EVANSTON, Ill. -- No. 16 Northwestern bested North Dakota State Sunday at Welsh-Ryan Arena, winning seven of 10 bouts en route to a final score of 28-18. With the win, the 'Cats improve to 2-1 on the season and stayed unbeaten at home. Dating back to last season, the Wildcats have now won four-straight home duals. "That's a good win to get over a team that we've come up short against the last couple of years," Head Coach Matt Storniolo said following the win. "Putting 28 points up as a team is a good number, but we have to be a little stingier in the matches we didn't come out on top with." After a forfeit at 125, NU was quickly off to a 6-0 lead. From there, the marquee match of the dual took place at 133 pounds featuring No. 3 (125) Sebastian Rivera and No. 8 Cam Sykora. Rivera won the match via a 6-3 decision to put the 'Cats up 9-0 after two bouts. After a fall in favor of the Bison's Sawyer Degen at 141, Northwestern rebounded with two major decision victories by No. 20 Yahya Thomas, 11-0 (149) and No. 3 Ryan Deakin 12-1 (157). The Wildcats entered intermission with a 17-6 lead. "In terms of getting the offense I did a really good job today, that was one of the things I had really been working on" Thomas said following his second victory of the season. "And defensively I thought I wrestled really well and improved in a lot of areas." A first period pin by No. 9 Andrew Fogarty (165) would trim the Bison deficit to five, down 17-12, but a 8-6 decision in favor of Tyler Morland at 174, coupled with bonus-point victories for the 'Cats from Jack Jessen at 184 and Lucas Davison at 197 would put the bout out of reach. Northwestern wrestlers will take to the mat again December 6-7 in Vegas at the Cliff Kean Invitational. NU will host the returning home to Hoffman Estates and Sears Centre Arena to host the 57th Annual Ken Kraft Midlands Championships December 29-30. Results: 125: Michael DeAugustino (NU). forfeit.

Second-half surge pushes Michigan to rivalry win over CMU
InterMat Staff posted an article in College
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 21-ranked University of Michigan wrestling team claimed five of the final six bouts to overcome an early deficit and defeat in-state rival Central Michigan, 22-12, on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 24) in front of 1,467 fans at Cliff Keen Arena. The Wolverines took six total bouts, earning bonus points in two. It was a pair of freshmen making their collegiate dual-meet debuts who highlighted the Wolverine victory. Freshman Cole Mattin used a big six-point move in the third period to earn a comeback decision at 141 pounds, while sophomore/freshman Max Maylor earned a second-period fall at 174 pounds to put Michigan ahead for good. Mattin's decision was the Wolverines' lone win in the opening four bouts. The Wolverine rookie, who was pulled out of redshirt for the dual, defeated Dresden Simon, 11-8, after trailing by essentially five points -- 5-1 plus riding time -- in the second period. He narrowed the deficit with a single-leg takedown in the second, then added another midway through the third, putting Simon right to his back to surge into the lead with four near-fall points. Simon earned a reversal and a riding-time point to narrow the final margin. Maylor earned his second fall of the season, pinning Jake Lowell at 4:55, to secure big bonus points in his debut at 174 pounds. The Wolverine scored two takedowns in the first period to build a lead but used strong leg defense and caught Lowell when the latter tried to step over on a whizzer on the edge of the mat. Junior/sophomore Jelani Embree, ranked 16th nationally at 184 pounds, followed Maylor's bonus win with one of his own, scoring seven takedowns en route to a 16-6 major decision against Ben Cushman. Embree used a variety of singles, doubles and go-behind to convert on five takedowns in the first period and added one apiece in the second and third frames. He earned 3:00 in riding-time advantage. Sophomore heavyweight Mason Parris, ranked third nationally, claimed the dual's marquee match, 4-1, over seventh-ranked Matt Stencel to put a bow on the Wolverine win. After trading escapes, Parris used a stall point to regain the lead in the third and iced the bout with a low leg attack and rideout late. It was Parris' third win over Stencel in four weeks this season; he improved to 10-0 on the season. Sophomore/freshman Will Lewan and junior/sophomore Layne Van Anrooy also earned decision wins for the Wolverines before and after the intermission break at 157 and 165 pounds, respectively, to even up the team score. Lewan, ranked 12th nationally, rallied from an initial deficit to defeat Logan Parks, 6-3, with takedowns in the first and third periods. Van Anrooy used a last-second escape to edge Tracy Hubbard, 8-7, after a wild third period. The Wolverine scored two third-period takedowns to take the lead, but Hubbard used a roll through to reverse the position and tie the score with 22 seconds to go. Van Anrooy twice got to his feet before action went out of bounds and, on a restart with just two seconds remaining, hit a switch to get away and earn the go-ahead point. It was his first dual win at Michigan. Michigan will take a week off over the Thanksgiving holiday before returning to action at the annual Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, slated for Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6-7, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Action is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. PST each day. Results: 125 -- #9 Drew Hildebrandt (CMU) dec. Jack Medley, 3-2 -- CMU, 3-0 133 -- Brock Bergelin (CMU) dec.

CHAPEL HILL --- Clay Lautt's second pin of the year and Zach Sherman's major decision win helped No. 19 North Carolina (2-1) to a 22-15 win over Chattanooga (1-4) Sunday in Carmichael Arena. After Chattanooga picked up five team points with a tech fall at 125 pounds, Jaime Hernandez and Sherman accounted for back-to-back wins to put Carolina back on top. Hernandez notched a 4-1 win over Franco Valdez, while Sherman stormed out of the gate and won with a 14-3 major decision over Aidan Murphy. Following Chattanooga's win at 149 pounds, Carolina won three straight bouts to score enough team points to ultimately put away the dual. A.C. Headlee and Kennedy Monday went back-to-back with wins via decision before Clay Lautt posted the performance of the dual. For the second time in two weeks, Lautt picked up a win via fall. Already winning against Chattanooga's Hunter Fortner in the third period, Lautt locked up a cradle with under a minute to go and turned Fortner to his back for a pin. That gave UNC six team points, lifting the team score to 19-9. Chattanooga took the bouts at 184 and 197, but Andrew Gunning's 9-3 win at heavyweight wrapped up a 22-15 team win for the Tar Heels. Carolina will be back in action next Sunday, December 1 against Appalachian State. The dual is set to start at 2 p.m. EST.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- The No. 3 Nebraska wrestling team picked up bonus points in four of their five match victories on Sunday afternoon to defeat No. 17 Northern Iowa 23-19 at the West Gym in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The Huskers' first road trip to Northern Iowa (0-2, 0-0 Big Twelve) in nearly a decade started off unevenly. Alex Thomsen (125) scored three takedowns and led No. 9 Jay Schwarm 6-2 before the Panther grappler put Thomsen in a cradle and took the Husker redshirt freshman to his back. Schwarm's pin gave the home team a quick 6-0 advantage. Ridge Lovett (133) had his redshirt pulled and saw action in his first dual meet of the season. Lovett scored a takedown less than one minute into the first period, but yielded four near-fall points and a late takedown, ultimately falling 8-2 to Jack Skudlarczyk. No. 7 Chad Red Jr. (141) turned the tide with a dominant technical fall victory over UNI's Michael Blockhus. Red scored six near-fall points less than one minute into the match and secured an 18-0 victory in less than three minutes of action. With the team score 9-5 in favor of the Panthers, No. 19 Collin Purinton (149) went toe-to-toe with No. 3 Max Thomsen in the first of three matchups between ranked wrestlers. Thomsen led Purinton 6-4 after two periods. Purinton then scored a third-period takedown to tie the score at six. Thomsen earned an escape but one point was rewarded to Purinton for stalling, evening the score at seven at the end of the third period. In the sudden victory period, Purinton scored a takedown to walk away with a 9-7 decision. Peyton Robb (157) and No. 5 Isaiah White kept the positive momentum going for the Big Red. Robb took Keaton Geerts to his back and won by fall in the first period, giving NU a 14-9 lead at intermission. When action resumed, White tallied five takedowns and two near-fall points to earn a 13-5 major decision victory over Austin Yant. In a matchup of returning All-Americans, UNI's No. 7 Bryce Steiert defeated No. 3 Mikey Labriola (174) 2-1. Neither grappler recorded a takedown, with Steiert's two points coming via an escape and a locked hands call. No. 7 Taylor Lujan led No. 3 Taylor Venz (184) 6-4 after Period 1 and did not allow Venz to record a takedown the rest of the match, instead tallying three takedowns of his own en route to a 15-6 major decision victory. With Nebraska clinging to an 18-16 lead, No. 10 Eric Schultz (197) dominated Noah Glaser, piling up 11 takedowns in 24-9 techincal fall victory which gave the Huskers an insurmountable 23-16 advantage. In the final bout of the afternoon, Carter Isley defeated David Jensen (HWT) 6-2. The Huskers (4-0, 0-0 Big Ten) will have their first extended break of the young season with the next 11 days off before heading to Las Vegas for the Cliff Keen Invitational, which runs from Dec. 6-7.

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- The Army West Point wrestling team scored early and often Sunday at Christl Arena, as the Black Knights won nine of 10 matches on their way to a 35-4 dual match win over West Virginia. "I thought we wrestled hard," said head coach Kevin Ward. "I thought our hustle was good and that led to some guys looking for some bonus points. We were in position in a couple matches where we could separate scores and give our guys that did that credit." Four Cadets earned bonus point wins for Army (4-1) against the Mountaineers (0-2). Competing in his first career dual, Andrew Wert Jr. looked impressive at 133 pounds, picking up a 10-0 majority decision over Lucas Seibert. Corey Shie followed that up with an 18-2 technical fall at 141 pounds. Shie now has four bonus point wins on the season. The momentum continued for the Black Knights at 149 pounds. P.J. Ogunsanya picked up his second pin of the year in the second period to make it 18-0 Army after four matches. "I just like to go out there on the mat and just work what I want to get done," said Ogunsanya."I like to go out there with a positive spirit and have fun with it." The top-billed match of the day came at 165 pounds between No. 10 Cael McCormick and No. 20 Nick Kiussis. After three tough periods, McCormick was able to score a takedown in the final 20 seconds to earn the 3-1 decision. Ben Harvey had the final bonus point win for Army. The senior won his team leading fifth dual of the season at 174 pounds -- a 16-0 technical fall, his first tech fall of the year. "What everything up to this point has done for us, has allowed us to grow and improve," added Ward. "The work that you do between competitions is where you really grow."

Different venue, different year, same result for the Princeton wrestling team in its series with Lehigh. A year after the Tigers got their first win over Lehigh since 1968 in a match in Bethlehem, Princeton gave the home fans the treat of seeing a win over the Mountain Hawks, 18-14 Saturday night in Jadwin Gym. The back-to-back wins are the first over Lehigh for Princeton since the 1934-35 and 1936-37 seasons. In a battle of nationally-ranked wrestlers, Princeton's fifth-ranked Patrick Glory won in sudden victory overtime over 17th-ranked Brandon Paetzell at 125 to open the evening before the crowd of 886. Lehigh was able to answer and square the match at 3-3 with a decision win by 19th-ranked Nick Farro over Princeton's Sean Pierson, but Princeton won each of the next four bouts by decision to run up a 15-3 lead. At 165, Grant Cuomo had the last of those over Lehigh's Bryan Meyer to provide what became the clinching win. The lead weathered consecutive Lehigh wins, by major decision for second-ranked Jordan Keller at 174 over Kevin Parker and by decision for Chris Weiler at 184 over Travis Stefanik, to make it 15-10, but second-ranked Patrick Brucki's win by decision over 16th-ranked Jake Jakobsen at 197 put the match out of reach for Lehigh by pushing Princeton's lead to 18-10 with just the heavyweight match to go. Princeton will have the Thanksgiving holiday weekend away from competition before making the trip to Stillwater, Okla., to face current No. 7 Oklahoma State. On Nov. 16, the Mountain Hawks opened their dual season with a 21-20 win over Oklahoma State that came down to third criteria.

The Cowboys (1-1, 1-0 Big Twelve) got off to a quick start, winning the first two matches of the evening. At 125, Wyoming's Cole Verner defeated Husker redshirt freshmen Alex Thomsen in a three-overtime thriller.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team scored a 47-0 win at Davidson to open Southern Conference action tonight. The Mocs improve to 2-3 overall and 1-0 in league action, while the Wildcats drop to 0-3 and 0-2 in conference duals. Tonight was the first shutout for UTC since a 49-0 win over Cumberland on Nov. 14, 2015. It was also the first shutout in a SoCon match since a 46-0 win over Campbell on Jan. 18, 2015. "Our guys came out and they dictated each match individually," said UTC head coach Kyle Ruschell. "They were aggressive and looking to score a lot of points. It was good to see them making adjustments and showing improvements over last week's match." UTC posted bonus points in eight of its 10 wins tonight, including four pins. Junior Fabian Gutierrez got the action started with a first-period fall over Anthony Rautmann at 125. Junior Wade Cummings followed with a 5-3 decision over Kyle Gorant at 133. Two takedowns in the first period gave Cummings a lead that he held on to for the rest of the match. Sophomore Aidan Murphy broke into the win column for the first time this season with a 6-5 decision over David Loniewski at 141. Murphy also built a lead early with a pair of takedowns in the first three minutes. He held off a late charge by Loniewski, who scored a takedown of his own in the third frame, to give the Mocs a 12-0 lead. "Aidan came out and got to the guy's legs right away," said Ruschell. "We knew that he had some upper body throws, but for the most part we stayed away from that. We got up early and made it tough on him." Sophomore Tanner Smith followed with a Tech Fall at 149, while sophomore Tyler Shilson added a major decision at 157. That gave the Mocs a commanding 23-0 lead at the halfway point. Sophomore Andrew Nicholson added a major at 165, followed by back-to-back pins from sophomores Hunter Fortner and Matthew Waddell at 174 and 184, respectively. Senior Rodney Jones posted a major decision at 197, while sophomore Grayson Walthall closed out the dual with a pin at heavyweight. "The team really got behind Grayson in the last match tonight," added Ruschell. "Grayson did a great job pushing the pace and wore his guy out. He caught him on his back and the whole team was really happy for him. Up next for the Mocs is a Sunday showdown against No. 19 North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Match time is set for 2:00 p.m. and links to follow along via TrackWrestling and the ACC Network Extra are on the wrestling schedule page on GoMocs.com.

OREM, Utah -- South Dakota State's Zach Carlson and Clay Carlson each recorded pins to lead the Jackrabbit wrestling team to a 24-12 victory over host Utah Valley in the Big 12 Conference dual opener for both teams Friday. The Jackrabbits evened their overall dual record at 1-1, while UVU dropped to 1-2 on the season. SDSU got out of the gates quickly, winning each of the first three matches by decision for a 9-0 advantage. Henry Pohlmeyer scored an 8-4 victory over Landon Knutzen at 149 pounds, followed by a 13-6 victory by Colten Carlson in the 157-pound bout. Garrett Jordan finished the run with a 3-2 win over Koy Wilkinson at 165 pounds. The Wolverines got on the board with a decision by Kimball Bastian in the 174-pound matchup before Zach Carlson gave SDSU some added cushion with a second-period pin of Gary Jantzer. Ranked 19th by Intermat, Carlson upped the Jackrabbit lead to 15-3 at the halfway mark in improving to 6-1 on the season. Utah Valley pulled to within 15-9 with back-to-back victories in the top two weight classes. The Wolverines' Tanner Orndorff pulled off an upset by knocking off fifth-ranked Jackrabbit Tanner Sloan in the 197-pound match, 5-3. Sloan led 2-1 through two periods, although Orndorff began to gain the momentum by riding out the entire second period from the top position. Orndorff escaped early in the third period and came up with a takedown moments later for a 4-2 lead, securing the final point via riding time after Sloan escaped in the closing seconds. The Jackrabbits nearly pulled off an upset of their own in the heavyweight bout as Blake Wolters lost a 6-4 overtime decision to fourth-ranked Tate Orndorff. Wolters forced the extra session with a takedown in the final seconds of regulation, while Orndorff recorded the decisive takedown with less than 10 seconds to go in the first overtime session. With the dual shifting back to the lower weights, senior 125-pounder Kahlen Morris stemmed the tide for SDSU with a 4-2 decision over Josiah Nava. After the Wolverines stayed within striking distance at 18-12 following a Taylor LaMont decision at 133 pounds, Clay Carlson sealed the SDSU win with a first-period pin Cameron Hunsaker in the 141-pound matchup. Carlson entered the dual ranked 32nd by TrackWrestling.

Takedown Report's analysis of all championship coaches in all divisions
InterMat Staff posted an article in College
Dan Gable (Photo/Iowa Athletics) As the college wrestling season gets underway, the Takedown Report has been providing an analysis of the top college wrestling coaches across all divisions -- NCAA Division I, II and III, along with NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) and NJCAA (National Junior College Athletics Association). Now TDR editor Martin Fleming has analyzed his own analyses of champion collegiate coaches from all these divisions ... and presented it at his Takedown Report blog. Now InterMat is sharing the link to Fleming's cross-divisional analysis released this week of the all-time top college mat coaches, no matter the era or competitive division. "In previous articles we have looked at a listing of the coaches who have led their college teams to national championships," Fleming wrote in his latest all-encompassing analysis for TDR. "They were ranked by most championships within a division. This list looks at the coaches ranked with all of their championships combined. With teams tying for championships and those with two coaches as co-head coaches the total number of championships tops 320 titles." Five wrestling coaches across all college divisions going back more 90 years can claim at least ten national team titles. At the top of the list is Dan Gable, who coached his University of Iowa wrestlers to 15 NCAA Division I team championships between 1978 and 1997. In second place is Central Oklahoma's David James, with a dozen Division II team titles garnered in the span from 1984 to 2007. Going back to a much earlier time in college wrestling history ... Ed Gallagher, the coach who put Oklahoma State wrestling on the map as one of the all-time great mat programs, guided his Cowboys to eleven national team titles, starting with the very first NCAA wrestling championships in 1928, and concluding with the 1940 NCAAs a few months before his death at age 53. Two college coaches can each claim ten team titles at two rival powerhouse programs in NCAA Division III: Jeff Swenson at Augsburg University in Minnesota, claiming championships between 1991 and 2007 ... and Jim Miller at Iowa's Wartburg College, who led his Knights to ten team titles from 1996-2009. That's just the beginning. Takedown Report goes on to list all the other coaches and programs that have claimed at least one national team crown in any one of the college divisions. Anyone involved in college wrestling -- as a fan, an athlete, or a coach -- will find the results of Martin Fleming's research to be fascinating and informative. To see ALL the coaches who can claim at least one national team title in at least one of today's collegiate divisions, take a look at Fleming's multi-divisional analysis at his Takedown Report blog.

The college wrestling season is in full swing, with several of the nation's top programs taking dual meets over the next few weeks before the holiday break. The fall can be challenging for the NCAA's toughest premier athletes. Many are coming to the reality that the hedonism of the summer has been cooled by morning lifts, two-and-a-half hour practices, and a slate filled with classes. Most are also coming to grips with a season of weight management, to which Thanksgiving's cranberry sauces and green bean casseroles are ill-aligned. The resulting caloric restriction and dinnertime sulking -- filled with gaunt faces and cries for time spent away from the food -- is all but an official scene in the tableau of a wrestler's life. Same is said for the dusky post-dinner jog around the neighborhood -- an immediate counterattack against whichever pie found its way past security. These scenes in mind, be a little kinder this year to those young men and women at the table with big dreams and small stomachs. Don't bring up politics, stick to sports, and always be sure to pass the gravy. Happy Thanksgiving. To your questions … Seth Gross defends a shot from Nick Suriano at the Bill Farrell Memorial International Open (Photo/Larry Slater) Q: Can Seth Gross win internationally with a predominantly shot-defense offense? Or will the Eastern Europeans finish clean when they need to? -- Tony R. Foley: The latter more than the former, but Gross' style does seem to frustrate a heck of a lot of guys including Nick Suriano who looked to have his early round match at the Farrell locked up before Gross pulled out some magic. The cut to 57 kilograms had to be awful for Gross and it makes me wonder what he'll be like in a few months after having to pop down for big tournaments. Still, in regard to his style I tend to agree that the Russian wrestlers don't tend to find difficulty in finishing cleanly when they absolutely must in order to get their takedowns. On the occasion that they do engage in prolonged scrambles a number of the European wrestlers actually fair pretty well. Oddly, I think that its Kumar Ravi of India who could really get under Gross' skin, as he does a lot of the same stuff and has an absolutely indomitable gas tank. Will be interesting to see where Gross competes again this year in freestyle. But to my earlier point, he may avoid at least some of the injury from bouncing down to weight now that he is qualified for the Olympic Team Trials and can forgo the U.S. Open. Q: What was your biggest takeaway from the Bill Farrell Memorial International Open? -- Mike C. Foley: The number of entries. The Olympic year prompted USA Wrestling to incentivize wrestlers to compete in as many tournaments as possible and for the Farrell the carrot was a pass to the Olympic Team Trials. That is HUGE for any athlete who wants to avoid the grind of the U.S. Open and focus entirely on peaking for the Trials. Kyle Snyder gets his hand raised after winning the Bill Farrell Memorial International Open (Photo/Larry Slater) I was also impressed with Kyle Snyder's offense during the weekend. I think that he's often less cautious against American opponents, but it was nice to see him setting up more attacks and taking some more chances on the mat. I also thought he looked a little more fluid in his motion on his feet, but I also admit that seeing him wrestle is a Rorschach Test on how influential one thinks Cael can be on the style of a wrestler. Jordan Oliver also looked pretty dope. Good for him to keep grinding and I think that Tony Ramos and Coleman Scott are having a positive impact on Oliver and his late career development. Q: There was an ESPN "30 for 30" called The Prince of Pennsylvania on the Schultz brothers' relationship with John du Pont. If ESPN produced another 30 for 30 on wrestling, what subject do you think would appeal to the masses? -- Mike C. Foley: First, I think that the best documentary on the topic was John Greenhalgh's "Team Foxcatcher" which you can watch on Netflix right now. Gutting in every way, but also captures a moment in time that we forget wrestling had to trudge past. Not just the killing of Dave Schultz, but the mentality of subordinating our values to those who promise to find overseas competitions. The 30 for 30 series tends to focus on moments that alter the national conscience and speak to some larger issue, but that happen to involve sports. The Rulon Gardner beating Aleksander Karelin story has layers (it'll be a documentary on Olympic Channel this spring) but it only vaguely touches on larger geopolitical tensions. I think Helen Maroulis beating Saori Yoshida is a big moment, but it's probably not the larger story that would attract a 30 for 30. The Kaori Icho four-time champions and Me Too inspired actions could maybe qualify, but again not quite to the level of a 30 for 30. The best might be Zhan Beleniuk. Zhan is the only son of a Rwandan-refugee father who died when he returned to his home country to fight in its Civil War. He grew up in a hard scrabble set of circumstances but eventually found his way through wrestling, winning Olympic silver and earlier this year was elected a member of Parliament at only 28 years old -- and the first person of color to ever do so in Ukraine. MULTIMEDIA HALFTIME Ravi Kumar How good is Gadzhimurad Rashidov? Freestyle highlights from the World Championships MMA World Championships … hmmm Q: What do you make of the Bo Nickal vs. Gordon Ryan match with modified grappling rules? Does Bo have a chance to win? Or is it just a way for him to get his name out there? -- Mike C. Foley: Well, I'm happy for Team USA and Bo Nickal's Olympic hopes that these rules forbid leg locks, because Gordon Ryan would absolutely grip it and rip it should he get within spitting distance of Bo Nickal's ankle. Gordon isn't a nice person. He won't take it easy. I don't know that I completely understand the scoring for these hybrid event, but I do know that the match will end with a submission. That makes this somewhat anticlimactic as I'm 100 percent certain Bo is either going to get choked from the back, arm locked, or guillotined within the first ten minutes. Look, I get it. This is a promotion and Nickal is raising his name ID by getting in front of another MMA-adjacent crowd. Kudos. But he should definitely be ready to defend himself for 15 straight minutes and be ready to tap. There is no pride in not being able to use your arm for three months or going to sleep for everyone to see. Again, I get it … but as a professional athlete I wouldn't put myself in harm's way for the sake of some free promotion. I've trained jiu-jitsu for 8-9 years, can wrestle well enough, and am just about the same size as Ryan and Nickal and there is almost no chance I am beating Ryan in a submission grappling match. Nickal hasn't trained jiu-jitsu. This isn't sport, it's theater of the absurd. I really, really hope Nickal doesn't get injured and we can just move past this moment. Q: How about Rider? Upset Minnesota last week. What are they looking like as a program? -- Donald B. Foley: Outrageous result! Matches like these are exactly why the National Duals, or a dual team national championship is so viable, because any two jamokes can talk about lesser-known school upsetting the larger one. It draws fans in, makes them pay attention to their next matches more closely, and provides 2-3 days of extra stories in the paper. Individual tournaments are great, but they just can't generate the same type of press coverage. Here's another one for you … what about a Premier League like standings where you earn points throughout the year, meaning every match counts toward your end-of-year viability. Instead of coaches making the schedule the NCAA does and then takes a top eight into the national dual meet championships. Could be a winning idea, especially once the NCAA collapses in on itself and explodes, like a dying star. As for the match, I only saw the results, which I've added here as a box score. Really impressive win and great job by all the athletes and Coach Hangey. Rider 21, Minnesota 17 125: Jonathan Tropea (Rider) dec. Patrick McKee (Minnesota), 10-3 133: Chris Wright (Rider) dec.

Boddy Stevenson (Minnesota), 1-0 Gable Steveson warms up before a dual meet against Purdue (Photo/David Peterson, Minnesota/USA Wrestling) Q: Do you think Gable Steveson will return to the Gopher lineup this season? -- Mike C. Foley: Impossible to tell. The length of the investigation and the fact it's now crested past the 90-day window that was previously announced could mean that they are days away from filing charges, or that they are waiting on some key piece of evidence to come back. I doubt that if things were concluded there would be much reason to pause before announcement, especially if they were doing so at the risk of not hitting their self-imposed 90-day timeline. The matter within the university seems straightforward at the moment: as long as Steveson is under investigation he is suspended from the team. Should the county not file charges and removes him from investigation the school would have a pathway to reinstatement, but that doesn't mean he'd be welcomed back right away. There could be a school disciplinary actions taken that could either remove him from the team, and possibly the university. Given the pace of the case thus far I'd find it difficult to believe that he'll be returning this semester. He can compete at the international level right now because he is under investigation and Safe Sport would only intercede if he were charged.

Lambert (2-2) gave Hofstra the lead for good with a pin of sophomore Jared Van Vleet at the 4:01 mark of their 133-pound match. Air Force senior Garrett O'Shea brought the Falcons to within three at 15-12 with a 9-5 win over Hofstra's Vinny Vespa at 141. But that would be the last win for the Falcons on the night as Pride freshman Reece Heller edged fellow rookie Dylan Martinez, 7-6 at 149, older brother sophomore Holden Heller clouted Trey Brisker, 7-1 at 157, and junior Ricky Stamm closed out the match with a 3-1 sudden victory decision on a takedown over 29th-ranked Randy Meneweather. Hofstra (1-0) returns to action on Friday and Saturday, December 6-7 when the Pride compete in the Cliff Keen-Las Vegas Invitational.
