The Huskies finish the tournament with a team score of 95.5 points, while Wheeling Jesuit was in second place at 87.5 and McKendree placed third at 83.0. The top five was completed by Notre Dame (OH) with 77.5 points and Nebraska-Kearney with 71.0. This marked the fourth time since 2015 that the Huskies have won the NCAA Division II national championship. SCSU also claimed the NCAA title in 2015, 2016 and 2018, all under the leadership of head coach Steve Costanzo. SCSU senior Vince Dietz led the Huskies with a 3-1 record at the NCAA finals and finished as the runner-up at 197-pounds for the second consecutive season. In the title bout, Dietz lost a close 5-2 decision against Nicolas Mason of Tiffin. To reach the title bout, Dietz opened the day with a 4-3 win over Clayton Walstrom of Augustana in the semifinals. He was one of seven All-Americans for the Huskies at the NCAA championships in 2019. "The guys we brought here this weekend did a tremendous job but this title was a collective effort, it's everyone in that room on the team," SCSU coach Steve Costanzo said. "This team is a band of brothers who unite each year in a common goal." At 125-pounds, Brett Velasquez ended a storied college career by placing fourth and earning his fourth NCAA All-America award. He finished his season with a 6-4 loss in the bout for third place against Cole Laya of Wheeling Jesuit. Velasquez ended 2018-19 with a 23-5 record and won 103 matches during his collegiate wrestling career at SCSU. He is the ninth SCSU wrestler in team history to gain All-America status four times during his college career. At 133-pounds, Garrett Vos gained his first All-America award after placing sixth at the NCAA championships. In the match for fifth place, Vos lost by a fall to Tate Barnhart of University of Mary. Vos completed his season with a 22-5 overall record. At 149-pounds, James Pleski gained his third All-America award as a Husky by placing fourth at the NCAA tourney. In the third place bout, Pleski lost a close 3-2 decision to Gavin Londoff on Lindenwood. Earlier in the day, Pleski reached the consolation finals thanks to a 3-1 sudden victory win over Isaiah Kemper of McKendree. In the tournament, Pleski wrestled in five overtime bouts. He completes his 2018-19 season with a 29-3 record. At 157-pounds, Jake Barzowski brought home the third place title with a 6-4 win over Nate Smalling of McKendree. He reached the third place match by virtue of his 5-4 win over James Wimer of Findlay. This was Barzowski first All-America award as a Husky. He finishes his 2018-19 season with a 25-3 record. In action at 165-pounds, Devin FitzPatrick placed sixth at the NCAA championships to gain his first All-America award. FitzPatrick lost in the fifth place bout to Korey Windham by a score of 6-5. FitzPatrick ended his season with a solid 26-6 record. At 174-pounds, Kolton Eischens gained his second consecutive NCAA All-America award with a fourth place finish at the tournament. In his first match of the day on March 9, Eischens added important bonus points with a pin against TC Warner of Kutztown (2:30). In the third place match, Eischens lost by a fall against Michael Raccioppi of East Stroudsburg. Eischens finished his season in 2018-19 with a 25-4 record for the Huskies and Coach Costanzo. SCSU's other two NCAA qualifiers at this year's tournament were seniors Travis Swanson and Chance Helmick. This was Swanson's first trip to the NCAA finals at 141-pounds and it was Helmick's first trip as a Husky to the NCAA championships at 184-pounds. Helmick also qualified for the NCAA championships during his collegiate career as a wrestler for Chadron State before his transfer to SCSU in 2018. The Huskies will need to add another shelf to its trophy case as SCSU captured its eighth consecutive NSIC title in 2018-19 and also won the 2019 NWCA DII National Duals tournament and the 2019 NCAA Division II Super V regional crown. The Huskies have not lost a dual meet since Jan. 14, 2017 (48 consecutive dual victories). SCSU has also won the NCAA DII Regional title in 2019, 2018, 2017, 2013, 2012 and 2011. At the NCAA championships, St. Cloud State has been impressive (see chart below) and the Huskies have also won NWCA DII National Duals championships in 2019, 2018, 2017, 2013 and 2012.

Augsburg won the NCAA title by 64 points (Photo/Don Stoner, Augsburg University) ROANOKE, Va. -- Winning all four of its individual national title bouts on Saturday evening, the Augsburg University wrestling team claimed a 64-point victory at the NCAA Division III National Championships at the Berglund Center for its 13th national title in program history. THE BASICS FINAL TOP 10 TEAM SCORES: 1. Augsburg (Minn.) 130.0; 2. Loras (Iowa) 66.0; 3. Johnson & Wales (R.I.) 63.0; 4. Ithaca (N.Y.) 59.5; 5. Mount Union (Ohio) 58.5; 6. Wartburg (Iowa) 52.0; 7. Wisconsin-Whitewater 49.5; 8. College of New Jersey 44.0; 9t. Millikin (Ill.) 42.0; 9t. Wabash (Ind.) 42.0. LOCATION: Berglund Center, Roanoke, Va. HOW IT HAPPENED • Augsburg finished with 130.0 points, 64 ahead of second-place Loras (Iowa), which had 64.0 points. The title is Augsburg's first since 2015 and its second for head coach Jim Moulsoff, who was named the National Wrestling Coaches Association's Division III National Coach of the Year for the second time. Augsburg previously won national crowns in 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2015. • Four Auggies claimed national titles in Saturday's evening sessions, including two repeat champions -- 165-pounder Lucas Jeske (JR, St. Michael, Minn./St. Michael-Albertville HS) and 157-pounder Ryan Epps (JR, Cannon Falls, Minn./Cannon Falls HS). David Flynn (JR, Jordan, Minn./Jordan HS (Scott West)) claimed the crown at 141 pounds and Lance Benick (SO, Scandia, Minn./Totino-Grace HS) won the title at 197. • Epps won his second national title in bizarre fashion, with a disqualification in the third period over Antwon Pugh of Mount Union (Ohio) due to excessive cautions. Called for a stalling warning in the first period while building an 8-1 lead with two takedowns and a four-point near-fall, Pugh was called for stalling twice in the second period, as Epps rode him the entire two minutes. In the third period, Pugh was called for stalling for the fourth time with 1:22 left, then was called for a ffith time with 1:08 left, resulting in a automatic disqualification. • Earlier on Saturday, Epps scored a 6-4 semifinal win over Bradan Birt of Millikin (Ill.) -- his second two-point win over Birt this season. A two-time All-American and three-time national tournament qualifier, Epps finished his junior season at 37-3 and is now 113-11 in his Auggie career. • Jeske finished his junior season with a 31-match winning streak dating to last season, when he also won the Division III national title at 165, and did it again with a 6-2 win over Dempsey King of the Rochester Institute of Technology (N.Y.). Jeske used his strength to dominate the match, scoring takedowns in the first and second periods, while claiming 3:19 of riding time in the win. • Jeske reached the title match with an incredible 9-7, sudden-victory overtime win in the semifinals over Kyle Hatch of Wabash (Ind.), rallying from a 6-0 first-period deficit with a methodical comeback, forcing overtime with a takedown 25 seconds left in regulation and 1:40 of riding time for a bonus point, then claiming the winning takedown with 12 seconds left in the sudden-victory session. A three-time All-American who also finished third nationally in 2017, Jeske finished his junior year at 21-0 and is now 86-9 in his Auggie career. • At 141, Flynn claimed his first national title in dramatic fashion, rallying from a 3-2 deficit in the third period with a takedown with 33 seconds left in the match, scoring a 4-3 victory over Chris Williams of Millikin (Ill.) -- his second win over Williams this season. Williams took a 2-1 lead on a takedown with 1:35 left in the second period, countering a single-leg attempt by Flynn. After Flynn tied the match with an escape late in the second, Williams took the lead with an escape to open the third, setting the stage for Flynn's heroics. • Flynn reached the championship match with a 4-2 semifinal win over Clint Lembeck of Loras (Iowa) earlier in the day. Leading 1-0 after one period, Flynn controlled Lembeck by riding him the entire second period, then scored a reversal with 1:27 left in the match. He secured the win with a 2:34 riding-time advantage. A three-time national tournament qualifier and two-time All-American who finished third in 2017, Flynn finished his junior year at 28-5 and is now 101-30 in his career (73-16 at Augsburg). • At 197, Benick held firm control in his bout against Keajion Jennings of Millikin (Ill.), avenging a December loss to Jennings with an 8-5 win in Saturday's national title match. Leading 4-3 after two periods, Benick scored a reversal with 1:34 left in the match, and following an escape by Jennings, clinched the win with a takedown with 34 seconds left. • Benick reached the title match with a dramatic 5-1 semifinal victory over Guy Patron Jr. of Loras (Iowa), his second win over Patron this season. Tied at 1-1 in a close battle late in the third period, Benick worked for a double-arm underhook, then converted an incredible throw, putting Patron on his back for a takedown and two-point near-fall with 12 seconds left in the match. In his second year at Augsburg after spending a redshirt year at Division I Arizona State in 2015-16, Benick finished his sophomore year at 29-3, and is now 40-8 in his Auggie career. • Three Auggies ended their season with All-American finishes during Saturday's early session. At 149 pounds, Alex Wilson (SR, Oak Grove, Minn./St. Francis HS) capped his career with his second All-America finish, placing fourth after last year's fifth-place finish. In the semifinals, Wilson couldn't gain any momentum against Ryan Budzek of The College of New Jersey in an 8-1 loss. But he bounced back with a 6-1 triumph over Zachary Cooper of Alma (Mich.) in the wrestlebacks, using a takedown and four-point near-fall in the first period, and a reversal in the second to claim the win. In the third-place match, he dropped a 15-3 major decision to Brett Kaliner of Stevens Tech (N.J.), giving up four takedowns, a two-point near-fall and a four-point near-fall. Wilson finished his senior year at 37-7 and his Augsburg career at 130-38. • Victor Gliva (JR, Farmington, Minn./Farmington HS), competing in his third national tournament, earned his second All-America honor with a fifth-place finish at 125, after finishing in eighth place in 2017. In the semifinals, Gliva built a 3-1 lead over Mike Tortorice of Wisconsin-Whitewater, but surrendered a takedown with 33 seconds left in regulation, and another with 24 seconds left in sudden-victory overtime, in a 5-3 loss. He then suffered another narrow loss in the semifinals, falling 3-1 to Ferdinand Mase of Ithaca (N.Y.). But he scored a big win in the fifth-place match, collecting his second pin of the tournament and ninth of the season, a 4:03 match-ender over Cameron Timok of Central (Iowa). Gliva finished his junior campaign at 28-7 and is now 89-22 in his career. • At 174, Tanner Vassar (JR, Maple Lake, Minn./Maple Lake HS) scored his second All-America honor with a fifth-place finish, a two-spot jump from his seventh-place finish last year. In the consolations, Vassar met Ben Sarasin of Chicago (Ill.) for the third time this season and came away with his second win, building a 7-4 first-period advantage en route to an 8-6 win. He dropped a 4-0 decision to Daniel Kilroy of The College of New Jersey in his next match, but responded in the fifth-place match against Arthur Aeberli of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (Conn.), scoring a 19-4 technical fall. Vassar converted two takedowns, a reversal and a pair of late four-point near-falls to claim the big win, finishing his junior season at 26-9. He is now 93-29 in his Auggie career. BEYOND THE BOXSCORE • Augsburg's 13 national titles are the second-most in NCAA Division III wrestling history, behind the 14 won by Wartburg (Iowa). The two teams have combined to win every NCAA Division III wrestling national title since 1995. • Augsburg is one of just four teams in all NCAA divisions to have won 10 or more wrestling national titles. Oklahoma State has won 34 Division I titles, Iowa has won 23 in Division I, Wartburg has won 14 in Division III and Augsburg has now won 13 in Division III. • It's the fourth time that Augsburg has had four individual national titlists in one championships, the most of any Division III school. Augsburg also accomplished the feat in 2000, 2004 and 2005. Wartburg has accomplished the feat twice (2004 and 2012), John Carroll (Ohio) did it in 1975 and Montclair State (N.J.) did it in 1976. • Augsburg's four national finalists were its most in a single NCAA tournament since the 2011 season. Augsburg has now had four or more finalists in 10 national tournaments, with the record being six in 2005. Augsburg has had at least one national finalist in every tournament since 1995, a span of 25 straight years. • It marks the 13th time that Augsburg has recorded seven or more All-Americans in its NCAA national tournament history, and the first time since its last national title in 2015. Augsburg has had at least two All-Americans every year since 1988, and at least one All-American in either NCAA or NAIA national competition every year since 1977. • Augsburg has now earned 251 wrestling All-Americans in program history (213 in NCAA Division III, 38 in NAIA).

TULSA, Okla. -- Seven Cowboy wrestlers clinched their spots in the Big 12 Championship finals Saturday as Oklahoma State finished day one with 129.5 team points to sit comfortably in first place in the team standings. OSU, which has now slated at least six Big 12 finalists for 10 consecutive seasons, holds a 37-point advantage over second-place Iowa State. The three other Cowboys who did not reach the finals advanced in the consolation bracket and could finish as high as third. Additionally, OSU and Iowa State (four finalists) are the only teams at this year's tournament with all 10 wrestlers advancing past the first day of the event. "I like the way the day finished, pushing seven through to the finals," coach John Smith said. "Kaid Brock is having a pretty good tournament. I liked the way Gfeller bounced back. It seemed like he had a lot more energy tonight. There were several guys who showed some real excitement. Those last two wins were big. Every time you close the evening keeping some guys alive, that's always good. Overall, it was a good day with a good effort. It didn't go perfectly, but I saw a lot of hustle and a lot of effort." With an 11-1 record in the second session, the Pokes went 26-3 in individual matches on Saturday. Fourteen of those bouts came with bonus points attached, including nine in the first session and five in the second. OSU's seven finalists this year include Nick Piccininni (125 pounds), Daton Fix (133), Kaid Brock (141), Kaden Gfeller (149), Jacobe Smith (174), Preston Weigel (197) and Derek White at heavyweight. Piccininni and Weigel will go for their third career conference titles Sunday night, while White will be gunning for his second and the others try for their first. Jacobe Smith powered his way to the finals with an 18-5 major decision over fifth-seeded Hayden Hastings of Wyoming. It was his second bonus-point win of the day after picking up a first-period fall in the quarterfinals against Fresno's Dominic Kincaid, marking his first trip to the Big 12 finals. Also earning bonus points for the Cowboys in their semifinals bouts were Piccininni, Weigel and White. Piccininni took the Pokes' first match of the session with a dominant 15-2 win over Rico Montoya of Northern Colorado. Weigel shut out Oklahoma's Jake Woodley, 13-0, and White notched his 15th bonus-point win of the season, with an 11-1 major decision over Tate Orndorff (UVU). Fix advanced to the finals, defeating West Virginia's Matt Schmitt, 6-1, and Brock followed with his own 8-3 decision over Chris Sandoval of Northern Colorado. It marks Brock's third-consecutive trip to the Big 12 Conference finals. Freshman Gfeller will make his first appearance in the finals at the event after winning a 7-2 decision over Fresno's Khristian Olivas. After dropping quarterfinal bouts, Joe Smith and Wyatt Sheets each won their consolation matches Saturday evening. Sheets won two decisions, the first coming over UNI's Paden Moore. The second win came with a buzzer-beating takedown and dramatic 7-5 decision over Colten Carlson (SDSU). Smith collected a major decision over OU's Jeremy Thomas, then defeated Fresno State's Isaiah Hokit, 8-2. Dakota Geer is also set to wrestle in the consolation semifinals on Sunday after dropping his semifinal bout to second-seeded Drew Foster (UNI), 6-3. "We have to recognize that this tournament gets tougher and you want to get tougher as a team," John Smith said. "Winning seven of the eight in the semifinals, we got tougher. We recognize the competition gets a little better. Some of those weights guys are fighting for qualifications, so they're going to give you everything. I thought we were really tough in those semifinals matches." The second and final day of the tournament begins at noon on Sunday with the consolation semifinals, third-place matches and fifth-place matches. The finals will be held in session four, which begins at 7 p.m. Sunday. 2019 Big 12 Wrestling Championship March 9, 2019 | BOK Center | Tulsa, Okla. Team Standings After Session Two 1.

Lock Haven repeated as EWL champion (Photo/Tim Barnhart) FAIRFAX, Va. -- In what proved to be a dominant and historic outing, the Bald Eagles crowned six individual champions and soared by the tournament field, as the No. 21 Lock Haven University wrestling team claimed the 2019 Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) Championship. It marked LHU's second straight conference title. DJ Fehlman (Warren, Pa./Warren), Kyle Shoop (Boiling Springs, Pa./Boiling Springs), Alex Klucker (Summerdale, Pa./East Pennsboro), Chance Marsteller (New Park, Pa./Kennard-Dale), Corey Hazel (Spring Mills, Pa./Penns Valley) and Thomas Haines (Quarryville, Pa./Solanco) all won individual titles. Lock Haven paced the field with 111.5 points, while Rider was second (93.5) and host-George Mason (56.5) rounded out the top three. Edinboro was a distant fourth, followed by Bloomsburg (5th), Clarion (6th) and Cleveland State (7th). The six champions are the most for Lock Haven in EWL Tournament history. All six individual champions also booked trips to the 2019 NCAA Championships. Both Klucker (157) and Hazel (184) successfully defended their EWL titles from last season. Fehlman (133), Klucker, Marsteller (165) and Hazel are now all two-time NCAA qualifiers. Shoop (141) and Haines (285) are now three-time NCAA qualifiers. Marsteller's dominating run to the 165-pound title led to him being named the tournament's most outstanding wrestler. He was 3-0 with bonus points in all three bouts, including two pins. Today's championship marked the 44th and final EWL Championship, as it was announced earlier this week that LHU, along with the six other EWL teams will join the Mid-American Conference (MAC) next year for the sport of wrestling. The Bald Eagles effort today certainly put an exclamation point on their run through the EWL since 1976 with Lock Haven saving its very best effort for last. Today's team title marked LHU's second straight and third overall EWL crown. Last season ('18) when the Bald Eagles won, it marked their first EWL championship since Lock Haven's first, back in 1997. Luke Werner (Bethlehem, Pa./Liberty) fell in the 125-pound finals and finished second overall. Lock Haven was 6-1 in the championship finals tonight with a pair of majors and one pin (Klucker). Brock Port (Bellefonte, Pa./Bellefonte) and Jared Siegrist (Manheim, Pa./Manheim Central) battled back for Lock Haven, and finished third overall at 149 and 174, respectively. During the regular season, the Bald Eagles won 46 of 60 bouts in EWL dual action and that dominance carried over into this morning's Round 1 action. After drawing a pair of first-round byes (157 & 174), LHU went 7-1 in first round action. Of those seven wins, Lock Haven recorded three pins, a major and a tech fall. The early dominance saw nine Bald Eagles land in the semifinals where LHU went 7-2 with a pin, tech fall and one major. The seven EWL finalists marked the most ever at an EWL Tournament for Lock Haven. Fehlman, the top-seed at 133, rolled to a 3-0 record and the title. In the finals, he put forth a remarkable individual effort that led to a workmanlike 3-2 (SV2) win over Rider's Anthony Cefolo, the No. 3 seed. Fehlman, who just wouldn't stop, forced a stall call for the win. Since returning to 133 pounds on January 25, Fehlman has jumped into the national rankings and stretched his record to 10-1. Shoop opened his tournament in familiar fashion and racked up another tech fall. For Shoop, the top-seed at 141, the tech fall was his Division I leading 15th of the season. The nationally-ranked 141-pounder added a major in the semifinals and booked his spot in the finals. In the finals, Shoop led 11-0 after one period and cruised to a 13-0 major decision over Edinboro's Carmine Ciotti, the No. 3 seed. Klucker, the No. 2 seed at 157, drew a first-round bye, before downing No. 3 seed Gino Fluri of Rider, 4-1 in the semifinals. In the finals, Klucker was looking to defend his 2018 EWL title and he did just that. The win came in thrilling fashion, as he pinned No. 1 seed Kolby Ho (1:29) and booked a return trip to nationals while he was at it. Ho majored Klucker back in November during the dual at LHU. For Klucker, he has won two straight 157-pound EWL titles, earning falls in the finals on both occasions. Marsteller, the top-seed who is ranked No. 5 nationally, cruised into the finals thanks to back-to-back pins. In the 165-pound finals, Marsteller, a returning All-American, put on a clinic in recording a major decision. Rider's Jesse Dellavecchia, the No. 2 seed who is ranked 15th nationally, was no match for Marsteller, who won 12-3. Marsteller's two pins came at the 1:21 and 5:54 mark. Hazel, the top-seed at 184 used a pair of dominant decisions to earn his spot in the finals. The nationally-ranked Hazel entered as the defending champion and left little doubt as to who is the premier 184-pounder in the EWL. In the finals, he downed No. 3 seed Michael Fagg-Daves (Rider), 5-1 after putting the hammer down late in the match, which secured the victory and trip to Pittsburgh for nationals. Haines, the No. 2 seed at 285 who is nationally-ranked, went 3-0 on the way to the title today. The three wins extended Haines' win streak to 11 bouts. In the finals, he knocked off top-seed and EWL rival Matthew Voss of George Mason. Haines won 7-4 after a dominating second-period ride and late third-period takedown. Back in late November, Voss downed Haines in the regular season EWL dual. The finals' wins for Fehlman, Marsteller and Hazel proved extra valuable as they served as head-to-head matches with Rider, who was Lock Haven's main threat in the team standings entering the championship session tonight. Werner, the top-seed at 125, used a pin and tech fall to earn his spot at the finals. In the finals, the nationally-ranked 125-pounder was edged out by archrival Willy Girard, the No. 3 seed from Bloomsburg, 9-8 (TB2). Werner, who is ranked in both recent editions of the NCAA coaches' panel rankings and RPI, will await the NCAA selection show to see if he receives a wild card selection for the NCAA Championships. Port rattled off three wins on the way to his third-place finish at 149 pounds. The redshirt-freshman was 3-1 on the day and ripped off two wins in the consolation rounds after falling in the semifinals. Siegrist bounced back from a tournament-opening loss in the semifinals and finished third. He was 2-1 on the day. UP NEXT: The 2019 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships are set for Thursday to Saturday, March 21-23 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. As far as additional NCAA Championship selections for LHU, the NCAA Division I Wrestling Committee will announce the remaining 44 at-large qualifiers on March 12. The 2019 championship brackets and seeding will be announced on NCAA.com at 6 p.m. on March 13. Shoop, Klucker, Marsteller, Hazel and Haines all competed at last year's NCAA Tournament. Fehlman (2017 NCAA qualifier) joins Klucker, Marsteller and Hazel as LHU's two-time NCAA qualifiers, while both Shoop and Haines have become three-time national qualifiers for Lock Haven.

Lehigh claimed its second straight EIWA title (Photo/Richard Warnke) VESTAL, N.Y. -- Powered by a total team effort, the Lehigh wrestling team battled through a competitive team race to claim its second straight EIWA championship Saturday at Binghamton's Events Center. The Mountain Hawks trailed Cornell by 20 points at one point during Saturday's morning session but came back to win their second straight team title and league-best 36th overall. Led by three individual champions: freshman Josh Humphreys (157), junior Jordan Kutler (174) and sophomore Jordan Wood (285), Lehigh scored 153 points to top the Big Red by 14. Nine wrestlers placed in the two-day tournament, with all nine finishing in the top six. The Mountain Hawks went 6-3 in Saturday's final session and locked up the title when Cornell failed to get a fall in the 184 finals. In all, Lehigh qualified eight wrestlers for the upcoming NCAA Championships in Pittsburgh. "I'm proud of our team," Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro said. "They competed really hard and that's all I could really ask of them. We have a lot of great competitors on our team and they came out on top. We just wanted to wrestle well, and we did." Humphreys helped turn the tide in Lehigh's favor Saturday on the way to becoming Lehigh's first true freshman EIWA Champion since Randy Cruz in 2013. Cornell placed three in the finals at the first three weight classes, while Lehigh dropped its first two semifinals as the Big Red led by 20 after the 149 semifinals. Humphreys locked up Lehigh's first finals berth using a strong start and strong top work to beat Princeton's Quincy Monday 13-8. Wrestling in Lehigh's first finals bout of the final session, Humphreys looked to avenge a loss by fall to Bucknell's Zach Hartman, and did just that with a pair of first period takedowns and a four-point near fall where he nearly stuck the Bison freshman for a fall. Reversals in the second and third periods gave Humphreys a 12-6 decision and Lehigh its first champion of the tournament. "Josh wrestled a really tough opponent in Hartman so that was a really good win for him," Santoro said. "The three freshmen in that weight class (Humphreys, Hartman, Monday) are going to have great careers. It will be exciting to watch those guys moving forward. Josh competes really hard. He's good in all positions, and he's dangerous." Humphreys received the Sheridan Trophy after the finals for the most falls in the championship bracket in the fastest time, racking up two falls on Friday in 3:50. Following an 8-1 decision over Navy's Spencer Carey in the semifinals, Kutler claimed his second straight EIWA title with a 3-1 decision over Cornell's Brandon Womack. A late second period takedown was the difference for Kutler, who helped Lehigh inch closer to clinching the team title. Wood had to do the least to win his second straight title. After beating Ben Sullivan 6-2 in the semifinals, Wood received a win by medical forfeit over Brown's Ian Butterbrodt in the heavyweight final. Senior Ryan Preisch was Lehigh's fourth finalist, earning a spot in the finals by rallying for a 5-3 win over Binghamton's Lou DePrez in the semifinals at 184. Preisch trailed 3-2 in the third before scoring a takedown and then riding out to win. Preisch met Cornell's Max Dean in a rematch of last year's final, won by Preisch by fall, but Dean turned the tables, using a strong ride, a stalling point and an escape to win 3-0. Ultimately, Dean's inability to secure a pin clinched the team title for the Brown and White. "Cornell did a good job game-planning for those two head-to-head finals matches," Santoro said. "It gives us something to work on when we get back. We need to open up a little more on both guys parts, so we'll work on that over the next two weeks." Preisch did earn the Fletcher Award, given to the wrestler who scores the most team points at the EIWA Tournament in his career. Preisch scored 74.5 points placing 3-2-1-2 in four tournaments. He becomes the sixth wrestler to win all three major tournament awards (Fletcher, Sheridan and Coaches' Trophy for Outstanding Wrestler), having won the latter two last year. The previous five to accomplish the trifecta were Lehigh's Mark Lieberman, Gene Mills from Syracuse, Harvard's Jesse Jantzen and Kyle Dake and Gabe Dean from Cornell. Sophomore Brandon Paetzell bounced back from a semifinal loss to American's Josh Terao to claim third place at 133. Paetzell rallied for a 5-2 win over Penn's Doug Zapf and then topped Zack Trampe of Binghamton 7-1 in the third place match. Senior Gordon Wolf won three matches on Saturday to wrestle back for third at 165, highlighted by a first period fall against Princeton's Leonard Merkin. A 1-0 win over Army's P.J. Ogunsanya vaulted senior Cortlandt Schuyler into the third place match at 149. Schuyler ran into top seed Matt Kolodzik of Princeton, who posted a 13-3 major decision. Consolation semifinal victories for Paetzell, Wolf and Schuyler clinched NCAA Tournament berths for all three. Lehigh's eighth NCAA qualifier is sophomore Jake Jakobsen who wrestled back from a quarterfinal loss to take fifth at 197. Jakobsen rode out the third period to defeat Army's Rocco Caywood 2-0 in the consolation quarterfinals to punch his ticket and capped his tournament with a 4-2 win over Army's Drew Phipps. At 141, junior Ryan Pomrinca clinched top six by scoring a takedown in the second sudden victory period to beat Princeton's Marshall Keller 4-2, but then dropped his next two matches to finish in sixth place. "Any time you win this tournament, it has to be a total team effort," Santoro said. "It's not just a few stars. Everybody won matches. Eight guys are going to nationals right now. It was a great team effort. "If you asked me in December if we could do this when we were 0-7…" Santoro continued. "The guys got better. We never focused on a win after that. It kind of put things in perspective for everybody, and everybody got better. That was the key." Lehigh's eight automatic qualifiers will now move on to the NCAA Championships, March 21-23 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. At-large qualifiers will be announced Tuesday, while the seeds and brackets will be unveiled Wednesday. The 2018-19 Lehigh wrestling season is presented by the Historic Hotel Bethlehem.

Missouri won its eighth straight conference title (Photo/Missouri Athletics) NORFOLK, Va. -- No. 5 Mizzou Wrestling claimed its eighth straight conference tournament title after winning the Mid-American Conference Championship with 180.0 team points Saturday afternoon at the Ted Constant Convocation Center. Mizzou claimed six conference titles as all six wrestlers who advanced to the finals won their championships bouts. All 10 Mizzou wrestlers finished fourth or better, with nine of 10 taking at least third. Mizzou also broke its own championship record with 180.0 team points, topping the mark set by last year's team (177.0). Mizzou's six individual MAC champions are: RS senior John Erneste - 133 - Third Career Title RS junior Jaydin Eierman - 141 - Third Career Title Freshman Brock Mauller - 149 - First Career Title Freshman Jarrett Jacques - 157 - First Career Title RS senior Daniel Lewis - 174 - Fourth Career Title RS junior Dylan Wisman - 184 First Career Title All six earn automatic spots to the NCAA Championships. After two pins and a technical fall, Eierman was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler. He won his third MAC title Saturday. Lewis became just the eighth wrestler to earn four MAC Championships and first to do so since J'den Cox did so. Erneste and Eierman each earned their third MAC titles. Team Scores Missouri - 180.0 Buffalo - 113.5 Old Dominion - 113.0 Central Michigan - 110.5 Ohio - 99.5 Northern Illinois - 98.0 SIU Edwardsville - 68.5 Kent State - 64.0 Notes Mizzou claimed its seventh straight MAC Tournament title and its eighth straight conference title dating back to its final year in the Big 12. Mizzou racked up 180.0 total team points, the best in MAC Tournament history. Mizzou won six individual titles Saturday with all six of those wrestlers clinching a spot at the NCAA Championships. Mizzou also clinched spots to the NCAA Tournament at 125 and heavyweight based on the league's allocations. Mizzou will need wild cards at 165 and 197 in order to send all 10 to the NCAA Championships. Freshman Dack Punke picked up his first pin of the season in his first consolation match, pinning Shakur Laney of Ohio in 3:13 to advance to the third-place bout. He finished fourth on Saturday and earned his first berth to the NCAA Tournament. RS senior John Erneste claimed his third MAC Championship Saturday. RS junior Jaydin Eierman became a three-time MAC Champion as well. RS senior Daniel Lewis extended his personal win streak to 16 bouts, earning 10 pins during that stretch. With his 11-2 major decision Saturday in the finals, becomes just the eighth four-time MAC champion in league history and first since Mizzou's J'den Cox did so in 2017. Freshman Brock Mauller, with his title win, now has 29 wins in his true freshman campaign, the most for a Mizzou freshman grappler since J'den Cox had 38 in 2013-14. Mauller's only two losses of the season have come to the same wrestler.

Mark Hall is one of eight semifinalists for Penn State (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- No. 1 Penn State (14-0, 9-0 B1G) had an impressive morning in Minnesota, roaring in the opening session of the 2019 Big Ten Championships in Minneapolis. Head coach Cael Sanderson's squad sits in first place after the opening session of the two-day event at the University of Minnesota's Williams Arena. All rankings listed are InterMat as of Feb. 26. The Nittany Lions moved eight wrestlers through to Saturday night's semifinals. All eight have also secured bids to the 2019 NCAA Wrestling Championships in Pittsburgh on March 21-23. One Lion is still alive, with a bit more work to do to earn a trip to nationals and can still finish as high as third, and one Lion ended his season during the opening session. Sophomore Devin Schnupp (Lititz, Pa.) made his first ever appearance at the Big Ten Championship at 125. Schnupp took on fifth seed and 12th-ranked Travis Piotrowski of Illinois in his first match and dropped a 17-0 technical fall. He then took on Rutgers' Shane Metzler in his first consolation bout and lost a 6-1 decision. The loss ends Schnupp's tournament and his season. The Lion sophomore posted a 6-16 record this year, including picking up his first Big Ten dual meet victory. True freshman Roman Bravo-Young (Tucson, Ariz.), ranked No. 12 nationally at 133 and the fourth seed, made his Big Ten tournament debut against Nebraska's Jevon Parrish. Bravo-Young took an early 6-2 lead with three first period takedowns, added three more in the second and rolled to an 18-5 major with 2:26 in riding time. Bravo-Young then met No. 7 Luke Pletcher of Ohio State in the quarterfinals. Bravo-Young drew first blood and led 2-1 after the opening period. Pletcher answered with a takedown and two back points to lead 6-3 after two periods. The Buckeye added another takedown in the third and posted the hard-fought 8-5 win, sending Bravo-Young into consolation action in session two. Sophomore Nick Lee (Evansville, Ind.), ranked No. 2 at 141 and the second seed at the tournament, had a first round bye. He met No. 16 Max Murin of Iowa in the quarterfinals and opened up an early lead with two first period takedowns. Murin cut the lead to 4-3 with an escape in the second period, but Lee got an escape, a penalty point and a takedown in the third to roll to the 8-3 victory. The win advances Lee to the semifinals in session two and punches his ticket to the NCAA Championships. Redshirt freshman Brady Berge (Mantorville, Minn.), ranked No. 13 nationally at 149 and the sixth seed, took on Purdue's Parker Filius in his Big Ten tournament debut. Berge notched two first period takedowns to open up an early lead, picked up another two points in the second period and poured it on in the third to roll to a 12-3 major with 1:43 in riding time. Berge took on No. 9 Pat Lugo of Iowa in the quarterfinals. Berge battled the third seed through a scoreless first period and then took a lead with an escape to start the second and Lugo escaped to start the third, tying the match at 1-1 with less than 1:40 to wrestle. The duo wrestled through one sudden victory period and both escaped in the first tiebreaker. With just :33 left in the second sudden victory minute, Berge deftly slid around Lugo for a takedown and posted the thrilling 4-2 (sv2) win, moving in to the semifinals and earning a trip to the NCAA Championships as a redshirt freshman. Senior Jason Nolf (Yatesboro, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 157 and the top seed, had a first round bye. Nolf met No. 12 Eric Barone of Illinois in the quarterfinals and opened up an early lead with three takedowns and then locked up a cradle on the third. Nolf settled in and picked up the fall at the 2:13 mark to move into the semifinals in session two and secure his ticket to the NCAA tournament in Pittsburgh. Junior Vincenzo Joseph (Pittsburgh, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 165 and the top, had a first round bye. Joseph took on Joey Gunther of Illinois in the quarterfinals and opened up a big lead early with five takedowns in the first period. The Lion junior picked up an escape to start the second and tacked on two more takedowns to lead by ten after two. Joseph added four near fall points and a final takedown to post the dominating 21-6 tech fall at the 5:59 mark, moving in to the semis and punching his ticket to the NCAA tournament. Junior Mark Hall (Apple Valley, Minn.), ranked No. 1 at 174 and the top seed, had a first round bye. Hall faced off against Drew Hughes off Michigan State in the quarterfinals and opened up a big early lead with two quick first period takedowns. Hall then locked Hughes up at the shoulders, took him took the mat and quickly pinned him at the 2:38 mark. Halls dazzling move moves him into the semifinals and punches his ticket to the NCAA tournament. Senior Shakur Rasheed (Coram, N.Y.), ranked No. 2 nationally at 184 and the second seed, had a first round bye. He met No. 20 Cameron Caffey of Michigan State in the quarterfinals and took a big early lead with a takedown and four back points. He dominated the first period on top, keeping Caffey down for the bulk of the period to collect over 2:00 of riding time after one period. Rasheed added a takedown in the second, chose top to start the third and quickly locked up a cradle to pin Caffey at the 5:17 mark. Rasheed's win moves him into the semifinals and earns him a trip to the NCAA tournament. Senior Bo Nickal (Allen, Texas), ranked No. 1 at 197 and the top seed, drew a first round bye. He took on Michigan State's Brad Wilton in the quarterfinals and blew the match open early. Nickal notched two takedowns, picking up four near fall on the second. After a reset out of bounds, the Lion spent the rest of the period working on top and had nearly 3:00 of riding time and a seven-point lead after one period. Nickal picked up two more takedowns and two back points in the second and then finished bout early in the third with two more takedowns. Nickal posted the 19-4 tech fall at the 5:34 mark, moves into the semifinals, and earns a trip to NCAAs. Senior Anthony Cassar (Rocky Hill, N.J.), ranked No. 3 at 285 and the second seed, met Purdue's Jacob Aven in the opening round of his first Big Ten tournament. He picked up three first period takedowns, one in the second and then a final one in the third period. The Lion added 2:25 in riding time and posted the 12-4 major. He took on No. 13 David Jensen of Nebraska in the quarterfinals and opened up an early lead with a first period takedown. He picked up an escape and a takedown in the second and then added a final takedown and 3:48 in riding to roll to an 8-4 win. The victory moves Cassar through to the semifinals and earns him a trip to his first NCAA Championship tournament. Penn State went 3-1 with three majors in its four first-round bouts, 8-1 in the quarterfinals and 0-1 in consolation action to post an 11-3 record on the day. The Nittany Lions tallied 12 bonus points off three majors, two tech falls and three pins.
