencer Lee (Iowa) vs. No. 28 Reece Witcraft (Oklahoma State) The three-time NCAA champion has started his final season with an undefeated 13-0 record. He has scored bonus points in all but one of his matches. Two weeks ago, No. 7 Patrick McKee (Minnesota) just barely managed to hang on to a regular decision, as he dropped his match by a 7-1 score. Lee got back to his bonus point ways this past Sunday with an 11-2 major decision over No. 17 Jack Medley (Michigan). In his 13 matches on the year, Lee has already bested five of the other top-10 ranked wrestlers at the weight in the InterMat rankings. Witcraft qualified for the 2020 NCAA tournament at 133 pounds as a true freshman. He has competed mostly in a reserve role since that season, but he bumped down to 125 pounds when a spot in the starting lineup opened earlier this month. Witcraft made his season debut at 125 on Feb. 3 and now has four matches under his belt. His lone win this year at weight came last week when he scored a 9-5 decision over No. 29 Tanner Jordan (South Dakota State). The Cowboy’s job here will be to keep it close and avoid giving up bonus points. Unfortunately, Witcraft has been pinned five times in his college career, and he has given up bonus points in both of his matches against Iowa wrestlers. Look for Lee to spend a little extra time on top working for the fall in this one. For the full article, Subscribe to InterMat's Rokfin Page

NC State 157 lber Ed Scott (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) First, an apology. It’s been one of those weeks where nothing seems to go right and there doesn’t seem to be enough time to get the to-do list checked off. I finished my recap of last week’s action but never got it sent to the man in charge to publish. Mea culpa. So, this week will be a mix of a recap and a look forward to Friday's action. We have a few big-picture happenings from last week that have a major bearing on how the conference shakes out. Pitt went into Raleigh undefeated in the ACC and had the chance to effectively run away with the dual title but the reigning ACC champion Wolfpack stood in the way. NC State dominated the dual and won 7 of 10 matches to set up a potential 3-way tie for the dual title. The Hokies also traveled to North Carolina and controlled their match against the Tar Heels, winning 8 of 10 matches. The final dual pitted Duke and Virginia with both teams looking for their first conference win. Virginia dominated on senior night en route to a 45-3 dual win and giving the team some much-needed momentum. We also had several key individual matches that went down. The biggest on the list was Austin O’Connor taking on Bryce Andonian--both were undefeated going in and the potential 1-seed for the ACC tournament was on the line. O’Connor put on an absolute clinic on how to wrestle Andonian. He pushed with his attacks and finished cleanly to block any counters; he also didn’t stay in the upper body ties where Andonian is so dangerous. O’Connor won by major--the largest point spread in the series between the two. All that being said…these two will likely meet again, and Robie and company will have Andonian prepared for the rematch. Also in the dual, Eddie Ventresca, who will be the starter moving forward, upset Jack Wagner at 125. In a rematch from early in the season, Lachlan McNeil avenged his loss to Tom Crook with a major decision in the dual. In the final ranked matchup, Hunter Bolen took a dominating 10-3 decision over Gavin Kane. In Raleigh, Nino Bonaccorsi won in sudden victory over Isaac Trumble in a match with a wildly-entertaining finish and some incredible scrambles from the 197-pounders. Also in that dual, Cole Matthews won by a decision over Ryan Jack in a top-5 battle. Owen Trephan upset Dayton Pitzer at 285 and Kai Orine knocked off Micky Phillippi by riding time in tiebreakers to close out the night for the Wolfpack. Moving into this week we have the big storyline of three teams--Pitt, NC State and Virginia Tech--all looking to earn a share of the ACC dual title. With wins, they will all be 4-1 in conference--Virginia Tech beat NC State, NC State beat Pitt, Pitt beat Virginia Tech. The ACC recognizes multiple dual champs, without regard to head-to-head wins, so we won’t have to get down to Criteria H for this one. The other big thing we are watching is who will position themselves for top seeds at the ACC tournament in two weeks. There have been a lot of upsets in the past few weeks, so why not add more chaos this week? Duke at #16 Pittsburgh The Blue Devils will head to Pittsburgh for a Saturday afternoon tilt with the Panthers. With a win, Pitt will secure a share of the ACC dual title. The dual will serve as senior night for the Panthers; Micky Phillippi, Nicholas Meglino, Dazjon Casto, Nino Bonaccorsi and Jake Slinger will be recognized before the dual. There will be no ranked-versus-ranked matchups in this dual, but keep an eye on 285. Jonah Neiesenbaum enters the dual undefeated in the conference and is looking to lock up a #1 seed for the ACC tournament. Pitt is looking to rebound from a loss to NC State and grab some momentum moving into the postseason. 125: Colton Camacho vs Ethan Grimminger 133: #10 Micky Phillippi vs Logan Agin 141: #3 Cole Matthews vs Christian Colman 149: #29 Tyler Badgett vs Patrick Rowland 157: Dazjon Casto vs Logan Ferrero 165: #22 Holden Heller vs Gabe Dinette 174: #33 Luca Augustine vs OPEN 184: #17 Reece Heller vs Luke Chakonis 197: #1 Nino Bonaccorsi vs Vincent Baker 285: Jake Slinger vs #18 Jonah Neisenbaum Virginia at #7 Virginia Tech The Commonwealth Clash, mat edition, will go down on Friday night in Blacksburg. Virginia is coming off their first ACC win and are looking to build on the momentum from a great night in Charlottesville. The Hokies are looking to capture a share of the ACC dual title with a win and keep their winning streak over the Hoos alive. The Hokies will honor their senior class tonight--this class has played a major role in the growth of the program; Hunter Bolen, Mekhi Lewis, Collin Gerardi, Jordan Florence, Brandon Wittenberg, and Drew Nicholson will all be honored tonight. There will be a few interesting matches to watch in this one tonight: 149: This will pit ranked versus ranked with Caleb Henson and Jarod Verkleeren. Henson is coming off a down performance--by his impressive metrics thus far--against UNC last week. Verkleeren is fresh off of one of his best offensive displays since he’s been at UVA. This could be a fun one. 157: Jake Keating came into the season with a top-15 ranking but has struggled through injuries this year. He seems to be getting back to that form we expected and looked phenomenal last week--best he has looked all season. He will take on Bryce Andonian who is coming off his first loss of the year to Austin O’Connor. I would expect to see a higher offensive output from Andonian tonight, it will be a matter of whether Keating can use his strong counter-offense game to capitalize. 165: Sneaky good matchup here. Brady is very difficult to score on and McCoy has a high attack rate. McCoy could blow this open, or Brady could shut him down completely as he has done to some of the best in the country. 184: I’ve been saying all year that 184 is a minefield in the ACC. This match has that potential as well. Bolen is the obvious favorite, but Antrassian is dangerous. This one will have a lot of seeding implications. 197: Two Virginia natives getting after it in the Commonwealth Clash, you’ve gotta love it. This could be a great match too. Smith has had a roller coaster year, with some massive upsets and some head-scratching losses. Battista is rounding into form at the end of the season and has looked great the last few weeks. Probables 125 – No. 23 Eddie Ventresca vs Patrick McCormick 133 – No. 6 Sam Latona vs Marlon Yarbrough II 141 – No. 12 Tom Crook or Collin Gerardi vs Dylan Cedeno 149 – No. 8 Caleb Henson vs No. 26 Jarod Verkleeren 157 – No. 5 Bryce Andonian vs Jake Keating 165 – No. 27 Connor Brady vs No. 17 Justin McCoy 174 – No. 3 Mekhi Lewis vs Vic Marcelli 184 – No. 7 Hunter Bolen vs No. 16 Neil Antrassian 197 – No. 22 Andy Smith vs No. 25 Michael Battista 285 – No. 19 Hunter Catka vs Ethan Weatherspoon #8 North Carolina State at #27 North Carolina The final rivalry dual will play out in Chapel Hill on Friday night with the Wolfpack looking to grab a share of the ACC dual title with a win over the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels enter on a losing skid, having dropped their last two after opening ACC competition 2-0. The Wolfpack have reeled off three straight after an opening night loss to Virginia Tech. Looking at the probables for tonight, we have a whole lot of “OR” on both sides of the lineup--so I’m not sure what matchups we will actually get to see. But, there are some great potential matches. 125: This match will have big seeding implications if Trombley gets the go. Trombley is coming off a big win over Camacho and is 4-0, while Wagner just took his first conference loss to Ventresca to move to 3-1. 141: Lachlan McNeil has been wrestling at the level I hoped he would be at all season. He really seems to be figuring things out at the right time. Jack just took his first loss in a battle with Cole Matthews. Both of them are 3-1 in conference and Jack holds a 3-1 win over McNeil last season. 157: Put this in bold on the matches I hope we see. Austin O’Connor dominated Bryce Andonian last week and remains undefeated. Scott had a big loss to Andonian but otherwise has looked amazing in the second half of the season. Major fireworks potential here. No. 27 North Carolina vs. No. 8 NC State 125: No. 24 Jack Wagner vs. No. 22 Jarrett Trombley or Troy Hohman 133: Jace Palmer vs. No. 18 Kai Orine or Jacob Cox 141: No. 9 Lachlan McNeil vs. No. 6 Ryan Jack 149: No. 28 Zach Sherman or Wil Guida vs. No. 17 Jackson Arrington or Finn Solomon 157: No. 2 Austin O'Connor vs. No. 7 Ed Scott or Luke Ahrberg 165: Joey Mazzara or Gino Esposito vs. Derek Fields or No. 26 Matty Singleton 174: No. 12 Clay Lautt or Michael Goldfeder vs. No. 28 Alex Faison or Brock DelSignore 184: No. 11 Gavin Kane vs. No. 3 Trent Hidlay or Dylan Fishback 197: Max Shaw or Cade Lautt vs. No. 8 Isaac Trumble or Christian Knop HWT: Aydin Guttridge or Brandon Whitman vs. No. 11 Owen Trephan or Tyrie Houghton

Gardner-Webb 165 lber Rodrick Mosley (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) This is our last week of the regular season - what!! I was talking to my godfather the other day at dinner about college sports this season. He mentioned that this season for college basketball in particular has been rather unpredictable - if you take a look at college wrestling, this season has had a lot of twists, turns, injuries, and upsets. You name it, it’s probably happened. This weekend for the Southern Conference was no exception. Last week - the action kicked off on Friday, with Gardner-Webb traveling to Chattanooga for a heart-racing dual. The Mocs won the dual 19-16, coming down to the wire at the heavyweight bout. Logan Andrew (UTC) had a dominating 8-1 victory over Abe Preston (GWU) to seal the deal and secure a win, bouncing back from the loss against App State the previous weekend. #11 Rocky Jordan (UTC, 174) put some bonus points on the board, securing a first-period fall over Andrew Wilson (GWU). The Runnin’ Bulldogs had some key wins for the evening - at 165 #24 RJ Mosley posted a 16-5 major decision over Kamdyn Munro and at 184 Jha’Quan Anderson won in sudden-victory overtime against #26 Matthew Waddell. Gardner-Webb fought HARD this dual - this would have been a huge upset for the Runnin’ Bulldogs. Also on Friday, Campbell traveled to Bellarmine where they picked up another victory against the Knights 34-15, to remain undefeated in the Southern Conference. Victories for the Knights came in forfeits at 157 and 174, while at 165 Cole Nance (BU) picked up an 11-5 decision over Dom Baker (CU). A nail-biter of the evening was at 149 - Campbell’s Chris Rivera defeated Zac Cowan in sudden-victory overtime, picking up the final win of the evening for the Camels. Bellarmine turned around to host The Citadel on Saturday, boasting a 22-14 win. The Knights won six of the ten bouts of the evening. If y’all couldn’t tell, I love when matches go into overtime. Zac Cowan (149) seems to enjoy that too, finding himself in the same position two duals in a row, this time against Ethan Willis, and with the takedown to win the match. Cowan’s win at 149 kicked off a string of wins all through 197, to lead Bellarmine to victory over the Bulldogs. The Citadel picked up major decision victories at 125 and 133, while posting decisions at 141 and heavyweight. Sunday kicked off with action in Clinton, SC - Presbyterian hosted Gardner-Webb for their Senior Day, winning by a tight margin of 19-18. The match started off in favor of the Blue Hose, and quickly became tied after reaching the 165lb weight class. The dual came down to the heavyweight bout - much like Friday for the Runnin’ Bulldogs, and heavyweight Malcolm Wiley (PC) snuck in a bonus point to tip the scales in favor of the Blue Hose. Tyler Brignola (157) and RJ Mosley (165) brought the thunder with major decision and tech fall wins. Campbell traveled to Chattanooga, continuing their undefeated streak with a 24-13 victory over the Mocs. #22 Domenic Zaccone (CU, 133) swooped in with a sudden victory overtime upset over #18 Brayden Palmer (UTC), alternatively, we saw at 184 #33-ranked Matthew Waddell (UTC) beat #32 Caleb Hopkins (CU) in a close 4-3 decision. #11 Rocky Jordan (UTC, 174) does what Rocky Jordan does, and served up a 10-1 major decision victory over Riley Augustine (CU). The Camels had two falls at 157 and heavyweight, Troy Nation and #17 Taye Ghadiali racked up those extra bonus points to secure the victory for the Camels. Gardner-Webb bounced back from two tough losses to win against the ACC’s Duke, 30-10. Walking away with seven out of ten match victories, Drew West (125) and Todd Carter (133) posted two falls to start the dual. The two losses of the evening were at 149 and 197. The question I think most of us have asked this season is “who’s going to take home the conference championship title?” Well, that gets answered this Sunday at 2:00pm in Boone at Varsity Gym. Undefeated foes Appalachian State and Campbell University go head-to-head in a newly-forged rivalry. This will be a day of duals for the Mountaineers, as they face off against Presbyterian College and Davidson College after battling it out against the Camels. Both teams have wrestled tough schedules this season, both teams have great conditioning, both teams have their share of ranked guys. I’ll be there and will for SURE keep y’all updated on all the fun that goes down this Sunday. The dual can also be streamed on The Grind’s Rokfin page - if you head to our Live Streaming Guide you can check out all the action you don’t want to miss!

Patrick Glory at the 2022 NCAA Championships (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Well, it’s the last weekend of duals for the season and that makes for a sad Jagger. I don’t know what it is about the second half of the regular season that makes it go by so quickly. Maybe it's the anticipation of getting through the winter. Maybe it’s the lack of holidays as a distraction. Maybe it’s Maybelline. All I know is that it’s almost over and Hayden Hidlay was so upset about not having duals to watch anymore that he came out of retirement and started wrestling again just to have something to occupy his time with until next November. So, without further ado, let’s get to the final dual meet mailbag of the season. Cleveland State’s at Rider this Saturday. I need to know if it’s Taylor Ham or pork roll, and if there’s any recommendations for dinner Friday night. #GoVikes Devin Schroder You’re in pork roll country, my man. I live in Taylor ham country. What does it mean? Nothing, really. Except it would behoove you to get a PR/TH, egg and cheese on a bagel while you’re in town. It’s fine, you don’t have to make 125 anymore. Then, as my dear friend Dan Seifring pointed out, you can drive ten miles to De Lorenzo’s Tomato Pies. I trust Dan’s opinion on food. Besides co-running WrestleStat, he has a secret life as a dessert-testing, Tik Tok influencer. Not making this up. Enjoy the weekend in Jersey! What skill position player (WR/QB/DB/RB) from the Super Bowl do you think makes the deepest run at NCAA’s. I like Jalen Hurts squat numbers, but Iike AJ Brown’s size. The Kid Smoke Drip Costanza The funny thing about football and wrestling is that a guy like Hurts plays quarterback and if he wrestled he'd likely be a heavyweight. Football players are just huge. Get him down to 197 and I think he’s absolutely lethal. I do think James Bradberry could make some noise as long as he doesn’t get called for a headgear pull. Too soon? I don’t care. Too soon is what I do. Who finishes higher at NCAA’s between Missouri and Iowa State? Pelikan Head You have to take Mizzou right now but it’s still very close. ISU losing their 125’ hurts and the Tigers are just so strong from top to bottom. They’re also more of a veteran team. Swiderski and Paniro Johnson are both stars in the making, but March can be harsh to freshman wrestlers. Bastida has shown he’s jumped levels but the struggles on bottom are still visible, but he won’t outscore Rocky Elam in the tournament overall anyway. The good news for Cyclones fans (myself included) is that this team isn’t going anywhere and should only improve on what has been a sensational season. Why is the Indiana State Finals way better than New Jersey’s so-called State Finals? Indiana Mat Because it isn’t? Don’t get me wrong, I dig the single-class tournament over whatever it is they do in states like Virginia and Georgia but there’s one thing you don’t have, Atlantic City. I’m sure John Mellencamp Arena or wherever you have it is nice, but it’s not as fun as Atlantic City. The smartest thing New Jersey did in recent years was moving the whole thing up a day to get the finals on Saturday night instead of late Sunday afternoon. The problem was that by Sunday most fans have checked out of their room and don’t want to hang out until 4 PM to watch the finals. Now. you’ve got everyone locked in for Saturday night then they can go party somewhere afterward. A genius move from a genius state. Maybe I’ll finally make my way down there one of these years. You want to come to Big Tens with me? I have some extra tickets. Oldest and Greatest I just told you I don't even drive two hours away to go to my own state’s tournament. Go to Michigan? In March? Alright, I’m in. Have you visited the EIWA Tournament Central? Kevin McGuigan I did now. Did you know that this is the 119th edition of the tournament? Almost as old as I am! I mean, the Titanic hadn’t even been built yet when they had the first one. Teddy Roosevelt was coaching Army at the time. Daton Fix was still in redshirt. Yale had a wrestling team! And why don't they have a team, anyway? Get off the yacht for a minute and put a headgear on. Should the NCAA implement a mandatory smoke break between periods two and three? Or should it just be before overtime? Really need to see who has the gas to finish the match. Joel (football hater) Definitely between the last two periods. I’m not really the biggest fan of overtime since it’s usually because two guys refused to do anything for seven minutes already and I just don’t need more of that. Sure, a tight, low-scoring match between two top guys with a lot on the line is interesting, but that’s not always the case. Now you make two guys suck down a heater between periods, I guarantee you someone is going to their back and that match will be more exciting for it. Think of it like the runner on second rule in baseball. Is Jags a "duals should always start at the lowest weight draw/pick last match" guy? Rhino I suppose I’m indifferent to it for the most part. It’s the transition from heavyweight to 125 that bugs me the most. I do find the strategy, if any, interesting and would like to discuss it with a coach one day to see if it really matters to them that much. Should there be a special mat used only for Jagger Night? If so, what would you like the design to be? Old School Wrestling Clips (Stalemates Award Winner) Well, my gothic friend, Jagger Night at Rutgers is already plenty special. But I admit a personal mat would be icing on the cake. They already start duals off with the symbolic Jagger smoke so let’s really up the celebration here. Luckily, my good friend at Virtual NCAAS already designed a mat for the occasion. If he’s reading this, maybe he will even tweet it out for you. Should college wrestlers be able to wear Luchador masks while competing? Hijo de JL Vice Absolutely they should. We also need more aerial maneuvers from the lightweights. Does Rutgers go 10 for 10 on Natty champs this year? Who do you think has the best shot at bringing gold back to Jersey? CEO of Italians I don’t see why not. Surprised it hasn’t happened already. Other than that, I guess Pat Glory has the best chance of bringing gold back. It looks like his shoulder is ok after last week and if he can hang with Spencer until the smoke break between periods then he’s got a real shot at it.

InterMat Staff posted an article in College
J'den Cox at the 2022 World Championships (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) 57 KG #1 Zavur Uguev (RUS) won the Ivan Yarygin Memorial over #2 (61) Akhmed Idrisov with #14 Azamat Tuskaev (RUS) and #13 Ramiz Gamzatov (RUS) taking bronze.

From the results of the Yarygin, Idrisov slides in #4 in the rankings based on his victories over #1 (61) Muslim Mekhtikhanov (RUS), #2 (61) Abasgadzhi Magomedov (RUS), #11 Ramiz Gamzatov (RUS), #12 Azamat Tuskaev (RUS), and Chebodaev. Chebodaev debuts in the 57 KG rankings at #13 for beating Mongush. Tuskaev moves up two spots to #12 for beating Chebodaev for bronze at the Yarygin. Gamzatov moves up two spots to #11 for beating Mekhtikhanov and Abdurakhimov. 2019 Russian Nationals runner-up Muslim Sadulaev (RUS) is back in the rankings at #18 for beating #18 Petr Kopylov (RUS) in the qualification round of the Yarygin. Nick Suriano (USA) won the Henri Deglane Grand Prix over Diamantino Iuna of Guinea Bissau. Bronze medalists at the Henri Deglane Grand Prix were Valentin Damour (FRA) and Giorgi Gegelashvili (GEO). 61KG #9 Muslim Mekhtikhanov (RUS) won the Ivan Yarygin Memorial over Tuvshintulga Tumenbileg (MGL) with #1 Abasgadzhi Magomedov (RUS) and #12 Cherman Tavitov (RUS) taking bronze. Mekthikhanov moves up eight spots to take the #1 spot in the rankings after beating #1 Abasgadzhi Magomedov (RUS) in the semifinals. 2018 Senior World bronze medalist Tumenbileg returns to the rankings at #10 for his wins over Tavitov, 2022 Yarygin runner-up #12 Fedor Baltuev (RUS) and 2022 Yarygin bronze medalist Abdurakhman Rasulov (RUS). Baltuev is back in the rankings at #12 based on past wins over 2022 57 KG Senior World champion #3 (57) Zelimkhan Abakarov (ALB), #11 Ulukbek Zholdoshbekov (KGZ), 2019 Russian Nationals bronze medalist Dinislam Takhtarov (RUS). Taiyrbek Zhumashbek Uulu (KGZ) moves up five spots in the rankings to #13 for beating #11 Ulukbek Zholdoshbekov (KGZ) in the finals of the Kyrgyz National Championships. Austin DeSanto (USA) won the Henri Deglane Grand Prix over Shelton Mack (USA) with #20 Nahshon Garrett (USA) and Giorgi Goniashvili (GEO) taking bronze. #20 Nahshon Garrett (USA) drops out of the rankings due to his semifinal loss from the Henri Deglane Grand Prix to Austin DeSanto (USA). 65KG #6 Shamil Mamedov (RUS) won the Ivan Yarygin Memorial over #12 Gadzhimurad Rashidov (RUS) with Danil Kharchilava (RUS) and #10 Ibragim Ibragimov (RUS) taking bronze. Mamedov notched significant wins over #9 Ramazan Ferzaliev (RUS) and Ibragimov to make the Yarygin finals. Rashidov notched wins over the likes of Kharchilava and Ramazan Bagavudinov (RUS) to make the finals. Kharchilava debuts in the rankings at #13 for taking bronze at the Yarygin where he beat #13 Aripgadzhi Abdulaev (RUS), Bagavudinov, and Magomed Baitukaev (RUS). Bagavudinov debuts in the rankings at #14 for beating #11 Gadzhimurad Omarov (RUS) in the round of 16. Baitukaev debuts in the 65 KG rankings at #18 for beating #16 Elbrus Valiev (RUS) in the qualification round of the Yarygin. Rashidov moves up five spots in the rankings for his ranked wins over Kharchilava and Bagavudinov along with the fact he has career wins over #2 Takoto Otoguro (JPN), #3 Ismail Musukaev (HUN), and #4 Haji Aliyev (AZE). The only thing that limits Rashidov is his multiple losses (2022 All-Russian Spartakiad finals, 2023 Yarygin finals) to Mamedov. Patricio Lugo (USA) won the Henri Deglane Grand Prix over Kizhan Clarke (GER) with Ridge Lovett (USA) and Marwane Yezza (FRA) taking bronze. Of note, this was 2022 141 LB NCAA runner-up Kizhan Clarke's international debut competing for Germany. Clarke notched strong wins over the likes of Lovett and Evan Henderson (USA) to make the finals. 70KG #6 Evgheni Zherbaev (RUS) won the Ivan Yarygin Memorial by tech fall over #12 Inalbek Sheriev (RUS) with #17 Konstantin Kaprynov (RUS) and Kurban Shiraev (RUS) taking bronze. Zherbaev was an absolute force at the Yarygin, tech falling or pinning all his competition and notching ranked wins over Sheriev, #8 Kaprynov, #9 Anzor Zakuev (RUS), and #20 Arpak Sat (RUS). Kaprynov makes the biggest jump in the rankings, moving up nine spots to #8 for beating #8 Zakuev in the bronze medal match. Sheriev moves up five spots to #7 for beating a pair of European champions in #9 Israil Kasumov (RUS) and Shiraev. 2022 All-Russian Spartakiad champion Shiraev is back in the rankings at #10 for beating Kasumov in the bronze medal match. #3 Alec Pantaleo (USA) won the Henri Deglane Grand Prix over Giorgi Tchokadze (GEO) with Kevin Henkel (GER) and Cody Chittum (USA) taking bronze. 74KG #1 Zaurbek Sidakov (RUS) won the Ivan Yarygin Memorial over #11 Timur Bizhoev (RUS) with #6 David Baev (RUS) and #7 Cherman Valiev (RUS) taking bronze. Bizhoev moves up five spots to #6 for beating the likes of Baev, #13 Magomed Dibirgadzhiev (RUS), and #14 Iman Ganishov (RUS) to take bronze. A minor adjustment in the rankings was Ganishov moving up three spots to #11 due to a win in December from the International Khasavyurt Tournament over #9 Ruslan Bogatyrev (RUS) I did not originally account for. Joey Lavallee (USA) won the Henri Deglane Grand Prix over Vincenzo Joseph (USA) with Collin Purtinton (USA) and Rasul Altemirov (FRA) taking bronze. 79KG #3 Akhmed Usmanov (RUS) won the Ivan Yarygin Memorial over #13 Gadzhimurad Alikhmaev (RUS) with #5 Radik Valiev (RUS) and Azret Ulimbashev (RUS) taking bronze.

Ruslan Chertkoev (RUS) debuts in the rankings at #19 for beating #20 Zagid Karimov (RUS) to make the Yarygin finals. 2010 74 KG Russian Nationals runner-up Ruslan Valiev made a successful international debut for France, winning the Henri Deglane Grand Prix over 2018 Senior World bronze medalist Taimuraz Friev (ESP) with Uri Kalashnikov (ISR) and Akhmed Aibuev (FRA) taking bronze. An interesting fact to note from the Henri Deglane is that both finalists are former Russian Nationals medalists, with Valiev and Friev both originally hailing from North Ossetia-Alania where Valiev took silver at the 2010 74 KG Russian Nationals tournament and Friev took bronze at the 2008 and 2009 74 KG Russian Nationals tournament. 92KG #17 Alan Bagaev (RUS) won the Ivan Yarygin Memorial over #12 Vladislav Valiev (RUS) with #9 Ashkab Saadulaev (RUS) and #10 Azamat Zakuev (RUS) taking bronze. Bagaev makes the biggest jump in the rankings at 92 KG, moving up nine spots to #8 for his wins over Saadulaev and #12 Vladislav Valiev (RUS) at the Yargin.

Kurbanov moves up one spot for his win over 2022 European champion Zhabrailov in the finals. Kurbanov also notched wins over the likes of #15 Shamil Musaev (RUS) and Dzhioev to make the finals. Zhabrailov had higher-ranked wins in the form of #12 Igor Ovsyannikov (RUS) and #16 Ramazan Shakhbanov (RUS). Ovsyannikov moves up five spots to #12 for his victories over #11 Sergey Kozyrev (RUS) and #20 Aslanbek Sotiev (RUS).

Nika Berulava (GEO) won the Henri Degane Grand Prix over Christian Lance (USA) with Gennadij Cudinovic (GER) and Catriel Muriel (ARG) taking bronze.

2022 NCAA Runner-Up Ridge Lovett (photo courtesy of SJanickiPhoto.com) Congratulations are in order, or maybe condolences depending on how last week went. You could be like me in one of my leagues, who started off with three straight losses and in Week 4 won by a score of 6 Fpts to 4 Fpts, to make it to the Championship Dual. You could also be like me in one of my leagues who lead the league in points and dual wins from Week 1 to Week 14, only to have one slip up in the Playoffs and now fighting for 3rd place. On the fantasy standings front, 285 Wyatt Hendrickson (AF) closed the gap to within 6 Fpts against 285 Mason Parris (MICH) who leads the overall standings with 112 Fpts. With both teams having one dual left, that means if Hendrickson pins (which he is projected to do), and Mason does not wrestle or win, then Hendrickson becomes your 2023 Fantasy Wrestler of the Year. If Mason Parris wrestles and wins, then he is crowned the Fantasy Champ. Helping put Hendrickson in this position was a strong week 15 with two pins (12 Fpts). But the Week 15 Fantasy Wrestler may not be a household name: 133 TJ England wrestled five matches and scored 14 Fpts to take the week. On to the FINAL week of the WrestleStat season: Week 16. The Last Chance Open could be your savior or the reason for your demise. Unfortunately, limited entry info is currently available, but there will still be time even after some teams lock on Thursday 2/16. Teams locking on Thursday at Noon include: Arizona State, CSU Bakersfield, Edinboro, Lock Haven, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State.

Lehigh 197 lber Michael Beard (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) As the season is winding down, we saw Penn defeat Drexel in the Battle of Philadelphia and Mason Leiphart earned his 13th tech fall of the season. With so much depth in the conference, there are many seeding implications occurring every week. The conference tournament may be the best we’ve seen in years! This week’s OW is Ben Pasiuk of Army. His win over fifth-ranked Mickey O’Malley of Drexel has brought his career record to 2-0 against the former round of 12 Dragon wrestler. Pasiuk is now the 17th-ranked wrestler at 174 lbs. In terms of seeding, this may have solidified him into the 2 or 3 seed at conferences, opposite of nationally fourth-ranked Chris Foca. From a team perspective, this was a pivotal win in the dual meet to help propel Army over Drexel. American The Eagles hosted Lock Haven and Air Force, dropping both matches (24-9 to LHU, and 28-13 to AFA). The match against Lock Haven saw wins from Raymond Lopez – wrestling up at 141 lbs. Caleb Campos (165 lbs) earned a major decision. The team’s third win came at 197 lbs, with Connor Bourne’s injury default victory. Interestingly, Bourne had an injury default against Lock Haven as well. The dual with Lock Haven had nine decisions, with American winning one of them. At 157 lbs, Jack Nies beat a tough Ashton Eyler. At 165 lbs, Campos lost in overtime to #32 Avery Bassett. Although the score indicates a dominant win by Lock Haven - it was quite the opposite. The largest deficit in a loss was five points. Max Leete wrestled #11 Anthony Noto to a tough 5-2 loss - which I feel is notable. This team is wrestling tough. It looks like Lopez has found a spot at 141 lbs, beefing up from 125 lbs – where he saw action earlier in the year. This week, American will host Binghamton for Senior Day. They will then wrestle at Penn and Drexel Sunday to conclude the dual meet season. Army West Point The Black Knights took a trip to Drexel, ending the Dragons’ six-match win streak, winning 20-12. Nate Lukez started the match at 157 lbs, earning a major. The two upsets occurred at 174 lbs and 184 lbs. Ben Pasiuk (#18 @ 174 lbs) handed returning EIWA champ and fifth-ranked Mickey O’Malley his first loss of the year. At 184 lbs, Sahm Abdulrazzaq upset #25 Brian Bonino 2-1 in tiebreakers. Ethan Berginc (#30 @ 125 lbs) worked for a major decision to pull Army ahead. To close out the dual, Julian Sanchez (141 lbs) and Trae McDaniel (149 lbs) each had wins. McDaniel defeated #30 Nichter, as he continues to stay hot. Expect him in the rankings soon. This team is looking very good at the right time. The last dual of the season is the all-important Army vs Navy dual, hosted by Army on Sunday afternoon. Binghamton The Bearcats took on #5 Cornell at Hilton High School in New York. This was the high school of Binghamton’s Collin Burns, plus Sam and Lou DePrez (along with Yianni and Greg Diakomihalis). The Bearcats earned a win at 125 lbs by Micah Roes. At 165 lbs, #31 Brevin Cassella also earned a win. BU had a fall from Jacob Nolan (#22 @ 184 lbs). The match of the night (at least on paper) was at heavyweight. Cory Day (#27) won over Brendan Furman (#30). This week’s duals include matches at American and Maryland on Friday. Head Coach Kyle Borshoff will be inducted into the American Athletics Hall of Fame due to his success as an athlete during the match. Brown The Bears had two conference matches this weekend, beating LIU 27-18 and losing to Columbia 36-3. Hunter Adrian went 2-0 on the weekend, including an overtime win against Angelo Rini of Columbia. At 149 lbs, Blake Saito won his lone bout over a game Drew Witham of LIU. Sam McMonagle performed well in his win over Rhise Royster of LIU at 157 lbs. The Bears saw two falls over the Sharks of LIU. Drew Clearie (174 lbs) and Aaron Wolk (197 lbs) were responsible for the pins. With another bonus point win, James Araneo (184 lbs) won via tech fall. The Columbia score looked lopsided, due to a forfeit at 125 lbs, and an injury default at 174 lbs. Besides one fall for Columbia, each match went the distance - and were even regular decisions. Coach Leen has shown this team’s steady improvement since taking over. The future is bright in Providence. If you need a dark horse candidate for the EIWA tournament, keep an eye on Hunter Adrian at 133 lbs. He has been rolling along nicely since his placing performance at Midlands. Bucknell The Bison hosted EIWA powerhouse, Lehigh. They fell to the Mountain Hawks 32-6. The match started off with a huge overtime win from Dylan Chappell at 149 lbs over Manzona Bryant. This win is impressive for two reasons. First, Bryant has been in the rankings this season. He’s very talented, so this was a great win by Dylan. Secondly, Chappell started the season at 133 lbs and has continued into the 141 lbs class. Now, he’s found a home at 149 lbs. Give him some time to develop into somewhat of a full-sized 149 lb wrestler and he can make some noise at EIWAs. Lehigh outmatched Bucknell in most of the lineup. The final bout was a great one at 141 lbs. Darren Miller (#32) took out a red-hot Malyke Hines (#23) to close out the dual. This team has talent in multiple weight classes. They will keep things interesting at conferences. This week's dual will be their final one. They host Princeton Friday night. Columbia The Lions hosted Harvard on Friday night - losing in an 18-17 thriller. The next day, they defeated Brown 36-3. At 197 lbs, Jack Wehmeyer was 2-0 on the weekend - earning one fall and a major. Matt Kazimir (#25 @ 141 lbs) was 2-0 in his two bouts as well. Danny Fongaro (149 lbs) and Cesar Alvan (#23 @ 157 lbs) both went undefeated over the weekend. We saw Josh Ogunsanya (#16 @ 165 lbs) wrestle one match, earning a win over Josh Kim of Harvard. Andrew Garr made an appearance at 165 lbs against Brown, defeating his opponent. Columbia is a good team, and they’ve improved since the beginning of the year. Keep them in mind when contemplating who will finish top-five in team standings at EIWAs. Columbia will host Maryland on Sunday for their final dual meet. This is a great opportunity to earn a team win to gain momentum for conferences. Cornell Fifth-ranked Cornell wrestled Binghamton at Hilton High School in New York. This was the high school of Yianni and Greg Diakomihalis (along with Binghamton’s Collin Burns, plus Sam and Lou DePrez). Highly ranked Vito Arujau (#3 @ 133 lbs) and Yianni Diakomihalis (#1 @ 149 lbs) each earned bonus point wins. Same for Jacob Cardenas (#14 @ 197 lbs), who made quick work with a first-period fall. Ethan Fernandez filled in at 141 lbs, earning a win. Newly acquainted 157 lber, Cole Handlovic earned another win. Lastly, #4 Chris Foca was a winner by major at 174 lbs. The Big Red will travel to Tampa this week to take on #6 Ohio State. This may be the best match of the week across the entire country. Drexel The Dragons hosted Army and Penn this weekend, dropping both matches. This ended their six-match win streak coming into the weekend. Army’s loss was 20-12, while Penn’s was 28-6. Mr. Consistency for the Dragons was 2-0 on the weekend. Evan Barczak (#16 @ 165 lbs) avenged three losses a season ago to Lucas Revano of Penn in the process. The other victory against Penn came from Brian Bonino (#25) at 184 lbs over #22 Max Hale. The upperweights in Sean O’Malley (197 lbs) and Santino Marina (285 lbs) each had pivotal wins over Army. Getting an appearance at 133 lbs for Drexel was Jaxon Maroney. He had a win over Army. The Dragons seem to be coming along as of late. Two minor hiccups this weekend do not change that. This weekend, they’ll have three bouts against Cleveland State and Rider at Rider. Sunday’s finale will be against American. Franklin & Marshall The Diplomats hosted local D2 rival in Millersville. They competed for the Rupp Cup, winning the dual 29-12. Mason Leiphart earned another tech fall, making that 13 on the year and three in a row. At 157 lbs, Nick Alvarez won via decision. Noah Fox won via tech fall at 174 lbs before F&M saw pins from both James Conway (184 lbs) and John Crawford (197 lbs). It was nice to see heavyweight Cenzo Pelusi put up points and earn a major decision. This team is done with dual meets for the season. Expect them to make some noise at EIWAs. Harvard The Crimson went 2-0 in action his weekend. They earned wins over Columbia (19-18) and Hofstra (25-11). They had Diego Sotelo (#18 @ 125 lbs) earn two wins, as did Philip Conigliaro (#20 @ 174 lbs) and Yara Slavikouski (#8 @ 285 lbs). One key win over Columbia came at 184 lbs, when Leo Tarantino won in overtime. The biggest win came at 133 lbs when Dante Frinzi pinned Angelo Rini in a huge swing match. Against Hofstra, The Crimson swept 141 lbs through 157 with wins by Joe Cangro, Jack Crook, and Trevor Tarsi. Harvard’s final dual is this weekend against Brown - at home. This team’s talent is young but starting to come to life. They have wins over Princeton and Columbia this season. I am excited to see them compete at EIWAs. Hofstra The Pride lost to Harvard 25-11 before beating Sacred Heart 43-6. Trey Rogers (#29 @ 197lbs) balled out with a tech and fall in two matches. At 184 lbs, #Jacob Ferreira was 2-0 on the week, as was Chase Liardi at 133 lbs. Hofstra scored two tech falls against SHU from Michael Leandrou (149 lbs) and Ross McFarland (174 lbs). At 141 lbs, Justin Hoyle earned a quick pin over Sacred Heart. Zachary Knighton-Ward’s match ended early with an injury default. Hofstra, unfortunately, fell victim to a hot Harvard squad. Their dominating win over Sacred Heart is a promising sign they are ready for EIWAs. They have a handful of wrestlers expected to place, but also have some bracket-buster-type of dudes as well. It will be an entertaining conference tournament with many of these guys wrestling as underdogs. This week’s final dual of the season is a home match against California Baptist. Lehigh The Mountain Hawks were 2-0 this weekend with wins over Bucknell (32-6) and Princeton (24-12). Back in action at 157 lbs, Josh Humphreys (#4) earned a major decision and fall on the weekend. Transfer-additions Tate Samuelson (#18 @ 184 lbs) and Michael Beard (#2 @ 197 lbs) each won both matches. Heavyweight, Nathan Taylor (#27) was victorious over two ranked opponents in Crosby (#29) of Bucknell and Stefanik (#30). It was a great weekend for him late in the season. Freshman Ryan Crookham took the win over #26 Kurtis Phipps of Bucknell, as he got the nod in one of the matches at 133 lbs. At 149 lbs, Max Brignola (#31) defeated NCAA qualifier Marshall Keller of Princeton. This team will compete for the EIWA title, along with Cornell and Penn. There are no more duals for them, so they will focus on peaking for March. Long Island The Sharks traveled to Brown, dropping their dual 27-18. They had a forfeit by Robbie Sagaris (125 lbs) and a pin by Blake Bahna at 165 lbs, but still came up short. Devin Matthews had a close win at 141 lbs. At 285 lbs, the Sharks saw a win from Aeden Begue to close out the dual. LIU had a lead heading into the 174 lbs match. Long Island has surprised many this year. Slow and steady progress has been their weekly talking point, it appears. Newly added coach, Jesse Dellavecchia, has made a huge impact on the middleweights. The EIWA’s newest team will be climbing rankings in no time. This week’s dual is at Sacred Heart. LIU won their matchup in November 18-17, coming down to the final bout. Let’s hope this one is just as exciting. Navy The Midshipmen were off this weekend. They prepare for their important battle away at Army. Penn The Quakers had themselves a nice weekend beating Princeton 19-15, and Drexel 28-6. At 133 lbs, Michael Colaiocco (#7) was 2-0 on the weekend. Carmen Ferrante (141 lbs) and Doug Zapf (#10 @ 149 lbs) both won two matches as well. Nick Incontrera (#13 @ 174 lbs) defeated Mickey O’Malley of Drexel (#5) in a revenge match from last year’s EIWA final. This team is clicking at the right time. They wrestle hard and are always working to score points. This week’s final dual of the season will be against American, at home. Princeton The Tigers had a tough weekend on the mats, falling to Penn 19-15 and then Lehigh 24-12. Patrick Glory was back at 125 lbs, earning two wins over tough opponents. NCAA runner-up, Quincy Monday, (#4 @ 165 lbs) was 2-0 on the weekend as well, with two wins over NCAA qualifiers. Kole Mulhauser had an impressive pin over Jake Logan of Lehigh. Against Penn, both Luke Stout (#19 @ 197lbs) and Travis Stefanik (#31 @ 285lbs) had wins over ranked opponents. The Tigers are one of the best teams in the conference. Do they have enough firepower to knock off Cornell? Probably not… But they’ll be in the race for second again. This week’s final dual will be at Bucknell Friday night. Sacred Heart The Pioneers were on the wrong side of a 43-6 loss to Hofstra. This was, overall, just a bad matchup. Hofstra’s strengths align with Sacred Heart’s; and proved to be a little stronger in this one. The middle of the line-up saw wins from Nick Palumbo (157 lbs) and Aidan Zarrella (165 lbs). Palumbo’s return from injury is a good sign for the team. He has been hit by the injury bug a little this season, but do not be shocked to see him quietly make a run at EIWAs. He’s already a conference runner-up, and NCAA qualifier. Zarrella has won three in a row. That’s good momentum to have last in the season. They will square off with LIU in a rematch won by LIU 19-18 in November. The following day, Brown comes to town.

National champions Keegan O'Toole (left) and David Carr (Photos Courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) As the regular season winds down this week, we’ll be treated to one of the most anticipated individual matchups of the year. Tonight, #3 Iowa State travels to meet #11 Missouri in a battle of Big 12 heavyweights. While there are excellent matches up-and-down the lineup, all eyes will be focused on the 165 lb bout featuring the top-two wrestlers in the nation. Anytime #1 and #2 wrestle, at any weight, it’s must-see, but this match goes a little farther than that. Top-ranked Keegan O’Toole (Missouri) and number-two David Carr (Iowa State) are both past national champions that went undefeated on the way to winning their respective chips. For the bulk of their collegiate career, both have typically been head-and-shoulders above the competition. What makes this match intriguing is that we’ve haven’t seen before on a collegiate mat. Before this season, Carr had done his damage at 157 lbs, but has moved up to O’Toole’s 165 lb class for the 2022-23 campaign. This also has the ability to be the first of many matches between the pair. A few weeks from now, the two could meet in the Big 12 finals. Two weeks after that, the NCAA finals, perhaps. Carr also has another year of eligibility remaining, so this rivalry could carry on into the 2023-24 season, provided both return at 165. So to get ready for the matchup this evening, we have compared and contrasted the careers of both wrestlers. At the end of the day, they have put up very similar results, which makes it even more difficult to project a winner. Current Ranking Keegan O’Toole: #1 David Carr: #2 2022-23 Record: O’Toole: 12-0 Carr: 18-0 Career Record: O’Toole: 56-1 Carr: 84-2 Current Winning Streak: For the full article, Subscribe to InterMat's Rokfin Page

Nebraska All-American Mikey Labriola against Ohio State (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) This week marked the end of the 2022-23 Big Ten dual schedule and the close of the regular season for some, while a few teams still have one more nonconference dual remaining. Penn State was named the Big Ten regular season champs, Maryland earned its first conference win since 2016 and wrestlers made final pushes to position themselves for Big Ten seeding. Here are our takeaways, and BIG Awards at the bottom! Hawkeyes beat up the Wolverines Iowa has been an interesting dual meet team this season. It's been pretty clear that they are the second-best team in the country since the start, but like most teams, injuries and some surprising results at times have had them wrestle some close duals at times this season. Wisconsin and Illinois were both closer than anyone would have guessed; however, this past Friday night in Carver Hawkeye arena we saw a team that is going to be dangerous in March. The Michigan Wolverines traveled to town in what was expected to be a fun dual to round out the B1G schedule for both teams. Sadly for Michigan, the season has taken out a lot of their wrestlers, leaving them without many of their starters. I expected we wouldn't get Mattin at 141, and Amine at 165, but not having Ragusin out there at 133 was a surprise, and the less-than-pleasant kind. Last I'd seen of Ragusin, he was being pinned by Daton Fix, so not sure if his missing the Iowa match was rest related, or if this is some injury concern. Ragusin did wrestle against Indiana, where he pinned his opponent, so I suspect this was just some preventative maintenance. On the flip side though, it was a pleasant kind of surprise seeing Chance Lamer back in the lineup for the Wolverines. He had a tough match against Max Murin at 149, but he remained competitive against a bruising veteran in the sixth-ranked Murin. The Hawkeyes looked really good though, taking out the Wolverine backups at 133, 141, and 165. What was very impressive though was Cobe Siebrecht's win over Will Lewan at 157. As expected in many Lewan matches, this match went to OT. Lewan was wrestling through a scramble, and just as you would expect him to secure the takedown for the win, Siebrecht essentially cartwheeled out of it, flipping Lewan briefly onto his back before having to bail on the position and losing the match. It was reminiscent of when Kendall Coleman of Purdue did a similar move to beat Lewan at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas tournament earlier this season. This is a loss that will likely put Lewan in a bad spot for B1G seeding, seeing as he now has losses to four B1G opponents. Lewan did pick up a win over Indiana's Derek Gilcher on Sunday, but that match also was decided in overtime. Not a lot of room for error if you're Will Lewan. Michigan did close out the dual with a win as Mason Parris beat Tony Cassioppi. If you're an Iowa fan though, there was a silver lining in the loss. This was the best Cassioppi has looked against Parris, getting a takedown, and being very much in the match and having momentum in the third period before giving up the deciding takedown. However, this loss essentially guarantees that Cassioppi will be on the same side of the B1G bracket as Penn State's Greg Kerkvliet. Maybe that's good, since he's beaten Kerkvliet in the past, but this season has been a bit of a different story. Michigan finishes up its season with a dual against Central Michigan this Sunday, and Iowa finishes their regular season with a dual against Oklahoma State Sunday as well. Iowa and Oklahoma State will be on B1G Network. Maryland gets first B1G win since 2016 Let's go back in time. In the year 2016, Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" was the number 1 song, Finding Dory was the number 1 movie, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the 73 win Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, and the NCAA Wrestling Championships were held in Madison Square Garden. That was the last time that Maryland had won a B1G dual, with a 26-10 victory over Michigan State. Okay, back to reality. I had figured Maryland and Purdue could be a close and exciting dual, but I didn't think it would be quite as close and exciting as it ended up being. I figured that Maryland matched up well with some of the tougher weights that Purdue would throw at them, and that the other matches were largely toss-ups. With the exception of 157, that's basically how the dual unfolded. At 125, Braxton Brown, coming off of a nice win over Dean Petersen of Rutgers, wrestled well against the third-ranked Matt Ramos of the Boilermakers. In the end, Ramos is still too dynamic, and ended up getting the regular decision (this will prove to be important later). In fact, the first three matches for Purdue were regular decision wins. Maryland got their first win of the dual at 149, where Ethen Miller got a major decision over Jaden Reynolds. The match was close at first, and had a lot of exciting scrambles, but Miller was able to break open the match in the third with several turns. Any momentum that win was supposed to generate was quickly extinguished as Purdue's sixth-ranked Kendall Coleman got a pin to extend the lead going into the break. Maryland won 4 of the next 5 weights, with a one-point win at 165 by John Martin Best and a last-second stall call and takedown to win by a point at 174 by sophomore Dominic Solis coming out of the break. Kevin Makosy's loss to Ben Vanadia of Purdue made it an eight-point dual headed into the last two matches. I'm not a genius, but I do know enough about arithmetic to know that nine points are tough to get in two college wrestling matches. Tough, but not impossible, as Jaxon Smith displayed so skillfully. It's really tough to pin someone in D1 college wrestling, and even more so when the opponent knows that their job is pretty much just to not get pinned. Didn't matter though, Jaxon's pin of Hayden Filipovich at the two-minute mark of the first period brought the score to 18-16 in favor of the Boilermakers, and put the pressure on Jaron Smith to get the win at home and snap the losing streak. As Babe Ruth said to Benny the Jet Rodriguez in the Sandlot, "Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die." This was a legendary win for Jaron, over a very tough Hayden Copass of Purdue, to get the 19-18 win for the Terrapins. Maryland's winning streak was short-lived as they took on top-ranked Penn State Sunday, but lots of teams lose to Penn State, so we are focusing on this win today. This ends their regular season B1G schedule, but they finish off their season with Binghamton at home this Friday, followed by Columbia on Sunday in New York. Border Brawl did not disappoint! Wisconsin and Minnesota was an awesome and intense dual, as expected. Gotta love it when the Twitter accounts of the programs are talking a little trash leading into the event. As is the case with many teams at this point in the season, there were some injury issues that caused both teams to substitute some of their starters, but it did not take away from the action. In fact, this one started off with a bang as Michael Blockhus got a takedown of backup Aiden Madora, stepping in for the recovering Austin Gomez. Dual meets come down to bonus points, and evidently, someone had told that to Michael Blockhus, who went out and got the pin for the Golden Gophers. In the end, Minnesota gets the dual victory, and it was well deserved and hard fought. Four of the matches were decided by one point, and another two came down to the last minute where a takedown sealed the deal. What stood out to me was the depth of Minnesota. They threw out freshman Drew Roberts in place of Brayton Lee at 157, who wrestled admirably against 18th-ranked Garrett Model. This was a back-and-forth match, with both wrestlers getting takedowns and reversals throughout the match. Roberts showed me that he's been developing very well and I expect him to be a consistent starter for Minnesota in the upcoming years. Additionally, they had Sam Skillings take the place of ninth-ranked Isaiah Salazar at 184. Skillings picked up a pivotal win over Tyler Dow of Wisconsin, who earlier this season had gotten a pin over Iowa's Abe Assad. Not throwing shade at Assad, just illustrating how this is an impressive win for a guy who isn't traditionally a starter for Minnesota. Arguably the biggest match of the dual came at 125 with Eric Barnett getting a win over Patrick McKee. This match was completely insane, with a variety of scrambles and a crazy situation with about 30 seconds left where McKee almost got the reversal, but Barnett held on and got the 5-4 win due to riding time. Barnett, who started the season off so strongly, has struggled a bit more of late, but this was a very nice victory to boost his confidence and to set himself up for the B1G tournament in Ann Arbor. McKee has shown that he will show up when the lights are brightest, so we've got another couple of weeks before he hits his stride. This dual came down to the last match as 14th-ranked Jake Bergeland of the Golden Gophers took on 28th-ranked Joey Zargo of the Badgers. Nothing but consistency from this dual, as this match, and ultimately the dual, was decided by 1 point. In fact, this one was a 1-0 win for Bergeland. This was one of those duals that you could show the average sports fan to illustrate what's great about wrestling. Great job by both programs. Wisconsin finishes their season with Northern Iowa this Saturday at 8pm CST on BTN+, and Minnesota is done competing until B1Gs in Ann Arbor. Penn State dominates its way to the Big Ten regular-season title Penn State put a pounding on its eastern Big Ten counterparts this past weekend, downing Rutgers and Maryland 38-8 and 44-3, respectively, for its third straight regular season conference title. This marked the ninth time the Nittany Lions have won, or shared, the Big Ten regular season title under head coach Cael Sanderson, and the eighth time they've gone without a loss or tie in the conference. While the feat was impressive, wrestlers Shayne Van Ness and Levi Haines were ready Sunday to move on to the next challenge. "I think it's a good accomplishment but at 12 o'clock tonight, that's over and we're on to the next day and we're looking forward to the next match," Van Ness said. Added Haines: "It's definitely a step in the right direction and an accomplishment, getting the first checkbox marked off and moving onto the next." But before we move on to the next thing, let's take a look at some stats that stand out from the Nittany Lions' dominant season: Penn State won by double digits in all but one dual, with the 9-point win over Iowa the exception Penn State's biggest margin of victory was by 41 points over Maryland Penn State earned pins in all duals except against Wisconsin and Rutgers Penn State's biggest pin total was three against Maryland Penn State earned bonus-point wins in all of its duals; its most (7) came against Maryland and Rutgers and Iowa limited the Nittany Lions to two Penn State had overtime matches in four duals, including two each against Michigan and Michigan State Penn State won its most amount of matches, 9, against Maryland and its least, 6, against Iowa Penn State racked up 38 takedowns each against Rutgers and Maryland; its least amount of takedowns was 16 against Iowa Penn State gave up the most amount of takedowns to Rutgers, 14, and the least to Iowa, 2 Penn State's largest takedown margin was 37 against Maryland, and its slimmest was 14 against Iowa Penn State's total takedown margin was 220-51 While these last two duals weren't the most competitive, there were still a few things that stood out, such as Roman Bravo-Young's eye-popping 14 takedowns against Maryland's King Sandoval. RBY leads his teammates 81-2 (12 matches) in takedowns, followed by Carter Starocci at 77-2 (15 matches). Also of note was Rutgers selling out Jersey Mike's Arena for the second time in program history. The 7,848 fans also marked the second-highest attendance in program history and increased the Scarlet Knights' average fan total to 5,018 this season, also its second-highest mark. Rutgers closed its regular season with a 27-10 loss to Nebraska, while Penn State has one final dual remaining, against Clarion on Sunday. "These dual meets are a big deal to us and our program, when you're going head-to-head with some rival schools. It's definitely a big deal to us," Sanderson said. "We want to compete well and we want to wrestle as well as we can in a dual. So, it's special. But like Shayne said, this is great but now we move on to the next one." Nebraska vs. Ohio State lives up to the hype We circled this dual as one to watch at the beginning of the season. And while the Buckeyes may have been down a few starters, the teams still delivered. The Cornhuskers were able to come away with a 25-16 win, but shorthanded Ohio State made them work for it. One of those Buckeyes was No. 20 Dylan D'Emilio at 141. Down 6-4 with 1:45 left in the third period, D'Emilio was looking to score. First, he spun out of a single-leg attempt in a 360 to come out on the other side of No. 5 Brock Hardy. While coach Tom Ryan hopped onto the mat with two fingers in the air, Hardy was able to roll out. D'Emilio wasn't done. "Twoooo" echoed throughout the Covelli Center as the sophomore had a takedown attempt near the edge with just over 30 seconds remaining. But again, he was denied by Hardy. Then as the final seconds ticked off the clock, D'Emilio got the takedown to send the bout into sudden victory. The sudden victory period was just as action-packed but Hardy eventually prevailed, 8-6. Despite the loss, D'Emilio showed he didn't have an ounce of quit. The Huskers found themselves in battles to fend off feisty Buckeyes at other weights, as well. Top-ranked Peyton Robb fired right out of the gate against No. 25 Paddy Gallagher at 157 with a takedown in the opening minute. But the freshman battled back and evened things up at 4 to start the third period. Like D'Emilio before him, Gallagher kept relentlessly pushing to get a takedown and nearly did as time expired, throwing Robb toward his back on a go-behind. But unlike D'Emilio, Gallagher didn't quite get the points, falling 5-4 as Robb remained unbeaten. Nebraska also took the most-anticipated match of the night - No. 2 Mikey Labriola vs. No. 6 Ethan Smith. But, again, Ohio State made them work for it. Tied 4-4 with just seconds remaining, this time it was Nebraska with the last-second takedown, as Labriola took the 6-4 win. This match was especially important with seedings for Big Tens right around the corner. A Smith win could have put him opposite Starocci with one conference loss and a head-to-head win. Liam Cronin also had a big win for the Huskers, a 3-1 decision in a top-10 battle against Malik Heinselman. Highlights for the Buckeyes were a pin from Sammy Sasso and true freshman Jesse Mendez hanging 22 points on Kyle Burwick. The Buckeyes showed a lot of fight and the Huskers showed resolve. Nebraska went on to take care of business against Rutgers on Sunday to finish its Big Ten slate 7-1 and solidly positioning itself as a trophy contender in March. Awards!!! Welcome to the fifth 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: No. 29 Henry Porter (IU) over No. 17 Rayvon Foley (MSU) Indiana traveled to East Lansing Friday night where Freshman Henry Porter picked up a 10-5 win over MSU's Rayvon Foley. Rayvon has had an up-and-down year, getting a win over Michigan's Dylan Ragusin earlier in the season, but also struggling at times in B1G competition. Nonetheless, getting a win like this for Porter, on the road, against a guy trying to get back onto the podium, is huge. A win like this should put Porter in a much better spot for the B1G tournament. B1Ggest Win: Jake Bergeland's decision over Joey Zargo to give Minnesota the win I value dual meets, so I'm going with Jake Bergeland's win over Joey Zargo to close out the dual on the road. A 1-0 win is tough to get at this level, but not for Jake Bergeland. His top game is so devastating that Zargo elected not to even try to get his escape point, and preferred to try to go on his feet to win the match. That's the sort of thing that will win matches in March, and to finish out a rivalry dual with such a gritty performance is B1G in my mind. Some would say, the B1Ggest. B1Ggest Move: Jaxon Smith's pin against Purdue Again, dual meets are valued here, so we are going with Jaxon Smith's pin in their dual against Purdue. At that point in the dual, the only way they would have a chance at winning was if Jaxon could secure six points in the second to last match. Sure, a tech could have done it possibly with some criteria stuff maybe, but having lost a dual to Indiana earlier this season on criteria, I'm sure the TerraPins (see what I did there) were not willing to take that risk. Jaxon was relentless, and you could see the energy explode out of him when he collected that fall. Jaxon set up the pins, and Jaron knocked them down. Lauren's picks B1Ggest upset: No. 19 Zac Braunagel (ILL) over No. 5 Yonger Bastida (ISU) As I wrote last week, every win at 197 is a big win. Being able to bounce back from two tough losses last week with a 4-3 win over No. 5 Yonger Bastida was especially big for Illinois' Zac Braunagel. With the win, Braunagel injects even more chaos into the weight class that's causing rankers across the country headaches. The pair traded takedowns, but not letting Bastinda escape after his takedown in the second and getting out with 11 seconds to go in the third was the difference-maker. Braunagel finished the regular season 20-5, including then-top-10 wins over Bastida and Jacob Warner. While it might not be easy to predict how this weight will get seeded in Big Tens and NCAAs, it is clear that Braunagel still belongs in the conversation. B1Ggest win(s): Nebraska's Liam Cronin over Malik Heinselman and Dean Peterson Liam Cronin had yet another strong weekend, adding a pair of top-20 wins to his resume with 3-1 decisions over No. 10 Malik Heinselman, of Ohio State, and No. 16 Dean Peterson, of Rutgers. With just Arizona State left on the schedule, Cronin finished the regular season with only one conference loss - to top-ranked Spencer Lee. Having taken care of business this past weekend, the Husker should be in a good position to avoid Lee's side of the bracket at Big Tens as the second or third seed. Cronin has really flourished this season, after missing most of last year due to injury. With one dual remaining, he sits at 17-3 overall, by far the best record in his fifth year of eligibility. B1Ggest move(s): Nebraska's Mikey Labriola late takedown against Ethan Smith and scramble against Jackson Turley Yes, I know, Labriola earned an honor last week but it was hard to not recognize him again this week. Not only did he fend off a hungry Ethan Smith with a last-second takedown (as detailed above), but he also earned a gritty 6-2 win over Rutgers' Jackson Turley, which included a crazy scramble near the end of the third period that Labriola somehow ended up on the top of. The thing about Labriola is that he's hard to take down, having given up just 6 this season. Another wrestler who's hard to take down is Penn State's Starocci, who's only given up two - also including one to Smith. The pair seem to be on a crash course toward each other in Ann Arbor, and I, for one, can't wait.

North Dakota State 165 lber Mike Caliedno (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) It’s “rivalry week” in the Big 12 and we have the best slate of duals this year. Top to bottom, this is an incredible week of wrestling around the Big 12 Conference. Let’s dive in and take a look at the slate. Wednesday 02/15 Iowa State at Missouri Thursday 02/16 Oklahoma at Oklahoma State Friday 02/17 Clarion at West Virginia Saturday 02/18 California Baptist at Hofstra Wisconsin at Northern Iowa Sunday 02/19 West Virginia at Lock Haven South Dakota State at North Dakota State Air Force at Northern Colorado Oklahoma State at Iowa Iowa State and Missouri open things up Missouri has taken some hits this year losing to Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech, and Arizona State while Iowa State has emerged as the top dual team in the conference after only losing to #2 Iowa and #1 Penn State in duals during the regular season. On the other hand, Missouri matches up really well with Iowa State on paper. There aren’t too many scenarios where Iowa State isn’t the favorite at 165, but they won’t be here. It creates a really unique set up for the biggest dual in the Big 12. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma run it back in Stillwater Bedlam is wrestled twice a year every season and this week we get part two in Stillwater. The first one was the stuff of legends. It started at HWT and after a back-and-forth dual came down to 197 where Luke Surber pinned Keegan Moore to give the Cowboys the dual. Who knows how round two will go, but it sets up to be another good one. The Dakota Marker This has emerged as a great rivalry in the Big 12 conference. Both programs put a lot into wrestling, they’re well coached, and seem to have great fan/alumni support. Wrestlestat projects this as a 16-15 dual with a slight edge to South Dakota State. All the makings of a great dual as a part of a great rivalry.

Stanford 125 lber Nico Provo (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Stanford splits road duals Stanford started the weekend with its first shutout victory in three years, defeating CSU Bakersfield 43-0. Five of the ten matches led to bonus-point victories for the Cardinal. Jackson Disario and Nick Stemmet picked up pins at 133 and 197 pounds. Shane Griffith and Brook Byers got their hands raised in a pair of forfeit wins and Jason Miranda beat NCAA qualifier Angelo Martinoni 9-0. Charlie Daracott had the toughest battle of the dual, winning 7-4 over Brock Rogers at 157 pounds. Stanford traveled to Oklahoma State a couple of days later and fell 25-9. Provo found the win column again with a 5-2 victory over Reece Witcraft. Jaden Abas and Shane Griffith were the other two Cardinal wrestlers to win, but in tight matches. Abas picked up a pair of takedowns in the first period and proved to be a difference. He beat Victor Voinovich 6-5. Griffith won 4-2 in a sudden victory over Wyatt Sheets. All the points came from the bottom position with a reversal for Sheets and two escapes for Griffith. Griffith scored the winning takedown within the first minute to take his 21st victory of the season. Beavers capture a win over Wyoming Matthew Olguin started the dual at 165 pounds. He kicked off a five-match winning streak, four by decision and one major decision. JJ Dixon picked up the 12-3 major decision over Terren Swartz. Brandon Kaylor rested this dual. Therefore, Wyoming’s Jore Volk defeated Caleb Coyle 10-1. Oregon State’s Jason Shaner and Riley Gurr won at 133 and 149 pounds. However, the Beavers lost two team points in Gurr’s match. Little Rock splits duals in Illinois The Trojans defeated Ohio 28-12 and fell to SIUE 22-14. Jeremiah Reno, Matty Bianchi and Tyler Brennan were the three Trojans to win both matches. Bianchi was the only wrestler to pull off an upset too, defeating #28 Peyten Kellar. On the other hand, Joseph Bianchi fell to two ranked wrestlers. He lost 6-4 to Ohio’s #33 Alec Hagan and 6-2 to #24 Caleb Tyus. Little Rock was leading with three matches left in the SIUE dual. However, they were swept, all by decision. The Trojans' dual season ends with a 5-10 record and they will return to action at the Pac-12 Championships. Roadrunners go back and forth with California Baptist CSU Bakersfield and California Baptist had six lead changes within 10 matches. Yet, the Lancers came atop with a 23-17 victory on the road. Eddie Flores started the dual with a 9-3 victory over Devin Garcia. Flores turned a reversal into four back points and helped the Roadrunners capture the first three points of the dual. Neither team won two matches in a row until Cal Baptist won 184 and 197 pounds. Angelo Martinoni won by tech fall at 141 pounds, Brock Rogers won by decision at 157 pounds and Albert Urias won by decision at 174 pounds for the Roadrunners. California Baptist’s Hunter Leake won by tech fall at 133 pounds, Chaz Hallmark won by decision at 149 pounds and Frank Almaguer won by tech fall at 165 pounds. Lancers’ Khristian Dove and Mateo Morales broke the dual open with a major decision and pin at 184 and 197 pounds. CSU Bakersfield’s Paul Sharp ended the dual with a 6-2 victory. CSUB ends its dual season at Arizona State on Feb. 16.

Army West Point 174 lber Ben Pasiuk (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Last week, InterMat took a look at the remaining undefeated wrestlers for the 2022-23 season. In total, there were 18 spread across eight weight classes. After this weekend's action, that number dropped to 16 as a pair of notable wrestlers fell from the ranks of the unbeaten. That number will go down by at least one more number after Wednesday as the top two 165 lbers in the nation #1 Keegan O'Toole (Missouri) and #2 David Carr (Iowa State) are set to square off. It is easily one of the most anticipated matches of the regular season, so hopefully, both will take the mat. Today we'll look at the circumstances surrounding the two previously undefeated wrestlers who took losses on the weekend and the prospects of all involved moving forward. #5 Bryce Andonian (Virginia Tech - 157) Andonian's match with fellow unbeaten and third-ranked Austin O'Connor (North Carolina) was the match I was looking forward to the most. These two had plenty of history as Friday's match marked the fifth time the two have squared off collegiately. In both 2020 and 2021, the two tangled in dual competition and in the 149 lb finals of the ACC Championships. Each of their previous clashes featured plenty of scoring and this one was no different. The exception was that it was all O'Connor. The Tar Heel national champion had a perfect gameplan, combined with exceptional talent, and managed to avoid any predicament where the dangerous Andonian could put him on his back. Not only did O'Connor keep the match away from Andonian's strengths, but he also was able to get to his offense in an 11-3 major decision. O'Connor has scored in double figures in each of their meetings now. During Friday's match, O'Connor kept control of Andonian's head and scored multiple takedowns from positions that originated from a front headlock; one of his best areas. Early on in the match, Andonian tried to create chaos, locking his hands and attempting to roll through a double leg attempt. Those efforts did not dissuade O'Connor as he wrestled through the positions and ended up scoring. Andonian won't have long to wait before trying to win round six. The ACC Tournament is just right around the corner. One potential hurdle for both competitors is NC State's Ed Scott. Last year, while O'Connor was fighting through a knee injury, Scott took a 3-2 win for the ACC crown. Earlier this season, Andonian nearly teched Scott during an entertaining 24-10 major decision. Scott also could knock that zero out from the loss column for O'Connor, as they'll meet this weekend. Looking at the big, big picture, this loss probably doesn't have much of an impact on Andonian's postseason/NCAA prospects. He's still a logical choice for the #5 spot in the rankings. With a third-place finish in Detroit after starting as the 11th seed, Andonian probably isn't overly concerned about seeds/rankings either. He'll be a tough out for anyone in the 157 lb bracket. #5 Mickey O'Malley (Drexel - 174) The situation is a little different for Mickey O'Malley at 174 lbs for Drexel. Not only did he suffer his first setback of the year, but he also lost a second match on Sunday. On Saturday, Drexel hosted Army West Point, whose highest-ranked wrestler is #18 Ben Pasiuk at 174 lbs. In their only previous meeting, Pasiuk defeated O'Malley 2-1 in the 2021 EIWA finals. Last season, O'Malley won the conference and Pasiuk was third; however, the two never met. From the outset of Saturday's match, Pasiuk was the aggressor and he got to O'Malley's legs on four different occasions, finishing two. Those two takedowns proved to be the difference in a 5-3 win for Pasiuk. A day later, O'Malley was tasked with taking on #20 Nick Incontrera (Penn) during the rivalry match with neighboring Penn. While neither wrestler scored a takedown, Incontrera was able to stay out of harm's way as he managed to avoid upperbody throws that are a trademark of the Dragon star. Like the Pasiuk match, O'Malley was never able to get to any of his offense. The difference in the Incontrera match came down to mat wrestling. Incontrera was able to ride O'Malley out for the entire second period. He was able to get away in less than :20 seconds in the third period to inch ahead on the scoreboard and preserve riding time. Incontrera stayed defensive in the final minute and a half and ended up with a 2-0 victory. The two losses for O'Malley definitely threw a wrench into EIWA seeding at 174. Chris Foca (Cornell) has only one loss on the year and is unbeaten against conference competition. He's clearly the one-seed. After O'Malley was beaten by Incontera, the Penn wrestler is the only one in the weight with just one EIWA loss (to Foca). Arguments could be made between Phil Conigliaro (Harvard) and Pasiuk for the third and fourth seeds. Conigliaro only has one EIWA loss (Incontrera) but has wrestled a limited schedule. That means the two losses by O'Malley could end up dropping him from possibly the first seed, to the fifth.

Bryce Andonian (left) and Austin O'Connor at the 2021 ACC Championships (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) We only have two weeks left in the ACC dual season and we have a couple duals tonight that have major implications on the ACC Dual Championship as well as big seeding implications for the ACC tournament. Duke will take on Virginia in teams looking to break through to their first win. Virginia Tech will head to Chapel Hill to face the Tar Heels in a dual that could put the winner in position for a share of the dual title. And in Raleigh, we have a huge dual between undefeated Pitt and one-loss, but higher ranked, NC State. Pittsburgh has the chance to slam the door on the rest of the conference with a win over the Wolfpack. It’s going to be a fun night in ACC country. Duke versus UVA will be on the ACC Network while the VT/UNC dual and Pitt/NC State will be on ACC Network Extra and will stream on the ESPN app. All duals start at 7pm. I will be in Charlottesville to cover the UVA/Duke dual, but will have the other two pulled up and trying to catch all the action. Duke at Virginia The Blue Devils venture north to Charlottesville to face the Hoos on Senior Night. UVA will honor 15 (!?!) wrestlers making their final home appearance for the Cavaliers. Both programs are looking for their first ACC win and these individual matchups will play a huge role in seeding for the ACC tournament. The Blue Devils will again be without a starter at 174 due to injury and the Hoos will be starting Ethan Weatherspoon at 285 in their revolving crew of heavyweights who have been in and out of the lineup with injuries. It appears as though Jonah Neisenbaum will be back at the helm at 285 for the Blue Devils after being out last week against Virginia Tech. He is 2-0 in ACC duals and is fighting for a top seed at the ACC tournament. UVA has been led by Justin McCoy and Jarod Verkleeren who are both 2-1 in-conference. Neil Antrassian and Michael Battista have both looked great in the back half of the season and are looking to even out their record at 2-2 with wins against Duke. 125: Patrick McCormick vs Ethan Grimminger 133: Marlon Yarbrough vs Logan Agin 141: Dylan Cedeno vs Christian Colman 149: No. 26 Jarod Verkleeren vs Patrick Rowland 157: Jake Keating vs Logan Ferrero 165: No. 17 Justin McCoy vs Gabe Dinette 174: Vic Marcelli OR Justin Phillips vs OPEN 184: No. 16 Neil Antrassian vs Luke Chakonis 197: No. 25 Michael Battista vs Brayden Ray 285: Ethan Weatherspoon vs #22 Jonah Neisenbaum #25 North Carolina at #6 Virginia Tech The Hokies head back to North Carolina for the second week in a row to square off with the Tar Heels in a dual that potentially has major implications in the race for the ACC dual title; the winner of this dual puts themselves in position for a share of the ACC title with an NC State win over Pittsburgh. The Hokies are favored on paper with nine wrestlers in the Intermat rankings to 6 for the Tar Heels. There are some phenomenal matchups in this dual--a couple of these are must-watch for all NCAA wrestling fans. At 141, we may see a rematch of Tom Crook and Lachlan McNeil. Crook beat McNeil at the Southeast Open in November. At 149, we could see true freshman sensation Caleb Henson taking on All-American Zach Sherman; this one is a big maybe, Sherman was injured against UVA two weeks ago and didn’t wrestle last week. At 184, Gavin Kane has been on a great run for the Tar Heels and is 3-0 in the ACC; he will take on Hunter Bolen who has two heartbreaking losses to Trent Hidlay in SV and Reece Heller by defensive pin. Bolen and Kane have met twice with Kane holding a 2-0 advantage. Two more big ones to watch--both of which are rematches of previous ACC finals. At 174, we could see a rematch of the 2022 final with Mekhi Lewis and Clay Lautt. Lewis holds a 3-0 advantage in the series. Lewis is nearly flawless on the year at 14-1 and has looked amazing. Lautt started the year strong but was injured in a loss in December, he comes into this match at 6-3. Since returning, he is 1-1 with a tech fall over Gaetano Console of Duke and an upset loss last week to Luca Augustine in sudden victory. It appears as though he is still getting back to full strength and speed and I’m hoping he will be 100% for the ACC tournament--because of this, I’m not sure that we will see him against Mekhi. Now the big one. If you don’t watch this match, you hate wrestling. Austin O’Connor and Bryce Andonian are both highly entertaining, explosively offensive wrestlers who will throw caution to the wind and wrestle wide-open. Both are undefeated on the year and have wrestled partial seasons coming back from injuries; Andonian is 6-0 with 5 bonus point wins while O'Connor is 14-0 with 13 bonus point wins. O’Connor is 4-0 against Andonian, with all of their previous matches--including two ACC finals matches--at 149 pounds. No. 7 Virginia Tech vs North Carolina Probables 125 – Eddie Ventresca vs No. 17 Jack Wagner 133 – No. 7 Sam Latona vs Jace Palmer 141 – No. 11 Tom Crook or Collin Gerardi vs No. 12 Lachlan McNeil 149 – No. 8 Caleb Henson vs No. 27 Zach Sherman or Wil Guida or Jayden Scott 157 – No. 5 Bryce Andonian vs No. 3 Austin O'Connor 165 – No. 27 Connor Brady vs Joey Mazzara or Gino Esposito 174 – No. 3 Mekhi Lewis vs No. 14 Clay Lautt or Michael Goldfede 184 – No. 7 Hunter Bolen vs No. 11 Gavin Kane 197 – No. 22 Andy Smith vs Max Shaw or Cade Lautt 285 – No. 20 Hunter Catka vs Brandon Witman or Aydin Guttridge #16 Pittsburgh at #7 North Carolina State The biggest dual this weekend will go down in Raleigh on Friday night. Pittsburgh enters Reynolds Coliseum undefeated in the ACC and can all but lock up the title with a win over the Wolfpack. NC State is looking to keep themselves in the running for another ACC dual title; if they are able to top the Panthers, they could earn a share of the ACC title. The conference recognizes multiple champions if teams have the same record in the conference, regardless of head-to-head results. This dual is intriguing because there are multiple matchups that I would consider toss-ups, so momentum may play a huge role in this dual. We could see as many as eight ranked versus ranked matchups, including top-10 matchups at 141 and 197. This dual could just as easily be a 5/5 split as it could be a 7/3 runaway for either team. It’s going to be a fun one to watch. 125: #32 Colton Camacho vs #27 Jarrett Trombley The first toss-up match. Trombley is 3-0 in the ACC and has been looking solid of late. Camacho has really come on in the second half of the season--he is 2-1 in the conference, losing in sudden victory to Jack Wagner last week. This one could easily go either direction and if they start at 125 could go a long way to establishing some momentum. 133: #6 Micky Phillippi vs #20 Kai Orine Micky Phillippi has been one of the most consistent performers in the country over his time in Pittsburgh. He enters at 11-1 on the year and 3-0 in the ACC. Orine has looked stronger in the second half of the season and sits at 10-6 and 2-1 in the ACC with a close loss to Sam Latona. Orine has gotten more offensive, but he will have to open up and put together multiple attacks to be able to get through the top-tier defense of Phillippi. 141: #3 Cole Matthews vs #4 Ryan Jack This might be the match of the night across all duals. Both guys have a stout defense and impressive counter offense and have established a dangerous top game. I would expect a low-scoring match here (check out the number of one-takedown matches that Matthews has won over the past two years). Jack has increased his offensive output on his feet and on the mat, but Matthews is notoriously difficult to score on. This one is going to be a chess match and a lot of fun to watch from the tactical perspective. 149: #28 Tyler Badgett vs #17 Jackson Arrington Tyler Badgett has wrestled well since taking over the starting spot full-time and comes in at 15-9 and 1-2 in the conference. The true freshman Jackson Arrington opened his year with one of the most difficult schedules possible, facing multiple All-Americans to start the year. He has improved with every outing and has looked very solid in the back half of the season. He is 17-6 on the year and 2-1 in the ACC with a loss to Caleb Henson. I’d lean toward Arrington with him having a much higher offensive output, he will put points on the board at some point and I could see Badgett struggling to break through his defense. 157: Dazjon Casto or Jared Keslar vs #7 Ed Scott Coming into the year, this was a potential top-10 matchup, but Dazjon Casto struggled to start the year. He has shown some growth and has been wrestling better, but is coming off an injury as well. Keslar wrestled last weekend and had the unfortunate task of facing Austin O’Connor. Ed Scott has looked as good as ever. He started the year more slowly, but has really found his groove and has been wrestling well. He is 14-5 on the year, with four of those losses coming in the first half of the season; his only loss in 2023 is to Bryce Andonian. Ed is known for big moves and has huge bonus point potential--I think he’ll be looking for it here to help the Wolfpack as much as he can. 165: #24 Holden Heller vs #26 Matty Singleton or Derek Fields This one is another big toss-up match. I think whoever ends up getting the start for the Wolfpack would have a similar ranking, so both potential matchups tonight are between pretty evenly-matched guys at 165. Singleton is 8-5 on the season, with four of those losses coming at 174; he holds a win over Conor Brady in his only ACC dual match. Fields is 0-1 in the ACC with a loss to Justin McCoy. Luke Ahrberg got the start, and the win, against Duke at 165. Heller has been solid this season since transferring from Hofstra; he enters at 10-5 and is undefeated in the ACC. 174: Luca Augustine vs #29 Alex Faison This is another big toss-up match. Faison has looked good for the Wolfpack since taking over the full-time role at 174; he comes in at 13-6 overall and 2-1 in the ACC with a win over Hudson Stewart and a win by forfeit from Duke and a loss to Mekhi Lewis. Luca Augustine has been on an absolute tear in the back half of the season, and notched two huge wins last weekend with a decision over MJ Gaitan in a tight dual with Iowa State, and knocking off then #8 Clay Lautt in sudden victory. Augustine is 12-7 overall and 2-1 in the ACC with wins over Lautt and Vic Marcelli and a loss to Mekhi Lewis. These two are very evenly matched and this match could be huge in this dual. 184: #17 Reece Heller vs #3 Trent Hidlay Reece Heller has had a phenomenal season for Pitt, including a Midlands title and a huge win over Hunter Bolen by defensive fall. He is 15-5 overall and 1-2 in the ACC with a win over Bolen and losses to Gavin Kane and Neil Antrassian. Hidlay has been a monster all year. He enters at 16-1 with 11 bonus point wins, and his lone blemish is a loss to Parker Keckeisen, who he also holds a win over this season. Hidlay is 2-0 in the ACC with a 21-9 major over Antrassian and a sudden victory win over Bolen. 184 is a deep weight in the ACC but Hidlay seems to have separated himself from the crowd--with the exception of his consistently close matches with Bolen. 197: #1 Nino Bonaccorsi vs #8 Isaac Trumble This will be a fun one. Nino is undefeated on the year and has looked as good as he ever has. He is 12-0 on the year and is coming off a great win over Yonger Bastida in the Iowa State dual. No one has been able to stop Nino’s offense--he has at least one takedown in every match this year. Trumble has looked excellent all year as well, he has shown growth on his feet and on the mat and is an incredibly dangerous pinner with seven on the year. While in most matchups, Nino has a reach advantage, Trumble may be one of the only wrestlers in the country who is “longer” at 197 than Bonaccorsi. Trumble is 16-2 on the year and 2-1 in the ACC with wins over Michael Battista and Brayden Ray and a last-second takedown loss to Andy Smith. Circle this one as a must-watch as well. 285: #10 Dayton Pitzer or Jake Slinger vs #12 Owen Trephan The ongoing question of whether Coach Gavin will pull the redshirt of Dayton Pitzer will add another chapter tonight. This will be the fifth and final appearance that Pitzer can make and still maintain his redshirt--but with the potential ACC dual title on the line, I fully expect to see Pitzer tonight. Pitzer is 7-2 on the season and 2-0 in the ACC with wins over Hunter Catka and Brandon Whitman. He is coming off a heartbreaking loss to Sam Schuyler in the Iowa State dual; the final match ended with ISU tying the Panthers and winning on criteria by match points. Trephan has looked excellent for the Wolfpack and comes in at 17-3 overall and 2-0 in the ACC. Don’t overlook how good Trephan is--he has shown that he can go with anyone in the country and he has the experience edge over Pitzer. In a perfect world, the dual would come down to this match…let’s hope it does.

Iowa 141 lber Real Woods (photo courtesy of Mark Lundy; LutteLens.com) The loosening of the transfer rules has basically changed college sports in general. In terms of college wrestling, the fans have already seen some of the top teams reload with talent via the portal and several former top recruits find new homes. The following looks at the most impactful transfers for this season. Remember, only wrestlers who have started at a new school for this season are included. 125: No. 22 Stevo Poulin (Northern Colorado) Poulin was a highly regarded recruit in the class of 2021. He originally signed with NC State and went 6-0 during a redshirt year with the Wolfpack. After that season, he transferred to Northern Colorado and has been the starter at 125 pounds since the jump. Poulin has gone 23-4 so far this season. His ranking took a bit of a hit this week after he dropped a 4-2 decision against fellow freshman No. 21 Jore Volk (Wyoming) last weekend. However, Poulin still appears to be an NCAA qualifier with the potential for more. 133: No. 15 Joe Heilmann (Rutgers) and No. 16 Brody Teske (Iowa) The most talked-about transfer this past offseason was likely Teske, who relocated to Iowa City after stints with Northern Iowa and Penn State. However, he has been slowed by injuries and has had only six matches so far this season. The most impactful transfer has actually been Heilmann who now represents Rutgers after four seasons with North Carolina. He has gone 20-6 with three of those losses coming recently in the Big Ten meat grinder schedule. However, Heilmann does hold wins over Michael Colaiocco (Penn) and Rayvon Foley (Michigan State). After getting back on track with a dominant 12-0 major decision over King Sandoval (Maryland), Rutgers head coach Scott Goodale spoke with InterMat. “He has been wrestling great all year long,” he said. “Joey has trained his tail off. He has a workmanlike attitude every single day he steps in the room. It is this time of year. This is it for Joey, he gets it, understands it and is fired up about it, and he is starting to get better at the right time. I’m pretty excited about that.” 141: No. 2 Real Woods (Iowa) Perhaps the most impactful transfer of the year appears to be a legitimate contender for the crown at 141 pounds. Woods has found a new home with the Hawkeyes after finishing sixth last year for Stanford. He has won all 11 of his bouts this season. Woods has not racked up the bonus points, but he already has wins over three top-10 ranked wrestlers: No. 5 Brock Hardy (Nebraska), No. 6 Beau Bartlett (Penn State) and No. 9 Frankie Tal-Shahar (Northwestern). The number-one ranked wrestler at this weight, Andrew Alirez (Northern Colorado), is also undefeated this season at 18-0. Woods does hold a win over Alirez from last season. If the rankings hold, these two could be headed for a rematch in the NCAA finals. 149: No. 25 Sam Hillegas (West Virginia) Hillegas was a two-time PIAA state champion and a three-time WPIAL champion on the high school level. While at North Hills high school, he was coached by former West Virginia All-American Vertus Jones. After two seasons with Virginia Tech, Hillegas followed in his former coach’s footsteps and transferred to West Virginia. He has worked his way into the rankings with victories over the likes of No. 26 Jarod Verkleeren (Virginia) and No. 28 Tyler Badgett. 165: No. 24 Holden Heller (Pittsburgh) and No. 23 Gerrit Nijenhuis (Oklahoma) Heller qualified for the 2021 NCAA tournament at 157 pounds while wrestling for Hofstra. He redshirted last season and eventually transferred to Pittsburgh. Heller has been the starter with the new team from the jump, and he has gone 10-5. He has picked up key wins No. 17 Justin McCoy (Virginia) and No. 16 Joshua Ogunsanya (Columbia). After back-to-back qualifying seasons for Purdue, Nijenhuis is now on the roster for Oklahoma. He has dropped back down to 165 pounds and has built an 11-4 record Nijenhuis went 2-2 at this first open tournament to start the year, but he then went on an eight-match winning streak to put himself into the rankings. After a bit of a slide, he got back on track last weekend with a 3-1 victory over Hunter Mays (Rider). 174: No. 11 Edmond Ruth (Illinois) Ruth started his collegiate career at Lehigh and spent last season wrestling unattached. During his off year, he won both the Clarion Open and the substitute Midlands event known as the Illinois Matmen Open. He eventually found a new home in Illinois where he has gone 23-3 and steadily climbed the rankings. Ruth has already picked up wins over No. 8 Peyton Mocco (Missouri), No. 12 Rocky Jordan (Chattanooga), No. 20 Nick Incontrera (Penn) and No. 16 Nelson Brands (Iowa). 184: No. 8 Matt Finesilver (Michigan) Before joining the Wolverines, Finesilver was a three-time NCAA qualifier for Duke. After transferring to Michigan, he has moved up to 184 pounds and gone 17-5. Finesilver has rocketed up the rankings recently with wins over No. 13 Layne Malczewski (Michigan State), No. 14 Brian Soldano (Rutgers) and No. 10 Travis Wittlake (Oklahoma State). 197: No. 2 Michael Beard (Lehigh) If Woods has been the most impactful transfer this season, then Beard is a close second. Beard signed with Penn State out of high school and finished seventh as a redshirt freshman in 2021 to become an All-American. After being forced to sit behind NCAA champion No. 3 Max Dean, Beard transferred to Lehigh. Not only has Beard cemented himself as a title contender with the Mountain Hawks, but he has also knocked off Dean earlier this year. 285: Jared Campbell (Glenville State) Transfers have not made a huge impact in the heavyweight rankings on the Division I level, but the same can’t be said one step down in Division II. Campbell joined Glenville State this past offseason after previously wrestling for Notre Dame (Ohio) where he was a 2020 NCAA qualifier. At the new school, he has gone 27-1 with his only loss coming against former Purdue wrestler and returning All-American Shawn Streck (Central Oklahoma). Campbell not only won the Ohio Intercollegiate Open, but he has also gone 3-0 against Division I opposition including a win over No. 25 Michael Wolfgram (West Virginia). Campbell’s arrival at Glenville State has contributed to the ascension of the program. After finishing 44th at the NCAA tournament last season, the Pioneers are ranked 18th in the latest rankings.

The 2022 NCAA Championships (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) On Friday morning, the NCAA released the second set of coaches rankings for the 2022-23 season, along with the first set of RPI ratings. The coaches rankings require at least eight DI matches (not counting ones against teammates) at the rankable weight in order to be considered. To qualify for the RPI, 15 matches must have been wrestled. If there is a notable wrestler off one of these lists that is likely the reason. The third set of rankings will be compiled before conference allocations are announced at the conclusion of the regular season. Here is a link to the rankings and RPI themselves.

Lock Haven 174 lber Tyler Stoltzfus (photo courtesy of SJanickiPhoto.com) Week 14 had a pair of Lock Haven Eagles atop the weekly leaderboard with 174 Tyler Stoltzfus getting 27 Fpts in five matches and 157 Ashton Eyler getting 24 Fpts in six matches. While the weekly boost didn't do much in the way of overall standings for Eyler, it did propel Stoltzfus to the #4 overall fantasy spot, and only six behind 285 Wyatt Hendrickson in 2nd place. 285 Mason Parris still sits atop the overall standings (105 Fpts), but “only” winning by decision in Week 14 allowed Hendrickson to close the gap to within nine Fpts. On to Week 15: To quote Izzy Mandelbaum, “It’s Go Time.” You won't find any tournaments to bail you out, and good luck finding more than two duals per wrestler this week. It’s playoff time where the rubber hits the mat. We are now in the playoffs and depending on if you are in a carryover league or not, this may be the most important week of your fantasy season. Tournaments are basically non-existent, so hopefully you did some forecasting and picked up some wrestlers in week 14, 13, or 12 that would be stashed for just this week. Win and move on, now is not the time to play it safe. Have a question, concern, suggestions, or just want to chat about Fantasy Wrestling?
