MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- Wolverines head coach Sean Bormet earned a decisive win in his dual-meet debut as the No. 5 University of Michigan wrestling team trounced in-state rival Central Michigan, 32-12, on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 11) at McGuirk Arena. The Wolverines claimed seven matches with five bonus wins, including three falls. The pins came from the three NCAA All-Americans in the Sunday's lineup, including redshirt juniors Stevan Micic and Logan Massa, who both returned to the mat from injury to make their season debuts at 133 and 165 pounds, respectively, against the Chippewas. Redshirt junior Myles Amine also picked up a second-period fall at 174 pounds. Micic, ranked second nationally, put the Wolverines on the scoreboard -- after a decision loss at 125 pounds -- with a second-period pin against Brock Bergelin at 133 pounds. Micic scored three takedowns in the first period and ended the bout with a cradle at the 4:00 mark. It was Micic's first action since suffering an injury in the Poland Open in September that kept him out of the World Championships. Massa, ranked fifth nationally, piled on points against Blake Montrie in his first competition since last season's NCAA Championships, using two takedowns and a pair of four-point leg turks to build a big first-period lead before going with a bow and arrow late in the second to secure the fall at the 4:55 mark. Amine, ranked third at 174 pounds, also earned his fall in the waning seconds of the second period -- at 4:58 -- against Collin Lieber. Like Massa, Amine built a sizable lead with three takedowns in the first period, but was ridden for nearly the entire second period until earning a reversal in the final 10 seconds and sinking a half for the pin. Amine, who made his unofficial season debut in the NWCA All-Star Classic last weekend, owns two bonus wins in two matches this year. Redshirt sophomore Kanen Storr and fifth-year senior Malik Amine also earned bonus wins at 141 and 149 pounds, respectively, to build Michigan's dual lead through the lowerweights. Storr cruised to a 15-5 major decision over Drew Marten, scoring on four takedowns -- two apiece in the first and third periods -- a reversal and two-point turn. Amine used riding time to seal his 10-2 major decision against Dresden Simon after scoring four takedowns, including two to take an early lead in the first period. Storr was one of two Wolverines to earn his first dual-meet victory in Maize and Blue, with redshirt freshman Jelani Embree following with a 9-4 decision over Jordan Atienza at 184 pounds. Embree rallied from an initial deficit to score three takedowns -- one in each period -- and benefitted from late scores and rideouts to accumulate 1:32 in riding-time advantage. Redshirt junior Jackson Striggow rounded out the Wolverine winners with a 7-4 decision over Landon Pelham at 197 pounds -- the fourth of four straight Michigan wins at the upperweights. Striggow finished on three takedowns -- two in the first period -- in his return to the Michigan starting lineup. Results: 125 -- Drew Hildebrandt (CMU) dec.

LEWISBURG, Pa. -- It was a very successful day for the University at Buffalo wrestling team as the Bulls won all three of their duals at the Bucknell Duals on Sunday afternoon. The Bulls defeated Cleveland State, 34-6, VMI, 35-4, and host Bucknell, 25-12, to improve to 3-1 on the season. "It was a great day of wrestling," head coach John Stutzman said. "We scrapped hard and I'm so proud of these guys." Derek Spann continued his domination at 133 lbs. and will likely make his way into the national rankings next week. The redshirt-sophomore won all three of his matches with a pin and two major decisions. Spann won by fall over Cleveland State's Armando Torres in the third period. He followed with a 16-7 major decision over VMI's Hunter Starner and an 11-0 major decision over Bucknell's Brett Rezendes. Bryan Lantry had similar results at 141 lbs. The nation's 11th-ranked wrestler also won by a pin and two major decisions. Lantry pinned Cleveland State's Kyle Hennig midway through the second period. He followed with a 12-2 major decision over VMI's Dominick Gallo and a 13-5 major decision over Bucknell's Matthew Kolonia. At 184, Logan Rill also went 3-0 on the day. Rill earned a 3-1 decision over Cleveland State's Chris Morrow, a 4-1 decision over VMI's Max Gallahan and a 3-1 sudden victory over Bucknell's Kyle Inlander. Heavyweight Jake Gunning won both of his matches on the day. He earned a 15-0 tech fall over VMI's Tre Momon in his first match of the day. In the win, he registered his 100th career takedown, becoming just the 12th wrestler in program history to reach the milestone. Gunning also defeated Bucknell's Brandon Stokes by major decision. Another highlight on the day included Noah Grover's pin in just 50 seconds over Bucknell's D.J. Hollingshead at 165. The Bulls will next compete at the Army Invitational next Sunday.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Redshirt freshmen Austin O'Connor and Chasen Blair picked up major decision wins to help lead the No. 24 North Carolina wrestling team to a 23-10 over the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in the team's first dual of the season Sunday at Maclellan Gym. Carolina dropped the first three matches of the afternoon before rattling off seven straight wins. O'Connor was able to string together three takedowns in his second period and collect strong riding time throughout the match to beat Tanner Smith, 14-4, and begin UNC's run. It was Josh McClure at 165 pounds who tied things up at 10 with a 9-4 win. That was followed by a tight win from Devin Kane at 174, who was able to break a tie and score a late takedown to win, giving the Tar Heels a 13-10 lead that they'd extend the rest of the way. Blair impressed in his match for Carolina's second major decision. After a relatively slow first period, he scored a takedown and a four-point near fall to advance to the second period with a 6-0 lead. He finished strong with two takedowns in the third period, winning 13-4 for his first collegiate dual victory. Head coach Coleman Scott was pleased with the performances of the new faces who took the mat on Sunday, particularly those of O'Connor and Blair. "Both Chasen and Austin gave us a big boost today," Scott said. "They stepped up when they needed to and showed that our young guys are going to play a big role for us this year. It was really encouraging to see them lead us today." Ranked Tar Heels Kennedy Monday (No. 7 at 157), Chip Ness (No. 7, 184) and Cory Daniel (No. 15, 285) were also winners for the Tar Heels.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- No. 1 Penn State (1-0 0-0 B1G) opened up the 2018-19 season with a rousing 52-3 win over No. 24 Kent State (3-5) in sold out Rec Hall. Penn State rode seven pins in its season opener to victory, including two from Lions making their Rec Hall dual debuts. The win was the 46th-straight dual meet victory for Penn State, dating back to the end of the 2014-15 season. The dual was wrestled in front of 6,496 fans, Penn State's 42nd straight Rec Hall sell-out. The Nittany Lions have wrestled in front of sell-outs in 46 of its last 48 home events (42 straight in Rec Hall and four of six in the near-16,000 seat Bryce Jordan Center). Action began at 125 where sophomore Devin Schnupp (Lititz, Pa.) dropped a tough 12-8 decision to Kent State's Jake Ferri. True freshman Roman Bravo-Young (Tucson, Ariz.) made his Penn State debut at 133 and thrilled the Lion faithful with a pin in his collegiate debut. Bravo-Young dominated his first two periods against junior Tim Rooney before picking up the pin early in the third, at the 5:31 mark. Sophomore All-American Nick Lee (Evansville, Ind.), ranked No. 4 at 141, was equally impressive, rolling up 18 points in under two periods and posting an 18-2 technical fall over Kent State's Cory Simpson, getting the tech fall at the 3:44 mark. Red-shirt freshman Jarod Verkleeren (Greensburg, Pa.) got the call to make his Nittany Lion dual meet debut at 149 and, like Bravo-Young, notched a fall in his first dual in the Blue and White singlet. Verkleeren countered an early throw attempt by KSU's Kody Kamara, lifted the Flash wrestler off his feet and took him to his back for a fast fall at the 1:20 mark. Senior Jason Nolf (Yatesboro, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 157, continued Penn State's early pin parade. Nolf rolled up five takedowns in the first period before wrapping up a cradle and pinning Kent State's Joe Andrassy at the 2:29 mark. The fall was the 46th of Nolf's career, tying him for fourth all-time at Penn State with Ed Ruth. His fall also gave the Lions a 23-3 lead at intermission. Junior Vincenzo Joseph (Pittsburgh, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 165, kept Penn State rolling. The Lion junior dominated the first period against Kent State's Isaac Bast and then ended the match early in the second, getting a pin at the 3:40 mark to put Penn State up 29-3. Classmate Mark Hall (Apple Valley, Minn.), ranked No. 2 at 174, followed suit. He controlled KSU's Dylan Barreiro for the first period, building up a 10-0 lead. Like Joseph, Hall ended the match early in the second, picking up the pin at the 3:34 mark. The fall was the 26th of Hall's career, tied for 18th all-time at Penn State. Senior Shakur Rasheed (Coram, N.Y.), ranked No. 4 at 184 after earning All-America laurels at 197 a year ago, continued Penn State's torrid pace. Rasheed wasted no time in his match with Andrew McNally. The Lion senior notched a quick takedown and then worked his way to a pin, getting the fall at 1:13 in the first period. Senior Bo Nickal (Allen, Texas), ranked No. 1 his new weight of 197, continued Penn State's pin parade. Nickal rolled up four first period takedowns before pinning Shane Mast at the 2:06 mark, Penn State's seventh pin of the dual and its fourth in the first period. The pin was the 42nd of Nickal's career, sixth all-time at Penn State. Senior Anthony Cassar (Rocky Hill, N.J.) got the nod at his new weight of 285 and capped off a raucous home opener with a dominating 17-2 technical fall over Kent State's Billy Bolia, getting the tech at the 5:51 mark. Penn State posted a 31-4 takedown advantage. All nine of Penn State's wins were for bonus, seven pins and two tech falls. Penn State is now 1-0 while Kent State falls to 3-5. Penn State will head to Philadelphia next weekend for the 2018 Keystone Classic at the University of Pennsylvania. The team-scored tournament will be held in the historic Palestra and begins at 10 a.m. Penn State Fans are encouraged to follow Penn State wrestling via twitter at @pennstateWREST, on Penn State Wrestling's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pennstatewrestling and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/pennstatewrest.

Schnupp wasted no time taking a lead, using a low shot to take Ferri down and open up an early 2-1 lead. The Lion sophomore used a swift high single to work his way into control of Ferri and take a 4-2 lead at the 1:05 mark. Ferri got control of Schnupp's left ankle, looking for a takedown, but the Lion sophomore was able to work his way to a stalemate with :28 left in the opening period. Trailing 4-2, Ferri chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 4-3 score. Schnupp worked his way into control of Ferri's leg again, but the Flash wrestler forced a stalemate with 1:28 left in the period. The Lion countered a Ferri shot, rolled his way out of a near takedown and action continued neutral with 1:00 left. Ferri took a 5-4 lead right after that scramble but Schnupp quickly escaped to a 5-5 tie with :30 left in the middle stanza. Ferri added another takedown and a rideout to lead 7-5 after two. Schnupp chose down to start the third period and quickly escaped to a 7-6 deficit but Ferri took him down quickly. Schnupp escaped to a 9-7 score and began looking for a tying takedown. But Ferri blew through a strong low double to take an 11-7 lead with :55 on the clock. The Flash wrestler built up over 1:00 in riding time before Schnupp escaped to an 11-8 score. Ferri's riding time gave the Flash the 12-8 victory. 133: True freshman Roman Bravo-Young (Tucson, Ariz.) made his Nittany Lion debut against Kent State junior Tim Rooney. The duo battled evenly for the first :90 until Bravo-Young rolled through a strong high shot to get his first collegiate takedown and lead 2-0. Bravo-Young controlled the action from the top position and turned Rooney for four back points before the period ended to lead 6-0 after one. Bravo-Young chose neutral to start the second period and went to work on his feet. He picked up his second takedown quickly and then controlled the action for the remainder of the period. Rooney was hit for two stalls as well and Bravo-Young led 9-0 after two with over 2:00 in riding time. Rooney chose down to start the third period and Bravo-Young made him pay for the decision. The Lion quickly turned Rooney's shoulders to the mat and picked up a pin in his Rec Hall debut, getting the fall at the 5:31 mark. 141: Sophomore Nick Lee (Evansville, Ind.), ranked No. 4 at 141, met Cory Simpson of Kent State. Lee came out firing, taking Simpson down in front of the Kent State bench and nearly turning the Flash grappler to his back before Simpson rolled through to his stomach. Simpson escaped but Lee took him down immediately and led 4-1 with 1:00 on the clock. The Lion then turned Simpson's left shoulder to the mat, picking up a four-point nearfall to lead 9-1 after one. Lee chose down to start the second, escaped, took Simpson down and then ended the match with a four-point near fall. The Lion sophomore got his 18-2 tech fall at the 3:44 mark. 149: Red-shirt freshman Jarod Verkleeren (Greensburg, Pa.) made his Lion dual debut at 149 against Kent State's Kody Komara. Verkleeren fought off an early Komara takedown attempt as the Flash wrestler had control of Verkleeren's upper body early. The Lion freshman countered the control, working his way into a throw, taking Komara down and to his back and, after a quick second to reset himself, picked up a pin in his Rec Hall debut. Verkleeren's fall came at the 1:20 mark. 157: Senior Jason Nolf (Yatesboro, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 157, took on Joe Andrassy. Nolf put on an early takedown clinic, getting for takedowns in the opening 1:10 to lead 8-3 just over minute into the bout. Nolf continued his offense, picking up two more takedowns to lead 10-5 at the :50 mark. Nolf then wrapped up a cradle, turned Andrassy to his back and picked up Penn State's third pin in five bouts. Nolf's fall came at the 2:29 mark. 165: Junior Vincenzo Joseph (Pittsburgh, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 165, met KSU senior Isaac Bast. Joseph took a 1-0 lead early when Bast got hit with a quick unsportsmanlike. Joseph then took Bast down to open up a 3-0 lead with 2:15 left in the opening stanza. Joseph cut Bast loose, quickly rolled through a high shot and upped his lead to -1 with 1:25 on the clock. Joseph continued to showcase his offense, letting Bast up and using a strong low double to take a 7-2 lead with a third takedown with :40 on the clock. Joseph added one more cut and takedown and finished on top to lead 9-3 with 1:40 in riding time after one period. Bast chose down to start the second stanza, escaped, and was quickly taken down by Joseph again. Joseph picked up a stall point and then took Bast down to his back for a quick pin, getting the call at the 3:40 mark. 174: Junior Mark Hall (Apple Valley, Minn.), ranked No. 2 at 174, faced off against Dylan Barreiro. Hall notched the first takedown just :35 into the bout to lead 2-0. He maintained control of the Kent State sophomore, working Barreiro to his back for four nearfall points once, then again, to lead 10-0 with 1:05 left in the opening period. Hall forced Barreiro into a first stall warning and finished on top to lead by ten with 2:26 in riding time after one period. Hall chose down to start the third period and quickly escaped. He then turned into Barreiro, worked shoulder control into a quick takedown and flattened Barreiro's shoulders to the mat for the pin. The fall, Penn State's fifth of the dual, came at the 3:34 mark. 184: Senior Shakur Rasheed (Coram, N.Y.), ranked No. 4 at 184, met Golden Flash sophomore Andrew McNally. Rasheed, wrestling down at his new weight of 184, wasted no time taking McNally down. He then went control on top, looking for a turning combination. The Rec Hall faithful did not have to wait long. Rasheed rolled McNally over, turning his back flat and picking up Penn State's sixth pin of the dual at the 1:13 mark. 197: Senior Bo Nickal (Allen, Texas), ranked No. 1 at 197, met Shane Mast for Kent State. Nickal took Mast down just seconds into the bout, cut him loose, and took him down again immediately to lead 4-2. He added a third takedown and cut and led 6-2 less than :90 into the match. Mast shot high but Nickal countered the move, wrapping Mast's shoulders between his lower legs and turning him to his back for a takedown. He then adjusted his position once and picked up Penn State's seventh fall of the dual, this one at 2:06. 285: Senior Anthony Cassar (Rocky Hill, N.J.) made his heavyweight debut for Penn State against KSU's Billy Bolia. Wrestling up at 285 for the first time, Cassar took Bolia down quickly to open up an early 2-0 lead. Cassar worked on top, building up a solid riding time edge before letting Bolia up. The Lion then took the Flash grappler down again to lead 4-2 with :55 left in the opening period. Cassar forced Bolia into a first stall and then took him down. Another stall warning gave Cassar a 7-2 lead after one period. Cassar chose down to start the second stanza and quickly escaped to an 8-2 lead. He roared through a strong high shot to up his lead to 10-2, with over 2:00 in riding time in the process. Cassar turned Bolia for two nearfall points and another stall point to lead 13-2 at the :50 mark. He turned Bolia for two more nearfall points and led 15-2 with nearly 4:00 of riding time after two periods. Bolia chose neutral to start the final stanza and Cassar quickly took him down to end the match, picking up a 17-2 tech fall at the 5:15 mark.

AMES, Iowa -- The Iowa State wrestling team (1-0, 0-0 Big 12) opened its 2018-19 dual season in dominant fashion with a 37-3 victory over SIU-Edwardsville (0-1, 0-0 MAC) on Sunday afternoon at Stephens Auditorium. The Cyclones won nine of 10 matches over the Cougars, including four bonus-point victories highlighted by pins from Ian Parker (141 pounds) and Marcus Coleman (174). Austin Gomez (133) and Jarrett Degen (149) also earned ovations from the ISU crowd, both earning wins by technical fall. Alex Mackall put the Cyclones up early with a victory over Austin Macias in a scoring flurry. Mackall was in control for most of the match before Macias reversed Mackall and added four back points. Mackall would score on a late takedown and secure 2:33 of riding time to push him past Macias, 16-14. Gomez kicked off a three-match bonus-point victory streak for the Cyclones. In his Cardinal and Gold debut, Gomez rattled off four first-period takedowns and added another 10 back points to take his match by 18-3 technical fall over Jacob Blaha. Parker brought the 1,445 fans at Stephens Auditorium to their feet with a second period fall over Coleman Brainard. Parker was dominant in the match, tallying five takedowns before driving Brainard to his back. Degen added five team points when he defeated Tyshawn Williams by 24-9 technical fall. Degen racked up eight takedowns and a reversal in his winning efforts. Following the break, Brady Jennings knocked off NCAA Qualifier Nate Higgins by 10-6 decision. It was an unorthodox match, with Jennings scoring a takedown and three reversals to take down No. 19 Higgins. Coleman was the next Cyclone to score bonus points. He racked up six takedowns before bullying Kevin Gschwendter to his back in 5:19. Sam Colbray, Willie Miklus and Gannon Gremmel brought the Cardinal and Gold home with three straight decisions to close out the match. Colbray defeated Sergio Villalobos, 10-3, Miklus took down Chrsitian Dulaney, 5-3, and Gremmel put the exclamation point on a Cyclone victory with a 9-5 decision over Tommy Helton. Iowa State will return to the mat on Nov. 17 at the Lindenwood Open. Results: 125: Alex Mackall (ISU) dec.

FARGO, N.D. -- Arizona State kicked off their weekend in the Dakotas with a strong showing at the NDSU Bison Open. The Sun Devils would pace the field with seven individual champions. Two unattached SDSU Jackrabbits and one unattached Minnesota Golden Gopher brought home titles for their respective programs. At 125, ninth-ranked All-American Ryan Millhoff squared off with highly touted Minnesota freshman Patrick McKee. Millhoff was able to secure the opening takedown and a set of back points to take a big lead after two periods. McKee was able to pick up two third period takedowns, but it wasn't enough as the veteran Millhoff took out the freshman McKee 10-4. One other notable result: McKee advanced to the finals with a thrilling 10-7 victory over NDSU NCAA qualifier Paul Bianchi in the semifinals. 133 saw a pair of Sun Devils do battle for the title, as Josiah Kline and Josh Krammer met. Kline would secure the matches lone takedown and come out on top with the 3-2 victory. 141 belonged to SDSU freshman Clay Carlson. Carlson met Arizona State's Cory Crooks. Regulation and the first overtime weren't enough for these two to decide the title. In the first set of rideouts, Carlson was able to get an escape and then ride Crooks out to secure the championship. Going into the final round, it appeared that 149 and heavyweight were set to be the two premiere battles. 149 would pit outstanding Minnesota freshman Brayton Lee against twelfth ranked Arizona State veteran Josh Maruca. Early on, Lee controlled the match with a variety of leg attacks and he was able to build an early lead behind two takedowns. Although Maruca was down, he was far from out of this fight. Maruca would use a quick escape and subsequent takedown to jump in front of Lee. Maruca was then able to finish strong and stymie Lee to claim the 5-4 victory. Veteran Christian Pagdilao of Arizona State would take on another one of Minnesota's highly touted freshman, in Ryan Thomas, with the 157-pound title on the line. In this one, the veteran Pagdilao had too much for the freshman from the get-go. Pagdilao would control all facets of this match en route to a strong 13-4 major decision. 165 would bring our second finals matchup of Arizona State teammates. All American Josh Shields, ranked fifth at 157, would take on Jacen Peterson. Shields was incredibly sharp on his feet and rolled to a controlling 12-4 major decision over his teammate. Returning national champion Zahid Valencia took on NDSU hometown favorite Jesse Shearer at 174. Valencia staked to a quick lead with a beautiful attack. Shearer would actually tie the match up with a reversal, before Valencia would regain the lead with an escape. Valencia would then put the match away with his second takedown, before applying a cradle to secure the fall. 184 brought Arizona State's Kordell Norfleet against NDSU's Michael Otomo. Norfleet was able to utilize his exceptional quickness to secure several takedowns and secure a convincing 12-3 major decision. 197 belonged to SDSU freshman Tanner Sloan. Sloan, a relatively unheralded freshman, continued his strong early season performance, by recording a first period technical fall over Minnesota NCAA qualifier Bobby Steveson. Sloan has now defeated Steveson, 18th ranked Eric Schultz of Nebraska, and Minnesota NCAA qualifier Brandon Krone early this season. Sloan had an entertaining semifinal win over Minnesota freshman Garrett Joles. Both Joles and Sloan are currently redshirting, but these are two youngsters that are definitely worth keeping an eye on. Heavyweight would bring the match that everyone wanted to see. The consensus top freshman in the country, Minnesota's Gable Steveson, and sixth-ranked Arizona State All American Tanner Hall. This match delivered on all accounts. Steveson generally controlled the action from neutral and very nearly had a first period takedown on the edge. However, with no replay available, the first period ended scoreless. The two wrestlers would trade escapes in the following periods, but neither was able to secure a takedown. In overtime, Steveson would jack Hall up and go for a trip on the edge of the mat. As Hall went to the mat, he appeared to put a whizzer in but Steveson was awarded the two points. Again, with no review, the call would stand, despite the protests from the Arizona State coaches. Neither Steveson or Hall looked pleased to have the match decided in controversial fashion. The Arizona State coaching staff continued to plead their case after the match, but there was nothing that could be done.

David L. Johnson, University of Pittsburgh wrestler in the late 1950s who went on to serve as head wrestling coach at his college alma mater, died this past week at age 82. The school announced his passing Saturday. Dave Johnson, wrestling for legendary head coach Rex Peery at Pitt, was a three-time EIWA (Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association) champion, winning the 157-pound conference crown in 1956 and 1958, and the 167-pound title in 1957. As a Panther wrestler, Johnson compiled a perfect 13-0 record at the EIWA championships, and was 27-3 in dual meet competition. (Pitt now competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference, having left the EIWA in the 1970s.) Dave JohnsonJohnson qualified for the NCAA championships each of the three years he won an EIWA title ... but did not place at the Nationals. A native of Lock Haven, Pa., David L. Johnson won the 154-pound state title at the 1954 PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association) wrestling championships, becoming only the third state champ for Lock Haven High School. As Pennsylvania wrestling historian Tom Elling told InterMat, Dave Johnson came from a family of wrestlers. His brother Mike became a four-time state champ, and, like Dave, wrestled at Pitt... while the youngest Johnson brother Fran coached wrestling at Bellefonte High School in Pennsylvania. According to Elling, one of Dave Johnson's teammates at both Lock Haven High School and Pitt was Bob Bubb, Hall of Fame coach at Clarion University. Dave Johnson graduated from Pitt in 1958. Johnson went on to coach the Panthers for two seasons (1965-67) and graduated from the University's Dental School with a D.D.S. All three of Johnson's sons-Doug, Mike and Marc -- were wrestling lettermen at Pitt and earned degrees from the Dental School. Two of his sons continued their father's legacy by continuing to serve patients at what had been Dave Johnson's dental practice in suburban Pittsburgh. Johnson was welcomed into the EIWA Hall of Fame in 2005. Funeral services were held Friday, Nov. 9. The family requests that anyone wishing to honor Dave Johnson's memory make a gift to the Alzheimer's Association.

Johny Hendricks' debut in bare-knuckle fighting did not go as the former Oklahoma State mat champ might have hoped. Johny HendricksInstead, as MMAJunkie.com described it, "Dakota Cochrane took advantage of a short-notice opportunity and took out a former UFC champion with his bare hands." Cochrane managed to knock out Hendricks, a two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion, in 21 seconds of the second round of the a co-main event bout at the World Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation first-ever event at the Casper Events Center in Casper, Wyo. Friday night. Cochrane had stepped in just two days prior to the debut WBKFF event to take the place of Hendricks' original rival Brennan Ward, who pulled out because of a contract dispute. Cochrane had been already scheduled to appear on the card, fighting another opponent. "Cochrane opened up a nasty cut under Hendricks' eye in the first round and then finished with a huge right hand early in the second," MMAFighting.com reported. "It was a fairly one-sided affair. After the right, Hendricks dropped to his knees and the referee waved off the contest." When asked after the fight whether bare-knuckle fighting was different than MMA, the 34-year-old Cochrane -- who was 31-12 in his pro MMA career -- said, "Definitely different for sure, but I love throwing that right hand," he said. "I never wrap in practice. Never any of that. So I can throw that hard." Hendricks, 35, who had been 18-8 in his professional MMA career started eleven years ago, had announced back in June that he had retired from MMA to become a wrestling coach at a private high school in suburban Dallas. However, in mid-September, the former Cowboy wrestler known as "Bigg Rigg" in MMA competition, announced he had signed with the new bare knuckle boxing venture and would appear on their inaugural card on Nov. 9.

PITTSBURGH -- The University of Pittsburgh wrestling team opened the 2018-19 season in dominant fashion Saturday night, taking down CSU Bakersfield, 32-4, at the Fitzgerald Field House.

Pitt's lone loss of the night came at 149 pounds, as redshirt freshman Dallas Bulsak fell in a 17-3 major decision to Russell Rohlfing.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- While it was not California Baptist University's first-ever win over an NCAA Division I opponent, the Lancers' impressive 28-10 victory over Cal Poly was their first victory as a D-I program. CBU won seven of 10 matches in its season-opening dual on Saturday at the Mott Athletics Center, even with five of its starters being underclassmen. The Lancers open the 2018-19 season 1-0, while the Mustangs drop to 0-1. Saturday was CBU's most dominant victory over Cal Poly in the six-dual series. The Lancers and Mustangs have now split it evenly, 3-3, with CBU's first two victories coming on a combined four points in 2013 (19-18) and 2014 (18-15). "I thought it would be a tough dual, but the guys just wrestled really well," Coach Lennie Zalesky said. "The times we have beaten them before, one match was always the difference. This time we won seven and could have won a couple others, too, maybe. It was a really good win, actually, just the feel of it. The way the guys wrestled was really impressive." A six-day break will lead into the Lancers' highly anticipated home opener against second-ranked Ohio State on Friday at 7 p.m. in the CBU Events Center. "It's going to be great to host Ohio State and wrestle at that level," Zalesky said. "We have some monster competition ahead, but we are excited for it." True freshman Antonio Saldate gave CBU the best start possible in his first-ever collegiate match on Saturday, as he pinned his opponent in two minutes and four seconds. It gave CBU an immediate 6-0 lead after the 125-pound bout. "Antonio starting it out with that pin for us was just amazing," Zalesky said. "He had a really good takedown, just really took it to the guy, with a good combination and got him on his back." After Cal Poly won via decision at 133, redshirt freshman Zander Silva increased the Lancers' edge with a 10-2 major decision at 141. Daxton Gordon rattled off another bonus-point victory for CBU, with a 12-4 major decision at 149 for a 14-3 lead in the team score. The Mustangs stopped the run momentarily with another decision at 157, but the Lancers won the next four matches to secure the team victory. Bryce Buckley defeated his opponent at 165 on a score of 11-6 to push the lead to 17-6. Jacob Cooper nearly shutout his opponent at 174 for a 9-1 major decision. Garrett Strang wrapped up the team win for good, with a 12-4 major decision at 184, with the 25-6 lead being impossible to overcome with two matches to go. Zach Schrader ended the dual with another CBU win, as he picked up a 6-5 decision over his heavyweight opponent thanks to a riding-time point. "It was a pretty new lineup," Zalesky said. "It was fun to see them compete and I think they learned a lot, too." Results: 125 Antonio Saldate (California Baptist (Calif.)) over Benny Martinez (Cal Poly) (Fall 2:04) 133 Yoshi Funakoshi (Cal Poly) over Adam Velasquez (California Baptist (Calif.))

TROY, N.Y. -- An upset win from junior 157-pounder Grant LaMont jumpstarted a six-match winning streak en route to leading Utah Valley University wrestling to a24-14 victory over No. 15 Rutgers of the Big Ten Conference on Saturday afternoon at the Journeymen Northeast Duals in Troy, New York. The Wolverines (2-1) nearly knocked off another ranked Big Ten foe on the day, as they dropped a tightly contested dual to No. 12 Nebraska earlier in the day by a score of 19-15. UVU posted a 2-1 outing at the dual meet tournament, however, with a dominant 47-6 victory over Niagara County CC. "Great wrestling from all of our guys today. We had some opportunities to win some big individual matches in against a couple of highly ranked teams. We succeeded in some of those situations, but also missed out in couple of others," head UVU coach Greg Williams said. "We were mostly impressed with the higher level of toughness that we showed throughout our line-up. That especially showed with our top and bottom positions. "Great wins for both Matt Findlay and Grant LaMont, as they both wrestled strong and beat top-10 wrestlers. We are excited for the guys and the success they had today. We look forward to improving on what we accomplished today." LaMont was one of two Wolverines to record a victory over a top-10 ranked opponent on the day, as 141-pounder Matt Findlay arguably had the biggest win with a 10-8 upset over 2018 All-American and sixth-ranked Chad Red of Nebraska. With the Wolverines trailing Rutgers (4-1) 14-6 after four matches, LaMont managed to record a 9-6 hard fought victory over No. 9 John Van Brill to pull UVU to within 14-9. With Van Brill holding to a 6-5 lead midway through the final period, the Wolverine junior 157-pounder managed to record an escape point to tie it followed by a late go-ahead takedown and an addional riding time point to seal the victory over the top-10 ranked opponent and two-time NCAA qualifier. LaMont's victory was the first of six straight UVU wins, as 14th-ranked Demetrius Romero followed with a 8-3 decision over Stephen Glasgow at 165, fellow 14th-ranked Kimball Bastian then recorded a 6-2 victory over Joe Grello, Will Sumner followed with a 3-1 decision over Jordan Pagano, two-time NCAA qualifier and 18th-ranked Tanner Orndorff managed to pull out an 8-2 win over Matt Correntti, and his younger brother and 16th-ranked then sealed the victory for UVU with a 4-3 decision over Christian Colucci to propel the Wolverines to the 24-14 come-from-behind victory. UVU's other victory in the contest against the Scarlet Knights was a third-period fall from 141-pounder Matt Findlay (6:58). In the opening dual against the 12th-ranked Huskers (3-0), Utah Valley got off to a 9-3 start after an opening forfeit victory from senior Josh Jensen (125 pounds) followed by another huge upset by Findlay at 141 pounds. After Mitch Brown dropped a 13-6 decision to Tucker Sjomeling, Findlay responded by pulling out a huge 10-8 decision victory over the reigning All-American and sixth-ranked Chad Red of Nebraska. Findlay took a 7-5 advantage over the Husker All-American into the third period and managed to record a third-period escape followed by a late takedown to lock up the upset by a score of 10-8 and give the Wolverines the early 9-3 advantage in the dual. The Huskers then responded with a decision at 149 followed by a major decision at 157 to take a 10-9 lead. Returning NCAA qualifier Romero then helped get the Wolverines back on top with a 10-4 decision victory over John Blankenship at 165 to make it 12-10 UVU. But back countered Nebraska with back-to-back-to-back victories from ranked grapplers in No. 12 Mikey Labriola (174), No. 3 Taylor Venz (184) and No. 18 Eric Schultz (197) to give the Huskers the late 19-12 lead and secure the victory for Nebraska. In the final bout of the contest, UVU redshirt freshman and 16th-ranked Tate Orndorff responded for the Wolverines with a hard fought 2-1 decision over Christian Lance to close the meet at 19-15. In the 47-6 win over Niagara County CC (1-3), UVU found itself leading by just a 9-6 score after three matches. But back responded the Wolverines by winning each of the final seven matches of the contest to earn the dominant victory over the Junior College foe. Mitch Brown (133), Landon Knutzen (149), Jakob Discher (157), Koy Wilkinson (165), Dante Springsteen (174), Gary Jantzer (184), Ashton Seely (197) and No. 16 Tate Orndorff (285) all earned bonus-point wins, while Jensen (125) picked up a win via decision for the Wolverines in the 41-point victory against the Thunderwolves. Utah Valley's lone setback in the contest against NCCC was a forfeit at 141 pounds. The redshirt freshman heavyweight Tate Orndorff led UVU on the day by going a perfect 3-0 in his first collegiate dual action, while Findlay and Romero each went an unblemished 2-0. Findlay and LaMont both each knocked off a top-10 ranked foe during the Journeymen Northeast Duals. The Wolverines will continue the trip by taking part in the Journeymen Collegiate Classic on Sunday. The tournament will begin at 7 a.m. MT/9 a.m. ET at Hudson Valley CC and will be streamed live on the FloWrestling.org (for a fee).

TROY, N.Y. -- The Wyoming wrestling team picked up a couple of wins to open the 2018-19 dual season on Saturday, rattling off back-to-back convincing wins over Virginia and Edinboro. "It was a pretty good day overall," head coach Mark Branch said. "We have seven new guys in the lineup, so we didn't really know how we were going to compete as a dual team. I think we got better between the Virginia dual -- which was going to be a little tighter -- and the Edinboro dual. We saw some improvements between those duals. It was a good start to come out after traveling this far to get our first two duals under our belt and get our first two victories." The Cowboys (2-0) opened the day with a 21-9 victory over Virginia before returning to the mat just 20-plus minutes later to outgun Edinboro, 33-6. "Watching our young guys, they're already showing improvement so there are a lot of positives on the day," Branch said. "We've got to make weight again at scratch tomorrow, so we've got to keep working here to get that weight off. We get started tomorrow in an individual format, so our guys will get about three matches each tomorrow and we'll see some different schools, which is good. "This was a great way to start the season off, and definitely got two big dual victories for a very young team. I'm looking forward to what's next tomorrow." Young Guns Lead Pokes over Virginia Against Virginia, four Cowboys got key wins in their first dual starts, while veterans Montorie Bridges, Branson Ashworth and Dewey Krueger held serve in their matches to claim the Pokes' first dual victory of the season. After Virginia opened up with a 9-2 decision by No. 7 Louie Hayes over Cowboy Cole Verner, Wyoming tied it back up at 3-all with a Bridges 7-5 decision over Brian Courtney. Bridges recorded a pair of takedowns in the first to get to the first break with a 4-1 lead, but a stalling point and takedown awarded to Courtney over the following two periods were enough to get the Cavalier back in the match; however, Bridges was able to outlast Courtney's final efforts for the win. The Cavaliers would respond with a Sam Krivus 5-3 decision over Wyoming's Sam Turner to retake a 6-3 lead, but from there the Cowboys were able to string together four consecutive victories to take control of the dual. Jaron Jensen tallied his first dual win in a 6-4 edge over Virginia's Michael Murphy at 149 pounds. After a scoreless first period, Murphy opened the second with an escape from the down position and a takedown just five seconds later to take an early, 3-0 lead. Jensen was able to escape before the end of the second, and headed into the third trailing 3-1, but the redshirt sophomore came up big in the third with a pair of takedowns to lock up the first dual win of his career. At 157, Dewey Krueger started hot with a takedown and pair of nearfalls to get to the second period of his match against Jake Keating with an 8-0 advantage. Krueger was able to record another takedown to open the second and stretch his lead to 10, but Keating wouldn't go away quietly as the Cavalier recorded a couple of takedowns and a nearfall in the final frame to tighten the score; however, it was too late as Krueger came out with the 13-7 decision. In the only ranked matchup of the day, No. 11 Ashworth dominated No. 19 Cam Coy in a 6-1 decision. Ashworth scored a pair of takedowns while preventing Coy from scoring anything but a third-period escape. A 3-0 win by Hayden Hastings at 174 pounds stretched the Wyoming lead to 15-6. Hastings scored a takedown in the opening 30 seconds of his match with Robby Patrick, which would be enough for the win as he rode out the period and prevented Patrick from answering over the final four minutes. The win was the first dual win of Hastings' career. After Virginia got on the board again at 184 pounds to cut the Wyoming lead to five, the Cowboys were faced with having to win one of the final two bouts of the dual to secure the win. Making his first start for the Pokes, redshirt freshman Cale Davidson was up to the task. Davidson overcame an early takedown for Virginia's Jay Aiello with a reversal and rideout to end the first period. The Cowboy would add a takedown and escape in the final two periods while holding Aiello scoreless to stretch the team score advantage to eight and put away his 6-2 decision. Heavyweight Brian Andrews closed out the dual for the Brown and Gold with a 6-4 decision over Quinn Miller. No. 21 Wyoming 21, Virginia 9 125: No. 7 Louie Hayes (UVA) dec.

Quinn Miller (UVA) 6-4 Cowboys Rout Fighting Scots to Close Saturday The Cowboys opened the second dual of the day hot, picking up the first seven wins in the dual to clinch the win before Edinboro ever got on the board. In all, the Brown and Gold came away with eight wins, including five coming with bonus points. Cole Verner picked up his first win of the day at 125 pounds, posting a 5-1 win over Edinboro's Lucas Rodriguez. It was his first career dual win. At 133 pounds, Montorie Bridges was all over Richie Gomez, racking up six takedowns on the way to a 14-4 win. With the win, Bridges recorded his first major decision of the season and 10th of his career. Sam Turner got back on track at 141 pounds, shutting out PJ Gohn for the 4-0 win to stretch Wyoming's lead to 10-0 in the early going. Redshirt sophomore Jaron Jensen recorded the Pokes' first pin of the day in an impressive win over Christopher Matzke. Jensen was leading, 11-3, midway through the third and had the win well in hand, but was able to turn Matzke to his back for the fall. It was Jensen's first bonus point win of the year. Dewey Krueger added some more bonus points for the Cowboys at 157 pounds, outperforming Tim Suter in an 11-1 major decision. Krueger racked up four takedowns and well over two minutes of riding time in the win to push him to 2-0 on the day. At 165, Branson Ashworth turned in an offensive explosion, racking up seven takedowns, a reversal and a pair of nearfalls for the 24-6 technical fall over Edinboro's Matthew Dowler. Dowler stood little chance against the Cowboy senior from the start, as Ashworth led 8-1 after the first period and never looked back. Hayden Hastings was able to pick up his second win of the day with an 8-5 decision over Jacob Oliver. Hastings opened with a takedown in the first minute of the match, and after Oliver responded with a couple of takedowns of his own to tie it at four, Hastings was able to escape and record a takedown with a minute and 20 seconds to go in the final period to all but clinch the win. With the dual result already decided, the Fighting Scots picked up a couple of wins at 184 and 197, but the Cowboys would have the last laugh, getting the 15-0 technical fall from Brian Andrews over Jon Spaulding. Andrews had an offensive flurry, recording a pair of takedowns and three nearfalls while denying Spaulding any scores. No. 21 Wyoming 33, Edinboro 6 125: Cole Verner (WYO) dec.

TROY, N.Y. -- No. 17 Purdue opened its dual schedule Saturday by thumping Bloomsburg 35-5 and Drexel 25-14 at the Journeymen Northeast Duals at Hudson Valley Community College's McDonough Sports Complex. Combined, the Boilermakers won 14 of 20 contested bouts, with 11 of those resulting in bonus points. Double winners No. 16 Devin Schroder, Ben Thornton and Parker Filius put their explosive offenses on display, contributing bonus points in each of their victories. The trio of Schroder, Thornton and Filius put up big points, outscoring opponents 65-5 by way of three major decisions, two pins and a technical fall. Schroder racked up 24 back points while beating BU's Willy Girard in a 17-5 major decision and Dante Mininno of Drexel 16-0 in a mere 2:45. Ranked 16th nationally, the 125-pounder improved to 6-1. Following in line at 133 pounds, Thornton first blanked Huskie Lewis Williams 8-0 and then put a dozen points on the board in a 12-0 shutout of Drexel's Chandler Olson. The 7-0 redshirt senior has not given up a takedown, while surrendering just four points, and winning four of his seven matches by major decision. Filius didn't disappoint in his dual debut. The 149-pounder raced out to a 10-0 lead as Bloomsburg's Tim Kane fought to stay off his back from Filius' initial takedown. It didn't take long for the redshirt freshman to find his hold, sticking the Huskie at 2:40. His Dragon opponent, Trevor Elfvin, was Filius' next victim, getting pinned at 2:36. No. 15 Nate Limmex also delivered a pair of wins at 141 pounds. In his first match, he cruised in an 18-3 technical fall in 4:16 against Aaron Coleman. The NCAA qualifier then shut out Drexel's Julian Flores 4-0, lifting his record to 6-1.

Lydy's redshirt junior mark moved to 7-0 with the wins. Purdue's sixth double winner of the day was 184-pounder Max Lyon. Riding time was the difference in a 5-4 decision against Trevor Allard in his first match. He then went to work on Dragon Owen Brooks, registering a 15-2 major decision. In addition to Filius, fellow redshirt freshman Jared Florell was dominant in his first dual start. Florell found his groove late in the first period with a takedown and a four-point nearfall of his 197-pound opponent, Michael Porreca of Bloomsburg. The Ham Lake, Minnesota, native built a 13-0 lead through the second period, and off a neutral start in the third, ended the match with a takedown at the 5:11 mark.

Anthony Robles Wrestling champ who won the 125-pound title at the 2011 NCAAs. ESPN commentator. Successful motivational speaker. Winner of two ESPY awards. About to appear in a movie version of his popular memoir "Unstoppable." Anthony Robles' resume includes all these accomplishments … despite being born with only one leg. Now the 30-year-old former Arizona State mat champ seeks to add yet another item to his bucket list: setting a new world record for pull-ups during halftime of an NFL game this Sunday. The Guinness Book of World Records lists the existing record as 61 pull-ups in one minute. Robles seeks to break that record at the intermission of the New York Jets-Buffalo Bills football game on Sunday, Nov. 11. Why is Anthony Robles on a vision quest to break the record for pull-ups? According to Sports Illustrated, it's the movie "Vision Quest." "In this pursuit, Robles has been reminded of, and inspired by, his favorite movie. In the 1985 classic Vision Quest, a high school wrestler named Louden Swain (played by Matthew Modine, two years before 'Full Metal Jacket') rashly decides to drop two weight classes to take on defending state champion Brian Shute. 'Last week I turned 18,' declares Swain at one point. 'I wasn't ready for it.'" This summer, Robles turned the Big Three-Oh. He jokingly told Sports Illustrated "I wasn't ready for it." The Sports Illustrated feature goes on to tell more of Robles' inspiring story as a wrestler … and his quest to set a new pull-up record. And it describes the current record holder in Shute-like terms. The Jets-Bills battle will be this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS. No guarantee as to whether Anthony Robles' quest to earn a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for pull-ups at halftime will be a part of CBS' TV coverage.

Colorado Springs, Colo. -- The Gophers defeated Air Force by a score of 33-3 in their first dual of the season Friday evening in Colorado. "Overall it was a pretty good performance," head coach Brandon Eggum said. "I am excited. You have to come out and wrestle, no doubt about it. But we have guys with good skills and they work hard. They do a lot of things right. I think it's going to be a fun year." Minnesota won nine out of ten weight classes, gaining four bonus-point victories, including a pin at 141-pounds. Dylan Anderson started the Gophers off at 197-pounds against Air Force. Anderson was aggressive throughout the match but could not overcome an early takedown, falling by a 5-4 decision. Rylee Streifel leveled the team scores at 3-3 with a confident victory at heavyweight. Streifel gained a first-period takedown and rode out the entire second period on his way to a 3-0 decision. In his first dual match for Minnesota, Sean Russell rallied from an early takedown and pushed the match, looking for bonus-points. Russell scored four third-period takedowns to earn a 12-5 decision for the Gophers. Ethan Lizak started quick at 133. He earned an early takedown and had momentum heading into the second period where he turned John Twomey for four. Lizak wrestled smart to end the match with a 6-0 decision. Mitch McKee provided a spark for Minnesota at 141-pounds. The junior hit a quick takedown and turn to lead 6-0 in the first period. McKee then gained the fall, and the first bonus-point victory of the match for Minnesota at the 1:11 mark. McKee's six team points gave the Gophers a 15-3 lead after five matches. Tommy Thorn gained three takedowns in his match against Alec Opsal. Thorn went on to win the 149-pound match with an 11-5 decision. Steve Bleise earned the Gophers first major decision of the match at 157. Bleise took a stalling call in the first period before tossing his opponent for another early Gopher takedown. Bleise continued to score, putting up 11 points in the second, leading to his 18-6 major. Carson Brolsma gained takedown after takedown at 165. His four takedowns gave him an advantage over Tanner Johnson, but it was his final riding-time point however that secured his 11-3 major decision. Skatzka followed with the third Gopher major decision of the match. Skatzka worked assertively from the top position throughout the match, gaining the final nine points from nearfall and a ride time. Owen Webster won the Gophers ninth and final match of the dual at 184-pounds against Tyler Wiederholt. Webster relinquished the first points of the match to Wiederholt, but was able to battle back into the match with two first-period takedowns. Webster defended a late attempt by the Air Force wrestler to claim the 8-6 decision and finalize the Gophers 33-3 victory. Up next for Minnesota, select wrestlers will take part in the Bison Open Saturday Morning in Fargo, N.D. while the team will return to the dual portion of their schedule next Sunday, Nov. 18 when they take on Oklahoma State in the home opener.

KENT, Ohio -- The Frenzy in the Field House proved to be no match for the Wisconsin wrestling team. The Badgers (3-0) defeated both of their opponents in convincing fashion, taking down Kent State (3-4) 37-13, and then knocking off CSU-Bakersfield (3-2) 28-12 to go undefeated on the night. Wisconsin started the night against the Golden Flashes of Kent State. Sophomore Connor Brown got the Badgers off on the right foot with a 17-5 major decision over Jake Ferri at 125 pounds. After junior Michael Cullen lost by major decision at 133 pounds, the Badgers racked off four consecutive pins in the next four weight classes. Junior Tristan Moran pinned Cory Simpson in 1:22, junior Cole Martin pinned Kody Komara in 1:39, sophomore Patrick Spray, in his first dual of the season, pinned Joe Andrassy in only 0:43, and sophomore Evan Wick capped it off with a pin of Isaac Bast in 5:39. The pin streak ended after Wick, but senior Ryan Christensen kept the wins flowing with a 7-0 decision over Dylan Barreiro at 174 pounds, and freshman Trent Hillger got in on the pin party at Heavyweight with a fall on Spencer Berthold at 3:45. Junior Mason Reinhardt lost a tough match via fall in the third period at 184 pounds, and freshman Andrew Salemme lost a 3-1 decision in his Badger debut at 197 pounds, but Wisconsin earned a 37-13 victory in electrifying fashion. Next, the Badgers moved on to a match up with CSU-Bakersfield. Brown got the team started again with a 6-1 decision victory over Alex Hernandez-Figueroa, but Cullen had to forfeit at 133 due to an injury sustained in his previous match. Tristan Moran faced off against No. 13 Sean Nickell and came away with a grueling 8-7 overtime victory to level the score. Cole Martin went 2-0 on the day after defeating Russell Rohlfing 6-3, but Patrick Spray conceded a 8-6 decision to Wyatt Gerl, and the score was tied 9-9 through the 157 weight class. That's when the Wisconsin team leaders took over. At 165 pounds, Evan Wick dominated from start to finish, securing the 18-1 tech fall victory over Jacob Thalin. Immediately after that, Ryan Christensen rolled to a 16-0 tech fall victory over Bryan Battisto, and the victor was never in doubt after that. Mason Reinhardt defeated Dominic Ducharme 10-6 at 184 pounds, and CSU-Bakersfield forfeited at Heavyweight due to injury. Andrew Salemme lost at 197 pounds to Matt Penyacsek by a 9-3 decision, but the Badgers took home the 28-12 victory. Straight from the mat Head coach Chris Bono On the team's performance: "Today was a good day, we came together as a team. We've only been with these guys a couple months, and today was a great team deal. We got on the road with these guys and we really bonded as a team and that's so important. You start coming together as a team, you start working for each other. That's something we've been stressing and I'm really proud of how we are coming together, everybody is supporting everybody, and our effort has been unbelievable." On progress from last weekend: "Coming from last week, Buffalo came in and I thought we maybe got a little nervous, we didn't compete the way I thought we can. Today we competed well and I'm excited for where we're headed." On the team's aggressive strategy: "We got a lot of pins today which is exciting, a lot of bonus point wins. When that happens the guys start feeding off each other, everybody wants to pin somebody. Let's make the sport exciting, right?" Next up, the Badgers will travel to Lincoln, Nebraska on Friday for their first Big Ten match up of the season against Nebraska. Wisconsin returns to the Field House on Sunday for a non-conference doubleheader against Princeton and Utah Valley.

We have Kemerer at home. We have Vince Turk at home. We have a lot of depth that still isn't here, but tribute to our depth for getting the job done. WE have a heavyweight fans haven't seen before. Aaron Costello did the job. Max Murin, first time in the lineup, did the job. You can go through lineup and I could give credit to a lot of people." On win No. 1,000: "Those thousand wins go way back to E.G. Schroeder, the first coach, and come all the way through Mike DeAnna, who was here tonight, and Gable, and here we are.

A former high school wrestling coach was among the 12 victims of a mass shooting at a bar in Thousand Oaks, Calif. on Wednesday night. Sean AdlerSean Adler, 48, who had served as a coach of the wrestling program at Royal High School in Simi Valley, Calif. but had recently opened his own coffee house in Thousand Oaks, was working as a bouncer at the Borderline Bar and Grill when he was shot by a gunman at approximately 11:30 p.m. Pacific time Wednesday. "Please keep Sean Adler's family in your thoughts and prayers," read a post on the Royal Wrestling Facebook page. "Sean was our strength coach a few years back. He was transitioning careers and still made time for our team. He travelled with us through some of the roughest times we had as a program. He was positive, motivational, and truly wanted the best for the people around him. He was one of the victims last night at the shooting at Borderline Bar and Grill where he worked as a bouncer. Thank you Sean for your help and most of all your friendship. RIP. The San Bernardino Sun reported that Adler had just opened his Rivalry Roasters coffee house three weeks ago, and was still working as a security guard and bouncer at the Borderline, a nearby country-western bar and restaurant located in a suburb about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, to help pay bills for his new business venture. Sean Adler's sister Valerie told NBC News that on Wednesday night, as a gunman opened fire on the crowded bar, the former coach attempted to disarm him. "It's absolutely the kind of thing he would do," Danny Evans, a childhood friend, told the Sun. "He just loved people." "He gave his all, to whatever it was he did," added Mike Nolan, a friend whom Adler met through the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce. "He worked his butt off. He did everything he could to make this shop a reality." Danny Evans, one of Mr. Adler's childhood best friends, said that although he had not spoken to Adler recently, he recalled that in high school, his friend "was the guy we all wanted to be: handsome, athletic and kind." "When we were younger, I was an awkward kid," Evans told the New York Times. "I got picked on." "And Sean was my protector," he continued, choking back tears. "He stood up for me, and he showed me the kind of kindnesses I didn't get from other people. I needed that so badly at that time." "I'm so proud to have been his friend," he added. "It's devastating that he's gone." A vigil was planned for Friday night at Adler's Rivalry Roasters. Funeral arrangements have yet to be made public. Sean Adler is at least the third victim of a mass shooting in the past 18 months with a school coaching background. In February 2017, Chris Hixon, mat coach and athletic director at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., was among 17 individuals killed. Six months later, Bill Wolfe Jr. -- an elementary school wrestling coach in Pennsylvania -- was among 59 killed by a sniper at an outdoor country music concert in Las Vegas.
