CLARION, Pa. -- The Old Dominion wrestling team (6-8, 4-2 MAC) wrapped up its weekend trip to Pennsylvania with a 25-9 win over Clarion (8-5, 5-3 MAC) on Sunday afternoon. Junior 285-pounder Will Hilliard capped off the Monarch victory with a ranked win, taking down No. 27 Ty Bagoly in a 9-3 win by decision in the final bout of the dual. Hilliard jumped ahead of the ranked Golden Eagle early with a takedown and a four-point near-fall less than 30 seconds into the match, giving him a 6-0 advantage. The heavyweight Monarch registered another takedown in the period to hold an 8-1 lead after one frame. Hilliard managed to hang on to his lead, allowing just two more points to Bagoly, to give him his first ranked victory of the season. "We wrestled well today against a tough Clarion team," head coach Steve Martin said after the Monarch win. "The highlight of the day was Hilliard's victory over a nationally-ranked opponent." To start the dual, the Monarchs jumped out to an early 10-0 lead after three bouts, as No. 18 Killian Cardinale, Shannon Hanna II and No. 18 Sa'Derian Perry each earned victories at 125 pounds, 133 pounds and 141 pounds, respectively. Cardinale earned bonus points in his win over Cam Butler, taking a 14-5 win by major decision in the first match of the day. Hanna managed to earn a 5-1 win by decision, earning all five of his points in the third period against Clarion's Jake Gromacki. Perry defeated Brayden Palmer in a 7-1 decision, only allowing an escape point in the third frame of the bout and tallying two minutes and 45 second worth of riding time. At 149 pounds, No. 10 Brock Zacherl got Clarion on the board with a 5-2 win by decision over Kenan Carter, but in the very next bout, No. 14 Larry Early pinned Avery Shay after four minutes and 46 second of action in the 157-pound battle. The pin, Early's second of the season, gave the Monarchs a 13-point lead over the Golden Eagles. After intermission, Shane Jones took a 3-2 lead with a takedown of Mike Bartolo with four seconds remaining in the first period, and never looked back. The senior 165-pounder earned three more points to earn a 6-3 win by decision. At 174 pounds, Max Wohlabaugh managed to get the better of Freshman Alex Cramer, 12-6, bringing the overall score to 19-6. In the 184-pound bout, Antonio Agee earned two takedowns, a reversal and a riding time point to earn an 8-5 win by decision over Christian Sequete, clinching the conference-dual victory for the Monarchs. At 197 pounds, Timothy Young was tasked with facing No. 15 Greg Bulsak. The top-15 wrestler earned a 15-2 major decision victory over the Monarch senior for Clarion's only bonus points of the match. After the Hilliard victory at 285 pounds, the Golden Eagles were docked a point due to an unsportsmanlike penalty, bringing the final score to 25-9. In total, the Monarchs held a 16-12 takedown advantage and earned 14 escape points in the dual. "Cardinale, Hanna, Perry, Early, Jones and Agee all went 2-0 in our two matches this weekend and had consistent performances," Martin said of his wrestlers after an impressive weekend. Up Next After winning their two Mid-American conference (MAC) matches in Pennsylvania against Edinboro and Clarion this weekend, the Monarchs return home next week to take on Virginia Tech on Sunday, February 2 at 1 p.m. The Hokies are currently ranked No. 3 in the nation, according to the National Wrestling Coaching Association (NWCA).

Logan Treaster (Jr / Newton, Kan.), Casey Cobb (Jr / Kuna, Idaho), Cody Trybus (Jr / Elkton, Md.), Jacob Koser (Fr / Dillsburg, Pa.) and John Birchmeier (Fr / Ashburn, Va.) each won individual titles to lead the Navy wrestling team to the 2020 All-Academy Championship crown Saturday at East Gym in Colorado Springs, Colo. It marked the Mids' 16th overall All-Academy Championship victory and their third in a row. Trailing 114.5-108.0 with two matches remaining, Navy rallied behind the efforts of Koser and Birchmeier. Koser, who not only went 3-0 on the day, but he did not give up a point, got the Mids to within two points following his 16-0 tech fall over VMI's Zach Brown in the 197-pound title match. Birchmeier, who has twice secured dual victories for the Mids this season (Maryland and Bucknell), sealed the team victory by way of his 10-4 win over Air Force's Kayne Hutchison in the final match of the evening. Navy (117.5) won the team crown by ONE point over second-place Air Force (116.5), who had three wrestlers win individual titles. VMI placed third (48.0), followed by Coast Guard (47.5), The Citadel (34.0), Merchant Marine (18.5) and Norwich (12.5). VMI and Coast Guard both crowned an individual champion. Koser was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler, while Treaster was the recipient of the Most Pins in Fewest Amount of Time Award with two in 2:15. "I am very proud of the team and its performance today. The character and resiliency our wrestlers showed bout after bout in tonight's medal matches was incredibly impressive," said sixth-year Navy head coach Joel Sharratt. "The team came together and knew we had only seven in the finals, but five of those where important head-to-head bouts. Starting out with three strong wins really set a great tone for the big guys to follow. It took all 10 guys to get today's title and many of the names out there today weren't familiar to our casual fans. We really had the NEXT MAN UP guys step in and perfrom well for the team and overall team score." The Highlights • Navy has been the dominant team, winning 16 of the 26 championships including 13 of the last 17. • The Mids have won 103 individual crowns in All-Academy Championship history, including 77 of the 170 titles over the last 17 years. • The Mids won the team title in 1995, `97, `99, `04, `05, `06, `07, `09, '10, '11, '12, '13, '14, '18,'19 and '20, while they claimed five or more individual titles in 1997, `99, `04, `05, `07, `08, '10, '11, '13, '17, '18, '19 and '20. • Four of the five Mids who claimed individual titles were first-time All-Academy Championship winners - Logan Treaster (125), Cody Trybus (141), Jacob Koser (197) and John Birchmeier (285). • Junior Casey Cobb (133) earned his second All-Academy Championship in as many appearances. He is the 24th Navy wrestler to win at least two All-Academy Championship titles. • It was the first appearance at the All-Academy Championship for six Navy wrestlers - Logan Treaster (125), Wyatt Long (149), Jack Stanton-Taddeo (157), Andrew Buckley (184), Jacob Koser (197) and John Birchmeier (285). • Jacob Koser (197) and John Birchmeier (285) are just the 10th and 11th freshmen in Navy history to win an individual title at the All-Academy Championship and the first since Jared Prince in 2017. It's the first time Navy has had two freshmen win in the same year. It's also the first time a Navy freshman has won at the two heaviest weights. • A remarkable 13 of the 25 individual victories by Navy today were bonus-point matches. Jacob Koser (197) earned bonus points for all three of his victories - one by fall and two by tech fall. More from Coach Sharratt • Cobb (133) and Trybus (141) are finding their stride at the right time and they make an impressive start to every competition. I felt like the All-Academies was a great showcase of their talent tonight. • Koser (197) being named the Outstanding Wrestler of the All-Academy Championship is a testament to the competitor he is on the mat every time he steps out there. He continues to improve each week and that's being recognized in results and national spotlight. • Treaster also had an impressive performance with dominating victories to the finals and a battle against two of the highest ranked wrestlers in the field. • Birchmeier opened up and was extremely driven to put points on the board to seal the team victory. His roll through cradle and strong position leg attacks combined with his agility make him a big threat in competition. What's Ahead • Navy returns to dual action next weekend when it faces EIWA foes American and Drexel on back-to-back days. • The Mids travel to Washington, D.C. on Friday, Feb. 31 to battle American (7:00 pm) and then make the trip on Saturday to Philadelphia, Pa. for a 4:00 pm match at Drexel. • Navy will also send a handful of wrestlers to compete at the Edinboro Open on Saturday, Feb. 1 (9:00 am).

Quotes & Notes "It's a great class. When you have that many kids in your senior class, you're doing something right in your program. Eight kids out of that – and hopefully we get two of them back next year with an extra year with Jesse and with Pete – but it speaks to the volume of those kids. That they've bought into the program, that they've put the program on their back, that they've done all the right things for the longest time and they've contributed to make this program as successful as it's been, credit to them. It's always hard to lose senior leadership of that nature. But hopefully they pass their lessons on to the younger kids and, as it's their turn, they are ready to duplicate the success and demeanor of captains and seniors." – Rider Head Coach John Hangey - With the win, the Broncs now lead the all-time series with George Mason, 17-1, including wins in each of the last 11 duals. - Prior to the match, the Broncs honored their eight-member senior class, consisting of Dellavecchia, Dinmore, Sherry, Cloud, Lipari, Anthony Cefolo (Florham Park, NJ/Hanover Park Regional [South Dakota State]), Gino Fluri (Blairstown, NJ/North Warren Regional) and Jim Brady (Egg Harbor City, NJ/St. Augustine Prep). - Rider returns to action on Friday, Feb. 7, when it travel to Lock Haven and the Thomas Fieldhouse for a dual set to begin at 7 p.m. Results: 157: #4 Jesse Dellavecchia (RID) dec.

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- No. 24 Mizzou Wrestling claimed its ninth consecutive conference championship after defeating Cleveland State, 20-12, Saturday afternoon (Jan. 25) in the second of a dual doubleheader at the Hearnes Center. The Tigers are now 10-5 on the season and a perfect 7-0 in MAC competition.

"It's nice that we keep doing that stuff. It's something that we expect to happen, we are going out there and competing. It's good because it gets media to write about it. It's fun to see that for the kids, but we just need to keep working. We've won a couple matches in a row – I want to see us keep improving and getting better." Mizzou's streak of conference championships began with a tournament title at the 2012 Big 12 Championships during the school's final year in the league. Since joining the MAC, the Tigers have won the last eight championships. The MAC Tournament will be held March 7-8 in Dekalb, Ill.

DURHAM, N.C. -- The 10th-ranked University of Pittsburgh wrestling team recorded its second shutout of the season in dominant fashion Saturday morning. The Panthers downed the Duke Blue Devils, 50-0, at Card Gymnasium in the ACC opener. With the win, Pitt improves to 6-2 on the year, while the Blue Devils drop to 0-11. Today's 50-point win was the first since 2015 when the Panthers defeated Clarion 51-0. Prior to that, Pitt defeated Millersville, 53-0, in 2010. "We did what we were supposed to do today and that's good," said head coach Keith Gavin. "Now we have a quick turnaround and need to be ready to compete hard again tomorrow." Pitt opened the dual with a 6-0 lead after Duke forfeited 125 pounds. Moving to 133 pounds, redshirt sophomore Micky Phillippi pinned Harrison Campbell in 4:01 for his 17th win of the year. The fall was his second consecutive in duals as he pinned Reece Witcraft last weekend at Oklahoma State. The Blue Devils then forfeited 141 and 149 pounds to give the Panthers a 24-0 lead in the dual. Redshirt senior Taleb Rahmani returned to the win column this morning as he pinned Eric Carter in 4:04 for his 10th win of the year. At 165 pounds, sophomore Hunter Kernan made his dual debut and recorded a 10-3 decision over Wyatt Pfua to give Pitt a 33-0 lead. 174 pounds featured two ranked wrestlers in No. 24 Gregg Harvey and No. 26 Mason Eaglin from Duke. Harvey picked up his 12th win of the year as he won in a 15-6 major decision. Redshirt sophomore Nino Bonaccorsi picked up his 15th win of the year after pinning Kai Blake at 184 pounds. The fall was Bonaccorsi's first of the season and boosted the Panthers to a 43-0 lead. At 197 pounds, redshirt senior Kellan Stout shutout Vincent Baker, 14-0, for a major decision. Junior Cole Rickert completed the shutout as he defeated Jonah Niesenbaum at heavyweight, 3-1.

Augsburg's Emily Shilson gets her hand raised after getting a technical fall (Photo/David Peterson, Minnesota/USA Wrestling) The National Collegiate Athletic Association has approved Full Emerging Sports status for women's wrestling for NCAA Division II and Division III, in a vote of members in Anaheim, Calif. Saturday. The organization Wrestle Like A Girl posted this message on Twitter Saturday afternoon: "Today is a very monumental day in the history of women's collegiate wrestling," said Julia Salata, Wrestle Like A Girl's Collegiate Initiative Programs Manager. "Opportunities continue to expand and this is another step in the right direction. We've had an excellent group of stakeholders, administrators, and personnel who have worked hard to make this possible and will continue to help us move forward to full championship status." Mike Moyer, Executive Director of the National Wrestling Coaches Association, summed up the significance of today's NCAA vote by saying, "Today is a great day for women's wrestling, and all of wrestling." Lisa Goddard McGuirk, Chair of the Women's Wrestling Executive Committee -- and Gannon University Athletic Director -- said that today's NCAA vote "will afford additional opportunities for female student-athletes to pursue their academic and athletic passions at the college level." Last summer, the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics voted to recommend that all three divisions of NCAA governance structure add women's wrestling as an emerging sport effective August 1, 2020. Today's vote regarding NCAA Divisions II and III is the result of that vote six months ago. A similar vote regarding NCAA Division I taking women's collegiate wrestling to Full Emerging Sports status is planned for this April. What's next for women's wrestling in NCAA Division II and III? Now, thanks to Full Emerging Sports status, both D2 and D3 must each have 40 women's intercollegiate wrestling programs to reach championship status. According to Wrestle Like A Girl, there are a total of 22 Division II and III programs, with an additional 11 programs announced for the 2020-21 season, for a total of 33 programs at Division II and Division III schools. Once there are 40 women's programs in each of these divisions, the NCAA would need to maintain championship status for one full year to receive an official NCAA Women's Wrestling Championship.

Spencer Lee won by technical fall at 125 pounds (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Spencer Lee and Austin DeSanto ran out of intermission with consecutive technical falls to send the top-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team past No. 4 Ohio State, 24-10, on Friday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Lee dominated from start to finish, turning a first-period takedown into 16 nearfall points and using just two minutes, 32 seconds of the first period win 18-0 at 125 pounds. DeSanto gave pause to his 133-pound match, surrendering a takedown in the first seven seconds of the first period. But he quickly escaped and turned the next five minutes, 37 seconds into a DeSanto highlight real -- three takedowns in the first, five in the second, and four more in the third. His 12th and final takedown terminated the match, 27-12. "He is awesome. I told him that is how it's done," said Iowa coach Tom Brands. "You want a definition of how to wrestled a dominating wrestling match. That is how it's done. Twenty-seven points." "From last week to this week I'm more focused. Leaner, meaner, hungry like a wolf," DeSanto said. "I am ready to go. I've got to move my feet off the whistle; you guys saw that. Coming out too rushed. I have to be looser, hands down, be ready." The consecutive wins extended Iowa's halftime lead from 11-3 to 21-3. The dual started at 165 pounds, and Iowa opened with decisions from Alex Marinelli, Michael Kemerer, and Abe Assad. Marinelli used six takedowns to win, 14-10, at 165. Kemerer used two takedowns and two minutes, 50 seconds of riding time to earn a top 10 win at 174. Assad put the 13th largest crowd in Carver history (13,405) on its feet with a deciding takedown in the final minute of 184. Tony Cassioppi claimed a 9-3 win at 285 pounds (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) Ohio State got on the board with a decision at 197, but Tony Cassioppi put momentum back in the Hawkeyes' favor with a 9-3 win at 285. He led 4-1 after one, 5-1 after two, and used a four-point move in the third to nearly end the bout with bonus points. "I have always wanted to wrestle like a smaller guy. Move my feet, score points like guys like DeSanto," Cassioppi said. "I need a little more DeSanto in my wrestling in that third period to get that major. That is something I learned today." Iowa won seven-of-10 bouts overall and held a 27-11 advantage in takedowns. The Hawkeyes are now 5-0 in the Big Ten and have won 44-of-50 matches in those five wins. "Every dual is a statement dual for our team," Lee said. "We are just going out there and wrestling our hardest, proving that we can be the best in the country. Right now, we are. We just have to keep it going. We haven't won nationals yet, have we? We have to keep it going every week, do our best to improve, and be ready for the big show when it comes in March." Ohio State picked up wins at 141 and 149 in the second half, but Kaleb Young ended things with a 4-1 win at 157 pounds. Iowa's 14-point margin of victory was its largest in the series since defeating the Buckeyes, 33-3, in 2011. It was Iowa's largest margin against a top-five team since defeating No. 5 Cornell, 24-8, in 2015. UP NEXT Iowa hosts No. 2 Penn State on Friday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. (CT) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. NOTABLES Iowa wrestlers have a combined record of 44-6 in Big Ten duals, and 69-11 in overall duals this season. Spencer Lee (18-0), Austin DeSanto (12-0), Alex Marinelli (22-0), Abe Assad (4-0), and Tony Cassioppi (5-0) are undefeated in their careers in Big Ten duals. Spencer Lee improved to 10-0 with 10 bonus-point wins. He has won his last five matches by technical fall, outscoring his opponents 84-1. Spencer Lee improved to 15-0 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The 27 points scored by Austin DeSanto are a career high. He scored 26 points two times as a freshman at Drexel. He has scored 20 points or more 20 times in his career. Carter Happel made his first appearance at Carver-Hawkeye Arena since defeating Purdue's Parker Filius, 2-0, on Nov. 24, 2018, at 149 pounds. Happel's last 141-pound appearance at Carver was Fe. 2, 2018, when he pinned No. 10 Tommy Thorn of Minnesota in 6:58. Alex Marinelli improved to 14-0 overall and 15-0 all-time at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. He has a career dual record of 38-0 and a Big Ten dual record of 22-0.

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Junior/sophomore Jack Medley used a third-period takedown to knock off sixth-ranked Michael DeAugustino and clinch the No. 25-ranked University of Michigan wrestling team's 20-17 win against No. 15 Northwestern on Friday night (Jan. 24) at the Wildcats' Welsh-Ryan Arena. It was the Wolverines' second straight win over a ranked opponent; U-M improved to 4-0 in Big Ten Conference duals. Medley avenged an earlier-season loss to DeAugustino with a 3-2 decision in the dual's final bout at 125 pounds. After a scoreless first period and Northwestern escape in the second, Medley evened the score with an escape of his own in the third and immediately came around to convert on a head-in-the-hole takedown to take the lead. Northwestern challenged, and the one-and-two call was confirmed. DeAugustino escaped to narrow the margin, but Medley stalemated a couple late flurries to hang on for the win. It was Medley's best collegiate win to date -- and his third over a ranked opponent this season. He previously fell to DeAugustino, 12-5, in the quarterfinals at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational (Dec. 6-7). The Wolverines earned bonus points in each of their other four wins, including three straight major decisions to open the dual, to provide the difference in the 5-5 match split. Fifth-year senior Austin Assad, freshman Cole Mattin and senior/junior Kanen Storr were dominant at 133, 141 and 149 pounds, respectively, to give Michigan an early and sizable lead. Assad set the tone with a 10-0 major decision against Dylan Utterback in the opening bout for his first dual win of the season, scoring on single-leg takedowns in the first and third frames while adding a four-point suck back and rideout -- he finished with 3:54 advantage time -- in the second. Mattin took advantage of several wild scrambles to score five takedowns en route to an 11-3 major decision against Alec McKenna at 141 pounds. With the bonus point in sight, the Wolverine freshman earned three takedowns in the third and accumulated 4:06 in riding-time advantage. Storr, ranked ninth nationally at 149 pounds, followed suit with eight takedowns and a 17-6 major decision against Eric Yang. Storr scored in a variety of ways -- a pair of first-period single legs, two snap downs and two doubles in the second, and two more singles in the third -- and earned 2:46 in riding-time advantage. Storr, who came out of his Olympic redshirt in late December, improved to 4-0 in duals. Sophomore heavyweight Mason Parris, ranked second nationally, picked up the Wolverines' most dominant win of the night with a 20-5 technical fall against Jack Heyob, scoring five takedowns -- all in the first period -- as well as a reversal and a four-point leg turk in the second to end the bout in 5:55. Parris improved to 20-0 on the season, with bonus points in 13 of his 20 wins. Michigan dropped a pair of 4-1 decisions against the Wildcats' other ranked wrestlers in the lineup. Sophomore/freshman Will Lewan, ranked 12th at 157 pounds, fell to top-ranked Ryan Deakin on a first-period takedown and 3:08 riding-time advantage. Fifth-year senior Jackson Striggow similarly fell to 18th-ranked Lucas Davison on a late second-period takedown on the edge -- challenged by Michigan but upheld -- and 1:08 riding-time advantage. The Wolverines will wrap their road trip in Champaign, Illinois, on Sunday (Jan. 26) when they will take on Illinois at 1 p.m. CST at Huff Hall. Results: 133 -- Austin Assad (U-M) major dec.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -- It was a banner night on the mat for the Wyoming wrestling team as the Pokes finally got the chance to wrestle in a home dual Friday night and the Cowboys treated the Laramie faithful to quite the show in a 34-3 victory over CSU Bakersfield. Wyoming (5-7) recorded five bonus-point victories on the night, four major decisions and one pin, while winning 9-of-10 bouts against the Roadrunners (2-4). Hayden Hastings, at 174 pounds, got the fall for the Cowboys while Tate Samuelson (184), Stephen Buchanan (197), Brian Andrews (HWT) and Trevor Jeffries (141) all picked up major decision victories. Cole Moody got the dual started at 165 pounds and come up big late in his 4-2 win over Jacob Thalin. Moody scored a reversal with four seconds left in the first period to tie the match at 2-2 and then got an escape in the second to go in front 3-2 before riding Thalin out the entire third period to pick up the riding time bonus and the win. Next, at 174, Hastings pinned Albert Urias in just 1:51. It was Hastings' seventh fall of the season and second in his last three matches and gave the Cowboys a 9-0 lead after two bouts. "It was awesome," said Hastings after the dual. "Wrestling in front of the home crowd, we've been hyping this up for a while now and the turnout was great, the fans are amazing. I like to come out and put on a performance and get the crowd into it. Tonight I didn't mind wrestling second and getting out and going and then sitting back and watch my teammates." Samuelson made it 13-0 UW after his 13-4 major over Josh Loomer. Samuelson recorded five takedowns in the win and scored seven points in the final 1:11 of the third period to lengthen his lead from 6-2 to 13-4 in order to pick up the bonus-point win. Buchanan kept the train rolling with a 14-6 win over CSUB's Dominic Ducharme. Buchanan also got to work late in his match, scoring nine points in the third period alone to earn the major, including registering two takedown in the final 13 seconds. Buchanan also scored five points in the second period and led 5-1 going into the final period. Andrews got the fourth consecutive bonus-point win for the Pokes as he bested Jarrod Snyder 13-3. Andrews did his damage with a pair of four-point nearfalls in the first period and led 10-0 after one. From there, Andrews recorded a pair of third period escapes and then earned the riding time bonus, putting the Pokes up 21-0 as a team. Jake Svihel was able to outlast Alex Hernandez-Figueroa at 125 pounds, winning 8-6. Svihel took a 4-2 lead into the second period, thanks to a pair of first period takedowns. After scoring three more points in the second, Svihel earned an escape with 1:24 left in the third to take an 8-4 lead before surrendering a late takedown. At 133, Montorie Bridges won his eighth consecutive match and 14th out of his last 15 bouts, as he defeated Chance Rich, 7-4. Bridges controlled much of the match, taking a 2-1 lead into the second period. In the second, Bridges got an escape just five seconds into the period and then a takedown late to go up 5-1. In the third, Rich made things interesting with an escape and takedown before Bridges was able to get back to neutral with 26 seconds left and hang on for the riding time bonus. Jeffries' 13-2 win at 141 was the final bonus-point victory of the night for the Cowboys as he bested Angelo Martinoni. Jeffries got to work early, scoring a takedown, a reversal and a four-point nearfall in the first to grab an 8-2 lead. After reversing Martinoni in the second, Jeffries finished him off with a takedown in the third and rode him out the rest of the way, tallying a ride time of 3:43 in the win. Dewey Krueger ended the evening at 157, following up UW's lone loss of the evening with a 5-2 decision over the Roadrunners' Wyatt Gerl. Krueger led most of the match, taking a 2-0 lead via takedown just 28 seconds into the matchup. After a three-point second period, Krueger was able to hang on despite a third period takedown by Gerl, capping off the night for the Pokes. "It was really good to be home, it was a great crowd tonight with a lot of energy," said Head Coach Mark Branch. "I thought our guys came out tonight, especially early and set the tone for our team performance. We had some really strong performances, a lot of bonus points early on which gave us a little breathing room. We put a lot on our guys' shoulders when we're at home. We've got a home crowd we tell them it's their duty to go out and entertain the crowd, not just win, but entertain them," continued Branch. The Cowboys look to continue their momentum later this weekend as they host Utah Valley Sunday at 2 p.m., in Green River in the Outreach Match held at Green River High School.

OREM, Utah -- Four bonus-point victories propelled No. 16 Stanford to a 25-19 road win over Utah Valley, Friday, in front of 1,011 fans at Lockhart Arena. Stanford (8-1) and Utah Valley (1-7) each won five bouts, but the Cardinal registered a pair of falls and technical falls to come out on top. Beginning at heavyweight, Utah Valley's Chase Trussell turned in a 4-1 decision over redshirt senior Trevor Rasmussen to give the Wolverines the early 3-0 lead. Stanford freshman Jackson DiSario, the reigning Pac-12 Wrestler of the Week, gave the Cardinal the lead with a fall in 4:36 over Will Edelblute at 125 pounds. It was the sixth fall of the year for the McDonough, Georgia, native, who moves to 17-5 overall and 7-1 in duals. The Wolverines moved back in front momentarily (9-6) after the Cardinal had to forfeit at 133 pounds. Redshirt freshman Real Woods then registered a 16-1 technical fall in 4:40 over Isaiah Delgado at 141 pounds. Ranked No. 4 nationally, Woods led 6-1 after the first. Delgado chose neutral to start the second, giving Woods the opportunity to score. He quickly secured another takedown and was able to turn Delgado for a pair of four near fall calls. Woods moves to 13-1 overall and 4-1 in duals this season. Utah Valley earned the win at 149 pounds, giving it a 12-11 advantage in the team score. Stanford answered as redshirt freshman Tyler Eischens posted his second technical fall of the year, 18-0 (4:02) over Jerry Rubio at 157 pounds. Eisched led 12-0 after the first and Rubio went neutral to begin the second. Eischens scored another takedown and added four near fall points to improve to 18-6 and 6-2 in duals. Redshirt freshman Shane Griffith, who is ranked seventh nationally at 165 pounds, earned a second-period fall over Grant La Mont to extend the team score to 22-12 in favor of the Cardinal. Griffith (21-0) remains undefeated on the season and is tied for the sixth-longest winning streak in program history. The dual came down to 197 pounds, where redshirt junior Nathan Traxler held on to defeat Tanner Orndorff, 10-8. Traxler, who was back in action for the first time since the Southern Scuffle, had a 7-1 lead going into the final period. Orndorff earned an escape to start the third and put his foot on the gas pedal, taking down Traxler three times before time expired. Ranked fifth in the nation, Traxler moves to 16-2 overall and 5-1 in duals. Stanford will resume Pac-12 action next week, traveling to No. 6 Arizona State on Friday, Jan. 31.

Van Maanen, a redshirt sophomore from La Crosse, Wis., recorded his fourth pin and seventh win since the start of the New Year at 1:27 over Oklahoma's Jacob Butler. He helped to put the Bison ahead 6-3. Van Maanen improved to 8-10 overall and 2-5 in duals. Jared Franek picked up his fourth win over a nationally-ranked opponent this season with a 3-1 white-knuckler win over No. 16-ranked Justin Thomas. Franek gained an important takedown in the waning seconds of the first period and third period escape to push his record to 17-6 overall and 5-2 in duals. North Dakota State's No. 9-ranked 165 Andrew Fogarty extended the lead to 15-3 with his fifth fall of the season at 3:32. Fogarty saw his first action since the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, and improved to 13-2 overall and 6-0 in duals. Oklahoma (3-3, 1-2 #Big12WR) quickly cut the deficit to 15-9 in the next bout when No. 15-ranked 174 Anthony Mantanona recorded a pin at 4:04, and then bolted out of the intermission to knot the dual at 15-all with wins from 184 Darrien Roberts and No. 12 197-pounder Jake Woodley. However, NDSU responded with a pair of tough-minded decisions from No. 27-ranked heavyweight Brandon Metz and 125-pounder McGwire Midkiff to break the deadlock. Following a scoreless first period, Metz (17-5, 5-1) picked up an early escape in the second and deciding takedown in the third to outlast Josiah Jones 3-2. It was the same script at 125 pounds. Following a scoreless first period, Midkiff kept the top position for the entire second period and then recorded an escape 23-seconds in the third. His 1-minute, 37-seconds of riding time led to a 2-0 decision over Christian Moody. Midkiff improved to 7-3 overall and 2-1 in duals. NDSU No. 10-ranked 133-pounder Cam Sykora jumped out to an early lead in a 6-4 decision to close out the dual. Sykora stands at 8-3 overall, 4-2 in duals.

The Cleveland State University wrestling team jumped out to an early lead and won a few key matches down the stretch to claim a 21-14 win over SIU Edwardsville in Mid-American Conference action Friday evening inside First Community Arena at the Vadalabene Center. CSU won the first three bouts to open up a 10-0 lead. However, Cleveland State then found itself up just one point with three bouts left to go, but two Vikings notched wins to seal the deal. "It was another great team effort from top to bottom," head coach Josh Moore said after securing CSU's seventh win of the season. True freshman Logan Heil got CSU off to a good start at 125 pounds, but it was not smooth sailing for the rookie. He trailed after one period and was tied, 4-4, after five minutes. Starting in the top position for the third, Heil tallied four crucial back points before adding a point for riding time to post a 9-4 win. Redshirt senior Justin Patrick contributed his second straight major decision win at 133. He opened up a 6-0 lead after one period on the strength of four back points and would cruise to an 11-1 win. Redshirt senior Evan Cheek, who was listed among the top 20 in the NCAA rankings released Friday, had a battle at 141 pounds. However, he was able to maintain his composure despite not scoring as much as usual as he held off his foe for a 2-1 win. The hosts would net wins at 149 and 157 to pull within three points in the team scoring. Redshirt freshman Riley Smucker remained in fine form at 165 pounds. After a scoreless first, Smucker rode his opponent for the entire second period. He posted an escape and a takedown in the third before adding a point of riding time for a 4-1 win. After the Cougars claimed a bonus-point win at 174 pounds, Cleveland State led by just a single point. True freshman DeAndre Nassar came up big for the guests at 184 pounds. He trailed after both the first and second period before rallying to tie the bout, and then take the lead with a takedown, in the third period. He held on for a 6-5 victory. "DeAndre is a true freshman, but he handles the pressure of big matches like he has been there many times before," Moore said. Sophomore Ben Smith effectively clinched the dual at 197 pounds as he tallied a pin at the two-minute mark. "We have been working on cradles this week, and it was nice to see Ben execute one and get the fall," Moore added. SIUE used a late takedown at heavyweight to claim a two-point win in a bout that turned out to be an inconsequential to the team outcome. "John Kelbly [at heavyweight] and Gus Sutton [at 149 pounds] wrestled tough matches against nationally ranked competitors and almost pulled the upsets," Moore remarked after those two Vikings lost by a combined five points. Cheek's win was his team-leading 28th and kept him perfect in dual action (7-0). Smith became the second Viking to reach the 20-win mark and tallied his 13th bonus-point victory. Heil, who moved to 4-1 in the MAC, and Smucker, who has won five straight, are tied for third on the team with 18 wins each. Cleveland State will be right back in action Saturday afternoon as it heads to nationally ranked Missouri.

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Led by No. 17 Kennedy Monday's technical fall win over No. 3 David McFadden, No. 12 North Carolina defeated No. 3 Virginia Tech, 23-10 Friday night at Cassell Coliseum. Joey Melendez began the dual with a key upset win over No. 11 Joey Prata. In the first period, Melendez turned Prata and scored four back points, a move that would prove to be the difference-maker. He scored another takedown in the third period on a scramble and won, 8-7, to kick off the night for Carolina. After Virginia Tech won at 133 pounds, Carolina picked up momentum again with wins in back-to-back bouts. Zach Sherman and Austin O'Connor both won with decisions - Sherman's over another ranked opponent (No. 18 Mitch Moore) - to push the team score in UNC's favor, 9-3, after the first four matches. A.C. Headlee kept the winning rolling for Carolina at 157 pounds with a win over No. 18 B.C. LaPrade. The redshirt senior scored a takedown in the second, the match's only takedown. He held on through the third period and won, 3-2. The most notable bout in the match was No. 17 Kennedy Monday's 21-6 technical fall win over No. 3 David McFadden. Monday scored early and often in the first, racking up 10 first-period points with a handful of back points. He rolled and never looked back, utilizing a takedown in the third to end the bout and put five team points on the board for Carolina. Clay Lautt picked up a 4-1 decision over Cody Hughes at 174 pounds, extending the team score lead to 20-3. Virginia Tech's No. 2 Hunter Bolen won with a major decision at 184 pounds over Joey Mazzara, but Brandon Whitman answered with another Carolina win, a 6-4 decision. Virginia Tech took the bout at heavyweight, but Carolina's early heroics were more than enough to send the Tar Heels home the winners, 23-10.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The Purdue wrestling team put up a huge road win Friday night, winning 9-of-10 matches on its way to a 37-4 dual win over Maryland at The Pavilion at the Xfinity Center. The Boilermakers put up bonus points in five of the nine wins, including back-to-back pins to close the dual as they improved to 10-2 overall and 3-1 in conference action. The Boilermakers' 34-point margin was their biggest in a conference dual since dealing Wisconsin a 41-3 defeat on Jan. 20, 2012. It was their fourth straight over the Terrapins, all coming since Maryland joined the Big Ten Conference. Purdue wasted no time taking control of the match as No. 6 junior Devin Schroder went out and scored his seventh technical fall of the season, needing 3:40 to roll up an 18-0 win over Brandon Cray. His sixth technical fall of the season over Division I opponents moved him into a tie for fourth place in the nation, coming in a combined 18:58, an average of 3:09 per match. Freshman Travis Ford-Melton used a pair of first-period takedowns to post a 7-4 win at 133 pounds, and sophomore Parker Filius logged his fourth bonus-point win of the season at 141 pounds, blanking Hunter Baxter 11-0. Filius whipped Baxter to his back for six in the first period and then continued tacking on points down the stretch as he pulled away. Senior Nate Limmex and eighth-ranked freshman Kendall Coleman posted back-to-back decisions at 149 and 157 pounds as Limmex downed Michael Doetsch 4-0 and Coleman reeled off four takedowns in a 10-4 victory over No. 24 Jahi Jones. The Terps got their lone win at 165 pounds, but No. 4 senior Dylan Lydy swung the momentum right back at 174, tallying five takedowns in a 12-4 major decision over No. 25 Philip Spadafora. Junior Max Lyon followed with a 7-2 decision at 184, his second straight win, 15th of the year and third in conference action. Senior Christian Brunner and freshman Thomas Penola put the finishing touches on the team win with consecutive falls in the last two matches. Brunner, ranked fifth in the nation at 197, needed only 1:47 to stick Niko Cappello, taking him down and stacking him up for his seventh fall of the year, while Penola, the nation's No. 25 heavyweight, put together a 6-1 lead before sticking Parker Robinson. Purdue will come right back into action Sunday heading to Rutgers for a 1 p.m. ET dual at the Rutgers Athletics Center. The Scarlet Knights toppled Indiana on Friday 29-7, winning 8-of-10 matches and moving to 8-3 overall and 3-2 in conference duals. Results: 125: No. 6 Devin Schroder (PUR) def.
