For a second straight match, the Eagles took wins in six of 10 weight classes. No. 7 Kizhan Clarke (149) set the tone early with four first-period takedowns against Binghamton's Matt Swanson. The margin got closer later on but Clarke held on for a 12-8 win. Ethan Karsten (157) trailed Dylan Wood by a slim total for much of his match, but scored a late takedown and came away with the 7-6 win. Keeping AU in the win column was Tim Fitzpatrick at 165. He scored an early six-point combo of takedown and back points to lead 6-1 after the first period. The lead held and Fitzpatrick went on to defeat Binghamton's Jacob Nolan, 10-7. Another close match followed with Conner Allshouse (174) against Aidan Monteverdi. Allshouse trailed after two periods but went up in the third on a takedown, 4-3, and got the crowd into it later on, breaking a 4-4 tie with a late takedown for a 6-4 win. Binghamton's top wrestler, No. 5 Lou DePrez, got the best of No. 23 Tanner Harvey with an 8-5 decision despite a strong comeback attempt by Harvey in the third period. The Bearcats came within three points after a win at 285, but No. 24 Gage Curry picked up another AU win at 125. He took a 6-0 lead into the third period and won easily, 7-1. Binghamton's Zack Trampe got the score tied 15-15 with one match left after winning by fall for six points. Profaci had an early takedown that was challenged but confirmed, and he led 2-0 after the first period. It was then just a 2-1 lead heading into the third, but Profaci prevailed in an exciting finish, 3-2. HEAD COACH TEAGUE MOORE "I would sum up this whole effort as a 10-man effort. We talked about it before we walked onto the mat that last night we kind of defeated ourselves in the four matches we lost by giving up big bonus points. Every guy tonight needed to do their part and in the end it absolutely shows. You've got multiple nationally ranked guys in both lineups. Kizhan struggled a little bit and came away with the decision. Their guy at 184 only came away with a decision. It goes to show that everybody was fighting, and I'm really proud of how our 10 guys stood up tonight." Results: 149: No. 7 Kizhan Clarke (AU) dec.

The Cleveland State University wrestling team dug itself a huge early hole, but the Vikings did not give up and rallied to claim a thrilling 16-15 victory at Kent State Saturday evening at the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center. The Vikings took a four-point lead into the final match, but the team outcome was still in doubt in the final seconds of the bout as Kent State had a chance to tie the dual with a major decision. However, redshirt freshman Riley Smucker was able to avoid the worst-case scenario to ensure a CSU victory. The win over Kent State is the first for Cleveland State since the 2003-04 season, although the programs have not faced each other every season in that time. Kent State opened up a 10-0 lead after the opening three matches as the dual started at 174 pounds. Based on recent history, the Vikings did not have much reason for promise at heavyweight as redshirt sophomore John Kelbly was facing an opponent he lost to via major decision earlier this season. However, Kelbly flipped that script and flipped the momentum of the dual. Starting in the top position to begin the second period, Kelbly registered 10 near-fall points in the period to take a 10-2 lead after five minutes. The referee had initially awarded Kelbly a pin but then changed his decision to keep the score at 10-2. While Kelbly did not score any further points in the third, he held on for a comfortable, five-point win. True freshman Logan Heil took an early lead at 125 pounds with a first-period takedown and build up a sizeable amount of riding time in the opening frame. That would prove crucial when he earned a riding time point at the end of the bout to break what would have been a 4-4 tie. Redshirt senior Justin Patrick was tasked with taking on a top-20 opponent at 133 pounds with the Vikings trailing, 9-6. The bout was tied, 1-1, in the third period, but the KSU wrestler was able to secure a takedown that looked as though it would be the difference. However, Patrick did not give up. After escaping, he posted a takedown with fewer than five seconds remaining to claim an unlikely 4-3 win. Redshirt senior Evan Cheek continued his winning ways with a major decision shutout. His 10-0 win gave the Vikings the lead in the team score for the first time during the dual. After a Kent State win via decision at 149 pounds cut CSU's lead to one, redshirt junior Nico O'Dor took to the mat for CSU. With O'Dor leading 1-0 and starting in the top position in the third period, he rode his opponent for well over a minute to secure a crucial point of riding time. O'Dor went on to claim a 2-1 victory. Smucker had a lead after the first period at 165 pounds, but things changed in the second frame. After his opponent notched a reversal, Smucker was in trouble on his back, but he did well to avoid a fall and continue the bout. Kent State took a 10-4 lead in the third period, and was only two points away from getting its needed major decision. However, Smucker secured a late escape that essentially secured a team victory for CSU as he kept his loss to just three points. Cheek secured his team-leading 30th win of the season as he moved to 30-3. He remained undefeated in duals (9-0) and has 17 bonus-point wins. Patrick's 15th win came against the third-ranked wrestler in the MAC while Heil notched his 20th win, including a 6-1 mark in the MAC. O'Dor claimed a win over the Golden Flashes in dual action for the second straight season. Cleveland State moved to 8-3 with the win, with CSU's eight wins tying for the highest figure by the program in the past 13 years.

Navy won the first three and the final three matches of the dual to secure its second victory in as many days (24-21 at American on Friday). "Grit, determination and resiliency is how I would sum up today's win against Drexel. The team had some factors that did not work in our favor and for the most part, I was pleased with the performance under those circumstances," said sixth-year Navy head coach Joel Sharratt. "We had to wrestle every match and work very hard and disciplined to score our points - they came prepared and ready to fight. In areas where we made mistakes, they where quick to try and capitalize and in a couple instances it cost us match points and team points. "The focus is improvement every week going forward, keeping the laser sharp on the goals we have ahead of us. I am proud of the staff in the ways they are motivating and inspiring the individuals they each work with as it is showing up in our skills and competitive fire. These guys showed a hunger and swagger that has been building throughout the season and it was great to see some nontraditional guys in the lineup stepping in and scoring big points for this team. The aggressiveness needed to win big matches was evident in today's bouts and the composure to fight to our positions and keep scoring points no matter what the scoreboard said sets today's performance apart from some past performances."

CHAPEL HILL -- No. 8 North Carolina won a pair of duals in Carmichael Arena this weekend as a part of the team's 2020 Alumni Weekend. The Tar Heels (11-1, 2-0 ACC) knocked off Duke, 44-3, on Friday night, followed by a 25-9 win over Bucknell on Saturday afternoon. Against the Blue Devils, the Tar Heels stormed out of the gate and never looked back. Duke forfeited the 125-pound match – and after three straight pins from Jaime Hernandez, No. 10 Zach Sherman and No. 4 Austin O'Connor, the Tar Heels were out to a 24-0 lead after the first four weights of the night. No. 11 Kennedy Monday notched a tech fall win against the Blue Devils, while Joey Mazzara and Brandon Whitman both won via major decision to secure the home Friday night win for Carolina. With those victories, seven of Carolina's eight wins in contested bouts were won with bonus points. Against the Bison on Saturday, Joey Melendez got the Tar Heels started with another home dual meet win, this time a 5-3 decision over Geo Barzona.

PHILADELPHIA -- The University of Pennsylvania wrestling team opened Ivy League play with a pair of big victories on the road. On Saturday, the Quakers started the day with a 19-19 win by criteria against Brown, then capped off their road trip with a 22-19 victory against Harvard. The doubleheader sweep moves Penn to 5-4 overall and 4-1 in EIWA duals. The Quakers are also now 2-0 to start Ivy League play. NOTES *Penn won 11 matches today, with Doug Zapf, Lucas Revano, Neil Antrassian, and Cole Urbas each winning both of their bouts. *With the two victories today, Zapf moved to 20-5 on the season. He has won each of his last nine matches, each of his last seven duals, and is now 11-0 against EIWA grapplers. *Cole Urbas has been nearly unstoppable as of late. He won both of his matches today, including a first-period pin in his bout against Harvard. Urbas has won his last seven dual matches, with three of those victories earning him bonus points. *Revano marked his day with a pair of wins. Competing with Jon Errico for the starting spot at 149 pounds, he gained some solid footing. In his second match of the day, he earned a 13-3 major decision against the Crimson's Aaron Kruk. *Antrassian has been tough to beat over the last two weeks. Against Harvard, he tallied some crucial bonus points with a 22-7 tech fall. HOW IT HAPPENED: Brown The meet started at 141 pounds, with No. 19 Zapf stepping up to the task. He wasted no time, jumping out to a quick 4-1 lead after a pair of first-period takedowns. An escape, a pair of takedowns in each of the second and third periods, and riding time earned him a 14-5 major decision to push the Quakers out to an early 4-0 lead. Revano kept things going in a tight and hard-fought match at 149 pounds. With the match tied 1-1 after a pair of escapes, Revano battled from bottom to pull off a clutch reversal with less than a minute remaining to take a 3-1 lead. Brown's Ricky Cabanillas quickly escaped to keep the match interesting, but Revano showed some great defensive wrestling to secure the decision. Brown responded at 157 pounds, with the Bears' Jack Bokina battling Cam Connor for a 10-1 major decision. The loss was Connor's first in a dual this season. Brian Krasowski then got the call at 165 pounds. He stormed out to a 7-1 lead in his first dual of the season. Looking for bonus points, he cut the Bears' wrestler loose. Kiran Srikanth took the opportunity to storm back and got a takedown to make it 7-4, but Krasowski held on to secure riding time and take an 8-4 decision and get the Quakers back on track and in front, 10-4. At 174, Antrassian won his third consecutive dual. Two first-period takedowns put the sophomore in control, as he held on for a 5-3 victory. Urbas took the mat at 197 pounds with the Quakers needing to bounce back. He stormed out to a 10-0 lead after the first three minutes with a takedown and loads of back points. The Bears wrestler battled back to cut the match to 10-6, but Urbas stood tall to take a 13-9 decision. The victory gave Penn a 16-10 lead. Nate Hoaglund made his dual debut in the heavyweight match. He got off to a great start, turning an ankle pick into a takedown for a quick 2-0 lead. Thomas Mukai responded quickly, escaping then taking Hoaglund to the mat for a 3-2 lead. Hoaglund responded with the same sequence, as an escape and takedown put him in front, 5-4 heading into the final period. Mukai quickly escaped after starting bottom, but Hoaglund got his third takedown of the match with a single leg to all but secure the win. In the dual's penultimate match, Michael Colaiocco made his return to wrestle at 125 pounds. With Brown's Trey Keeley coming out hot, Colaiocco quickly found himself down 6-1 following a near fall at the end of the first period. Colaiocco fought back with an escape and a pair of takedowns to tie the bout at 6-6 late in the third period. Attempting to win the match in regulation, The freshman cut Keeley loose and immediately went for the match-winning takedown. Although he came close, he was unable to connect and dropped the dual, 7-6. Already with six wins, Penn elected to forfeit the 133-pound match, most likely with the evening's dual against Harvard in mind. Although the forfeit tied the match at 19-19, Penn won the tiebreaker for its third consecutive EIWA victory. HOW IT HAPPENED: Harvard Once again, Zapf got things going with a win at 141 pounds. In a tight, low-scoring match, Zapf's third-period takedown was the deciding factor which led to a 3-2 victory to get the Quakers off on the right foot. Revano kept the engine revving at 149. Up 7-3 late in the third period, the freshman pulled a huge six-point move to earn a 13-3 major decision and extend the Quakers lead to 7-0. However, Harvard would claw back to tie the dual. Hunter Ladiner scored a 13-1 major decision against Cam Connor before Phillip Congliaro defeated Krasowski 11-4 to even things at 7-7. The Quakers badly needed a win to stay on track in the 174-pound bout, and Antrassian delivered in a big way. The sophomore set the tone in the first quarter as a trio of takedowns and a nearfall gave him an 10-2 lead. Two more takedowns in the second made it 14-4, then an escape, three takedowns, and riding time caused this one to end early. The 22-7 tech fall gave Penn a 12-7 lead. John Stout dropped the next match -- a tepid one where the only points came from an escape, a penalty, and riding time -- which brought Harvard within two. With the Crimson within striking distance, it was vital that Urbas filed a big response from the Red and Blue. With the sophomore undefeated in his last seven matches, he came up in a big way. Urbas quickly snagged a Harvard leg for a takedown before rolling the Crimson grappler onto his back for four near fall points. Urbas reset, then rocked the wrestler back onto his back for a first-period pin to give the Quakers some breathing room with an 18-10 lead. Nate Hoaglund engaged in a fierce battle with 10th-ranked Yaraslau Slavikouski in the heavyweight bout, but was ultimately dropped, 11-5. The result cut Penn's lead to 18-13 and had the Crimson breathing down Penn's neck. Colaiocco once again got the call at 125 pounds. With the 133 match already decided to be forfeit and the Quakers holding a five-point lead, he would have to come up with something big. The freshman did just that. Up 7-3 late in the third period, The freshman pulled some ridiculous moves for a pair of takedowns and riding time to clinch a 12-4 major decision. Penn 19, Brown 19 125: Trey Keeley (Brown) def.

Though Brown began the meet with three straight wins including one with a bonus point for a major decision, the Tigers took seven straight wins to finish out the match and overcome that 10-0 Brown lead. Grant Cuomo started the run with the afternoon's only fall, pinning Kiran Strikanth at 165, and then Kevin Parker, Travis Stefanik, Patrick Brucki, Aidan Conner and Patrick Glory had five consecutive majors to put the match out of reach. Ty Agaisse closed with a decision win.

GREELEY, Colo. -- North Dakota State won six bouts including a fall, a major decision and a pair of overtime wins to defeat Northern Colorado 25-12 in a Big 12 Conference dual on Saturday, Feb. 1 in Bank of Colorado Arena. NDSU (5-3, 2-1 #Big12WR) is scheduled to wrestle Utah Valley (1-9, 0-6 #Big12WR) at 8 p.m. Central Time on Monday, Feb. 3, in Orem. No. 10-ranked 133-pounder Cam Sykora (9-3 overall, 5-2 duals) had to rally for a 12-10 sudden victory-1 decision over Northern Colorado No. 17 Mosha Schwartz. In a high-scoring first period, Schwartz emerged with an 8-6 lead. Sykora came back to tie the score at 9-all in the second and then held the top position for the entire third period. However, Schwartz gained a point on a stalling call, but Sykora's 2:31 of riding time tied things at 10-10. Sykora recorded a takedown with 22-seconds left for the win. Northern Colorado (1-6, 1-3 #Big12WR) jumped out to an early 6-0 lead when 141 Brody Lamb recorded a fall at 1:17.

Mason Parris won by pin to seal the victory for Michigan (Photo/Juan Garcia) NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Sophomore heavyweight Mason Parris used a first-period pin to put the exclamation point on the No. 25-ranked University of Michigan wrestling team's 21-16 win against No. 23 Rutgers in the Big Ten Super Saturday event on Saturday afternoon (Feb. 1) at Madison Square Garden. With the win, the Wolverines improved to 5-1 in Big Ten Conference duals. The Wolverines claimed four of the opening five bouts, but Rutgers won four straight after the intermission break to take a 16-15 lead -- its first of the dual -- heading into the final bout. Parris, ranked No. 2 nationally, scored on a quick single leg, then hit his fireman's carry and transitioned to a half for the fall at 1:17 against Alex Esposito. Parris improved to 22-0 on the season with 14 bonus wins, including eight falls. It was the second time in Big Ten action that he used a pin to clinch a U-M dual win in the final bout. Junior/sophomore Jack Medley set the tone at the lowerweights with a gritty 2-1 decision over 18th-ranked Nicolas Aguilar at 125 pounds. After fighting off a few deep leg attacks in the first period, Medley used a big third-period ride to accumulate 1:16 in time advantage -- the difference in the decision win. It was Medley's fourth win over a ranked opponent this season -- and second time in as many weekends. Michigan coach Sean Bormet (Photo/Juan Garcia)After fifth-year senior Austin Assad just missed on an upset win of his own -- a 4-3 loss to ninth-ranked Sammy Alvarez -- Michigan surged ahead with back-to-back bonus wins at 141 and 149 pounds. Freshman Cole Mattin rolled to an 11-3 major decision over Zach Firestone, breaking the bout open with a six-point move from neutral danger in the second period. He tacked on two more takedowns in the third and rode out the match to secure the bonus point. Senior/junior Kanen Storr, ranked ninth at 149 pounds, earned a 17-1 technical fall against Gerard Angelo and, like Mattin, broke it open with a takedown and back points in the waning seconds of the second period, covering an Angelo throw attempt for two-and-two. He added a five-point near fall off a Rutgers roll-through attempt in the third and, after earning choice after the Rutgers injury time, escaped and sealed the bout with a single-leg takedown at 5:38. Sophomore/freshman Will Lewan, ranked 9th nationally, rounded out the Wolverine winners with a 5-3 decision against Mike Van Brill at 157 pounds. Lewan had to rally from an initial deficit, and, after a second Rutgers stall warning evened the score midway through the third, he finished on a single-leg takedown with just 11 seconds on the board. The Wolverines will wrap up the home portion of their 2019-20 dual schedule next Saturday (Feb. 8), hosting No. 1 Iowa at 8 p.m. at Crisler Center. Tickets are still available through the U-M Ticket Office. Results: 125 -- Jack Medley (U-M) dec. #18 Nicolas Aguilar, 2-1 -- U-M, 3-0 133 -- #9 Sammy Alvarez (RU) dec.

Deron Winn (Photo/Josh Hedges, Getty Images) It's official: former junior college national wrestling champ Deron Winn has been added to the card at UFC 248 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, March 7, 2020. Winn, who won back-to-back NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) titles for St. Louis Community College, Meramec before launching his pro MMA career, will be facing Gerald Meerschaert in a middleweight (185-pound) bout that had been hinted at by both fighters on their social media … and confirmed by UFC to MMA Fighting Thursday. Earlier this week on his social media accounts, Winn had revealed that he would be returning to the Octagon: The 30-year-old Winn brings a 6-1-0 overall record (and 1-1 record in UFC) to this just-announced match, having suffered his first loss in his pro career, coming out on the losing end of a split decision to Darren Stewart at UFC Boston back in October. Meerschaert, 32, also tallied a loss that same month, falling to Eryk Anders in Tampa. The Wisconsin native -- who brings a 30-12 overall record going back thirteen years -- went 1-2 in 2019, with a win over Trevin Giles at UFC on ESPN 4 in August, and a loss to Kevin Holland at UFC Philadelphia to start the year (along with the loss to Anders in October). Winn won't be the only former wrestler to enter the Octagon at UFC 248. Yoel Romero, 2000 Olympic silver medalist and five-time World Championships medal-winner in freestyle for Cuba, is featured in the main event, taking on defending middleweight champ Israel Adesanya for the UFC middleweight title.

Iowa's Michael Kemerer knocked off top-ranked Mark Hall (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Things did not get off to a particularly good start for No. 2 Michael Kemerer (Iowa). He was facing off against three-time NCAA finalist No. 1 Mark Hall (Penn State), and he was thrown to his back within the first thirty seconds. The throw hushed the crowd for a moment, but he was able to roll through. At the end of the exchange, Kemerer was the one who scored the two-point takedown. Obviously it was going to take more than one takedown to upset Hall, but the exchange was really a microcosm for the whole match and perhaps the entire dual between Iowa and Penn State. Whenever Hall scored or pressed forward with his unique brand of flexibility and explosiveness, Kemerer would counter or get the points back with his own offense. Heading into the third period, the former Pennsylvania prep wrestler held a 7-6 lead. He escaped early, then Hall shot for a single and held on for a stalemate. The Penn State wrestler then went for a low shot or ankle pick, and Kemerer plowed him over for the takedown. He then finished out the period on top to ensure the 11-6 win and a new No. 1-ranked wrestler when the next InterMat rankings are released. Kemerer's win helped propel top-ranked Iowa to a 19-17 victory over Penn State on Friday night in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. "I'm not really about proving stuff to anybody but myself," Kemerer said following the match. "I believe if I just keep wrestling and doing what I know how to do, what I have been doing my whole life then I just prove it to myself. It is just work in the room coming out in the match. It is always pushing myself to score and not settling. I've got great partners and great coaches. No matter what you are doing, you have to keep building your lead and keep wrestling." Kemerer and his head coach Tom Brands were certainly in sync when it came to analyzing his style and performance. "We know what he needs to do. He needs to keep wrestling," Brands said. "That was a back-and-forth match, and he stayed in there. He was calm. The last words we say to him are, 'Wrestle your match." Iowa's Spencer Lee cruised to a technical fall at 125 pounds (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) Iowa really needed Kemerer's upset, because up to that point a lot of things were breaking in Penn State's favor. In the opening match of the night, at 125 pounds, No. 1 Spencer Lee (Iowa) got off to his usual hot start. He scored three takedowns, two four-point near falls and a two-point near fall to down Brandon Meredith (Penn State) via a 16-1 technical fall early in the second period. However, the momentum would not last. Per the rankings, the Hawkeyes were favored to win at 133 pounds, but No. 2 Austin DeSanto (Iowa) suffered a leg injury early in the match. He tried to continue, but No. 3 Roman Bravo-Young (Penn State) continued to push the pace. DeSanto eventually was forced to retire, and Penn State put six points on the board early in the dual. Following DeSanto's initial injury timeout, Iowa was docked a team point for control of mat issues. After two matches, Penn State led the match 6-4. In fact, the Nittany Lions would hold the team score lead through the next seven matches. At 141 pounds, No. 2 Nick Lee thoroughly dominated Carter Happel (Iowa). The Hawkeyes went with Happel over the normal starter No. 9 Max Murin. There were rumors throughout the week that former Missouri wrestler Jaydin Eierman mighht come out of his Olympic redshirt for the match. However, that did not materialize. Lee scored seven takedowns in the match against Happel and took home a 20-5 technical fall victory. The victory extended the dual lead to 11-4. No. 3 Pat Lugo (Iowa) got the Hawkeyes back on track with a 6-1 victory over Jarod Verkleeren at 149 pounds. He actually scored more points via stalling points, two, than Verkleeren scored in total. After giving up six points at 133 pounds, Iowa would have liked bonus points in this match. However, Lugo was willing to indulge the Greco-Roman enthusiast in a lot of upper body wrestling that slowed the match. Bonus points or not, Lugo picked up his 100th career win and inched the Hawkeyes to 11-7. At 157 pounds, No. 5 Kaleb Young (Iowa) scored the first four points on the match against Bo Pipher (Penn State). Young spent a lot of time in the second and third periods looking for the claw lift mat return. He has used the maneuver on multiple occasions for back points or falls. Pipher seemed wise and kept himself out of danger. In the end, Young took a 6-1 win. For the second straight match, the Penn State wrestler put up only one match point but did not give up any bonus points. Penn State maintained an 11-10 lead at the intermission. If the No. 1 versus No. 2 match at 174 was the proverbial main event of this dual, then the No. 1 versus No. 2 match at 165 pounds was the co-main event. No. 1 Vincenzo Joseph (Penn State) came into the bout as the top-ranked wrestler, but No. 2 Alex Marinelli had won both of their previous meetings. Those two matches came down to who could win the body lock situations, and in those matches Marinelli owned the hold. On this night, it was Joseph who scored a six-point throw from the position in the second period and nearly scored the fall. Marinelli fought back with a reversal and takedown, but it was not enough. Joseph won the match 7-5 and extended the Penn State lead to 14-10. Following Kemerer's upset at 174 pounds, No. 6 Abe Assad (Iowa) tried to put a stamp on his match against No. 9 Aaron Brooks (Penn State) early. He went for his trusty sag headlock. It looked like it might score for a moment, but Brooks was able to recover position, free his head and score the takedown. From there Brooks went to work. He scored another takedown and reversal and rode tough throughout the contest. He finished with the riding time and a 7-5 victory. Even after Kemerer's win, the Hawkeyes were still behind 17-13. Iowa's Jacob Warner celebrates after beating Shakur Rasheed at 197 pounds (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) Iowa needed to win the final two matches to take the dual. No. 7 Jacob Warner (Iowa) got off to a quick start against No. 18 Shakur Rasheed (Penn State) at 197 pounds. Rasheed eventually got out for the escape, but Warner really made him work for it with several hard mat returns. Warner surrendered another escape in the second, but he scored an escape of his own and held onto the riding time to take a 4-2 victory. Penn State entered the final bout of the night clinging to a 17-16 lead. The match came down to heavyweight. The winner of the bout between No. 3 Anthony Cassioppi (Iowa) and No. 15 Seth Nevills (Penn State) would walk away with the dual victory. Cassioppi came out aggressively and got to a leg. Both wrestlers showed above average athleticism for heavyweights in the ensuing scramble. They both were hopping on one foot at points in the exchange. Nevills appeared to be near a score, but Cassioppi kept his whizzer and scrambled behind. He rode out the rest of the first period on top. Nevills took neutral to avoid more riding, but he could not score in the second. Cassioppi remained in the driver's seat and took a 7-0 decision to ice the dual. "I was just satisfied to do my part," Cassioppi said. "I just wrestled my whole match and wrestled hard. We have a great group of guys. We stayed in our matches. We didn't let the effects of the other matches boil over into our match. We were all focused on what we had to do." At the end of the day, Iowa defeated Penn State in a dual for the first time since 2011. However, they will still have to surpass the Nittany Lions at the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments to accomplish their final goals. After the match, Brands acknowledged the need to move on but also stressed the importance of relishing the victory. "We are moving forward. We are getting on a bus, and we are going to Michigan State," Brands said. "We are going to enjoy this also, because their families are in town, and they get to eat a little bit, take care of their bodies and move forward. But they need to move forward the right way, and part of that is enjoying this." Results: 125: No. 1 Spencer Lee (Iowa) tech fall.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (Jan. 31, 2020) – The Wyoming wrestling team held on to win a hard-fought dual Friday evening over Oregon State, defeating the Beavers on the road, 18-13 to secure the Cowboys' third consecutive dual victory. No. 31 Dewey Krueger's 8-3 victory over Logan Meek at 157 pounds was the deciding win for the Pokes in the final match of the night. "It was a really good experience for us," said Head Coach Mark Branch. "We wrestled a really energized team that we were wrestling at home, in front of their crowd. They came out with a lot more energy than we did. We have to learn to match that. We have to have more energy than our opponents no matter what the situation is or where we're wrestling at. "I like the fact we showed some guts and found a way to win. The bottom line is, it was a battle." The dual started out at 165 with Cole Moody dropping a heartbreaker in sudden victory to Aaron Olmos, 6-4, however, the Pokes responded by rattling off four-straight wins to go up 12-3 in the team score. No. 11 Hayden Hastings started the run with his 6-3 decision over Jackson McKinney. Hastings trailed 2-1 in the second period, but got an escape, followed up quickly by a takedown to take a 4-2 lead into the third. In the final period, Hastings added another takedown and was able to hang on for the win. At 184, Tate Samuelson tallied three takedowns in his 8-3 victory over Colton Beisley. Samuelson also got an escape in the third to go up 5-1 and eventually earned the riding time bonus to end things. Stephen Buchanan at 197 made it three consecutive wins for the Cowboys as he defeated OSU's JJ Dixon, 9-5. The bout was tied 3-3 after the first period with both wrestlers getting an escape and a takedown. After Dixon took a brief 4-3 lead in the second, Buchanan snagged the lead for good with his second takedown of the match and then in the third, recorded a reversal to begin the period and added his third takedown for good measure after a Dixon escape. At heavyweight, 18th-ranked Brian Andrews grinded-out a 2-1 win over Jamarcus Grant. The two were scoreless after two periods, but an escape from Andrews in the third was the difference as he rode Grant out the rest of the period and picked up the riding time bonus. Grant's only score came on the second stalling warning on Andrews. After the Beavers got a major decision at 125 to cut into the Pokes' team lead, 12-7, eighth-ranked Montorie Bridges got the marquee win of the night in a top-15 showdown with Oregon State's 15th-ranked Devan Turner, 7-4. Bridges took a 2-0 lead into the second period before Turner was able to tie things up with a two-point nearfall. However, Bridges was able to get an escape and took a 3-2 lead into the final period. Turner would tie the bout again with another escape before Bridges took the lead for good with his second takedown to go up 5-3 and then earned penalty point, as well as the riding time point. Oregon State would not go away though, getting back-to-back wins at 141 and 149 pounds as 25th-ranked Grant Willits held off Trevor Jeffries' comeback bid, 12-10 and Lane Stigall defeated Jaron Jensen, 9-3 to make the team score, 15-13. Krueger's match got off to a fast start as both he and Meek got a takedown and an escape in the first, however, Meek wouldn't score again as Krueger again scored three points in the second period, followed by Meek's second stalling warning and then the riding time bonus in the third to secure the dual victory for the Cowboys. "Dewey felt it, he came out way too jazzed and was looking for a home run. Halfway through the match I told him 'just wrestle, just score and take a deep breath.' It took him a while to settle down and do his thing and once he did that, it was good. For him to be the only senior in our lineup and to get the win for his team, especially on the road, is hopefully a memory he'll have forever." UW returns home next week now for a pair of Big 12 tilts in Laramie. The Cowboys welcome Fresno State to town Thursday, February 6 for a 7 p.m., match in the UniWyo. The Pokes then welcome Oklahoma State for a 7 p.m., bout Saturday inside the Arena-Auditorium. Results: 165: Aaron Olmos (OSU) dec. Cole Moody (WYO) 6-4, SV-1 174: No. 11 Hayden Hastings (WYO) dec.

FRESNO, Calif. -- The No. 18 Iowa State wrestling team (6-4, 3-1 Big 12) took down Fresno State (7-6, 2-1 Big 12) by a final score of 34-9 on Friday night. The Cyclones took seven of the 10 bouts on the night with all seven ISU victories coming by bonus-point variety (two pins, one forfeit, five major decisions). How It Happened The Cardinal and Gold jumped out to a 20-0 lead over the Bulldogs with four-straight wins to open the dual. The four-match win streak was punctuated by a second-period fall from Jarrett Degen. In his return to the mat, Degen took on Greg Gaxiola of Fresno State. It was a tight match in the second period, tied at 4-4. Degen won the position on a scramble and brought Gaxiola's shoulders to the mat in 4:27 for the pin. After receiving a forfeit at 125 pounds, Todd Small and Ian Parker posted back-to-back major-decision victories at 133 and 141 pounds, respectively. Small used a 12-point third period to push past Gary Joint by 17-4 major decision. In total, Small tallied four takedowns in the match, a reversal and a four-point nearfall to go along with his 2:09 of riding time. Parker posted his eighth-straight victory in a 9-1 major decision against DJ Lloren. Like Small, Parker was dominant in the third period, scoring two takedowns and filling his riding time up to 3:19. Fresno State didn't go quietly. The Bulldogs rattled off three-straight wins at 157, 165 and 174, bringing the dual score to 20-9. Iowa State would go on to claim the final three matches to slam the door on FSU's upset bid. Marcus Coleman got the Cyclones back on track at 184 pounds. After a scoreless first period, Coleman tallied eight points in the second period on a two-point nearfall, a takedown and a four-point nearfall. He added a reversal and another takedown in the third period to secure a 13-2 major decision over Hunter Cruz. At 197 pounds, Joel Shapiro locked in Iowa State's second pin of the night. Shapiro scored in the first period on a dump, followed by a pair of four-point nearfalls. In the second period, he reversed Isaiah Perez and pinned the Bulldog in 4:19. Gannon Gremmel put the finishing touches on Iowa State's win in Fresno. Gremmel racked up eight takedowns as he rolled through Danny Salas by 21-8 major decision.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- The No. 3 Arizona State wrestling team (10-1, 2-0 Pac-12) defeated the Stanford Cardinal, 28-12, Friday night at Desert Financial Arena to finish undefeated at home for the first time since 1992-93. The win extended ASU's current win streak to five and snapped an eight-match win streak for the Cardinal (8-2, 1-1). Seniors Tanner Hall, Josh Kramer, Josh Maruca, Josh Shields and Zahid Valencia, members of Coach Zeke Jones's first recruiting class, were honored in front of the crowd of 1,933 before they competed for the last time at Desert Financial Arena. The 2015 recruiting class was ASU's first No. 1 ranked class since 1988 and the five seniors combine for 437 individual wins thus far in the Maroon and Gold. Jacori Teemer (157) opened the night with a 19-4 technical fall victory over Stanford's Tyler Eischens. It was the second consecutive extra-point win for Teemer, as he pinned his opponent in the dual against Oregon State two weeks ago. Stanford took the win at 165 lbs. in the second sudden victory period. After ASU was assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, the score stood at 4-3 in favor of the Sun Devils. The Valencia brothers earned consecutive bonus-point victories to widen the gap. No. 9 Anthony Valencia (174) notched a 12-4 major decision over Jared Hill before No. 1 Z. Valencia won his matchup by way of a 19-4 technical fall, extending his win streak to 26 matches and finishing 21-1 for his career in Tempe. No. 16 Kordell Norfleet (197) got the upset win over No. 6 Nathan Traxler, earning a 6-4 decision in the second sudden victory period. It was Norfleet's second top-6 upset at Desert Financial Arena this season. Stanford was assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, bringing the team score to a comfortable 17-2 for ASU. In his final appearance at home, Tanner Hall earned a decision over his opponent, good for his 98th career win as a Sun Devil with a chance to reach 100 by the end of next weekend when the team travels to take on Little Rock (2/7) and Missouri (2/9). Brandon Courtney (125) got the third Sun Devil technical fall of the night and his second of the season, beating his opponent 17-2 and giving ASU a 24-2 lead with three matches to go. After dropping the matches at 133 and 141 lbs., the Sun Devils wrapped up the night with a win thanks to Dillon Ulrey (149), who earned a major 13-3 major decision.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- No. 15 Illinois wrestling pushed past Michigan State with an 18-12 victory Friday night at Huff Hall. With the score tied at 12-12 heading into the final two bouts, redshirt sophomore Matt Wroblewski (197) and freshman Luke Luffman (285) were able to pick up wins in the final matches to give Illinois the dual win. The Illini also saw wins on Friday night from senior Travis Piotrowski (133), redshirt junior Dylan Duncan (141), redshirt freshman Danny Braunagel (165) and redshirt senior Joey Gunther (174). Illinois is now 6-3 on the season, 3-2 in Big Ten Duals, and still undefeated at Huff Hall at 4-0. "It was an ugly win," said head coach Jim Heffernan. "Gunther and Wroblewski both showed real guts in their wins. We looked flat at some weights and need to get off bottom at others. Back to practice tomorrow to get ready for Sunday." Senior Travis Piotrowski got Illinois on the board with a win over Garrett Pepple in the 133-pound bout. Piotrowski was sharp in the first period, getting two for a takedown and turning Pepple for a four-point nearfall. Piotrowski would get the riding time point, and win the match in a 7-3 decision. Ranked seventh nationally by FloWrestling, Piotrowski is now 18-2 on the season, including 9-0 in dual bouts. Redshirt sophomore Dylan Duncan followed up with a win at 141-pounds to put Illinois in front. Taking on Matt Santos, Duncan picked up a takedown late in the second period that would prove to be the difference. Duncan, ranked 12th nationally at 141, would take a 3-2 decision, which pushes his record this season to 14-6. Redshirt freshman Danny Braunagel was in control in his 165-pound matchup with Drew Hughes. The 15th-ranked wrestler in the nation at 165, Braunagel picked up two takedowns in both the first and second periods on his way to a 9-2 decision over Hughes. Braunagel is now 17-5 this season, and 4-1 in Big Ten matchups. After Braunagel's win, the dual score was tied at 9-9. Redshirt senior Joey Gunther would come up with a clutch victory in the 174-pound bout. Taking on No. 23 Layne Malczewski, No. 22 Gunther was trailing, 5-3, late in the third, but forced a takedown in the closing seconds of the period to force overtime. Gunther then got a quick takedown at the start of Sudden Victory to win the match, 7-5, and put Illinois back in front of Michigan State, 12-9. Gunther is now 13-4 on the season. After the Spartans took the 184-pound match to even the score, redshirt sophomore Matt Wroblewski faced off against Nick May in a critical matchup at 197. The two wrestlers went into Sudden Victory, tied 1-1, with escape points being the only scores of the match through the first three periods. Wroblewski then picked up the bout-winning takedown midway through Sudden Victory-1, winning the match over May, 3-1. Wroblewski's win put Illinois back ahead of the Spartans, 15-12, going into the final match. After Wroblewski's win, freshman Luke Luffman looked to close out the dual in his matchup with Christian Rebottaro. Luffman scored two in the second with a reversal, and that would prove to be the difference. Tacking on the riding time point, Luffman won the bout, 3-1. and clinched an 18-12 match victory for the Illini. Up next, No. 15 Illinois hosts No. 23 Northwestern at Huff Hall this Sunday, February 2 at 1 p.m. Sunday's matchup against the Wildcats will be Tuff N' Huff day, featuring the second annual arm wrestling competition. The arm wrestling competition will begin at 12 p.m., and the champion will win Air Pods. Results: 125: Logan Griffin (MSU) dec.

STILLWATER -- The 11th-ranked Oklahoma State wrestling team (9-2 overall, 5-1 Big 12) took nine of 10 bouts from the South Dakota State Jackrabbits in its 17th consecutive dual win inside Gallagher-Iba Arena on Friday evening. First-ranked Boo Lewallen kept his perfect season intact with a shutout major decision against No. 11 Henry Pohlmeyer, who ended the Cowboy's season a year ago. After a scoreless first, the Poke escaped in the second and rode out the final period with two four-point turns to seal the 10-0 win. "I like the way Boo Lewallen broke that match open a little bit in the third period," coach John Smith said. "He was a little bit slow on his feet and a little bit conservative. Last year, that guy ended his season in November, so maybe he was just a little bit hesitant or concerned about what he does. You just wrestle smart and you wrestle hard, you finish hard. I did like that he broke the match open in the third period." Also collecting bonus points for the Cowboys was Nick Piccininni with a 17-1 technical fall against No. 19 Daniel Vega. The senior lit up the scoreboard in the first period, securing two takedowns, a two-point nearfall and four-point nearfall, and put the Cowboys ahead early. The win marked Piccininni's third win against a ranked opponent this season and seventh technical fall. Wyatt Sheets nabbed his fifth major decision on the season over Peyton Smith, 11-1, in a bout that featured three third-period takedowns for the Cowboy. Cowboys Anthony Montalvo and Dakota Geer notched back-to-back bonus-point wins for OSU on the evening, too, both against ranked Jackrabbits. No. 15 Tanner Sloan resigned his match to 11th-ranked Geer due to injury after the first period. Montalvo topped No. 14 Zach Carlson with a takedown in the final seconds in a 3-1 decision. "I came here to be the man," Montalvo said. "I see all the guys on my team, and I go in the room every day and see the guys on the wall who are legends of the sport. It's like, you don't go out there hoping to get an upset. I want the fans to think, 'He's going to go out there and put it on him.' I want to earn that expectation from the fans and from myself." A big third period for 133-pounder Reece Witcraft pushed him past Zach Price via decision, 9-4. Dusty Hone followed at 141 pounds and collected a huge takedown with 42 seconds left in the second period and secured a riding time point for a 5-2 victory. Eighth-ranked Travis Wittlake advanced to 11-0 in dual action earning five takedowns in a 14-6 major decision over South Dakota State's Tanner Cook. Joe Smith secured his second dual win in a row against Kelby Hawkins, 9-3, Smith tallied three takedowns and two escapes in his second dual appearance this season. In the final match of the night, Austin Harris fell short to Blake Wolters, 4-3, in a hard-fought bout. The Cowboys return to the mat at 2 p.m. on Sunday to take on the No. 25 Missouri Tigers in a classic Big 8/Big 12 contest.

WEST ORANGE, N.J. -- On a special night for the Army West Point wrestling program, Lehigh was locked in a battle. A second period pin from senior Jordan Kutler helped turn the tide in the Mountain Hawks' favor. Kutler's fall over Ben Harvey broke a 9-9 tie and sparked a four-bout Lehigh run to close the dual as the 12th-ranked Mountain Hawks took down the No. 19 Black Knight 24-9 at West Orange High School's Tarnoff Gymnasium. Army West Point moved its Senior Night dual to West Orange in memory of cadet-wrestler C.J. Morgan, who passed away last summer. Lehigh was tested often by the Black Knights, who split the first six bouts before Kutler's second fall of the season propelled the Mountain Hawks (9-3, 5-1 EIWA) to their eighth consecutive dual win. "Early on, Army came out with a lot of intensity and I don't think our guys understood," Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro said. "West Orange did a great job putting this together. Army is a well-coached team. They have good wrestlers. We knew it would be a battle. They came out fighting, but our second half guys really stepped up. They saw what was happening and made the adjustments." Kutler took on Harvey in a top-15 matchup at 174. Kutler led 3-1 in the second period on the strength of a first period takedown, when he got in on a single leg shot late in the frame, put Harvey in danger and secured the fall at the 4:54 mark. "The fall was huge," Santoro said. "We didn't expect it, since Harvey is a really good wrestler. It was a tight match but Jordan hit a beautiful single and put him on his back. It was nice." Junior Chris Weiler rode the momentum from Kutler's win to his third win over a higher-ranked opponent this month. Weiler scored a first period takedown and second period reversal and used strong work on top to build a 4-0 lead on Noah Stewart at 184. He gave up two penalty points for stalling in the third period, but secured a late reversal and added riding time to win 7-2 and give the Mountain Hawks an 18-9 lead with two bouts remaining. Junior Jake Jakobsen clinched the dual for the Brown and White with a 4-1 decision at 197. Jakobsen rode out the second period and scored an escape and takedown in the third plus riding time to secure the victory. At heavyweight, junior Jordan Wood capped the four bout run with a 4-0 decision over Ben Sullivan. Wood scored a takedown in the final seconds of the first period, rode out the second and escaped in the third. "Chris went out and did a great job," Santoro said. "He's getting better every week. It has been really fun watching him. He can beat you in a lot of different ways now. Jake followed him up wrestling a really tough kid and then Jordan finished up strong. It was a good finish." The dual began at 125 where fifth-ranked junior Brandon Paetzell got Lehigh off to a fast start with a 6-3 decision over Trey Chalifoux. After a scoreless first period, Paetzell scored an escape and takedown in the second, and added a takedown and riding time in the final stanza. "He's an incredible worker and he keeps trying to learn every day," Santoro said of Paetzell. "He's trying to get better. Trying to add things to his offense. He has done a great job." Army West Point (8-3, 2-1 EIWA) won close decisions in the next two bouts to go up 6-3 after three bouts. At 133, Nick Farro took the better shots, but Andrew Wert scored off his first shot for a key early takedown and then rode out the second. Two escapes plus riding time advantage offset a third period takedown as time ran out on Farro's last second takedown attempt as Wert prevailed 5-3. Senior Ryan Pomrinca faced off against another Army reserve as Logan Brown stepped in for Corey Shie at 141. Pomrinca scored the first takedown, but Brown secured the next two to lead 6-5 late. Pomrinca got in on a shot late and was awarded the winning takedown as time expired, but after the two officials conferred, they wiped away the takedown, saying Pomrinca did not have control, and Brown held on for a 6-5 win. In his first action in a month, sophomore Jimmy Hoffman gutted out a 6-5 tiebreaker victory over P.J Ogunsanya at 149 to tie the dual at 6-6. Hoffman scored the only points of the first period on an escape following an injury timeout. An escape and takedown gave Hoffman a 4-1 lead after two, but Ogunsanya picked up a stalling point and an escape before scoring a takedown of his own in the third, with a Hoffman escape sending the match to sudden victory tied 5-5. Following a scoreless sudden victory period, Hoffman escaped eight seconds into the first half of the tiebreaker, then rode out the second half to win 6-5. "That was two wounded guys out there," Santoro said. "Jimmy had been off for a month. He really just got back this week. He was tired but he was working hard. That was just two warriors leaving it all out there." Sophomore Josh Humphreys put the Mountain Hawks up 9-6 at intermission with a 3-0 decision over Lucas Weiland at 157. Humphreys scored a first period takedown and escaped late in the third. Army tied the dual at 9-9 in the first bout after intermission as Cael McCormick won a 7-3 decision over freshman Brian Meyer at 165. The Mountain Hawks will be off from competition next weekend and will return to action on Friday Feb. 14 when they visit Bucknell for a 7 p.m. match. The 2019-20 Lehigh wrestling season is presented by the Historic Hotel Bethlehem. Results: 125 – Brandon Paetzell (Lehigh) dec. Trey Chalifoux (Army) 6-3 133 – Andrew Wert (Army) dec.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The No. 3 Ohio State University wrestling team (9-2, 5-1 B1G) amassed bonus points aplenty in a 43-3 triumph over Maryland (2-12, 0-6 B1G). Ohio State totaled 53 takedowns on the night while surrendering a lone Terrapin takedown. The Buckeyes won nine of 10 bouts, including four tech falls, two major decisions and two pins. After splitting the first two bouts to start the evening, Ohio State rattled off eight consecutive bonus point garnering performances. Luke Pletcher's first period pin sparked the scoring streak with Gary Traub placing the cherry on top in the form of a 24-9 tech fall at heavyweight. The all-time series is now 5-0 in favor of the Scarlet & Gray with a combined team score of 183-30. Prior to the bonus bonanza, Malik Heinselman placed himself in the win column with a 7-2 decision over Brandon Cray in the 125-pound bout. Pletcher executed a short ‘catch and release' stint nabbing four takedowns before turning and sticking Hunter Baxter at the 1:57 mark. The recently-minted No. 2 149-pounder in the country, Sammy Sasso, looked every bit the part. He blitzed Ryan Garlitz for 10 takedowns and an eventual 23-8 tech fall. Quinn Kinner, bumping up to 157 pounds for the first time at the Covelli Center, flashed his turning prowess. He garnered four near-fall points three different times in short succession, leading to a second straight OSU tech fall. Kinner finished off his opponent in just two minutes, 34 seconds. Ethan Smith and Kaleb Romero kept it coming at 165 and 174 pounds, respectively, with major decisions. Romero faced a nationally-ranked foe in Philip Spadafora (#24) and was unfazed as a 13-4 victor. The rout rolled along as Rocky Jordan, Kollin Moore and Traub closed it out with two more tech falls and a Moore pin. Traub's effort included a team-high 11 takedowns.

WEST LAFAYETTE, In. -- The University of Minnesota wrestling program defeated the Purdue Boilermakers 27-12 on Friday night in Holloway Gymnasium in front of 788 in attendance. The Gophers took home seven of the ten bouts, including three by bonus points. Bailee O'Reilly got the first team points on the board for the Maroon and Gold with a 19-5 major decision at 165-pounds over Tanner Webster. O'Reilly scored in a variety of ways, whether takedowns, reversals, or escapes, to earn his first technical fall of the year. Indiana native Brayton Lee ended the night in thrilling fashion with a 7-5 sudden victory in the dual's final bout. After falling behind early, Lee recorded three consecutive takedowns to send the Gophers, and his supporters, home happy. At heavyweight, Gable Steveson also recorded his first technical fall of the season with a dominant 25-10 victory. Steveson put on an offensive showcase with 12 takedowns to notch his fourth ranked victory of the season. Mitch McKee also earned the technical fall with a 16-1 domination of Parker Filius. McKee promptly got a takedown and turn in the first ten seconds before continuing to pour on the offensive points. Owen Webster helped the Gophers retake the dual lead with an 8-6 decision victory over Max Lyon, who defeated him the team's dual last season. Webster got on the board first with a takedown and cradle before holding on for the victory. Garrett Joles earned his first career Big Ten victory heading into intermission with a strong 6-2 decision that featured a pair of takedowns as well as a beautiful reversal. Making his Division-1, Big Ten, and Gophers debut, Boo Dryden earned the 2-1 decision victory. Dryden scored via his third period escape and second period rideout while his opponent only scored due to a pair of stall warnings. In the night's opening match, No.6 Kendall Coleman took home the narrow 3-1 decision over No.22 Ryan Thomas. At 125-pounds Patrick McKee held a 5-3 lead over No.6 Devin Schroder before McKee's knee twisted and the bout flipped.
