  1. NCAA champion David Carr (photo courtesy of Mark Lundy; LutteLens.com) Another week down in the Big 12, and this one was arguably the most notable week in conference so far. Let's look at some of the highlights. Iowa State takes the home stand vs. Oklahoma schools. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma went up to Iowa to wrestle Northern Iowa and Iowa State this weekend. Things kicked off on Friday with Oklahoma and Iowa State. The Cyclones took the dual over OU 25-12 on Friday then beat Oklahoma State on Sunday 18-11. The OSU-ISU dual came down to HWT where Sam Schuyler majored Kyle Haas to take the dual for the Cyclones. Northern Iowa fell to Oklahoma State on Saturday night thanks to a pin from OSU's Wyatt Sheets. The Panthers bounced back beating Oklahoma on Sunday 23-12. California Baptist gets first Big 12 win. Thanks in part to an upset win for Eli Griffin over Jore Volk, California Baptist got their first Big 12 win on Saturday vs. Wyoming. This is a monumental step for their program as they continue their D1 and Big 12 transition. Some Controversy in South Dakota State vs. Northern Colorado This video is making the rounds in the wrestling community, but after this, Tanner Cook won the match via an injury default to him caused by what happened in the exchange. It's unfortunate because I had this dual circled as one that was very under the radar this week and could've quietly been one of the best. But this result was a big momentum swing and completely flipped things after Northern Colorado had won four of the first five matches. Regardless of opinions on the action, this was a big momentum changer for South Dakota State in what potentially could've been a landmark dual win for their program. Friday 01/27 Air Force DEF Snow College 44-0 Utah Valley DEF Snow College 43-6 Air Force DEF Utah Valley 33-3 Iowa State DEF Oklahoma 25-12 South Dakota State DEF Northern Colorado 23-13 Saturday 01/28 California Baptist DEF Wyoming 22-10 Oklahoma State DEF Northern Iowa 19-17 Sunday 01/29 Northern Iowa DEF Oklahoma 23-12 South Dakota State DEF Air Force 26-16 Iowa State DEF Oklahoma State 18-11 Northern Colorado DEF California Baptist University 31-6
  2. The Arizona State staff with 174 lber Cael Valencia (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Arizona State captures tough win over Lehigh Before the 20-16 victory this weekend, Arizona State's only win in school history against Lehigh came last season. In addition, Zeke Jones hadn't beaten Lehigh since 2007 when he coached at Penn before last season's victory. However, the Sun Devils have captured its second consecutive win against a worthy opponent. Tony Negron kicked off the dual with a 5-2 decision victory to give the Sun Devils a 3-0 lead. Cael Valencia continues to show signs of progression as he won in a sudden victory over Jake Logan. Arizona State's heavyweights continued to shuffle around and struggle as Shay Addison and Damion Schunke fell lost by major decisions and fall. Yet, Arizona State's superstars shined the Sun Devils to the team victory. Brandon Courtney captured his 99th career victory and Michael McGee snuck past Connor McGonagle 8-6. Kyle Parco picked up a tech fall over Manzona Bryant and Cohlton Schultz defeated Nathan Taylor 3-2. ASU will host Little Rock on Friday night in a Pac-12 matchup then travel to Oregon State for a huge dual on Sunday night. Stanford survives Little Rock's scrappy squad Little Rock has slowly become a competitive team within the Pac-12 conference. Although the Trojans lost 19-14, losing a team point for control of mat violation, the Trojans picked up some major wins. Joseph Bianchi and Matty Bianchi won back-to-back matches against Luciano Arroyo and Charlie Darracott. In addition, Stephen Little upset Nick Stemmet at 197 pounds with a 7-5 victory. Stanford's stars won tight battles too. Shane Griffith won 4-0 over Tyler Brennan, Tyler Eischens defeated Triston Wills 9-4 and Jackson Disario won 8-2 over Josh Sarpy. Stanford will host Menlo College this week while Little rock travels to ASU. Beavers stomp the Roadrunners Oregon State dominated Cal State Bakersfield with a 43-4 victory at home over the weekend. Roadrunners' Josh Brown started the dual with a 16-7 major decision over Riley Gurr at 149 pounds, his fifth straight dual victory. However, Oregon State swept the rest of the dual. Aaron Olmos found himself in a tough battle against Albert Urias. Yet, he captured the 3-1 victory at 174 lbs. Brandon Kaylor also captured a tough 3-2 victory over Eddie Flores. Trey Munoz and Cleveland Belton dominated their opponents with a tech fall and pin.
  3. Indiana 174 lber DJ Washington (photo courtesy of SJanickiPhoto.com) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the wrestling season flies by if you’re not cutting weight and going through rigorous workouts. You blink and it’s almost February. Excluding Appalachian State and Gardner-Webb, who will compete tonight, the next time anyone takes the mat in the DI ranks, it will be in February. That’s basically the homestretch of the regular season. The light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve spent months mocking coaches with the “All that matters is March” mindset and it’s almost March. January’s swan song of a weekend was a memorable one. It included the most anticipated dual of the season between top-ranked Penn State and number two Iowa. While the dual may have left something to be desired with the actual wrestling, almost 16,000 spectators crammed into the Bryce Jordan Center to watch the nation's top two teams collide. While Penn State and Iowa took center stage, there were plenty of other great duals around the country. As our mailbag specialist Jagger said, “There were tons of duals last night with crazy matches and now we want to change the rules because one of them was a little boring.” There was plenty of action Friday and all weekend for that matter, so let’s get to “7 Big Stories from the Week in College Wrestling.” Penn State/Iowa The big one is in the books and Penn State retained its top ranking after a 23-14 victory over their rivals from Iowa City. If you were late getting into the Bryce Jordan Center, as I and hundreds of others outside, you might have missed the biggest shocker of the evening. Third-year sophomore, Marco Vespa, sporting a 0-6 career record, got the call for Cael Sanderson’s team against three-time national champion Spencer Lee at 125 lbs. It wouldn’t be a shocker if you had heard the match started with a low attack to a takedown, followed by a cradle. However, it wasn’t the Hodge Trophy favorite, Lee, who got on the board first it was Vespa. Just seconds into the match Vespa had the stunned crowd on their feet hoping to see easily the biggest upset of the year. For the full article, Subscribe to InterMat's Rokfin Page
  4. Sammy Sasso (top) and Yahya Thomas are expected to meet for the 5th time (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) After a cursory glance at the upcoming week’s schedule, it’s hard not to get excited about some of the potential matches on tap. We’ve gone through the schedule for the upcoming week’s worth of matches and identified all of the potential matches between ranked opponents. That has left us with a potential 15 bouts between top-ten ranked opponents and four between wrestlers in the top-five. Since we’re doing this Monday morning, it’s before the updated set of rankings; however, the matchups will stay the same! 125 lbs - #1 Spencer Lee (Iowa) vs. #7 Patrick McKee (Minnesota) 125 lbs - #2 Patrick Glory (Princeton) vs. #17 Brett Ungar (Cornell) 125 lbs -

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

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

  9. The 2022 NCAA Championships (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) We're smack dab in the middle of the dual season and have a full-schedule of DI duals whis week. A total of 57 duals will be contested.

  10. Lehigh 141 lber Malyke Hines (photo courtesy of SJanickiPhoto.com) Dual Meet of the Weekend *ALL RANKINGS ARE FROM INTERMAT* #27 Lehigh hosts #19 Arizona State. Arizona State has taken a few head-scratching losses in duals this season, while battling injuries. Lehigh has been dealing with the injury bug as well. Grace Hall will be ecstatic this Saturday for a great dual. This should be a fun dual regardless, even if some of the “backups” get to see mat time. Many of the non-starters on each squad are still very tough and will make for tight matches. Will we see a #4 McGee vs #6 McGonagle showdown at 133 lbs? McGee just came back from injury a few weeks ago. McGonagle has only wrestled once this semester and may possibly be back… It would be quite the match returning from injury. If it does happen, be ready for fireworks. Due to the long travel, and intense crowd (plus my EIWA bias) – I’ll give Lehigh a slight advantage. It may come down to bonus points. 125lbs – #33 Berginc (Army) vs #17 Ungar (Cornell) Berginc started hot – will he get back on track with a win over Ungar? (who just lost to Sotelo of Harvard) 125lbs - #28 Miller (Penn) vs Sotelo (Harv) This will be the rubber match between them on the year. Miller has a 6-3 win, while Sotelo has a pin over Miller. The winner of this would give a solid argument for the 3rd seed at EIWAs, staying on the opposite side of Glory. The loser could be as low as 6th. What a fun weight class! 125lbs – #32 Babin (Col) vs #17 Ungar (Cornell) Babin has been in and out of the rankings. This weight class is pretty even-stevens after Glory. Ungar can maintain the 2nd seed if he beats Babin. A win by Babin could mean chaos for the seeding committee. 125lbs – #32 Babin (Col) vs Bailey/Lane (Leh) Lane and Bailey are both capable of being in the rankings. I feel a lack of consistency in the line-up (due to injuries) has prevented that. Babin has been ranked, and his performances have been impressive as of late. 141lbs - #26 Kazimir (Col) vs #28 Hines (Leh) Last year’s EIWA champ vs a red-hot Hines. 2 NCAA qualifiers, plus a pivotal match for the dual with EIWA seeding implications 141lbs - #26 Kazimir (Col) vs #16 Cornella (Corn) Another conference test for the freshman, Cornella. He lost to Hines a week ago. A win by Kazimir would make seeding this weight class very interesting 149lbs - #33 Fongaro (Col) vs Brignola/Bryant (Leh) A pivotal matchup for the dual. I’d be shocked if these guys did not end up at NCAAs (pending NCAA allocations, of course) 157lbs – #4 Humphreys (Leh) vs #22 Alvan (Col) Humphreys has been banged up so we may not even see him. If he does return, it’ll be his first match since before Christmas. Another good opportunity for an upset for Alvan after last week’s win over #16 Artalona of Penn. 165lbs – Park (Navy) vs #33 Cassella (Bing) EIWA 8th vs EIWA 5th last season. Could be a “winner goes to Tulsa” type of match at EIWAs 165lbs - #8 Ramirez (Corn) vs #16 Ogunsanya (Col) A rematch from last year’s EIWA semifinal - won by Ogunsanya 6-4. Ramirez won at CKLV in December 8-2 174lbs - #12 Phil Conigliaro (Harv) vs #22 Nick Incontrera (Penn) Conigliaro was R12 at 165 lbs last year. He hasn’t stepped on the mat since before Christmas. I won't hold my breath for this matchup, but it’s possible. 184lbs - #24 Ferreira (Hof) vs #22 Nolan (Bing) A possible matchup to claim 3rd seed at conferences. Also, a toss-up in a dual that will be a tight one 184lbs - #24 Ferreira (Hof) vs #32 Key (Navy) Another toss-up in a tight match. An “upset” for Key would be big for Navy in the dual. 197lbs - #30 Rogers (Hof) vs #29 (Koser) Navy Similar to the match we’ll see right before this at 184lbs. Great toss-up match. 285lbs - #21 Day (Bing) vs #20 Griess (Navy) The rankings speak for themselves. Both guys can pin on top. Interesting matchup at HWT 285lbs - #21 Day (Bing) vs UR Knighton-Ward (Hofstra) Knighton-Ward is a 2X NCAA Qualifier. A win from Day will prove he’s ready to compete at NCAAs, up from 184lbs last season. 285lbs - #20 Greiss (Navy) vs UR Knighton-Ward (Hofstra) Capping off a huge weekend for Knighton-Ward. A great opportunity to find himself back in the national rankings.
  11. Max Dean (left) and Jacob Warner in the 2022 NCAA finals (photo courtesy of SJanickiPhoto.com) The two teams responsible for 13 of the last 14 NCAA titles will face off in a match on Friday night at the Bryce Jordan Center. No. 1 Penn State and No. 2 Iowa both bring in undefeated dual records, but only one will leave with that record intact. The 10 bouts could feature as many as 19 ranked wrestlers and five former NCAA champions. The following is a breakdown of the predicted battles. 125: No. 1 Spencer Lee (Iowa) vs. Gary Steen (Penn State) The three-time champion has been on quite a run recently. Lee has won all 10 of his matches with bonus points this season, and he has pinned his last six opponents. It is also important to note that the competition has not been easy. His last four victories have all come over wrestlers ranked in the top 10. That list includes No. 3 Matt Ramos (Purdue), No. 6 Michael DeAgustino (Northwestern), No. 5 Liam Cronin (Nebraska) and No. 8 Eric Barnett (Wisconsin). During his senior year of high school, Steen flipped his commitment from Pittsburgh and joined the Nittany Lions program. After a redshirt year, he joined the starting lineup. Steen has been the guy at 125 pounds all year, and he has certainly taken his lumps at times. His season record stands at 5-9, but there is some reason for optimism. Last weekend, he scored a sudden victory decision over No. 29 Tristan Lujan (Michigan State). For the full article, Subscribe to InterMat's Rokfin Page
  12. Last week's top fantasy wrestler Corbyn Munson (photo courtesy of SJanickiPhoto.com) It's no surprise that the Top 2 fantasy wrestlers of Week 12 were both from Central Michigan and their four scheduled competitions. 157 Corbyn Munson took the #1 spot for the week winning all four of his matches for a total of 16 Fpts. Teammate 174 Alex Cramer finished one point behind with 15. Six other wrestlers tied with 12 Fpts for the week. For the Season standings, 285 Mason Parris (MICH) keeps the lead as top dog with 91 Fpts, and six point buffer against fellow heavy Anthony Cassioppi (IOWA). As it stands, Parris looks like he will be the first wrestler this season to hit the 100 Fpts mark, possibly after this weekend. As for Week 13, we head ever-closer to the postseason and depending on your standings situation, you may need to hit the transfer portal for some risky pick-ups. We have a few tournaments in the Appalachian State Open and Mat Town Open II, which have probably the best D1 competition exposure, followed by some other hail mary opportunities in the Pat Flanagan Open, Golden Norsemen Open, JWU Open, and some others. However, lack of D1 competition may hinder any substantial effect on your scoresheet for the week. Tournament entries continue to update the closer to registration cut-off/day of the event, and we don't want to make an "ass out of u and me" with teams and entries, so be sure to check back and turn those notifications "ON" for our updates and news. See all upcoming tournaments HERE on WrestleStat. A reminder of some important rules: Wrestlers entered at a weight must compete at that weight or else their results will not be counted. Wrestlers in the "Floater" spots can compete at ANY weight and accumulate Fantasy points. A wrestler will LOCK on your roster at 12pm ET on the day of their first competition for the week. (refer to the Master Team Schedule, Week 13 Visual, or SHP's Weekly Preview Only results against D1 competition (starters, backups, and redshirts) will count towards Fantasy Points. Check your league settings to know how many add/drops are permitted per week. Have a question, concern, suggestions, or just want to chat about Fantasy Wrestling?

  13. Iran's 79 kg star Ali Savadkouhi (photo courtesy of Ginnie Coleman/UWW) #1 (79) Ali Savadkouhi (Iran) One of Iran's best hidden gems, Ali Savadkouhi burst onto the scene at the end of 2021 with an upset win over 2020 74 KG Olympic runner-up #4 Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov of Belarus at the Iranian Pro League. Going into 2022, Savadkouhi was known as a solid competitor with break though potential, but was held back by wrestlers who could handle his physicality and beat him through superior technique, such was the case with Savadkouhi's losses to #8 Magomed Magomaev of Russia at the U23 world championships and Byung Min Gong at the Asian Championships. Early in 2022, Savadkouhi would appear to be breaking the mold with a bronze medal finish at the Yasar Dogu, where he took reigning world champion Jordan Burroughs to the limit in a 2-1 semifinal loss and convincingly beat 2020 Russian Nationals runner-up #13 Gadzhimurad Alikhmaev 8-4 for bronze. Savadkouhi's 2022 would carry on with an Asian Championships title won by a razor thin 9-9 criteria victory over Baliyan Gourav of India. Competing at the Zouhaier Sghaier tournament in what was an unofficial wrestle-off for the Iranian world team spot against teammate and returning world silver medalist #6 Mohammad Nokhodilarimi, Savadkouhi would beat out his country man 5-5 in the first round of round robin action and looked to have broken through for the world team spot. But Savadkouhi's breakthrough was short lived as in the next round he would be beat out by #11 Chance Marsteller of the United States and was eliminated from the competition when Marsteller was beaten by Nokhodilarimi in the third round of action. After being so close to finally making a Senior world team, Savadkouhi was sent as Iran's representative for the Islamic Solidarity Games where he won handedly over Turkey's Muhammet Akdeniz. After the Islamic Solidarity Games in August, it looked as if Savadkouhi's 2022 would appear to follow the pattern of his 2021 of failing again to break through and fulfill his true potential against the elite of the elite in his weight class. What would take place in the climax of 2022 would be career-transforming for the talented Iranian. In November while competing in the Iranian Pro League finals, Savadkouhi would walk away with a stunning victory over reigning three-time World/Olympic champion #1 (74) Zaurbek Sidakov of Russia and follow it in December with a spectacular 6-6 criteria win over reigning 79 KG world champion #2 Jordan Burroughs in the finals of the World Cup. From failing to make his country's world team to beating two of the greatest wrestlers of all time in the same year, Savadkouhi has earned the right to be called 2022's Wrestler of the Year. 2. #2 (74) Kyle Dake (United States of America) #2 (74) Kyle Dake earns the number two spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings for winning his fourth world title at 74 KG over #24 Taimuraz Salkazanov (SVK). Dake has two prior world titles at 79 kilograms in 2018 and 2019 along with an Olympic bronze medal and world title in 2021 at 74 KG. Dake has victories over fellow Wrestlers of the Year in the form of #3 David Taylor, #4 Jordan Burroughs and #24 Taimuraz Salkazanov. 3. #1 (86) David Taylor (United States of America) David Taylor earns the number three spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings for his 86 KG Senior World Championships title over reigning World Champion #2 Hassan Yazdani Charati (IRI). At the World Championships, Taylor outscored the competition by a 40-1 margin with victories over the likes of #2 (86) Hassan Yazdani Charati (IRI), #7 (86) Azamat Dauletbekov (KAZ), Ethan Ramos (PUR), and Aaron Caneva (ITA). Taylor's gold in Belgrade was his third World/Olympic gold medal with his first two coming at the 2018 World Championships in Belgrade and in 2021 at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Taylor's world finals victory avenged his loss in the 2021 world finals to arch rival #2 (86) Hassan Yazdani Charati of Iran. 4. #2 (79) Jordan Burroughs (United States of America) Jordan Burroughs earns the number four spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings after winning his second consecutive title at 79 KG for his seventh World/Olympic gold medal and tenth overall World/Olympic medal. Burroughs' 2022 saw him take gold at the Yasar Dogu, Pan-Am Championships, and Senior World Championships while notching victories over the like of #1 (79) Ali Savadkouhi (IRI), #6 (79) Mohammad Nokhodilarimi (IRI), #11 (79) Chance Marsteller (USA), #13 (79) Gadzhimurad Alikhmaev (RUS), and #15 Vladimeri Gamkrelidze (GEO). Burroughs is unable to have a higher spot in the rankings due to losses to fellow Wrestlers of the Year, #14 Chance Marsteller and #1 Ali Savadkouhi, at Final X and the World Cup. 5. #1 (57) Zavur Uguev (Russia) Zavur Uguev earns the number five spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings for earning his sixth straight Russian Nationals title over #10 (57) Nachyn Mongush (RUS) and beating Islamic Solidarity Games champion #8 (57) Gulomjon Abdullaev (UZB) at PWL 3. Uguev is currently a three-time World/Olympic champion, winning gold in 2018, 2019, and 2021 and has wins over fellow ranked Wrestlers of the Year #7 Rahman Amouzad (IRI) and #9 Abasgadzhi Magomedov (RUS). 6. #2 (57) Rei Higuchi (Japan) To understand how Rei Higuchi has become the dominant force he is today, we must understand where Higuchi began. Rei Higuchi first broke through at the 2016 Olympics, where at the age of 20 he made the 57 KG Olympic finals by beating three past world champions in Kyong Il Yang of North Korea, Yowlys Bonne Rodriguez of Cuba and Hassan Rahimi of Iran. Ultimately coming up short in a controversial finals match against reigning world champion Vladimir Khinchegashvili, Higuchi was seen as the man as the frontrunner to take control of 57 KG for the foreseeable future. Higuchi would struggle to find the success he found at 57 KG in the ensuing years as the weight cut proved too difficult and he moved up to 61 KG in 2017. After bronze medal finishes at the Yarygin and Asian championships, Higuchi would not represent Japan at the Senior World Championships after losing his wrestle-off to Rinya Nakamura. Moving up to 65 KG to start 2018, Higuchi would continue to see mixed results with a runner-up finish at the All-Japan Invitational championships in June to eventual world champion #2 (65) Takuto Otoguro and fail to place at the Dmitri Korkin tournament in September after losses to #7 (65) Tulga Tumur Ochir (MGL) and Daulet Niyazbekov (KAZ). With a breakthrough in his weight class at the U23 world championships in November where he avenged his loss to #7 (65) Tulga Tumur Ochir (MGL) and won gold over Ali Rahimzade (AZE), Higuchi's stock seemed to be on the rise. Unfortunately for Higuchi, the depth of Japan would see him relegated to the bench yet again with losses at the Japanese Championships to reigning world champion #2 (65) Takuto Otoguro and 2017 61 KG U23 world champion Rinya Nakamura. 2019 saw a change of fortune for Higuchi as he finally defeated long time rival #2 (65) Takuto Otoguro with a 15-5 tech fall in the Meiji Cup after three past losses to the 2018 world champion. Higuchi's breakthrough would be short lived as Otoguro rebounded to beat Higuchi in the world team wrestle-offs. With the frustration of having failed to make a Senior world team for three years straight, Higuchi decided to make the cut back down to 57 KG, where he had seen his greatest career success. Finishing 2019 on a high note, Higuchi beat 2017 world champion Yuki Takahashi in the Japanese Championships to get the chance to qualify Japan at 57 KG for the Tokyo Olympics and redeem himself for gold. Higuchi's chance at Olympic redemption would never happen in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic shut competition for the majority of 2020. Making his return at the end of 2020, Higuchi would suffer a shocking upset loss to Yuto Takeshita at the Japanese Championships and have his chances of Olympic gold jeopardized. Beginning 2021, Higuchi was sent as Japan's representative for the Asian Olympic qualifier and when he failed to make weight for the qualifier, Japan was left without a representative at 57 KG for their own Olympics. Depleted from an intensive weight cut and riding off back to back poor performances, Higuchi's final chance at gold in Tokyo would be squashed as he lost in his wrestle-off against Yuki Takahashi. After soul crushing defeats and setbacks at 57 and 65 KG, Higuchi made the decision to compete at 61 KG for the 2022 season. To say Higuchi was dominant at 61 KG is an understatement. Across his titles at the Asian Championships and Senior World Championships, Higuchi garnered 90 points to his opponents 11 and tallied seven tech falls out of eight total matches, with only #5 (61) Seth Gross of the United States not being tech falled in a 15-7 quarterfinal loss at the Senior World Championships. Concluding his year, Higuchi would make the cut down to 57 KG where he would dominate Yuki Takahashi in the semifinals of the Emperor's Cup and win gold over Asian Championships bronze medalist Rikuto Arai in the finals. For Higuchi's complete and utter dominance of the 61 KG field, he earned the right to be one of 2022's Wrestlers of the Year. 7. #1 (65) Rahman Amouzad (Iran) Rahman Amouzad earns the number seven spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings after taking gold at the 65 KG Senior World Championships. Amouzad had an undefeated 2022 campaign that saw him pick up titles at the Asian and World Championships and go 2-0 at the World Cup with victories over #8 (65) Yianni Diakomihalis (USA) and #18 (61) Taiyrbek Zhumashbek Uulu (KGZ). Amouzad tallied elite wins in 2022 over the likes of World/Olympic medalists #3 (65) Ismail Musukaev (HUN), #4 (65) Haji Aliyev (AZE), #8 (65) Yianni Diakomihalis (USA), and #14 (65) Bajrang Punia (IND). 8. #2 (97) Kyle Snyder (United States of America) Finishing 2021 with back to back losses to #1 (97) Abdulrashid Sadulaev (RUS) in the Olympic and World finals, Kyle Snyder had yet to win a World or Olympic title in over four years going into the 2022 season going back his streak of three World/Olympic golds from 2015-2017. With Russia being banned from competing due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, Snyder's path to gold was cleared of the Russian Tank in Sadulaev. Even in Sadulaev's absence, Snyder's path to gold saw domestic and international obstacles in the form of two-time 92 KG world champion #2 (92) J'den Cox (USA) and #9 (97) Mohammad Mohammadian (IRI) who pinned Snyder at the 2020 Matteo Pellicone Tournament. A man on a mission, Snyder was undeniable in the 2022 season, beating Cox in a two match series at the RudisPlus event and avenging his loss to Mohammadian in the Senior World Championships quarterfinals on his way to outscoring the competition 24-2 and winning gold over #6 (97) Batyrbek Tsakulov (SVK). Concluding the 2021 season, Snyder went undefeated at the World Cup and picked up a marquee win over reigning two-time 92 KG champion #1 (92) Kamran Ghasempour of Iran. For Snyder's Senior World title and dominance, he earns the number eight spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings. 9. #1 (61) Abasgadzhi Magomedov (Russia) Abasgadzhi Magomedov earns the number nine spot in the rankings for taking gold at the Ivan Yarygin Memorial, Russian Nationals, Dmitri Korkin Memorial Tournament and International Khasavyurt Tournament. Magomedov suffered his first loss since 2020 to #2 (61) Akhmed Idrisov in August at the All-Russian Spartakiad that he avenged in the finals of the Dmitri Korkin Memorial Tournament and the International Khasavyurt Tournament. Magomedov, a 2021 world champion at 61 kilograms, beat #2 (61) Akhmed Idrisov (RUS), #3 (57) Zelimkhan Abakarov (ALB), #9 (61) Muslim Mekhtikhanov (RUS) and #15 (61) Bashir Magomedov (RUS). 10. #1 (74) Zaurbek Sidakov (Russia) Zaurbek Sidakov earns the number ten spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings for taking gold at the first and second Ivan Poddubny tournament, the North Ossetian championships and the Dmitri Korkin Memorial Tournament. Sidakov notched wins in 2022 over #6 (74) David Baev (RUS), #7 (74) Cherman Valiev (RUS), #11 (74) Timur Bizhoev (RUS), #13 (74) Magomed Dibirgadzhiev (RUS), Kurban Shiraev (RUS), and #19 (74) Younes Emami (IRI). Sidakov is held back in the Wrestler of the Year rankings for not competing at Russian Nationals due to an ankle injury along with a loss in November in the Iranian Pro League to #1 (79) Ali Savadkouhi (IRI). 11. #5 (74) Razambek Zhamalov (Russia) Razambek Zhamalov earns the number eleven spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings for winning his gold at the 74 KG Russian Nationals Championships and winning the All-Russian Spartakiad. Zhamalov, who came back from a year long lay off due to shoulder and knee injuries, took bronze on his return at the first Ivan Poddubny tournament after a loss to #6 (74) David Baev (RUS). Shaking off the ring rust from his performance at the Poddubny, Zhamalov was in top form at Russian Nationals where he beat Baev 9-3 in the semifinals and defeated 2020 70 KG Russian Nationals champion #7 (74) Cherman Valiev (RUS) in the finals for his second Russian Nationals title. Zhamalov followed his Russian Nationals title with gold at the All-Russian Spartakiad where he defeated #6 (74) David Baev (RUS), evening the series between the two at 3-3. 12. #3 (57) Zelimkhan Abakarov (Albania) Zelimkhan Abakarov earns the number twelve spot in the Wrestler of The Year Rankings for winning the 57 KG Senior World Championships. At the World Championships, Abakarov outscored his competition 46-5 and notched ranked victories over the likes of #4 (57) Thomas Gilman (USA), #5 (57) Stevan Micic (SRB), #7 (57) Reineri Andreu Ortega (CUB), and #8 (57) Gulomyon Abdullaev (UZB). Overall, Abakarov competed at nine tournaments competing from 57-65 KG taking gold at the 57 KG world championships, 61 KG Dan Kolov Tournament, 65 KG Muhammet Malo Tournament and the 65 KG Mediterranean Games while finishing with bronze at the 61 KG Yarygin and silver at the 65 KG Islamic Solidarity Games. 13. #2 (61) Akhmed Idrisov (Russia) Akhmed Idrisov takes the number thirteen spot in the rankings for his victory over 2021 Senior World Champion #1 (61) Abasgadzhi Magomedov (RUS) in the 61 KG All-Russian Spartakiad finals in August. In 2022, Idrisov medaled at five tournaments with a gold at the All-Russian Spartakiad and four silver medals starting with the 57 KG Yarygin in January to #13 (57) Ramiz Gamzatov and the Russian Nationals Championships, Dmitri Korkin Memorial, and the International Khasavyurt Tournament to #1 (61) Abasgadzhi Magomedov (RUS). 14. #11 (79) Chance Marsteller (United States of America) 2022 was the year that saw Chance Marsteller break through. Marsteller began the year in February with a runner-up finish at the Yasar Dogu to Senior World champion #2 (79) Jordan Burroughs (USA). At the Yasar Dogu, Marsteller had a strong group of wins over 2017 74 KG Senior World runner-up Khetag Tsabolov (SRB), 2020 79 KG Asian Champion Arsalan Budazhapov (KGZ), Nuri Temur (TUR), and U.S. stalwart David McFadden. Following his performance in Turkey, Marsteller would falter somewhat in the U.S. Open, falling in in the semifinals to McFadden and losing in the consolation semifinals to #18 (79) Alex Dieringer to finish fifth over Brayden Thompson. Marsteller was a man possessed in the U.S. World Team Trials, pulling out victories over two-time NCAA champion #17 (79) Carter Starocci and McFadden to set up a three match finals series against Vincenzo Joseph. Proving himself yet again, Marsteller came away in an heart-pounding three-match series against dangerous Joseph to set up a three-match series at Final X against reigning Senior World champion #2 (79) Jordan Burroughs. Marsteller would rebound from a 4-0 loss in his opening match against Burroughs to stun the wrestling world with a 2-2 criteria victory in their second match. With the chance of representing the U.S. at the World Championships, both men were in top form for their third match, Burroughs made his eleventh straight world team with a 5-0 win over Marsteller. After coming so close to unseating the king of 79 kilos, Marsteller would finish his year off in July at the Zouhaier Sghaier Tournament, where after wins over U23 and Senior European champion Georgios Kougiomtsidis (GRE) and Senior Asian champion #1 (79) Ali Savadkouhi (IRI), Marsteller fell in the third round of round robin action to 2021 world silver medalist #6 (79) Mohammad Nokhodilarimi (IRI) and again in the semifinals to #10(79) Bolat Sakaev (KAZ) and finished his tournament with a 10-0 tech fall over Asian Championships runner-up Baliyan Gourav (IND). Marsteller's run through the loaded U.S. 79 KG weight class that culminated in a victory over reigning world champion #2 (79) Jordan Burroughs along with victories over international standouts #1 (79) Ali Savadkouhi (IRI), Khetag Tsabolov (SRB) and 2022 Senior World bronze medalist Arsalan Budazhapov (KGZ) warrant a spot as one of the top wrestlers of the year. 15. #3 (79) Akhmed Usmanov (Russia) Akhmed Usmanov earns the number fifteen spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings off of titles at the second Ivan Poddubny Tournament, Dmitri Korkin Memorial Tournament, and the International Khasavyurt Tournament. Usmanov's string of titles to end the year saw him notch wins over the like of 2020 74 KG Olympic runner-up #4 (79) Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov, #5 (79) Radik Valiev (RUS), and #7 (79) Khalid Yakhiev (RUS). Usmanov's performance is even more impressive when you consider the fact he failed to place at the Ivan Yarygin Memorial and Russian Nationals and took bronze All-Russian Spartakiad with losses to #5 (79) Radik Valiev (RUS), #8 (79) Magomed Magomaev (RUS), #13 (79) Gadzhimurad Alikhmaev (RUS), and #9 (86) Malik Shavaev (RUS). 16. #1 (70) Taishi Narikuni (Japan) Taishi Narikuni earns the number sixteen spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings for winning gold at the 70 KG Senior World Championships. At the Senior World Championships, Narikuni notched ranked wins over #2 (70) Ilyas Bekbulatov (UZB), #5 (70) Ernazar Akmataliev (KGZ), and #15 (70) Zain Retherford (USA). Narikuni's quarterfinal win over #2 (70) Ilyas Bekbulatov (UZB) and his finals win over #15 (70) Zain Retherford (USA) were especially impressive as the talented Japanese wrestler tech falled Bekbulatov and Retherford in the first period 11-0 and 10-0 respectively. 17. #1 (125) Taha Akgul (Turkey) Taha Akgul earned his 4th World/Olympic title over 2021 Senior World bronze medalist #3 (125) Lkhagvagerel Munkhtur (MGL). Akgul used an upset over reigning world champion Amir Zare to make the finals after a disappointing bronze medal finish in 2021. Akgul reigned supreme over the heavyweight division from 2014-2016 with two world titles and Olympic gold but 2017-2021 would see the Turkish titan struggle. Akgul would show a masterclass of dominance and technical superiority early in the year as shown by his five straight European titles from 2017-2022 but faltered come time to regain his World/Olympic glory. Losses to Geno Petriashvili in the 2017 and 2019 world finals, being eliminated in the 2018 world quarterfinals by Parviz Hadi, and lopsided loses at the 2021 Olympics and 2021 World Championships to eventual champions Gable Steveson and Amir Zare all saw Akgul held back from heavyweight superiority. Akgul's world title in Belgrade was his fourth World/Olympic gold and ninth World/Olympic medal to go along with two world silver medals in 2017 and 2019 along with a pair of bronze medals from the 2020 Olympics and 2021 World Championships. Whether Akgul will be able to repeat his three World/Olympic titles from 2014-2016 in the newly reinvigorated heavyweight field will be one of the biggest storylines to keep track of this quad. 18. #2 (86) Hassan Yazdani Charati (Iran) Hassan Yazdani Charati makes the number eighteen spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings for his runner-up finish at the 86 KG Senior World Championships. Yazdani Charati outscored his competition 31-0 on his way to the final where he lost to reigning Olympic champion #1 (86) David Taylor (USA). Yazdani holds eight World/Olympic medals to his name with four golds, three silvers and one bronze. Yazdani's win over #1 (86) David Taylor in the 2021 world finals was Taylor's only loss since 2017 when he lost in the finals of the World Team Trials to #2 (92) J'den Cox (USA). Yazdani has wins over fellow Wrestlers of the Year #3 David Taylor (USA) and #19 Kamran Ghasempour (IRI). 19. #1 (92) Kamran Ghasempour (Iran) Kamran Ghasempour makes the number nineteen spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings for winning his second consecutive world title at 92 KG with a victory over two-time world champion #2 (92) J'den Cox of the United States. Finishing the year at the World Cup, Ghasempour bumped up to 97 KG to take on four-time World/Olympic champion #2 (97) Kyle Snyder of the United States. Facing off against the powerhouse American, Ghasempour fell 5-0 in the marquee match of the tournament. 20. #5 (65) Abdulmazhid Kudiev (Russia) Abdulmazhid Kudiev makes the number twenty spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings for his win over Yarygin, Yasar Dogu, and All-Russian Spartakiad champion #6 (65) Shamil Mamedov (RUS) in the finals of the Dmitri Korkin Memorial Tournament. Kudiev's victory over Mamedov crowned him as the top man in Russia in an absolutely loaded 65 KG weight class including Kudiev makes up nine of the top twenty ranked wrestlers in the world; #6 (65) Shamil Mamedov, #9 (65) Ramazan Ferzaliev, #10 (65) Ibragim Ibragimov, #11 (65) Gadzhimurad Omarov, #12 (65) Gadzhimurad Rashidov, #13 (65) Aripgadzhi Abdulaev, #16 (65) Elbrus Valiev and #17 (65) Alik Khadartsev. 21. #6 (65) Shamil Mamedov (Russia) Shamil Mamedov makes the number twenty one spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings off the strength of titles at the Yarygin, Yasar Dogu, and All-Russian Spartakiad. Mamedov took ranked wins over the likes of #7 (65) Tulga Tumur Ochir (MGL), #9 (65) Ramazan Ferzaliev #11 (65) Gadzhimurad Rashidov (RUS), #11 (70) Zagir Shakhiev (RUS), #8 (61) Islam Dudaev (ALB), #17 (65) Alik Khadartsev (RUS), and #18 (65) Umidjon Jalolov (UZB). Mamedov's two losses of the year occurred in the quarterfinals of the Russian Nationals Championships to eventual bronze medalist #13 (65) Aripgadzhi Abdulaev (RUS) and in the finals of the Dmitri Korkin Memorial Tournament to #5 (65) Abdulmazhid Kudiev (RUS). For his litany of ranked wins plus international titles, Mamedov earns the number twenty one spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings. 22. #7 (65) Tulga Tumur Ochir (Mongolia) Tulga Tumur Ochir makes the number twenty two spot in the Wrestler of the Year rankings on the strengths of wins over Senior World runner-up #8 (65) Yianni Diakomihalis (USA) and Russian Nationals Championships #10 (65) Ibragim Ibragimov (RUS). Tumur Ochir's wins over Diakomihalis and Ibragimov both took place in December, with his victory over Diakomihalis taking place at the World Cup and his win over Ibragimov at the PWL 3. Overall, Tumur Ochir finished the year with two titles at the Bolat Turlykhanov Cup and the Kunaev Tournament while registering a runner-up finish at the Poddubny Tournament to #17 (65) Alik Khadartsev (RUS) and taking fifth at the Yasar Dogu. 23. #8 (65) Yianni Diakomihalis (United States of America) Yianni Diakomihalis earns the number blank spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings for his silver medal at the Senior World Championships that broke a 16-year drought for the United States at 65/66kg going back to Bill Zadick's gold medal over Otar Tushishvili of Georgia at the 2006 World Championships. Diakomihalis's path to the finals saw him outscore his competition 34-0 with wins over #14 (65) Bajrang Punia (IND), #15 (65) Vazgen Tevanyan (ARM), Vladimir Dubov (BUL), and Sebastian Rivera (PUR). In the finals, Diakomihalis dropped a high octane 13-8 match to #1(65) Rahman Amouzad of Iran. Diakomihalis would be higher in the rankings but is held back by losses at the World Cup to #22 Tulga Tumur Ochir (MGL) and #8 Rahman Amouzad (IRI). 24. #3 (74) Taimuraz Salkazanov (Slovakia) Building on his excellent 2021 campaign that saw him win his first Senior European title and take silver at the world championships, Taimuraz Salkazanov cemented his status as a top 74 KG title contender in 2022. Beginning the year by winning his second Senior European championships title by beating two-time Senior World champion #4 (74) Frank Chamizo of Italy and won titles at the Bolat Turlykhanov Cup and Matteo Pellicone Tournament before finishing with his second consecutive world silver medal to #2 (74) Kyle Dake of the United States. Going into the 2023 season, Salkazanov owns three Senior World medals to his name and looks poised to add a fourth in 2023 to qualify for the Paris Olympics. 25. #3 (125) Lkhagvagerel Munkhtur (Mongolia) Lkhagvagerel Munkhtur makes the number twenty five spot in the Wrestler of The Year rankings due to his win over three-time world champion #4 (125) Geno Petriashvili of Georgia at the 2022 Senior World Championships. Munkhtur's victory of Petriashvili was the first loss for the Georgian to a non World/Olympic champion since the 2018 International Ukrainian Tournament finals to 2019 world bronze medalist Oleksandr Khotsianivski of Ukraine.
  14. Penn State freshman 157 lber Levi Haines (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) This week, we enjoyed watching some tight duals - including Iowa's scare against Wisconsin - took in the smoke and light show at the Bryce Jordan Center and puzzled over how some of these weight classes are going to end up shaking out between Big Ten wrestlers. Here are our takeaways from the week, and BIG Awards at the bottom! All eyes are on Penn State's 157-pound decision as Iowa looms True freshman Levi Haines brought the 15,975 fans at the Bryce Jordan Center to their feet Friday when he took down Michigan's No. 10 Will Lewan in sudden victory for the 3-1 win. The crowd erupted and threw two fingers into the air, signifying the takedown, as the true freshman proved his mettle and poise under pressure on the big stage, knocking off the NCAA All-American. Despite that electric performance, head coach Cael Sanderson said the final decision on whether to start Haines or junior Terrell Barraclough against Iowa on Friday has yet to be decided. It was the junior who took the mat Sunday against Michigan State, falling 6-2 to No. 15 Chase Saldate and preserving Haines' redshirt for another week. "That was just the plan moving into the weekend," Sanderson said. "Levi, obviously, had a great win on Friday. Terrell was close again. He was right there with another possible All-American candidate and just didn't quite get it. If Levi wrestles again, that means his redshirt is pulled. So, we've got to be careful with that." Adding to the pressure on the coaching staff to make a decision is the fact that No. 2 Iowa will be in town Friday for the most anticipated dual meet of the season. In order to win, the Nittany Lions will almost certainly have to field their best lineup. But even if Penn State starts Haines against Iowa and burns his redshirt, Sanderson cautioned that that doesn't necessarily mean he's a lock for the postseason. "I think Terrell is right there and Levi's right there, obviously; they're both going to compete," Sanderson said. "That's a decision that we're gonna have to make here in the next little while. Now, I don't think it has to be done by Friday, but sooner rather than later is usually better." Haines improved to 14-1 on the season, his lone loss being to Northern Colorado's Vince Zerban at the Bearcat Open early in the season. Barraclough fell to 6-3, with his losses being to Saldate, Lehigh's No. 5 Josh Humphreys and a 2-1 decision to Haines at the Black Knight Invitational. Barraclough's biggest win of the season was over Indiana's No. 19 Derek Gilcher, 6-0. Whoever takes the mat on Friday will likely face off against No. 21 Cobe Siebrecht, whose two losses this season came to top-ranked Peyton Robb, of Nebraska, and Illinois veteran Mike Carr. Siebrecht had a top-10 win of his own last week when he knocked off then-No. 9 Trevor Chumbley, of Northwestern. As one of several swing matches in the contest between the top two teams in the country, whichever Nittany Lion gets the start could be key in determining whether Penn State's 38-straight dual streak continues and which team will sit atop the Big Ten at the end of the dual season. Wisconsin pushes Iowa to tiebreakers Duals are the best. Anything can happen. I've been saying all year that Wisconsin is better than their record indicates. The Badgers currently sit at 1-4 in the B1G, but that's with losses to Michigan, Penn State, and Iowa, all duals that on paper they were not favored, to begin with. Also, they have a couple of spots in their lineup where they are looking for guys to step up. Well, that's exactly what happened here. Tyler Dow went out there when his team needed a spark nearing the end of the dual, and pinned Abe Assad, ranked 8th at the time. Dow, notably a Greco guy, is certainly dangerous and has proven to be a tough matchup throughout the season. Here he locked up double overhooks, stepped in, and tossed Assad. Holding onto those double-overs, he continued to pressure Assad until ultimately getting the pin. Was it a quick call? Sure was. Would I be upset if I were Assad, who did an admirable job bridging and working to get off of his back or out of bounds? One hundred percent I would, but that's what happened. That essentially made up for the Spencer Lee pin of Barnett, and the rest of the matches were split-headed into Heavyweight. Now, there's been some talk about Trent Hilger being greased up for his match with Cassioppi. I think it's much more likely that heavyweights sweat a lot, and he got a good warmup before the match to decide the dual, and that sweat is slippery, but it was requested that it be printed, so here we are. It didn't stop Cassioppi from getting the win to seal the dual for the Hawkeyes, who remain undefeated. In the end, the Hawkeyes didn't wrestle their full lineup, gave up a 9-point swing (give or take) from what they anticipated getting at 184, and still came home with a win. It wasn't pretty, but it's a win. Next Iowa takes on Penn State this Friday night at 8:30 pm EST in what is the most anticipated dual of the year where the number 1 Penn State Nittany Lions will host the number 2 Iowa Hawkeyes. It's part of an awesome doubleheader with Michigan hosting Ohio State at 6pm EST on the Big Ten Network. Make sure to block off time to catch these awesome duals. Iowa wasn't the only team with a close victory this weekend … This week's Big Ten slate featured some not-so-close duals. Ohio State took it to Maryland on the road, Nebraska was unable to hang with Iowa, and Michigan dominated Rutgers after being dominated at Penn State. But not to be overlooked, there were a couple duals - in addition to Iowa vs. Wisconsin - that came down to the wire in Rutgers, 16-15, over Michigan State and Northwestern winning via match points criteria, 18-17, over Illinois. Both of those duals went to the home teams and had their crowds on their feet. For the Scarlet Knights, their contest against the Spartans marked their first home dual in 70 days and the first time competing back in Jersey Mike's Arena since Feb. 19, 2022. Rutgers got things off on the right foot with four straight wins from Dean Peterson, Joe Heilmann, Joseph Olivieri and Tony White. The Scarlet Knights were riding a 16-6 lead heading into the marquee matchup between No. 13 Brian Soldano and No. 15 Layne Malczewski, of Michigan State. A wild exchange less than a minute into the first period left Soldano with an early 6-2 lead but Michigan State coach Roger Chandler challenged for locked hands to be called against Rutgers. He got the match point for Malczewski but was deducted what ended up being a crucial team point for a technical violation. Malczewski ended up winning the chaotic battle in a 14-6 major decision. The Spartans won the last two bouts but it wasn't enough, as the Scarlet Knights prevailed by a point. Northwestern and Illinois also kept fans on the edge of their seats. Unlike Rutgers, Northwestern started out in the hole, with Lucas Byrd kicking things off at 133 pounds with a 5-2 win over Chris Cannon in a top-15 battle, and sophomore Danny Pucino earned another upset - this time over No. 10 Frankie Tal-Shahar at 141. Veteran Yahya Thomas was able to get things back on track for the Wildcats with his 11th straight win. Trevor Chumbley added another win and Maxx Mayfield earned a big upset over No. 12 Danny Braunagel. But after the Wildcats lost three straight - including an Edmond Ruth technical fall - they needed bonus points at heavyweight or 125 to at least tie. Matt Wroblewski fended off Lucas Davison just enough to keep it to a decision - leaving it up to Michael DeAugustino. Read more about DeAugustino's bout against Maximo Renteria below in our BIG Awards section. Spoiler Alert - he gets it done. While neither of these duals may have had the largest stakes in terms of rankings, every win in the Big Ten, as Rutgers coach Scott Goodale reminded reporters, is worth celebrating, especially the gritty ones. "You see our team, we are blue-collar type kids. We just want to work real hard. Maybe we aren't the most talented, and in this conference, that gets really difficult," Goodale told the media after the MSU meet. "These wins are hard to come by. I thought we probably should have got one against Indiana, and didn't. When you let one get away, it kind of sets you behind the eight ball. So, that is kind of how we went about it. There is no question about it, we are looking at this dual meet schedule and know it's going to be really, really difficult, but we know we are going to be ready for March. " B1G Parity It feels like some of the weights in the B1G are crazier than in years past. Sure, upsets happen, and styles often dictate matchups, but this year more than many I feel like it's getting out of hand. Some of these weights have some established stars, but below that the athletes are just beating each other with little rhyme or reason. As we get deeper into the conference schedule, we are seeing several weight classes going bonkers with some wacky results. Let's start with 125; I wrote last week about how angry Spencer Lee was terrifying. I haven't changed my mind on that at all. Especially off of another week and two more pins of Liam Cronin (ranked 3rd at that time) and of Eric Barnett of Wisconsin (ranked 6th at that time). Lee's intensity this year is second to none, and I joked on Twitter in a reply to Mason Beckman (Hi Mason), that Spencer is wrestling like he's trying to get the Hodge Trophy renamed "the Lee" Trophy. So Spencer Lee is good and we've established that. I didn't expect there to be such a crazy parity between the rest of the B1G wrestlers at 125. Just this weekend we had Purdue's Matt Ramos (10th ranked at that time) beat Wisconsin's Eric Barnett (6) and Patrick McKee (5) of Minnesota. We had Gary Steen (unranked) of Penn State beat Tristan Lujan of Michigan State, ranked 24th at the time. Dean Peterson of Rutgers beat Jack Medley, who had just come off of a nice win over Barnett of Wisconsin himself from the previous week. It's expected that there will be some interesting results during the dual season, which is what makes duals awesome, but I figured some of these guys would begin to rise above the field a bit by this point. Isn't that what usually happens by now? We have the dust begin to settle and we can kind of make out what the end is going to look like? Not this year. These 125 pounders will continue to beat each other throughout the rest of the regular season, making seeding the B1G tournament at 125 lbs essentially a toss-up for two through 14. The good news is that now being pinned by Spencer Lee will put you in rather elite company. Let's continue with 141; So Real Woods (Iowa), Beau Bartlett (Penn State), and Brock Hardy (Nebraska) have been holding it down, in that order. Hardy just had a close loss to Woods last weekend, and we'll see Woods v Bartlett this weekend, but outside of those three, the parity has been wild. Jake Begeland of Minnesota started the year ranked 3rd at the weight, but finds himself struggling with some stiff competition this year. I trust he'll rebound, but for the time being he's a solid example of how this weight is eating itself. This weekend he lost to Parker Fillius, who seems to be rounding into form after a tough start to the season himself. Just two weeks ago, Bergeland dropped a match to Frankie Tal-Shahar of Northwestern as well. Then this weekend Frankie (ranked 10th entering this weekend) lost to Danny Pucino of Illinois, who was ranked 14th at the time. Oh yeah, and Danny pinned Parker Fillius just over a week ago. Good news though, Minnesota wrestles Illinois this weekend, so undoubtedly we'll get to see the Golden Gopher Bergeland beat The Fighting Illini of Pucino, just to make this roller coaster of insanity continue. It can't stop, and it won't stop. This is the way. Last walk-through for this exercise is 157; Brayton Lee of Minnesota started the year off ranked 1st in the country, now in late January he is 4-6 I believe, and ranked 17th. It's not his fault, 157 is hard and these dudes are just swapping wins and losses. These weight classes are cannibalizing themselves! Cannibalism is so hot these days. Meanwhile, Chase Saldate (Michigan State) has been floating around and beating anyone he can get his hands on in the B1G, steadily climbing up the rankings. He has wins over Will Lewan of Michigan, the aforementioned Brayton Lee, Andrew Clark of Rutgers, and most recently Barraclough of Penn State. Interestingly enough, on paper, his toughest challenges coming up will be Gallagher of Ohio State, and Gilcher of Indiana. He already has a loss to Gilcher from the Reno Tournament of Champions from earlier this year, but that would be a nice win to finish out the B1G schedule. Outside of that, he's beaten the toughest opponents on his schedule from the conference. Meanwhile, holding steady at the top of the mountain has been Peyton Robb of Nebraska. That doesn't seem too crazy right, well Kendall Coleman of Purdue (ranked 3rd headed into this weekend) got a win over Brayton Lee, but also lost to Garrett Model of Wisconsin (ranked 18th at the time). Model followed that big win up by losing to Cobe Siebrecht of Iowa (21st headed into the weekend). Then you've got Will Lewan, ranked 10th headed into the weekend losing in OT to Levi Haines of Penn State (17th ranked at the time), who might not get the starting job this season if they elect to keep his redshirt status. This is all to say, the B1G is hard. I don't know that I'm going to be too critical of wrestlers taking some of the early season tournaments off. I don't think I'm going to be too critical of guys making sure they're prepared for their conference matches. Weekends with two grueling duals are really tough. I'm just going to appreciate the ones that go hard start to finish that much more. AWARDS!!! Welcome to the second 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: Ramos with two B1G wins over the weekend Matt Ramos of Purdue had himself one hell of a weekend. I referenced it briefly above, but he had not 1, but 2 upsets this weekend. Ramos, being the road warrior that he is (now I'm picturing him wearing the Legion of Doom shoulder pads) first traveled to Madison and knocked off Eric Barnett 4-3 on Friday night, followed by a quick jaunt to Minneapolis to beat Patrick McKee. Ramos just spent the weekend beating two multiple-time All-Americans in his first year down at 125. B1Gger picture, Ramos is 20-3 on the year, with losses to Spencer Lee (it happens), Richie Figueroa (at times proven he's one of the top guys at the weight, when he's the starter for Arizona State at least), and Anthony Molton (really good wrestler and High School teammate, which makes for a tough match when someone is that familiar with you). This is all to say that he should be considered a guy who can become the number 2 seed in the B1G by March. B1Ggest Win: Down goes Kerkvliet Michigan didn't have a lot to be excited about leaving Happy Valley on Friday night, but at least they left on a high note as Mason Parris, in a battle of #2 versus #1, got the win over Greg Kerkvliet. I spoke with coach Bormet yesterday, and he mentioned (paraphrasing here) how this is as healthy as Mason has been in a number of years, and as happy as he was with that win, that wasn't the ultimate goal. Also though, this win doesn't mean nothing. He stopped shots from Kerkvliet, he hand-fought well, and he matched the athleticism of Kerkvliet in this match. In the end, stopping another one of Kerkvliet's shots to get the match-winning takedown was something we don't see from most mortal men. Last year it didn't look like that was the case, but it's clear that a healthy Mason Parris is a different thing to worry about. B1Ggest Move: Don't sleep on Fillius Purdue's Parker Fillius was down 2-0 with less than 30 seconds left in the match and was on bottom. Parker Fillius is a gritty SOB though and just kept wrestling. Parker hit a sit-out, started working on the legs of Bergeland, and then went head hunting. He ended up turning through and executing a reversal and locking up a cradle, nearly getting the pin, but ultimately getting the win. As a guy who had a lot of come-from-behind wins myself, I always appreciate the never say die mentality, and to snag a conference win like that against an All-American in Bergeland is huge. This win, along with Copass getting a win in the last seconds of regulation at Heavyweight, were some nice wins for Purdue in a tough dual on the road. Lauren's picks: B1Ggest upset: Penn State's No. 17 Levi Haines over Michigan's No. 10 Will Lewan There were a number of solid candidates for biggest upset this week. A few that come to mind are Illinois' No. 14 Danny Pucino's 8-6 decision over Northwestern's No. 10 Frankie Tal-Shahar, Northwestern's Maxx Mayfield over Illinois' No. 11 Danny Braunagel and Haines' own teammate No. 16 Alex Facundo's tiebreaker win over Michigan's No. 5 Cam Aminie in the exact same dual. What tips the scales in Haines' direction is the big-picture implications for Penn State should his shirt be pulled (as expected). As discussed above, Haines' redshirt is still intact - for now - and Sanderson hasn't publicly committed to pulling it. But one could reasonably assume that this past weekend's results make not doing so much more difficult. With this win, Haines showed he has the ability to beat All-American contenders, thrusting his name into that mix. Penn State hasn't had an All-American at 157 pounds since Jason Nolf in 2019. B1Ggest win: Northwestern's Michael DeAugustino's dual-clinching major decision over Illinois' Maximo Renteria After dropping three-straight matches against Illinois - including a technical fall - the Wildcats found themselves in a position where they needed bonus points at heavyweight or 125 to at least tie. Lucas Davison worked for bonus but Matt Wroblewski's stingy defense limited him to a 6-2 decision. That meant that DeAugustino needed a major decision for the tie. It didn't look like he was going to get it, leading Renteria just 1-0 heading into the third period. But DeAugustino knew what he had to do and kept working on top until he was able to turn the Illini for 4 nearfall and a 5-1 lead with less than a minute to go. He did it again with about 20 seconds remaining, and - with 1:17 in riding time - posted the 10-1 major decision to tie the dual and earn the win on match points criteria. B1Ggest move: Penn State's Alex Facundo's duck-under in sudden victory to complete the sweep of fellow Michiganders With the literal spotlight of the BJC on his teammate Levi Haines this weekend, Facundo's performances may have flown under the radar. But the Michigan native took out not one - but two - fellow Michigan natives this weekend. It started at the BJC with a 5-5 win in the ultimate tiebreaker over a former high school rival in Cam Amine. He then closed his weekend with a 3-1 decision in sudden victory over Michigan State's Caleb Fish, who beat Facundo last season at the Southern Scuffle. Facundo and Fish, of Eaton Rapids, battled evenly throughout regulation, ending the seven minutes tied at one apiece. With less than a minute left in sudden victory, Fish took a shot at Facundo's left leg and the Penn State freshman countered with a duck-under for two and the victory with 44 seconds remaining. What made Facundo's victory over Fish even more impressive is that Sanderson said it wasn't in the plan for him to wrestle that match, and to instead take some time to "keep getting healthy." But, he said, Facundo wanted to go. "He had two big wins against two tough guys," Sanderson said. "So, I was really happy for him. Even today, this guy beat him last year at the Scuffle, and he had a history (with Amine). When you grow up in Michigan, you're going to wrestle a lot of Michigan guys. A lot of good wrestlers are coming out of Michigan. But yeah, he did a nice job. It was a good weekend for him."
  15. Diego Sotelo on the Midlands podium (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) We are getting into the juicy dual meet part of the season. This week’s highlights include American earning 3 one-point wins on Sunday to win the Chippewa Challenge, after going 0-3 at the same event a year ago. Binghamton’s Lou DePrez (#9 @ 197lbs) is officially out for the season and was added to the coaching staff. This was his last year of eligibility, so we may expect him to stick around for a few years. This is very unfortunate, as we had high hopes for Lou earning All-American honors. Speaking of coaching changes, Harvard added Uzbekistan’s Bekzod Abdurakhmonov to the staff as a volunteer assistant. He is currently ranked fourth in the world at 70kgs, already adding an Olympic bronze to his resume in Toyko. His brother, Muzaffar, is an assistant at Harvard. This week’s outstanding performance is Harvard’s 125lber, Diego Sotelo. He had a great weekend, knocking off a former NCAA Qualifier in Micah Roes of Binghamton. After that, he defeated #13 Brett Ungar of Cornell, who has been having a phenomenal year thus far. After these wins, plus splitting matches with Ryan Miller of Penn, he finds himself in the conversation for a top 3 finish at conferences. Congratulations to this week’s outstanding wrestler, Diego Sotelo! American The Eagles wrestled in the Chippewa Challenge, including duals against Central Michigan, Cal State Bakersfield, and Campbell. American walked away with the trophy, winning all three bouts by a single point. What a remarkable effort by the team to achieve this. Just a season ago, American wrestled the same three teams and won six total matches in 3 dual meets. The results this year are a complete 180, avenging each loss. We saw Max Leete go 2-1 on the day with another pin, his 10th on the season. Caleb Campos (165 lbs) has been 9-1 since the start of December. He went 3-0 on the weekend, including two majors. At 197 lbs, Connor Bourne went 2-0 in his two matches on the day. American used a bunch of other wrestlers to help keep the line-up fresh. It was a total team effort, in both the bouts won and lost. An example is when Devon Capato (149 lbs) chipped half his tooth and continued to wrestle. A forfeit would have been a loss for the team in these tightly contested bouts. Following a long day of wrestling, the Eagles will be off this weekend. Army The Black Knights were off this weekend. They have two conference home matches this week in Cornell and Bucknell. Binghamton The Bearcats defeated Harvard in EIWA action 19-13 at Harvard. Ivan Garcia (133 lbs) and Michael Zarif (149 lbs) each earned decision. Brevin Cassella (165 lbs) had a pivotal win over Joshua Kim. At 174 lbs, Sam DePrez earned a major in his return back to action, followed up by a decision by Jacob Nolan (#19 @ 184 lbs). Filling in at 197 lbs for the injured Lou DePrez, Dimitri Gamkrelidze earned the deciding overtime win to give Binghamton the team a win. This team has some big shoes to fill after Lou’s season-ending injury. We’ll see Hofstra at Binghamton on Thursday. Binghamton will travel to Navy on Sunday. Brown The Bears lost to the EIWA powerhouse Cornell 35-6 last weekend. In order to avoid the shutout, two Brown wrestlers had nice wins. Hunter Adrian (133 lbs) has been wrestling very well lately, beating Ethan Fernandez 4-2. His strong second-semester start is continuing. In overtime at 157 lbs, Sam McMonagle earned a win over Cole Handlovic. It’s good to see Sam up from 141 lbs a year ago having success in his new weight. This was a tough out for Brown, as Cornell is the cream of the crop in the conference. But, this week they’ll have three opportunities for some EIWA wins when they face off against Penn, Drexel, and Princeton Friday and Saturday. Bucknell The Bison hosted the Drexel Dragons on Sunday, dropping the dual 23-13. The match started at 285 lbs, where Dorian Crosby wrestled to a major decision. He has been on fire lately for Bucknell. The two ranked wrestlers Kurt Phipps (#22 @ 133 lbs) and Darren Miller (#20 @ 141 lbs) each earned a close decision to keep Bucknell in the lead. The last win came from Nolan Springer at 197 lbs. The young, inexperienced team wrestled well. As mentioned in the past, there are a ton of true freshmen in the starting lineup. They are wrestling tough, but the team will need some time to develop. I am excited for the future of this team. This upcoming week, they will face LIU, Rider, and Army in a weekend full of wrestling. Columbia Columbia split duals this weekend with their Ivy League foes, Princeton and Penn. They used three pins in Friday’s dual to defeat Princeton 27-13. Aaron Ayzerov had a pin over Nate Dugan at 184 lbs, Nick Babin (#26 @ 125 lbs) secured one, and finally, Matt Kazimir (#24 @ 141 lbs) earned a fall for the Lions. The other three wins came by a one-score decision for Columbia. Lennox Wolak (#33 @ 174 lbs) and Cesar Alvin (#26 @ 157 lbs) each won, while Danny Fongaro defeated returning NCAA qualifier, Marshall Keller. The Penn dual was a battle lost by the Lions, 25-9. Matt Kazimir beat Carmen Ferrante 1-0. Josh Ogunsanya (#17 @ 165 lbs) had an overtime win over #32 Lucas Revano. The big upset of the match came at 157 lbs when Alvan defeated #12 Anthony Artalona in overtime. This team’s improvement is on notice. Last year, they lost to an identical Princeton team 27-12. They’ve turned the tables this season. This weekend, they will have the perennial EIWA top dogs Lehigh and Cornell at home. Cornell The Big Red were on an Ivy League road trip, beating Brown 35-6 and Harvard 27-12. Battling some injuries, we saw Ethan Fernandez wrestle for Vito at 133 lbs. He went 1-1 on the day. Evan Canoyer was in at 174 lbs, earning two wins. At 285 lbs, Brendan Furman was 1-1 on the day filling in for the injured and ranked Lewis Fernandes. The usual suspects for Cornell had a typical (winning) day at the office – including Yianni (#1 @ 149 lbs), Cornella (#16 @ 141 lbs), Julian Ramirez (#7 @ 165lbs), and Jacob Cardenas (#17 @ 197 lbs). It was great to see Cornell’s returning All-American back at 184 lbs. Jon Loew earned two pins. This week, the Big Red will stay in state, but travel to Army and Columbia for EIWA duals. Drexel The Dragons defeated a young Bucknell team 23-13, winning six of ten matches. Freshman Gabe Giampietro started the match off at 125 lbs with a pin. He can still utilize his redshirt, as Antonio Mininno will be back from injury soon The Nichter brothers each won by decision over the Bower brothers of Bucknell – Luke (#27 @ 149 lbs) wrestled Braden Bower and Tate (157 lbs) defeated Riley Bower. Following up after was Evan Barczak (#18 @ 165 lbs) with a major. Cody Walsh was next up at 174 lbs, also earning a major. 25th-ranked Brian Bonino continued his winning ways with a 3-2 win. Sometimes, a close loss is not a bad thing to mention. Kyle Waterman (133 lbs) lost a tight 2-0 match to #22 Kurt Phipps. The same goes for freshman, Jordan Soriano at 141 lbs – losing 4-2 to #20 Darren Miller. This Saturday, the Dragons will host Brown for a dual. Franklin & Marshall Franklin and Marshall hosted Gettysburg College to a mid-week dual on Wednesday. They won 36-6, only losing two bouts. On Saturday, they split duals with LIU (29-11) and Hofstra (12-21). Mason Leiphart (125lbs) earned another tech fall on the day, also winning by decision. At 133lbs, Pat Phillips was 2-0 on the day. A gang of wrestlers were 1-1 on the day. John Crawford dropped a tough one to #31 Trey Rogers of Hofstra at 197 lbs. James Conway (184lbs) did have a pin on the day. We’ve mentioned the youth on this team. They will continue to improve. One thing you’ll notice about F&M wrestlers is their records. Most of the starters have over 30 matches this season and quickly approaching 40. This is much higher than the average across the nation. Getting the young team mat time will pay off in the end. This week’s meeting against Sacred Heart will be held at F&M on Sunday. Harvard The Crimson had two duals with Binghamton and Cornell. Losing both duals (19-13 to BU and 27-12 to Cornell), we saw some great performances. Diego Sotelo has been on a tear lately, as he defeated 2021 NCAA Qualifier Micah Roes of Binghamton and #13 Brett Ungar of Cornell. Also 2-0 on the day was Yara Slavikouski (#9 @ 285 lbs), including a win over #21 Cory Day of Binghamton. We saw two wrestlers win at 157 lbs – Evan Gleason had a win over Binghamton while Tarsi pinned previously ranked Colton Yapoujian of Cornell. With the emergence of Sotelo, this team has lots of talent. We haven’t seen 12th-ranked Conigliaro at 174 lbs in some time. Once he returns, this squad can make some noise at EIWAs in a tournament-scoring scenario. This weekend, they will be on the road at Princeton and Penn. Hofstra The Pride were victorious over the young, scrappy F&M team 21-12. They started in great position, winning the first four bouts by decision – starting with Ross McFarland at 174 lbs, #24 Jacob Ferreira at 184 lbs, Trey Rogers (#31 @ 197 lbs), and Zachary Knighton-Ward at heavyweight. Last year’s EIWA placer at 141 lbs, Justin Hoyle earned a win. Ending the match at 157 lbs and 165 lbs, Joe McGinty and Eric Shindel each won via decisions. Coach Papadatos has been very high on Shindel’s improvement. He’s done more winning than losing as of late. This team has a lot of talent up top. Once they start to click in March, expect to see a lot of Pride wrestlers on the podium at EIWAs. This week’s matches will be at Binghamton on Thursday and at Navy on Saturday. Lehigh Lehigh has been bitten by the injury bug, forcing them to utilize their depth and bump up wrestlers to higher weights to fill a competitive lineup. They came away with three wins in a 23-11 loss to Penn, but came back the next day beating Navy 21-16. Malyke Hines (#28 @ 141 lbs) had an impressive weekend with wins over Carmen Ferrante and EIWA runner-up Josh Koderhandt. Newly acquired Mountain Hawks Tate Samuelson (#20 @ 184 lbs) went 2-0 on the weekend, as did #3 at 197 lbs, Michael Beard – earning two tech falls. Manzona Bryant saw one match at 149 lbs, winning by decision. Carter Bailey (125 lbs) and Jake Logan (174 lbs) were each 1-1 on the weekend. If the forfeit at 133 lbs against Navy isn’t a sign of this team’s injury issues, I’m not sure what is. We have not seen #6 Conner McGonagle or Ryan Crookham at 133 lbs in a few weeks. Josh Humphreys (#4 @ 157 lbs) has been injured since the Christmas break. Once healed up, this team will be a threat to claim top honors in the conference. This weekend’s action includes an away dual at Columbia on Friday and a home meet with #19 Arizona State Saturday night. Long Island The Sharks had a single dual this weekend, hosting Franklin and Marshall. They lost the dual 29-11 but won three bouts in the event. They ended the dual strong with two majors from Drew Witham (149 lbs) and Rhise Royster (157 lbs). This was followed up by Blake Bahna at 165 lbs, earning a decision to close out the dual. Every week, the guys in the middle of this line-up seem to be on the up and up. It is hard to not give credit to new coach Jesse Dellavecchia, who was an NCAA finalist a few years back at 157lbs. The work is showing itself in the results. In another few years, a school like LIU will be right in the mix of the EIWA. With a rich history of wrestling right in its backyard, one would assume things will start to happen quickly. This weekend, you can find LIU at Bloomsburg with a dual against them and Bucknell. Navy The Midshipmen came out on the short end of a battle with Lehigh by a score of 21-16. The team’s first win came at 157 lbs where Andrew Cerniglia defeated Max Brignola (#26 @ 149 lbs). Val Park earned another win, defeating Luca Frinzi at 165 lbs. #20 at heavyweight, Grady Griess, beat Taylor (#31) by major decision. The final win came at 133 lbs, where Brenden Ferretti won by forfeit. This was a complex match-up for Navy, as their best aligned with Lehigh’s best. They saw David Key (#33 @ 184 lbs) lose to #19 Tate Samuelson and Jacob Koser (#30 @ 197 lbs) lose to 3rd-ranked Michael Beard. Koderhandt was off to a hot start, and hitting a bit of a slump lately. I am not concerned, as I’m confident he will be back for conferences – he was a runner-up last year at 133 lbs as a freshman. Coach Kolat and staff will have this team ready in no time! This weekend’s matchup will include conference home duals with Hofstra and Binghamton. Penn The Quakers posted two dominant victories over EIWA competition this weekend. Friday night’s victory over Lehigh was by a 23-11 score, and Columbia’s score ended up being 25-9. Ryan Miller (#28 @ 125lbs) used a pair of third-period rideouts to beat a tough Carter Bailey of Lehigh and #32-ranked Nick Babin of Columbia. At 133 lbs, Michael Colaiocco (#9) earned a major and fall during the weekend. Doug Zapf (#11 @ 149 lbs) defeated #26 Max Brignola of Lehigh and a tough Danny Fongaro of Columbia. At 174 lbs, #17 Nick Incontrera had a nice weekend with a win over NCAA QualifierJake Logan of Lehigh, followed by a major over #26 Lennox Wolak of Columbia. Last, and certainly not least, going 2-0 for Penn was Ben Goldin (#32 @ 285 lbs). Cole Spencer was in the lineup at 157 lbs for Penn on Friday night. He earned a reversal with short time to get the win for the home crowd. This team is primed and ready to make a repeat run at challenging Cornell for the top spot in the conference. This week’s challenge will include home duals against Brown and Harvard, in a battle of the Ivies. Princeton The Tigers were 0-2 on the weekend, for the first time in awhile. The 27-13 loss to an underrated Columbia team may have been a little surprising to most. The match against Rider came down to near-fall criteria, where Rider ended up winning – earning the point in the 19-18 victory. Quincy Monday was 2-0 on the weekend with a win over #17 Josh Ogunsanya of Columbia. Travis Stefanik was the man at 285 lbs, winning twice – including a win over David Szuba of Rider. The Tigers had Patrick Glory (#2 @ 125 lbs) up at 133 lbs, where he earned two decisions over great opponents. Luke Stout (#20 @ 197 lbs) was 1-1 on the weekend, dropping a match to #10 Ethan Laird of Rider. Nate Dugan (184 lbs) and Ty Whalen (157 lbs) each earned one win on the weekend. The Tigers are coming off an all-time high after an upset win over #10 Arizona State just to be sent back a little closer to Earth this weekend. Expect them to get back on track this weekend with duals at home against Harvard and Brown Friday and Saturday, respectively. Sacred Heart The Pioneers were off this past weekend. They travel to Lancaster, PA for a dual against F&M in an EIWA matchup.

At the duration of the match, there was a dead-even tie in matches won by both opponents, 5-5. The next category to win, Criteria B, is the total number of pins, forfeits, defaults and disqualifications, which totaled 0 for both teams. Moving on to Criteria C, total points scored, also came out to a tie at 66-66. It wasn’t until Criteria D, total number of near-fall points, that Rider would top the Tigers with 18 near-fall points. Quinn Kinner posted 14 total near-fall points for his team, while McKenzie Bell accounted for 4 of those. As previously stated, five Broncs netted victorious over their cross-town rival opponents. Tyler Klinsky won in sudden victory over Nick Kayal, 6-4. McKenzie Bell (141) won by a major decision of 10-1 over Sean Pierson.

  17. Cal Poly heavyweight Trevor Tinker (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Arizona State ends losing skid against Stanford Arizona State;s lineup is nearly back to full strength as Cohlton Schultz returned to the mat and Cael Valencia began to shock the wrestling world. Valencia helped the Sun Devils break a four-match losing skid with a 6-3 upset victory over Tyler Eischens. He picked up two takedowns, an escape and riding point. The lightweight continued their dominance as the Sun Devils swept the first four matches. Richard Figueroa earned a major decision over Nico Provo, Michael McGee earned his 25th tech fall over Jackson Disario, Jesse Vasquez won 10-4 over Jason Miranda and Kyle PArco won 10-2 over Jaden Abas. Schultz’s return was quick as he pinned Peter Ming in 56 seconds. Cal Poly snap a 10-match losing streak against ASU Arizona State’s lightweights gave the Sun Devils a 15-0 lead over Cal Poly. Parco was the only Sun Devil to pick up bonus points, pinning Tiger Ortiz in the second period. However, Arizona State threw out a couple new faces into the lineup and Cal Poly took advantage of it. The Mustangs won four of the last five matches, including Jarad Priest’s pin over Canyon Mansfield and Trevor Tinker’s major decision over David Palosika. Tinker’s 10-2 major gave the Mustangs the 19-18 edge on the scoreboard at the end of the dual. In the last four of five matches Cal Poly won, they outscored ASU 28-5. Little Rock fails to slow down Northern Colorado Northern Colorado has been one of the most surprising and dominating teams this season, holding a 10-2 record. Their latest win came over Little Rock 36-3. Six of the nine Bears’ victories were bonus point victories. On the other hand, Northern Colorado could not complete the sweep as Josiah Hill won 9-3 in the final match of the dual. Although it was a tough battle for Hill, a couple of late takedowns in the third period kept Xavier Doolin away from the shutout. Besides Hill’s victory, the most competitive bout for Little Rock took place at 165 lbs, where Tyler Brennan dropped a narrow 2-1 decision to Baylor Fernandes. Cal State Bakersfield battles at Chippewa Challenge CSUB won its first dual at the Chippewa Challenge, defeating Central Michigan 21-16. The teams split the dual with five wins each. However, Chance Rich won by major decision, Angelo Martinoni won by tech fall and Jacob Hansen won by fall in the third period. Central Michigan only got one bonus-point victory, Tracy Hubbard’s 10-2 major decision over Braden Smelser. Josh Brown and Albert Urias were the only two Roadrunners to win in the second dual. CSUB fell to Campbell 32-8. In the final dual, the Roadrunners won five matches again. Yet, the Roadrunners fell 16-15 to American. Eddies Flores picked up an upset over Maximillian Leete. However, Martinoni fell to Elijah White, wiping away a potential swing in points from an upset victory. All of CSUB’s victories came by decision. The only match that was not a decision was Caleb Campos 12-0 victory over Smelser, giving American the one-point advantage. Cal State Bakersfield will start Pac-12 play next week traveling to Oregon State.
  18. Purdue 125 lber Matt Ramos (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) The college wrestling season continues to chug along. I feel like it’s a good sign when every week “seems like a crazy week of action.” I wouldn’t necessarily classify the past few days as too out of the ordinary; however, we did see plenty of notable, newsworthy results. Among them, one of my favorite duals of the year (NC State/Virginia Tech), a top-ten clash between Penn State and Michigan, and Iowa getting more than they bargained for in Wisconsin. We’ve mentioned those duals in some form or fashion below, but some items we didn’t mention were Clarion over Lock Haven, Columbia over Princeton, Rider over Princeton, maybe some problems for Oklahoma State at 125 and a #3 going down at 157 lbs. Be sure to check out our conference recaps as they will be discussed in greater detail. Spencer Continues His Unreal Run Later in the week, InterMat will release an article on the Hodge Trophy race. It’s an important subject and it’s newsworthy, but at the same time, it might be a little anticlimactic. With the run Spencer Lee is on, it is making a mockery of the term “race.” As of now, it’s a one-match sprint to the finish. Iowa had two matches over the weekend and Lee was tasked with facing a pair of opponents ranked in the top six nationally. “Tasked” may not be the perfect word. For most wrestlers, facing two foes ranked so highly may be a daunting task, but it didn’t seem as if it phased Lee at all. For the full article, Subscribe to InterMat's Rokfin Page
  19. Lou DePrez at the 2023 Southern Scuffle (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) VESTAL, N.Y. - Binghamton wrestling announced that Lou DePrez will be added to the coaching staff effective immediately. DePrez will be an assistant coach for the Bearcats program for the rest of the 2022-23 season. He suffered a season ending injury in the finals at the Southern Scuffle on January 2. DePrez ends his sixth season with a 10-2 overall record and he is currently ranked No. 9 by InterMat at 197 pounds. DePrez is a two-time All-American and three-time EIWA champion, and he is also the all-time wins leader for Binghamton with 134 career victories. "Lou knows this program and the team members better than anyone in the country," said head coach Kyle Borshoff. "I'm looking forward to adding his expertise to the staff. After his injury at the Southern Scuffle, this is the best move we could make at this time, and I look forward to working with Lou in a new capacity." DePrez joins a coaching staff that also includes assistant coaches Fred Garcia and Phillip Barreiro.
  20. Virginia Tech All-American Bryce Andonian (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Opening night for the ACC did not disappoint. The Virginia Tech vs NC State dual got the national spotlight and they put on a show. North Carolina and Pitt both took lopsided wins on the road. We are off and running in conference competition; let’s take a look at how the weekend played out. #28 North Carolina at Duke North Carolina took on their Tobacco Road rival and left Cameron Indoor Stadium with a statement win. The Tar Heels won the first eight matches, including seven bonus-point victories to open ACC competition. One of the highlights of the evening was the return of Clay Lautt to the UNC lineup. Lautt has been out since the Appalachian State dual in mid-December. He returned to put on an offensive showcase, taking an 18-3 tech fall over Gaetano Console. Lautt’s season record moves to 6-2 for the season. Lautt will be favored in his next two matches before a top-10 showdown with Mekhi Lewis. It was a difficult evening for Duke, but they ended the dual with two big wins. Vince Baker edged Max Shaw at 197 to stretch his season record to 5-3; this was a quality win for Baker who has quietly started off strong for the Blue Devils; two of his three losses are to top-12 ranked wrestlers. Jonah Neisenbaum ended the night on a positive note for Duke, gritting out a hard-fought 3-1 sudden victory win over Brandon Whitman. The Tar Heels put on an offensive display after opening the dual with a forfeit win for Jack Wagner. Their lowest match point total on the evening was from Jace Palmer in a 7-6 decision over Logan Agin. The next six matches were bonus point victories for UNC. Lachlan McNeil dominated in a 17-2 tech fall over Jarred Papscy. Zach Sherman bounced back after a loss last week, gaining his first bonus point win of the year with a 12-1 major decision over Patrick Rowland. Austin O’Connor continued his undefeated season, adding his 11th bonus point victory with a first-period pin of Preston Decker. In the second half of the dual, Joey Mazzara continued the scoring spree with a 12-2 major decision over Gabe Dinette who was wrestling in his second match of the season. Following the return of Clay Lautt, Gavin Kane worked for the tech fall, but fell just short with an 18-5 major decision over Luke Chakonis to round out the wins for the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels will return to Carmichael Arena to host Virginia next Friday night while Duke will head across the triangle to face NC State. No. 28 North Carolina 37, Duke 6 125: No. 22 Jack Wagner by Forfeit 133: Jace Palmer over Logan Agin 7-6 Dec 141: No. 13 Lachlan McNeil over Jarred Papcsy 17-2 TF 149: No. 25 Zach Sherman over Patrick Rowland 12-1 MD 157: No. 4 Austin O'Connor over Preston Decker Fall 2:32 165: Joey Mazzara over Gabe Dinette 12-2 MD 174: No. 9 Clay Lautt over Gaetano Console 18-3 TF 184: No. 14 Gavin Kane over Luke Chakonis 18-5 MD 197: Vincent Baker over Max Shaw 3-2 Dec 285: No. 22 Jonah Nisenbaum over Brandon Whitman 3-1 SV Dec #24 Pittsburgh at Virginia The Panthers made the trip to Charlottesville to open ACC competition and left with a lopsided win over the Hoos. Pitt looked impressive from the first whistle and showed that they will be in contention for the ACC dual title. Virginia did not have the same pop that they did in their strong performance at the Virginia Duals and opened their home slate with a disappointing loss. The dual opened at 157 with Dazjon Casto picking up a 14-8 win over Jake Keating--Casto was able to break open the match with a six-point move at the end of the second period. This was a much-needed win for Casto, who has been inconsistent to this point and will be looking to steady his performance in ACC duals. Holden Heller followed that up with an upset win over Justin McCoy. The Panthers added their third-straight win to start the dual with a decision win from Luca Augustine at 174. The Hoos got on the board in one of the most anticipated matches of the dual. Neil Antrassian nabbed an upset win over Reece Heller. It was a very entertaining, back-and-forth match with some outstanding scrambles. 184 is one of, if not the toughest, weights in the ACC; it features five wrestlers in the top-20 and two in the top-10. It will be a very fun weight to watch and sort out over the next month. At 197, Nino Bonaccorsi earned a 7-4 decision over Michael Battista who was coming off two upset wins in Hampton. Battista was able to slow Nino down after giving up two takedowns in the first, but his late takedown in the third wasn’t enough to knock off the undefeated Bonaccorsi. Jake Slinger opened the second half of the dual with a 4-0 decision over Jessie Knight, who was back in his first bout returning from an injury at Midlands. Colton Camacho put on an impressive display in a 14-1 major decision over Patrick McCormick at 125. Micky Phillippi followed that up with a 7-3 win over Marlon Yarbrough. In another highly-anticipated matchup, Cole Matthews won a tight 4-1 decision over Brian Courtney in his fourth official match of the season. Jarod Verkleeren was able to end the night on a positive note for the Hoos, notching an upset win over Tyler Badgett. Verk picked up a takedown early in the first and never relinquished the lead--this was a good win for him returning to the lineup from an injury. While the Panthers took the win, I think the Hoos see a lot of results that they feel confident that they can flip. I’m looking forward to seeing how both teams respond to this dual. Pitt will look to continue their momentum as they head back to Virginia again next week to take on a top-10 Virginia Tech squad. The Hoos will look to bounce back and make the adjustments they need as they work to knock off the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill on Friday. No. 24 Pitt 25, Virginia 6 157: Dazjon Casto dec.

No. 29 Tyler Badgett 5-3 North Carolina State at Virginia Tech It is difficult to put into words how incredible this night was for ACC wrestling. Rivalry dual. Top-10 teams. 20 ranked wrestlers. Upsets. Sudden victory galore. The return of All-American Bryce Andonian in a top-10 showdown. Round six of Hidlay-Bolen. And to cap it off, the upset of a top-10 wrestler by a hometown kid is what iced the dual for the Hokies. This has become a must-watch matchup every year, and I am glad I was there to see the spectacle in person. The dual opened up with a sudden victory upset from Jarrett Trombley over Eddie Ventresca. While Ventresca was more offensive throughout the match, Trombley showed his counter-offense skills and both wrestlers were nearly able to finish takedowns in regular time. It was a wild sequence to end the match--Ventresca snagged a low single off the whistle and nearly had Trombley on his hind parts before he was able to catch a whizzer and hip over. While Ventresca fought into him, Trombley was able to hold him in danger for a three-count and the winning takedown. Sam Latona got the Hokies on the board with a 3-1 decision over Kai Orine. It was close on the scoreboard despite Latona getting in on several takedowns and getting Orine’s leg into the air. Orine showed some incredible body awareness and defensive skills to fight off Latona’s attempts. Ryan Jack took a 2-1 decision over Tom Crook on the strength of riding time. Crook narrowed the gap from CKLV where Jack won an 8-2 decision. In a battle of true freshman phenoms at 149, Caleb Henson was dominant in a 6-1 decision over Jackson Arrington. Henson got a takedown halfway through the first period and never looked back. They traded escapes and Henson added a second takedown and a rideout to end the match. This will be a fun series to watch over the next few years. #6 Bryce Andonian made his official debut for the season at 157 facing #7 Ed Scott in a match that reminded everyone why you can’t look away when either of these guys is wrestling. Andonian took an early shot and when Scott locked his upper body, Andonian tossed him to his back for 2 and 4 to open the match. On the restart, Andonian locked up a cradle and rolled through to pick up another four-count--but Scott was able to get to his feet and used a body lock and trip to take Andonian to his back for 2 and 4. This all happened in the first two minutes of the match--10-6 Andonian. On the restart, Scott loaded up a 2-on-1 and tried to roll through to tilt but Andonian was able to cast his hips over and catch Scott for another set of 2 and 4. 16-6 to end the first and the craziness wasn’t over. While he pushed to get the tech fall, Andonian added 8 more points through takedowns and escapes that Scott countered with two reversals to hold him to a 24-10 major decision. This whole match was beautiful chaos and incredibly entertaining to watch. I can’t wait until they match up again. At 165, true freshman Matty Singleton was able to counter a Connor Brady takedown in sudden victory to take a 5-3 decision. Following this match, the Wolfpack lost a team point due to Singleton “throwing” his headgear. While it is the rule, this is an obnoxious interpretation. He threw his headgear to his bench, he didn’t spike it, he wasn’t trying to show anyone up. He was excited and it cost his team a point; I’m very glad the dual didn’t come down to a single point. Mekhi Lewis was pushing for a major decision against Alex Faison, but ended with an 8-2 decision. In Hidlay-Bolen VI we saw the most points on the board that we have ever seen in this matchup. Bolen was able to slow Hidlay down early and keep him from scoring off his underhook. After a scoreless first, Bolen got a quick escape and then was able to get a takedown at the end of the second to take a 3-0 lead into the third. Hidlay got a quick escape and was pushing for a takedown to even it up. He was able to get to a body lock off a single leg and fight through Bolen’s whizzer to get the tying takedown with 20 seconds to go. In sudden victory, Hidlay got to the same position and again worked through Bolen’s defense to take the 5-3 decision and even the series 3-3. Going into the final two bouts, it was starting to look better for the Wolfpack and they were favored in both matches. At 197, Andy Smith was able to slow down the very dangerous Isaac Trumble and keep him from scoring on his feet. It was tied at one late in the third when Trumble got in deep on a shot. Smith showed some incredible defense and amazingly strong hips to not only stop the takedown, but break Trumble’s grip and get to his legs on a reshot and earn the winning takedown. Cassell Coliseum erupted when the Christiansburg-native pulled his second top-10 upset of the season; this made the team score 16-11 going into the final match, meaning the Wolfpack would need a pin from Owen Trephan to take the win. Catka and Trephan were very evenly matched and both were able to fight off takedown attempts--sending the bout into sudden victory for the fourth time on the night. Trephan countered a Catka shot in the extra frame to take the 3-1 decision but it wasn’t enough to get the win for the Wolfpack. The Hokies are now in the driver’s seat for the ACC dual title, but it is far from over. They will welcome a feisty Pitt team into Cassell Coliseum on Friday. NC State will look to bounce back at home when they host Duke. No. 8 Virginia Tech 16, No. 5 NC State 14 125: No. 29 Jarrett Trombley def. No. 20 Eddie Ventresca 3-1 dec. 133: No. 5 Sam Latona def.

  21. Oklahoma State All-American Dustin Plott (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Another week down in the Big 12. Let’s look at some of the highlights. Oklahoma State got two solid wins this weekend right before they head into the toughest stretch of their schedule coming up the next few weeks. The big storyline though is the absence of Trevor Mastrogiovanni. The Cowboys starting 125 did not wrestle on Friday or Sunday. Oklahoma defeated West Virginia on Friday night, but it wasn’t without some controversy. At 149, Sam Hillegas was forced to injury default out of his match after banging heads with Mitch Moore in a few separate exchanges. That ultimately was the difference in the dual that otherwise would have ended in a 15-15 tie. Hillegas didn’t wrestle on Sunday vs. Oklahoma State and WVU had to fly in a back up to replace him. Alirez and Carlson setting up for a big one next week? South Dakota State and Northern Colorado blew out their Sunday opponents Wyoming and Little Rock, respectively. This sets up what is potentially a really good dual next Friday in Greeley. Specifically at 141, where we should see Clay Carlson and Andrew Alirez battle for the fourth time in their career. Carlson leads the series 2-1.

  23. Tony Cassioppi (top) and Trent Hillger in the 2022 dual (photo courtesy of Mark Lundy; LutteLens) The Big Ten dual schedule is in full swing, and that means plenty of Friday and Sunday duals. Last night, No. 2 Iowa ran over No. 10 Nebraska, while No. 18 Wisconsin coasted past Purdue. The recovery time will be limited for both squads as they meet on Sunday in Madison. The following is a weight-by-weight preview of the match. 125: No. 1 Spencer Lee (Iowa) vs. No. 6 Eric Barnett (Wisconsin) The competition ticked up for the three-time NCAA champion recently, but the results remained basically the same. Lee surrendered a pair of takedowns and eight back points against No. 10 Matt Ramos (Purdue) but stormed back for the fall. He then faced off against No. 4 Michael DeAugustino (Northwestern) and finished with yet another first-period fall. On the season, Lee is undefeated through nine matches with six falls and all his wins coming with bonus points. Barnett rebounded from an early season sudden-victory defeat against Kysen Terukina (Iowa State). After the loss, he went on a 12-match winning streak and won the Midlands tournament. The stretch included an impressive win over No. 7 Brandon Courtney (Arizona State). However, his momentum was stopped last weekend against No. 23 Jack Medley (Michigan) where he dropped a 12-6 decision. Barnett lost last night to No. 10 Matt Ramos (Purdue), as well. The question with Lee will always be how he holds up in a longer match against top competition. Unfortunately for his opponents, he is still a prodigious scorer, and he has no issues putting people away early. Somewhat surprisingly Barnett and Lee have never faced off in college before. If Barnett can slow it down early, he will have a chance to make some late noise, but that is a big if. Prediction: For the full article, Subscribe to InterMat's Rokfin Page

  25. Mason Parris (left) and Greg Kerkvliet at their 2022 dual meet (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com) Tonight, we have a great schedule of duals on tap! While you’re getting ready to try and pay attention to all 21 duals, we’ve put together a list of one bout per dual to pay a little more attention to. Whether it’s a matchup between highly-ranked wrestlers, two top conference contenders, or another in a long series of bouts between two familiar opponents, there’s some reason to watch. Friday’s Duals Blair Orr (The Citadel) vs. Drew West (Gardner-Webb) 125: There’s a clear-cut top-two in the SoCon at this weight. Both are veterans that are capable of threatening and perhaps stealing an NCAA spot from the current leaders. #16 Brayton Lee (Minnesota) vs. #19 Derek Gilcher (Indiana) 157: On one hand we have a guy that’s coming off a season-ending injury in 2021-22 (Lee) and has had a rough go of things thus far. The other features one of the conference’s breakout wrestlers (Gilcher) who is surging and a winner of 10 of the last 11. For the full article, Subscribe to InterMat's Rokfin Page
