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

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

Tyler Eischens gets his hand raised after a 6-1 win over Riley Jacops (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) STANFORD, Calif. -- Falls by Shane Griffith and Dalton Young helped Stanford wrestling secure a 21-19 win over Columbia, Saturday, in the Cardinal's annual outdoor dual inside Football Fan Fest. The bonus-point victories for Griffith and Young were the difference as both Stanford (3-1) and Columbia (0-1) each won five bouts. The Cardinal jumped out to a 15-3 lead, winning four of the first five bouts. Redshirt freshman Tyler Eischens started things off for Stanford with a 6-1 decision over Riley Jacops at 157 pounds. Eischens led 2-1 after the first and rode out Jacops in the second. He added an escape, another takedown and racked up 3:37 in riding time in the win. Griffith followed with a second-period fall over Kyle Mosher at 165 pounds. Ranked eighth nationally, Griffith registered his third pin of the season in 3:57 and remains undefeated on the year at 7-0. True freshman Nick Addison moved to 2-1 on the season with a 9-2 decision over Joe Franzese at 184 pounds. With Addison leading 4-0 after two periods, Franzese chose neutral to start the final frame. Addison added two takedowns in the third and totaled 1:24 in riding time. Redshirt junior Nathan Traxler, who is No. 10 in the nation at 197 pounds, turned in a 13-9 decision over Sam Wustefeld. Traxler led 6-2 after the first, but Wustefeld used a reversal and four near fall points in the second to knot the score at 9-9. Traxler answered with an escape and another takedown in the third. Wustefeld was also hit for stalling in the final period. Young concluded the scoring for the Cardinal, posting a fall in just 1:04 over Trent Svingala at 133 pounds. Young moves to 5-2 on the year with three falls - tying Griffith for the team lead. Stanford travels to Bakersfield for the Roadrunner Open on Sunday before taking its finals break.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- CSU Bakersfield's wrestling team picked up its first win of the 2019-20 season in thrilling fashion. A quick start gave Buffalo an early lead over CSU Bakersfield, but the Roadrunners would tie the score 9-9 just before intermission then win the last two bouts to earn a 16-15 victory in the Icardo Center. Buffalo took the first two bouts at 165 and 174 before Josh Loomer put the `Runners on the scoreboard with a 7-3 decision over the Bulls' Peter Acciardi. The 184-pounder posted his first dual win of the season and handed Acciardi his third loss. Bakersfield's momentum continued to roll with Jarrod Snyder earning a 2-0 decision at heavy-weight as he tied the match 9-9 with five bouts remaining in the contest. Buffalo rallied with wins in the next two bouts, but a strong CSUB finish at 149 and 157 would prove to be too much for the Bulls. In the 149 bout, Russel Rohlfing's 9-1 major decision brought the `Runners within two points heading into the final bout of the match. Wyatt Gerl tallied his first dual win on the year with a decision over Buffalo's Hunter Shaut for the come-from-behind 16-15 victory. CSUB (1-3) returns to the mat for its annual Roadrunner Open on Sunday, Nov. 24. Competition is set to begin at 9 a.m. in the Icardo Center and Old Gym.

LINCOLN -- No. 3 Nebraska (3-0, 0-0 Big Ten) won eight of 10 bouts, including three by bonus points, to defeat Wyoming 28-7 in front of 1,460 fans at the Devaney Center on Friday night. The Cowboys (1-1, 1-0 Big Twelve) got off to a quick start, winning the first two matches of the evening. At 125, Wyoming's Cole Verner defeated Husker redshirt freshmen Alex Thomsen in a three-overtime thriller. Knotted at five at the end of three periods, neither grappler scored in either of the first two overtime periods. Verner earned an escape to open the third overtime period and that proved to be enough, as he recorded a 7-6 victory. No. 7 Montorie Bridges earned a major decision in the subsequent 133-pound bout, defeating Zak Hensley 14-6. Down 7-0, the Huskers then reeled off eight consecutive match victories. No. 7 Chad Red Jr. (141) put forth a workman-like effort to defeat Chase Zollman 5-1. No. 19 Collin Purinton (149) racked up four takedowns to earn an 11-3 major decision over Jaron Jensen, evening the team score at seven apiece. Mark Manning (Photo/GoHuskers.com)Peyton Robb (157) piled up 13 near fall points in a dominant 18-2 technical fall victory over Logan Jensen. At 165, No. 5 Isaiah White did not yield a single takedown and maintained his unbeaten record (5-0), defeating Cole Moody 9-3. The next two bouts featured ranked wrestlers on both sides. No. 3 Mikey Labriola (174) joined Purinton and Robb in scoring bonus points for the Big Red. Labriola defeated No. 20 Hayden Hastings by major decision (10-2) in a match that was decidedly different from their 2018 clash, a 25-point explosion in which Labriola earned a 14-11 decision. At 184, Wyoming's Samuelson scored a takedown late in the third period to take the lead against No. 3 Taylor Venz, but the returning Husker All-American persevered, scoring a reversal and two near-fall points to come out on top 11-8. No. 11 Eric Schultz (197) gave Stephen Buchanan his first loss of the season, defeating the Cowboy freshman 7-6. And in the night's final match, Christian Lance (HWT) avenged last year's loss to No. 14 Brian Andrews. Lance defeated Andrews 3-2 one year after Andrews won by pinfall in Laramie. The Huskers return to action in less than 48 hours when they grapple with the Northern Iowa Panthers on Sunday. Action is set to get underway in the West Gym in Cedar Falls, Iowa, at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Live streaming will be available via FloWrestling (subscription required).

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- North Dakota State won seven of 10 bouts including a pin from 165-pounder Andrew Fogarty and tech fall from 133 Cam Sykora to defeat Indiana University 26-12 in a non-conference dual on Friday Nov. 22 before 1,501 fans in Wilkinson Hall. North Dakota State (2-1, 0-0 Big12) is scheduled to face No. 16-ranked Northwestern (1-1, 0-0 Big Ten) at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24. Sykora, a redshirt senior from Wheaton, Minn., recorded his third tech fall in the matches this season by the score of 15-0 at 4:45. It was the 36th career tech fall for Sykora, who entered the dual ranked No. 7 nationally. The Bison forfeited at 125 pounds, so Sykora helped to cut the deficit to 6-5. The lead went back and forth.. NDSU 141 Sawyer Degen outlasted Kyle Luigs 13-10 to gain the win, but the Hoosiers answered with Graham Rooks' slim 2-1 decision over Jaden Van Maanen at 149 pounds. North Dakota State recorded back-to-back wins at 157, where Jared Franek edged Fernie Silva 5-4, and at 165, where No. 10-ranked Fogarty recorded the fall at 5:28 put the Bison ahead 17-12. Indiana (0-1) won the next bout, but NDSU closed with three straight wins. Noah Cressell, a native of Wabash, Ind., came away with an 8-6 sudden victory-1 decision at 184 pounds, while Cordell Eaton won 12-5 at 197 and No. 26 Brandon Metz stayed perfect with a 3-1 decision at heavyweight.

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

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

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

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

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

FAIRFAX, Va. -- Oregon State took on George Mason in its second dual of the season on Thursday night as the Beavers defeated the Patriots in comeback fashion by a final score of 26-16. The Beavers were down by five points late in the match and would then use five straight victories to close out the dual and earn the hard-fought victory. Redshirt junior Devan Turner moved to 5-0 on the season as he capped off the night with a quick 5-0 decision. Oregon State started things off on a positive note with Grant Willits at 141 pounds cruising to a 16-0 technical fall to put five quick points on the board for the Beavers. At 149 pounds, Conner Noonan used a third period takedown to earn his first decision of the year, 4-3, which improved the team score to 8-0 in favor of Oregon State. The Beavers would then suffer their first defeat of the night at 157 pounds as Logan Meek dropped his bout by technical fall, 22-7. Things would get interesting in the next bout as the Patriots surged ahead with another victory as Aaron Olmos was pinned by George Mason's Neil Schuster (2:15) to lead 11-8. Colton Beisley would then drop a 17-1 technical fall as Oregon State faced an 18-6 deficit with only five bouts remaining. Colt Doyle gave the Beavers positive momentum at 184 pounds as the redshirt junior cruised to a 6-1 decision to inch closer to the lead. J.J. Dixon would keep things rolling for the Beavers as a 13-3 major decision brought the Beavers within one. Dixon used a two-point nearfall in the first period as well as four total takedowns to earn the victory. Next, the heavyweight bout featured Jamarcus Grant earning two takedowns in the third period to help earn a big 7-4 decision which moved the team score in favor of the Beavers, 18-16.

The sophomore collected a late takedown and four-point nearfall for the victory. In the final bout of the night, Devan Turner picked up a quick 5-0 decision which included nearly minutes four minutes of riding time. The win brought Turner to 5-0 on the season and provided the final score of 26-16. Next Up: The Beavers are back on the mats on Saturday as they travel to Annapolis, Md. For the 2019 Navy Classic.

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Junior Garrett Lambert and sophomore Zachary Knighton-Ward recorded Pride wins by fall to lead Hofstra to a 24-12 victory over the Falcons of Air Force in the Pride's dual match home opener at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex Thursday night. Air Force (0-2) jumped out to a 6-0 lead on wins by Tyler Wiederholt at 174 and Jacob Thompson at 184. Pride sophomore Trey Rogers put Hofstra on the board with a 3-0 win over Casey Jumps at 197 before Knighton-Ward posted a dramatic pin of 22nd-ranked Kayne Hutchison with just three seconds remaining in their 285-pound match for a 9-3 lead. Air Force sophomore Sidney Flores tied the match at 9-9 with a 6-0 victory over Matt Templeton at 125. Lambert (2-2) gave Hofstra the lead for good with a pin of sophomore Jared Van Vleet at the 4:01 mark of their 133-pound match. Air Force senior Garrett O'Shea brought the Falcons to within three at 15-12 with a 9-5 win over Hofstra's Vinny Vespa at 141. But that would be the last win for the Falcons on the night as Pride freshman Reece Heller edged fellow rookie Dylan Martinez, 7-6 at 149, older brother sophomore Holden Heller clouted Trey Brisker, 7-1 at 157, and junior Ricky Stamm closed out the match with a 3-1 sudden victory decision on a takedown over 29th-ranked Randy Meneweather.

John Hughes with Pat Santoro (Photo/Lehigh Athletics) BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- John Hughes announced his resignation Wednesday as an associate head coach of the Lehigh wrestling program. Hughes was in the midst of his 12th season on the Mountain Hawks' staff, all of which has been spent working alongside Head Coach Pat Santoro and Associate Head Coach Brad Dillon. "I announced my resignation to the team and explained my decision was due to personal reasons," Hughes said. "I have been honored to be part of Lehigh University's legendary wrestling team and family. I thank Head Coach Pat Santoro for his continuous mentorship, guidance and support for more than a decade. I also thank Lehigh's administrators, staff, student-athletes, families and fans. All have had such a positive impact on my family and I. I also appreciate the continued support of my wife, Melissa and children, Riley and Morgan." "John is a loyal and longtime friend and we've been through a lot together," Santoro said. "He is a tremendous coach, and a big part of the turnaround in Lehigh wrestling in our time here. He has touched many lives and will continue to do so. I understand his decision to take time away from a demanding job to focus on himself and his family. I wish him the best and will miss seeing him on a daily basis." Hughes joined the Lehigh coaching staff in the summer of 2008 and was in his eighth season with the title of Associate Head Coach. A three-time All-American and former NCAA Champion at Penn State, Hughes helped guide the Mountain Hawks to 145 dual wins in 11-plus seasons in Bethlehem, plus back-to-back EIWA team titles in 2018 and 2019 and top ten NCAA finishes in 2011 and 2012. He worked with wrestlers up and down the lineup at Lehigh, but specialized in the middleweights. During his 11-plus year run, Hughes helped mold Brandon Hatchett into a two-time All-American and NCAA finalist at 165 and mentored Mitch Minotti to back-to-back All-America honors at 149 and 157 in 2014 and 2015. In recent years, Hughes has worked with two-time All-American Jordan Kutler and for the last season-plus helped Josh Humphreys win an EIWA title as a true freshman at 157. Hughes' impact was also felt on the recruiting trail where he played a major role Lehigh regularly bringing in recruiting classes that were highly-ranked on a national level. A native of Stillwater, Pennsylvania, Hughes is regarded as one of the toughest wrestlers in Penn State history. He won an NCAA Championship at 142 in 1995 and added All-American honors with a seventh place finish in 1994 and a runner-up finish in 1996. Hughes amassed with 121 career victories for the Nittany Lions. In addition to his national title, Hughes was the 1995 Big Ten Champion and also won a gold medal at the 1994 Pan-Am Games and a University National Freestyle Championship. In five seasons on the coaching staff at Penn State, Hughes made a profound and immediate impact in the training room. Working predominantly with the Nittany Lion middleweights, Hughes helped guide Bubba Jenkins and Dan Vallimont to All-American honors in 2008, while as a team, Penn State crowned four All-Americans and finished third in the team standings, the program's best finish since 1994. Hughes won four PIAA state championships wrestling for Benton High School. He earned his bachelor's degree in landscape contracting from Penn State in 2002.

Iowa's Spencer Lee earned a 13-4 major decision over ISU's Alex Mackall in last year's dual meet in Iowa City (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) On Sunday the No. 2 Iowa Hawkeyes will travel to Ames to take on the No. 9 Iowa State Cyclones. The Cy-Hawk match remains one of the highlights of the college wrestling season even though Iowa has dominated the series recently. Iowa State will bring one of their best lineups from the last few seasons into this match and are probably hoping the home advantage pushes them over the top. The following is a weight-by-weight preview of the dual. 125: No. 1 Spencer Lee (Iowa) vs. No. 7 Alex Mackall (Iowa State) Lee's debut match last weekend against Fabian Gutierrez (UTC) started off as a vintage performance. He scored an early takedown and went to work from the top position. Later in the match he seemed to slow, and Gutierrez put a few points on the board. The final result was a major decision, but the two-time NCAA champion is held to a very high standard. Many Iowa fans were expecting a more dominant performance. Last year Mackall qualified for the NCAA tournament for the first time and finished up in the round of 16. This year he has gotten off to a 4-0 start that includes a first-place finish at the Cyclone Open and a 10-3 dual decision win over Brandon Seidman (Bucknell). The Iowa State situation at 125 pounds was very hectic for an extended period of time, but Mackall has more than settled things down. In the Cy-Hawk dual last year, Lee's performance against Mackall was the first sign that he was not simply going to tech and pin his way through the season. He still won via a dominant 13-4 major decision, but Mackall did a solid job of keeping more bonus points off the board in what turned out to be a very close team match. Look for Lee to turn up the pace early and put on a similarly strong performance. If Mackall can keep this to a regular decision, the Cyclones might consider that a victory. Prediction: Lee (Iowa) major decision over Mackall (Iowa State) 133: Paul Glynn/No. 2 Gavin Teasdale/Austin DeSanto (Iowa) vs. Todd Small (Iowa State) In their first dual of the season, Iowa sent Glynn out to face Wade Cummings of UTC. Glynn fell behind early, but he managed to turn up the volume and walked away with an 11-7 victory. Teasdale's season got started on Saturday at the Luther Open. The former Penn State wrestler finished third with a 6-3 decision loss against No. 4 (DIII) Kristian Rumph (Wartburg). Small redshirted last season and finished 18-5 during the exhibition campaign. He has been starting in place of returning near All-American No. 5 Austin Gomez, who is reportedly coming down in weight. The former NJCAA champion won the Cyclone Open with three straight victories but dropped a 3-1 match against Darren Miller in the dual against Bucknell. Following the UTC match, Brands said that DeSanto "weighed in as basically a 33-pounder," so perhaps he is on the way down to 133. In his debut, he wrestled up a weight at 141 pounds. If he goes here, Iowa could be looking for bonus points. If Glynn or Teasdale goes, it should be a win for Small. The Cyclone owns a 7-3 victory over Glynn from last season, and Teasdale did not look particularly sharp last weekend. Prediction: Small (Iowa State) decision over Glynn (Iowa) 141: Austin DeSanto/No. 8 Max Murin (Iowa) vs. No. 12 Ian Parker/Austin Gomez (Iowa State) As previously stated DeSanto bumped up to 141 pounds for the Hawkeye's season opening dual. He took a 23-4 technical fall over Aiden Murphy (UTC). Murin, last year's starter at this weight, made his debut at the Luther Open. He won his opening bout over Lee Stevie (Loras) and then defaulted out of the tournament. Parker won the wrestle-off against Gomez and got the start for the season opening dual against Bucknell. In that match, he took home a 6-2 decision. Gomez is likely on the way back down to 133 pounds, so this will probably be Parker's weight for the rest of the year. He will be looking to make it onto the podium after qualifying for the first time last year. Once again the result at this weight will depend heavily on who gets the nod. DeSanto would likely be the favorite over Parker, but Murin might struggle to score against the Cyclone. Look for Iowa to stick with a lineup similar to their opening night squad, which means DeSanto coming forward with his aggressive style. Prediction: DeSanto (Iowa) decision over Parker (Iowa State) 149: No. 5 Patricio Lugo (Iowa) vs. No. 4 Jarrett Degen (Iowa State) In his first season as a starter for the Hawkeyes, Lugo put together a 23-10 record and finished eighth at the NCAA tournament to become an All-American for the first time. He made his debut this year in the dual against Chattanooga and picked up a 9-4 victory. Degen also broke through and become an All-American for the first time last year. He finished the season with a 29-8 record. So far this season, he is 4-1 with his only loss coming against No. 3 Max Thomsen (Northern Iowa). Going into the Cy-Hawk match last year, many favored Lugo in this bout. However, Degen broke through with an overtime victory. They met again in the seventh-place match at the NCAA tournament, and Degen picked up his second victory over the Hawkeye. He might simply have Lugo's number at this point. Prediction: Degen (Iowa State) decision over Lugo (Iowa) 157: No. 2 Kaleb Young (Iowa) vs. No. 11 David Carr (Iowa State) Young was a revelation for the Hawkeyes last year. After wrestling up at 165 pounds and even 174 pounds, he moved down to 157 pounds. At the new weight he went 24-7 and finished fifth at the NCAA tournament. That performance as well as some graduations pushed him into the No. 2 spot in the country. Last weekend he scored a major decision victory over former Penn State wrestler George Carpenter (UTC). The 2019 Junior world gold medalist redshirted last season at Iowa State. He went 23-1 with his only defeat coming against Peyton Mocco (Missouri). In his only action this season, Carr scored an 18-3 technical fall over Jordan Fisher (Bucknell). The former blue chip recruit is expected to be a player in the 157-pound division this season. This might be the biggest match of the weekend. Carr could announce his presence in the weight with a victory over the No. 2-ranked wrestler. Young has shocked more heralded wrestlers in the past, but this will be a tough task. Carr's best wins have come in freestyle, but he has all the talent to pull this one out. Prediction: Carr (Iowa State) decision over Young (Iowa) 165: No. 2 Alex Marinelli (Iowa) vs. Chase Straw (Iowa State) Marinelli had a stellar regular season and conference tournament last year. He entered the NCAA tournament as the undefeated No. 1 seed. Things did not really go his way in the bracket, and he ended up finishing seventh. Despite that he is once again one of the top contenders in the weight this year. He currently holds the No. 2 ranking, and he has wins over everyone ranked in the top five. Straw is moving up to 165 pounds after spending the last two seasons at 157 pounds. Last year he was an NCAA qualifier and finished with a 22-12 record. Straw started this year with a first place finish at the Cyclone Open but dropped a decision last weekend against Zach Hartman (Bucknell). Marinelli is the clear favorite in this match. Straw is 1-7 for his career against Iowa wrestlers, and his only victory came over current teammate Skyler St. John. The only real question here is if Marinelli can put up bonus points. Last year he significantly increased his bonus rate, but he was unable last weekend to hit bonus over Drew Nicholson (UTC). Prediction: Marinelli (Iowa) decision over Straw (Iowa State) 174: No. 4 Michael Kemerer (Iowa) vs. Marcus Coleman (Iowa State) After missing an entire season due to injury, the 174-pound experiment for Kemerer finally got started last weekend against UTC. The competition was not particularly strong, but he dominated en route to a shutout technical fall victory. He appeared to be filled out at the new weight, but it remains to be seen if the former 157-pound wrestler will struggle against larger competition. After a very strong redshirt season for his first year in Ames, Coleman joined the starting lineup last year at 174 pounds. He finished with a 28-14 record and qualified for the NCAA tournament. He dropped a decision against No. 6 Bryce Steiert (Northern Iowa) at the Cyclone Open, but he bounced back last weekend with a fall over Frankie Guida (Bucknell). On paper Kemerer is the much more accomplished wrestler, and he should be able to take the bout. However, Coleman is really his first real test at 174 pounds. If the weight is going to be an issue for the Iowa wrestler this year, it will certainly show here. Prediction: Kemerer (Iowa) decision over Coleman (Iowa State) 184: No. 9 Cash Wilcke/Nelson Brands (Iowa) vs. No. 7 Samuel Colbray (Iowa State) Brands surprisingly got the start for Iowa against UTC last weekend. After spending last season at 165 pounds, he bumped up to 184 pounds and knocked off Matthew Waddell via 8-4 decision. Last year's starter at 184 pounds and three-time NCAA qualifier, Wilcke went instead to the Luther Open where he took the tournament title with two technical falls and two falls over DII/DIII competition. Following the match against UTC, the Iowa coaching staff indicated that Wilcke was sent to the open "for a reason." In his third year wrestling for the Cyclones, Colbray finally broke through and qualified for the NCAA tournament last year. He came up short of becoming an All-American as he fell in the round of 12. For his senior year, Colbray is looking to make it on the podium and is currently ranked in the top 10. Colbray won a close match over Wilcke last year, and that is likely going to happen again. Wilcke is a hard hand fighter, but he has struggled to score takedowns when he needs them. If Colbray is able to handle the pace, he should be able to salt away this victory with a late takedown. If Iowa send out Brands, it is hard to see Colbray's size not being too much for the former 165-pounder. Prediction: Colbray (Iowa State) decision over Wilcke (Iowa) 197: No. 3 Jacob Warner (Iowa) vs. Joel Shapiro (Iowa State) Warner went 22-6 during his first season in the starting lineup for the Hawkeyes. He became an All-American for the first time with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA tournament. Warner's two losses at the tournament came on a combined three points with one loss coming in overtime. In his season debut last season, he scored a 5-4 decision over Rodney Jones (UTC). Shapiro joined the starting lineup this year for the Cyclones after redshirting last year. He has gone 3-2 to start the year. His losses have come against Drew Phipps (Bucknell) and former NJCAA champion Tyree Sutton (Grand View). Throughout his collegiate career, Warner has knocked off many strong opponents. However, he has often played it close and put himself into seemingly unnecessary trouble. Warner should be able to put points on the board against Shapiro, but this one might be closer than expected. Prediction: Warner (Iowa) decision over Shapiro (Iowa State) 285: No. 12 Anthony Cassioppi (Iowa) vs. No. 16 Gannon Gremmel (Iowa State) Cassioppi went 20-2 last year during his redshirt campaign. Of those 20 wins 14 came via fall. Not surprisingly, he started his first season as a starter with yet another fall. He needed less than two minutes to stop Grayson Walthall (UTC) in his only match this year. Gremmel was an NCAA qualifier last year, but he went 1-2 in the tournament and failed to place. His season this year got off to an interesting start as he was disqualified for multiple unsportsmanlike penalties. Despite the DQ he should be allowed back in the lineup for Sunday's match. In the Cy-Hawk match last year, Sam Stoll came off the bench to score a much-needed victory over Gremmel to secure the team victory. If it comes down to heavyweight this year, Iowa will once again have the advantage. While Cassioppi was redshirting, he also picked up a second-period fall over Gremmel. Prediction: Cassioppi (Iowa) fall over Gremmel (Iowa State) Dual Meet Predicted Score: Iowa 22, Iowa State 12

Members of the 2019 NCAA Div. I Wrestling Championship team from The Pennsylvania State University, as well as many of the 2019 NCAA Div. I individual wrestling champions will be honored guests at the White House on Friday, November 22 in Washington, D.C. The wrestlers and coaches were invited as part of an NCAA Champions Day, which will also include athletes from other sports. The athletes will visit The White House during the morning of Friday, Nov. 22 and are expected to meet President Donald J. Trump as part of their tour. Invited to the White House were Penn State's 2019 NCAA championship team, as well as all 10 of the 2019 NCAA Division I individual champions, which also includes athletes from Arizona State University, Cornell University, Northern Iowa University, Rutgers University, the University of Iowa, and Virginia Tech University. While college wrestlers have been previously recognized by President Trump and other administrations, this is reportedly the first time all of the NCAA Div. I individual champions have been invited. Expected to attend are the following wrestlers, coaches, and university leaders: Penn State University Jason Nolf, 2019 NCAA champion at 157 pounds Bo Nickal, 2019 NCAA champion at 197 pounds Mason Manville, Varsity wrestling student-athlete Nick Nevills, Varsity wrestling student-athlete Rick Kaluza, Senior Associate Athletic Director, Finance and Business Operations Rutgers University Nick Suriano, 2019 NCAA champion at 133 pounds Anthony Ashnault, 2019 NCAA champion at 149 pounds Scott Goodale, Head Coach Donny Pritzlaff, Associate Head Coach Cornell University Yianni Diakomihalis, 2019 NCAA champion at 141 pounds Rob Koll, The David Dunlop '59 Head Coach of Wrestling Virginia Tech University Mekhi Lewis, 2019 NCAA champion at 165 pounds Tony Robie, Head Coach University of Northern Iowa Drew Foster, 2019 NCAA champion at 184 pounds Randy Pugh, Assistant Coach With the 2019-2020 NCAA wrestling season underway, some of those invited were not able to attend because the White House visit conflicted with scheduled competition. For instance, Penn State is competing at Arizona State on Friday, November 22. The University of Iowa will compete against Iowa State on Sunday, November 24. This affected invited athletes who are currently competing for their college wrestling team. There has been a tradition of college national champion teams visiting The White House in years past.
