BLACKSBURG -- An evenly matched dual on paper turned into a dominant performance for No. 9 Virginia Tech as the Hokies (3-0) defeated No. 17 Central Michigan (1-1), 26-6, on Carilion Court at Cassell Coliseum on Sunday night. Tech claimed eight of the 10 bouts and its two losses came by decision. No. 5 David McFadden and No. 2 Jared Haught both picked up bonus point victories at 165 and 197 pounds, respectively. Redshirt freshman Kyle Norstrem and redshirt senior Dennis Gustafson started the Hokies off with victories for the second consecutive match, putting Tech out in 6-0 early. The Chippewas got on the board with a decision at 141 pounds that cut their deficit to three, 6-3. A top 10 bout followed at 149 pounds where No. 5 Justin Oliver looked to avenge a loss to No. 7 Solomon Chishko suffered at last season's NCAA Championships. With the score tied at 1-1 in the waning seconds of the third period, Chishko grabbed a double leg with less than 10 seconds left and appeared to register a takedown. Virginia Tech challenged the no-call and the ruling was reversed, giving Chishko the 3-1 decision. It marked Chishko's first win over a common top 10 foe this season. Making his second consecutive start at 157 pounds, redshirt freshman B.C LaPrade pushed the pace and kept it close with No. 13 Collin Heffernan, a two-time NCAA qualifier, after two periods. LaPrade escaped early in the third that knotted up the score at 1-1 as the match went to sudden victory. LaPrade's second shot in the extra period was defended well by Heffernan but the New Kent, Virginia native ducked under and scored the takedown to put the Hokies ahead 12-3 in the match The next two matches went chalk before No. 7 Zack Zavatsky topped his second ranked opponent of the weekend after defeating No. 12 Jordan Ellingwood, 7-4, racking up 2:43 of riding time in the win.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- In dominating fashion in one of Arizona's most iconic buildings, the No. 5 Arizona State wrestling team (1-2) opened the home slate, defeating the No. 22 Pitt Panthers 32-6 on Sunday afternoon in historic ASU Gammage. "The first thing I noticed was that I could hear everybody a lot better in here," said head coach Zeke Jones. "Normally when I'm coaching, I can't hear anybody. I heard all the hecklers and I loved it because they were on our side. More than anything when talking aboutASU Gammage and the history of the performers in here and you can say that you competed in such a historic venue, I think it shows the fact that Arizona State, the wrestling program and really the university, beyond athletics, really cares about our sport and our team." For the second week in a row, Ryan Millhof (125) pinned his opponent to give the Sun Devils the early advantage. The Sun Devils continued to roll in the 133-lb. match, as Ali Naser defeated Pitt's Jake Cherry by major decision, 12-4. Both No. 13 Josh Maruca (149) and No. 5 Josh Shields (157) had decision victories in their respective bouts before the Valencia brothers came in to keep the momentum rolling. After the break, No. 8 Anthony Valencia defeated Jake Wentzel, 15-3 on a major decision at 165 and the undefeated top-ranked Zahid Valencia pumped up the crowd with his pin at 1:58 of Pitt's Austin Bell. Both Kordell Norfleet (184) and No. 3 Tanner Hall (HWT) completed the victory for ASU, with decision victories over their respective opponents. Pitt picked up decision victories at 141 and 197 but it would not be enough to hurt the Sun Devil's dominating offense. Up next, ASU continues their home slate back in Wells Fargo Arena as they take on South Dakota State on Sunday, Nov. 26 at 12 p.m. MT. The match will be broadcast live on the Pac-12 Network.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- In one of its most impressive performances in recent memory, No. 10 Lehigh won eight of 10 bouts against fourth-ranked Michigan to claim a 27-8 win Sunday in a loud and rowdy Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall. The teams split the four bouts matching ranked wrestlers against one another, but Lehigh rode a fast start to an 18-0 lead at intermission and never looked back. With the victory Lehigh improves to 3-0 on the dual season as the Mountain Hawks complete the sweep of ranked foes in their home-opening weekend. "It's no question that there was a big advantage to wrestling here in Grace Hall," Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro said. "It was good to have the fans behind us and our guys really fed off of it." Lehigh welcomed back Darian Cruz in the opening bout at 125, and Cruz got the Mountain Hawks off to a fast start with a 7-0 decision over Wolverine true freshman Drew Mattin who was just pulled out of redshirt. Cruz scored the only takedown of the bout in the first period and later tilted Mattin for four points to lead 6-0 after one. An expected 2-vs.-3 matchup at 133 never materialized as Michigan's Stevan Micic did not compete but junior Scott Parker gave Lehigh some early breathing room with his second pin of the weekend, using a third period cradle to top Mike Volyanyuk in 5:33, giving Lehigh a 9-0 lead. Freshman Luke Karam followed with his biggest win to date, using a strong third period to defeat Sal Profaci 9-2 at 141. Profaci scored a late first period takedown to go up 2-0 after one but Karam was in control from there, reversing to open the second period and riding out before picking up the go-ahead takedown late in the third. Karam picked up a late four point near fall for good measure plus riding time advantage. Junior Cortlandt Schuyler made his first dual appearance of the season at 149 and extended Lehigh's lead to 15-0 with an 8-3 decision over Malik Amine. Schuyler scored two first period takedowns and added a second period reversal in the win. Lehigh's first of three wins over ranked wrestlers came at 157 as junior Ian Brown rode a first-period six-point move where he took eighth-ranked Alec Pantaleo to his back and went on to a 7-5 decision which gave the Mountain Hawks their 18-0 advantage at the break. Third-ranked Logan Massa picked up Michigan's first win of the dual with an 18-2 technical fall win over sophomore Cole Walter at 165, but Lehigh got back-to-back wins from sophomore Jordan Kutler and junior Ryan Preisch, with both matches won in the final period, to clinch the dual. Kutler battled back to 3-3 in the third after giving up an early takedown in the first period to Myles Amine at 174. He scored on a late low double on a re-shot to go up 5-3 and went on to win 5-4 to put Lehigh up 21-5. Preisch delivered the official clincher, using a third period takedown to defeat Domenic Abounader 3-1 at 184. "Our team is starting to buy in to the fact that they can win matches in the third period," Santoro said. "They're doing it. Saw it really start last year but we've been able to continue that." Freshman Jake Jakobsen delivered the final win for the Mountain Hawks, using a second period ride out and third period escape to defeat Jackson Striggow 2-0 at 197. Michigan claimed the final bout as second-ranked heavyweight Adam Coon defeated No. 13 freshman Jordan Wood 6-2. "Overall I was really pleased with how the guys wrestled," Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro. "Those were two good teams on the mat today. It was almost the opposite of what happened to us last year in their gym (No. 15 Michigan knocked off No. 10 Lehigh 24-13) but it was good to see our guys come out on top of those close matches." The Mountain Hawks will be off from competition next weekend and will return to action at EIWA rival Princeton on Friday, December 1 at 7 p.m. Two days later, Lehigh hosts two-time defending national champion Penn State at PPL Center in Allentown.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The Navy wrestling team won the 40th Annual Navy Classic on Saturday at Wesley Brown Field House behind a strong team effort which featured three individual champions. It is the first team championship in the Navy Classic for the Midshipmen since winning seven of eight titles from 2004 to 2011. “The team is the highlight of today's victory at the Navy Classic,” head coach Joel Sharratt said after the competition. “We competed hard at all 10 weight classes and when this team does that great things are going to happen.” The Midshipmen posted a team score of 112.5 to win the event. Purdue finished second with a combined tally of 100.5, just ahead of Old Dominion (98.5). Indiana (81.5) and Princeton (74.5) rounded out the top five of the field. Nicholas Gil (Crystal Lake, Ill.), Drew Daniels (Overland Park, Kan.) and Jadaen Bernstein (Glen Gardner, N.J.) all won their weight classes to pace the Midshipmen scoring. Gil competed in four matches in the 141-pound weight class on the day, recording a pair of major decisions. After starting the day with a bye, the junior posted an 8-0 major decision to advance. Gil notched a 2-0 decision against Jack Mutchnik from American to move to the semifinals. He advanced to the finals with an 8-3 decision over Indiana's Cole Weaver. In the championship, Gil defeated Old Dominion's Alex Madrigal with a major decision, 11-2. “Standout performance was Nick Gil who wrestled extremely strong all the way through today's event,” Sharratt said. “He was our most dominant wrestler in the finals and he still has more skill to develop.” Bernstein was the Mids' top performer at 174, going 5-0 on the day to win the individual championship. The senior opened the day with back-to-back major decision victories, beating Bucknell's Frank Guida (W, 14-4) and Brown's Andrew LaBrie (W, 13-5). Bernstein continued with a 7-3 decision over Dylan Barreiro of Kent State in the quarterfinals before notching a 5-1 decision over Seldon Wright of ODU in the semifinals. In the finals, Bernstein edged Indiana's Devin Skatzka, 5-3, to win the title. In the 165-pound weight class, Daniels posted five victories to win the championship. He opened the day with a 6-3 decision against Brendan May of George Mason, advancing to take on Ben Schram of ODU, who advanced via a bye. Against Schram, Daniels notched a 3-1 sudden victory to move ahead in the bracket to face Austin Reese of Ohio. The senior earned a one-point victory (4-3) to advance to the semifinals, where he defeated Campbell's Quentin Perez. In the finals, Daniels registered a sudden victory (3-1) over Indian's Bryce Martin to claim the weight class. “Bernstein and Daniel had great days. This was Bernstein's first event since our opening weekend and he started a little slow but his finals match was true Bernstein style that did not allow his opener to even get a handful of shots attempted. Daniels has to feel great about his day. He opened up and wrestled his matches today and brought home a hard for guy victory in the finals via OT.” Brant Leadbeter (Owings, Md.) was the top performer in the 125-weight class, advancing to the quarterfinals before moving to the consolation bracket. Cody Trybus (Elkton, Md.) picked up four wins on the day out of the consolation bracket at 133, while Corey Wilding (Pittsburgh, Pa.) notched a win in the round of 32 of the 149-pound weight class and four victories in the consolation bracket. Zack Davis (Granger, Ind.) was the top performer at 157, nothing a pair of Ws in the round of 32 and 16 before advancing through the consolation bracket to claim fifth place. Michael Coleman (Hudson, Ohio) came up just short in the 184 group, falling to Christian Lafragola of Brown, 8-6, in the championship. At 197, Joshua Roetman (Kotzebue, Alaska) posted a pair of wins on the day, while Austin Faunce (Lake Oswego, Ore.) picked up two wins at 285. “Great team work,” Sharratt added. “They have earned a nice Thanksgiving week of recovery in preparation for the Cliff Keen.” Navy will next be in action at the Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas on the weekend of Dec. 1-2.

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- The Maryland wrestling team (3-1, 0-1 B1G) captured its third consecutive victory on Saturday, knocking off Stanford, 18-15. The win surpasses Maryland's 2016-17 win total and is Maryland's second-longest winning streak since the Terps won four matches in-a-row in the 2014-15 season. "I'm very impressed with the way our team battled today," head coach Kerry McCoy said. "Brandon Cray set the tone early, and that momentum carried throughout the match. We were confident when things got tough, and we felt good about being able to turn to Youssif Hemida, knowing he'd give us a great chance to close it out. I'm proud of our team and I'm looking forward to the Road Runner Open on Sunday." Maryland's afternoon got started with Brandon Cray upsetting No. 9 Connor Schram. Cray's win was his third in a row, including a pin on Nov. 4 against Campbell. Stanford was able to take the lead after a major decision at 133, but No. 15 Ryan Diehl kept his undefeated season going with a 6-1 win at 141. Stanford won at 149, but Maryland was able to respond with consecutive wins from Kyle Cochran at 157 and Brendan Burnham at 165. Burnham's win came by way of sudden victory and it was his first of the season. No. 16 Keaton Subjeck defeated Maryland's Josh Ugalde at 174, but Spencer Woods then kept Maryland in front with a 6-2 win at 184. Niko Cappello fell by major decision at 197, which tied the match at 15 heading into a top-15 bout at heavyweight between Maryland's Youssif Hemida and Stanford's Nathan Butler. The two were scoreless after the first period, but Butler quickly took the lead with an escape early in the second period that Hemida matched to tie the score.

FRESNO, Calif. -- Illinois redshirt senior wrestler Isaiah Martinez recorded his 100th career victory on Friday night in front of his hometown crowd at Fresno State, as the Illini routed the Bulldogs 33-10. A native of Lemoore, California, just 30 miles south of Fresno, Martinez used a 28-13 tech fall to become the 25th Illini to reach the century mark. The Illini won seven of the ten bouts, including three pins, to improve to 1-1 on the season, while Fresno State dropped to 1-2. "Isaiah was great as always, said head coach Jim Heffernan. "It was good to get him back home one last time. Fresno did a phenomenal job with the event and should be congratulated. I was also really impressed with the way David Riojas handled himself in his first time out. [He] kept his composure, competed hard and got it done." Martinez's 100th win proved to be quite similar to 40 of his previous victories, as the Illini 165-pounder dominated Isaiah Hokit for the tech fall (5:05), alternating between takedowns and cutting his opponent loose to get back to his offense throughout the match. Using 11 takedowns, paired with a reversal and a two-point near fall, Martinez powered his way to his second tech fall in as many matches this season. Friday night's dual also marked the first home dual for Fresno State since their program was reinstated beginning this season. The Bulldogs wrestling team was cut as a varsity sport following the 2005-06 season. Starting at 125 pounds, the Fighting Illini jumped out to an early 13-0 lead with wins in each of their first three matches, highlighted by a pin and the first Illini victories for redshirt freshmen Dylan Duncan and Mike Carr. Sophomore Travis Piotrowski opened the dual with a commanding pin just a into the 125-pound bout against Fresno State's Sean Williams. After a scramble on the outside of the mat, Piotrowski gained control for the takedown. Over the next 30 seconds, Piotrowski worked both of Williams' shoulders, eventually getting both on the mat 1:04 into the match. Adding four more points to the Illinois score at 133 pounds, redshirt freshman Dylan Duncan picked up his first career win in an Illini singlet with a major decision over Trevor Williams. Leading wire-to-wire, Duncan earned a takedown in the first period, another takedown in the second, followed by three more in the final frame to win 12-4 with riding time. The third straight victory to open the dual came from another first-year starter for Coach Heffernan, as redshirt freshman Mike Carr won by decision, 13-7, against Chris De Loza at 141 pounds. After falling behind 2-0 early, Carr bounced back to tie the match, 3-3, at the end of the first. Over the remaining two periods Carr held De Loza without a takedown while notching four two-pointers of his own to pull away for his first win as an Illini. Fresno State picked up a pair of victories at 149 and 157 pounds to cut into the Illinois lead. Kristian Olivas defeated redshirt sophomore Eric Barone by a 10-2 major decision on the backs of a 8-0 run in the final frame. At 157 pounds, redshirt senior Langenderfer opened the scoring for the Illini, but a 7-0 run by Greg Gaxiola put the match out of reach as the Bulldog held on for a 9-5 decision. After Isaiah Martinez's tech fall put the Illini back in the win column following intermission, the Illini iced the victory with back-to-back falls at 174 pound and 184 pounds from true freshman David Riojas and redshirt junior Emery Parker. Making his collegiate debut, Riojas picked up the pin over Dominic Kincaid midway through the second period. Tied 3-3 entering the second frame, Kincaid got in on a leg of Riojas but was stymied by the first-time starter as he scramble out of danger. Riojas quickly got back to his offense, notching the go-ahead takedown, 5-3, and then worked Kincaid to his back for the fall with 38 seconds left (4:22) in the period. Parker made it back-to-back pins when he put Angel Solis on his back early in the third period. After a single takedown in the first period, Parker added three more in the second to take a 9-2 advantage into the final frame. Having worn down Solis in the previous period, Parker finished off the Bulldogs' 184-pounder 20 seconds into the third (5:20) with his first pin of the season. Illinois won their seventh and final match of the night at 197 pounds, as redshirt junior Andre Lee edged Richie Brandt by way of a 4-3 decision to push Illinois' lead to 33-7. After a takedown late in the first period, Brandt tied the match with a takedown of his own in the second period. An escape by the Illini 197-pounder in the final period proved to be the difference as Lee held staved off late shots by Brandt. Ending the match at heavyweight, Illini redshirt junior Duece Rachal dropped a back-and-forth battle against A.J. Nevills by a score of 7-5. Tied 5-5 entering the final period, Nevills countered a late shot by Rachal to get a takedown with 13 seconds remaining to seal the third win for Fresno State. Up next, the Orange and Blue will continue their trip in the Sunshine State with the Roadrunner Open on Sunday, November 19. Held in Bakersfield, the all-day tournament will begin at noon central time, 10 a.m. locally, and be broadcast via subscription on FloWrestling.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Bonus point victories early set the tone on Friday night as Virginia (1-2) defeated Gardner-Webb (0-4) by a score of 30-11 Aquatic & Fitness Center in the first home dual of the season for the Cavaliers. The dual was the first of two straight at home for the Cavaliers. Virginia will return to action on Sunday, Nov. 26, when the Cavaliers host No. 5 Missouri at 1 p.m. “Overall, we still have a lot of work to do, but I was really happy with the bonus-point wins tonight,” said Virginia head coach Steve Garland. “Right off the bat, Louie (Hayes) and Jack (Mueller) got us rolling and that was key. We need that all year. We feel we have a great one-two punch with those guys at the start of our lineup. “Then Andrew (Atkinson) got a pin with was great for the team. Jay Aiello toughed out his win and Tyler (Love) finished things off. He looked fantastic tonight.” Louie Hayes (Orland Park, Ill.), who is ranked No. 18 nationally at 125 pounds, and Andrew Atkinson (Lynchburg, Va.) both pinned their opponents as the Cavaliers got bonus-point victories in four of the first five weight classes of the night. Jack Mueller (Dallas, Texas), who is ranked No. 8 at 133 pounds, picked up a tech fall, while Sam Krivus (Greensburg, Pa.) turned in a major decision at 149 pounds With the early wins, Virginia stormed out to a 15-8 lead on the Bulldogs at the midway point. The Cavaliers locked things up with three more wins down the stretch as No. 18 Will Schany (Blair, Neb.), Jay Aiello (Chantilly, Va.) and Tyler Love (Clifton, Va.) all picked up decisions for the final 30-11 margin of victory. Schany won at 174 pounds, while Aiello won at 197 pounds and Love won at heavyweight.

In front of a nearly packed house in Frost Arena in Brookings, S.D., the No. 6 ranked University of Minnesota battled through every level of adversity to defeat South Dakota State University 20-12 on Friday night. "Our guys wrestled really well today, and I loved how they competed," head coach Brandon Eggum said after the dual. "This type of environment provided us a huge test and for these guys to respond in the ways they did was phenomenal." The difference in the dual ended up being junior Tommy Thorn's victory at 141-pounds. Thorn earned a major decision victory over Henry Pohlmeyer after missing the Air Force dual. Thorn dominated throughout the match and earned numerous takedowns to win 13-4 with the bonus point. "Thorn looked great tonight," Eggum added. "He has a great match coming on Sunday, so it was nice to see him come out tonight and perform at such a high level." The night began with a strong performance from Owen Webster at 184-pounds. The sophomore turned defense into offensive in the first period after sprawling; he spun around and scored the opening points of the dual. Webster's opponent was able to tie up his match at 2-2 after a headgear grab and escape, but Webster countered with an escape of his own and one final takedown before adding his second straight bonus point to give Minnesota the opening victory. After a close defeat at 197 in sudden victory time, Rylee Streifel put Minnesota back in front of the Jackrabbits. Streifel and his opponent, Alex Macki, remained scoreless after one period. Macki escaped to earn the first points of the match, but a takedown at the end of the second period gave the Prior Lake native his first lead of the match heading into the final period. The sophomore was able to defend his way to the 3-1 victory in the third period, his second straight win with that score. Lizak took the mat at 125, and struck early and never looked back. The junior scored at 1:30 in the first period, and then not only did Lizak not allow the escape, he put his opponent on his back for two separate near fall calls, giving him an 8-0 lead at the end of the first period. Then at the start of the second, instead of an escape, Lizak scored on a reversal, and make it 10-0 and added a bonus point to win 11-0 and put Minnesota up 10-3. "I think sometimes people forget how dangerous Ethan is when he gets to the legs because of his length. It was a good win for him, I thought he looked really sharp." After Thorn's victory, Hunter Marko continued his early season success at 149. After a scoreless first period, Marko escaped in the second, and then secured a takedown with just mere seconds left in the second, which was unsuccessfully challenged by SDSU. Marko used the 3-0 lead, and was able to grind his way to the Gophers fifth victory. The Maroon and Gold earned their sixth and final victory of the night when Nick Wanzek took the mat. The senior jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first, and he never surrendered his lead for the remainder of the match. Minnesota will jump on a flight to Oklahoma for a big matchup with No. 3 Oklahoma State on Sunday. The Gophers will enter Gallagher-Iba Arena at 5:00 p.m. to possibly have four ranked matchups take place.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- On a night when Central Michigan officially dedicated its wrestling room to two of the iconic names in program history, the Chippewas put their dominance on display. CMU recorded two pins, a technical pin and two major decisions on Friday in rolling past Michigan State, 31-9, in its dual-meet opener at McGuirk Arena. The 15th-ranked Chippewas recorded 20 takedowns while allowing just nine, and they finished with 24 back points and blanked the Spartans in that category en route to winning seven of the 10 matches. "Any time you compete, you're happy with some things and then you see things that will really take some time to fix," CMU coach Tom Borrelli said. "That's pretty much how the night went. "In the matches that we scored bonus points in, we wrestled the way we've been practicing, we did what we've been practicing: we tried to keep scoring points, we went for a couple pins, which is important. Other matches, there's things we really need to work on." The wrestling room was officially dedicated in the name of Borrelli and former longtime coach Chick Sherwood. Also on hand for the dedication was Philip Kintzele, a CMU professor in the School of Accounting a longtime major benefactor of the program. "The nice thing is Phil Kintzele had a lot to do with us having the finances to do that," Borrelli said. "That's a nice thing to know that there are people working in the university that recognize the hard work that's gone into this program and what it's done for young people over the years. Phil's probably taught here maybe 40 years. To have someone like that step up, that's an important thing." Plenty of Chippewas stepped up on the mat on Friday, including senior Jordan Ellingwood (184 pounds) and redshirt freshman Matt Stencel (285), both of whom recorded pins. Stencel closed the meet with a pin in 1:10; Ellingwood's came at 3:24. CMU sophomore Mason Smith (141) recorded a 15-0 technical fall at 2:50, and Justin Oliver (149) and Colin Heffernan (157) both won on major decisions. CMU scored bonus points in five of the seven matches it won. "We have this saying, score 10 points every match you go out there," Ellingwood said. "We take stats on all of our matches and when we score 10 points, we're winning like 98 percent of the matches. It's one of our mottos: Score 10, score 10." The Chippewas also got an 8-3 win from Logan Parks (165) and a 2-0 victory from Jordan Atienza (197). It was CMU's fourth consecutive dual victory over the Spartans, and it marked the 15th time in the last 16 years that the Chippewas have beaten the Spartans. "When you're competing in Division I, nothing's easy," Borrelli said. "Everybody thinks Central Michigan's supposed to beat Michigan State pretty handily. It's never easy. We've beaten Michigan State a lot over the years and I don't think one of them has been easy." The Chippewas will travel to Virgina Tech on Sunday. The Hokies are ranked 11th in the Open Mat Top 25 poll. "I'm excited to see how good we are against a team like that," Borrelli said. "Sometimes it's harder to compete the way you want to compete when you're expected to win or expected to dominate someone. "Sometimes that's tougher than being the underdog and going into a place where they expect to slap you around. You're going to go in and fight a little bit. I want to see how our guys react to that."

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Two bonus point victories fro No. 9 Virginia Tech's lowerweights helped propel the Hokies to a convincing 28-7 road win over Chattanooga on Friday evening. The Hokies only dropped two matches in the dual and improve to 8-8 all-time vs. the Mocs. Tech set the tone right away with a major decision from redshirt freshman Kyle Norstrem at 125 pounds and a tech fall from redshirt senior Dennis Gustafson. Redshirt junior Zack Zavatsky, ranked seventh in the nation by Intermat at 184 pounds, topped No. 12 Bryce Carr in the lone ranked bout of the evening in sudden victory overtime, 3-1. Chattanooga's Alonzo Allen only trailed 10-6 in the third period of the 125-pound bout but Norstrem used an escape, a takedown and four near fall points to push the score into bonus point territory. Gustafson made quick work of Wade Cummings as he picked up the tech fall in 4:38 to give the Hokies a 9-0 lead in the dual. After a defeat at 141, No. 7 Solomon Chishko's decision at 149 set the stage for B.C. LaPrade's 17-4 major decision at 157 pounds, putting Tech in the driver's seat at 16-3. The win marked LaPrade's first dual meet victory of his career. The match of the night came at 184 where Zavatsky and Carr were knotted up at 1-1 at the end of regulation. Zavatsky, who was on the offensive from the start, fended off a shot from Carr and grabbed a single leg to convert a takedown and clinch the 3-1 victory. No. 2 Jared Haught grinded out a 10-8decision at 197 before a workman like 5-2 decision from Andrew Dunn closed out the match. The Hokies return to action on Sunday, Nov. 19, at Cassell Coliseum when they take on No. 17 Central Michigan at 3 p.m. A limited number of tickets remain for Tech's dual with No. 5 Missouri next weekend at the Moss Arts Center.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Wrestling without two of its top guns, No. 10 Lehigh posted bonus points in five of six victories Friday night to knock off No. 24 Edinboro 27-14 inside Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall. Junior Scott Parker continued to enjoy success in his recent run against ranked opposition while classmate Gordon Wolf posted another high-scoring, come-from-behind win, this one coming against a ranked foe. The win improves Lehigh's early-season record to 2-0, while Edinboro falls to 2-1. Three of the four freshmen wrestling their first official Lehigh bouts in Grace Hall picked up impressive victories, starting with Jordan Wood, who opened the dual with a 9-0 win over Jon Spaulding, who was subbing for Edinboro's ranked heavyweight Billy Miller. Wood scored a takedown in each period plus a second period escape and penalty point for stalling plus a 3:29 riding time advantage to stake Lehigh to a 4-0 lead. Freshman Aaron Burkett, subbing for senior Darian Cruz at 125, was upended by eighth-ranked Sean Russell, who claimed a 19-4 technical fall in 5:29 to give the Fighting Scots a 5-4 advantage. Parker, ranked third at 133, took on 11th ranked Korbin Meyers, who struck for an early takedown to go up 2-0. Parker battled back with a takedown at the first period buzzer to go up 3-2 and led 6-2 after two periods before pancaking Myers in the third and earning his first fall of the season at the 5:33 mark. "Scotty is going to keep wrestling the whole match," Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro said. "That's how he's won these last two matches. He just kept wrestling. He kept the heat on his opponent tonight and you saw him wear down in the third period. That was the difference." Freshman Luke Karam extended Lehigh's lead to 13-5 with a 6-1 decision over Nate Hagan at 141. Karam scored takedowns in the first and third periods, and rode out after that third period score to gain a 1:44 riding time advantage. A pair of close decision going into and coming out of intermission allowed Edinboro to creep within 13-11 with four bouts remaining. At 149, senior Jonathan Mele scored first, but Peter Pappas answered with three takedowns in the first period and held on at the end to win 11-10. Junior Ian Brown also scored first in his match with Andrew Shomers at 157 but two escapes plus a second period takedown and riding time gave Shomers a 13-11 lead. Wolf got Lehigh back on track with an impressive 16-8 major over ninth-ranked Austin Matthews at 165. Matthews scored the first takedown of the bout but after a penalty point for locked hands Wolf and he traded reversals. Wolf dominated on his feet and in scrambles from there, scoring a takedown of his own in the first and adding two more both the second and third periods plus over three minutes of riding time. "Gordon gets better as the match goes on," Santoro said. "Once he starts tightening up that first period, he can compete with anybody in the country. He's learning, he's getting better, and he's done a nice job." Sophomore Jordan Kutler followed with a major decision of his own, scoring three takedowns in the first and three more in the third, the last of which clinched the major in the final seconds 14-5 over Fritz Hoehn at 174. Edinboro picked up its final win at 184 as Dylan Reynolds defeated sophomore Andrew Price, who stepped in for junior Ryan Preisch, by a 5-2 score. Freshman Jake Jakobsen ended the dual on a high note for Lehigh, scoring an early takedown against Aaron Paddock and then locking up a cradle for the fall in just 52 seconds. "Our freshmen did great," Santoro said. "Luke Karam did a great job too. Three freshmen came out and did what we expected them to do. They wrestled really well but overall I do want to see more attacking (from everyone) and more offense. At times we were content to hang onto leads and that's something we'll have to fix as the season goes on. We're not going to win the big ones, in March, wrestling with inconsistent techniques." The Mountain Hawks will wrap-up their opening home weekend on Sunday when they welcome No. 4 Michigan to Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall for a 1 p.m. match. Tickets are still available and can be purchased online at LehighTickets.com or at Grace Hall prior to Sunday's match. No. 10 Lehigh 27, No. 24 Edinboro 14 285 – Jordan Wood (Lehigh) major dec.

BOUT-BY-BOUT: 125: Redshirt freshman Devin Schnupp (Lititz, Pa.) took on Binghamton's Joe Nelson at 125. The duo battled evenly for a minute with neither man creating an advantage. Nelson used a low single to open up a 2-0 lead with a takedown at the 1:46 mark. Schnupp escaped shortly after and action resumed in the center circle with Schnupp down 2-1. Schnupp blew through a high double to a single leg at the :50 mark and worked to pull Nelson back onto the mat but the junior fought his way out of bounds, picking up a first stall. Nelson chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 3-1 lead. Schnupp connected on a high single but once again could not break through Nelson's defense and a reset was called at the 1:15 mark. Schnupp turned a quick scramble into a near takedown but Nelson countered for a stalemate at the :17 mark to hold his two point lead. Trailing 3-1, Schnupp chose down to start the third period. The Lion freshman steadily worked his way to his feet for an escaped, cutting the lead to 3-2 with 1:42 on the clock. Nelson finished off a fast single for a takedown and a 5-2 lead with 1:15 left. Schnupp reversed the Bearcat and cut him loose at the :20 mark and quickly turned in for a single leg. Nelson was able to hold off the flurry and, with 1:17 in riding time, post a hard-fought 7-4 win. 133: Senior Corey Keener (Schuylkill Haven, Pa.), ranked No. 15 at 133, met Bearcat senior Jacob Nicholson. Keener and Nicholson traded slight shots early in the bout before Nicholson tripped the Lion senior to the mat for a takedown and a 2-0 lead. Keener escaped after :20 and action resumed in the center circle with 1:10 on the clock. Keener seemingly had a takedown with :25 on the clock but no takedown was given and Keener trailed 2-1 after one period. Keener chose down to start the second period and steadily worked his way to a reversal and a 3-2 lead. The Lion senior then worked the action from the top position, building up :29 in riding time with the rideout. Nicholson chose down to start the second stanza and Keener broke the Bearcat down to maintain control on top. Keener's riding time moved over 1:00 with the Lion still looking to turn Nicholson for back points. Keener slipped after a reset and Nicholson took advantage for a reversal and a 4-3 lead. But the Lion senior countered with his own reversal and rolled the Bearcat over for two points plus four back points. The fast move, plus 1:27 in riding time, gave Keener a 10-4 win. 141: Junior Jered Cortez (Carol Stream, Ill.) tangled with junior Joe Russ at 141. Cortez scored quickly, turning a fast high single into a takedown and a 2-1 lead at the :30 mark. The Lion junior then blew through a high double leg and nearly picked up a two point near fall but Russ rolled through and escaped to a 4-2 Cortez lead with 1:45 on the clock. Cortez added a third takedown with :50 left to move out to a 6-2 lead. Cortez controlled the action from the top position, working the clock down to 0:00 with a rideout and led 6-2 after one. Cortez chose down to start the second period and deftly moved around the Bearcat for a reversal and an 8-2 lead. Russ was unable to break free of Cortez's strong ride and the Lion worked his time advantage up over 2:00. Cortez maintained control for the full two minutes and led 8-2 with 2:37 in time after two periods. Cortez chose down to start the third period and escaped to a 9-2 lead with 1:38 left to wrestle. With his riding time point clinched, Cortez added on a final takedown and rolled to a 12-2 major with 2:33 in riding time. 149: Senior Zain Retherford (Benton, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 149, met sophomore Frankie Garcia. Retherford scored first, working Garcia's shoulders and moving behind the Bearcat for a takedown and a 2-0 lead with 2:05 on the clock. Garcia was able to scramble his way to a reversal and a 2-2 tie with 1:17 on the clock before Retherford escaped to a 3-2 lead. Retherford used a fast low ankle pick to up his lead to 5-2 with :40 left and then turned the Bearcat to his back for another first period pin, this one at the 2:37 mark. 157: Junior Jason Nolf (Yatesboro, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 157, battled Binghamton's Tristan Rifanburg. Nolf worked the middle of the mat, stepping away from a couple Rifanburg shots while looking for a chance to score on his own. The Lion notched his first takedown at the :40 mark and, after a reset, locked up a cradle and tacked on four back points to lead 6-0 after one period. Garcia chose down to start the second period and Nolf cut the Bearcat loose to a 6-1 lead. Nolf turned a low Garcia shot into a scramble and a takedown of his own, upping his lead to 8-1. He then locked up another cradle and this time finished off the pin at the 4:23 mark. 165: Sophomore Vincenzo Joseph (Pittsburgh, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 165, met Bearcat junior Vincent DePrez. Joseph came out fast offensively, turning a low single into a takedown and an early 2-0 lead. He cut DePrez loose and began looking to score again. Joseph nearly broke through on a high double but DePrez was able to step back and keep the bout close with 1:25 on the clock. The Lion continued to force the action, keeping DePrez backing away while forcing him into a first stall warning. Leading 2-1, Joseph chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 3-1 lead. Joseph worked in on another high single and DePrez fought the move off once again, keeping the bout close with defense. Joseph's offensive pressure paid off, however, rolling around the Bearcat for a second takedown and a 5-1 lead with 1:00 on the clock. Joseph rode the Bearcat out and led 5-1 with 1:02 in time after two periods. DePrez chose down to start the third period and Joseph cut him loose. He then blew through a double leg for a third takedown and a 7-3 lead. The Lion sophomore then worked DePrez's shoulders to the mat and spent the last minute turning the Bearcat, picking up four near fall points. A 2:55 riding time edge gave the Lion a 13-2 major decision. 174: Sophomore Mark Hall (Apple Valley, Minn.), ranked No. 2 at 174, faced off against Anthony Lombardo. Hall worked his way through a high single and, after a short scramble, took a 2-0 lead with the takedown. Hall was able to turn Lombardo but could not nab the back points as the Bearcat scrambled through Hall's early efforts for back points. Hall maintained control for the remainder of the period and led 2-0 with 2:15 in riding time after the opening stanza. Hall chose down to start the second period and quickly worked himself into control, going chest-to-chest on the reversal and finishing off the reversal-to-pin in just :14. Hall's fall came at the 3:14 mark. 184: Junior Bo Nickal (Allen, Texas), ranked No. 1 at 184, tangled with No. 14 Steven Schneider of Binghamton in one of the dual's most anticipated match-ups. Nickal scored first, working body control into a takedown at the 1:09 mark (nearly turning Schneider in the process). The Bearcat was able to fight off back points and action resumed in the center circle after a reset. Schneider escaped briefly but Nickal slid down with just :05 left for a second takedown and a 4-1 lead as the clock expired. Nickal chose down to start the second period and quickly reversed the ranked Bearcat to open up a 6-1 lead. Nickal worked the top position, looking for an opening to turn Schneider for a pin. Nickal dominated the action and finished on top to lead 6-1 with 2:46 in riding time after two periods. Schneider chose down to start the third period and Nickal cut him loose. Nickal then quickly added three more takedowns to up his lead to 12-4 with :44 on the clock and a clinched riding time point. Nickal picked up his fourth takedown of the third period to up his lead to 15-4 and finished on top with 3:43 in time to post the 15-6 major. Binghamton lost a team point for unsportsmanlike conduct at the end of the bout as well. 197: Sophomore Anthony Cassar (Rocky Hill, N.J.) battled Binghamton junior Mark Tracy. Cassar came out fast, nothing an early takedown to open up a quick lead and then tacking on a second less than a minute into the bout to lead 4-2 early. Cassar was the aggressor for the rest of the opening period but Tracy was able to keep the match close. Trailing 4-2, Tracy chose down to start the second period and Cassar controlled the action from the top position, working his riding time up over 1:00 and nearly picking up back points with a quick turn. Tracy rolled through the turn and the bout continued with Cassar leading by two points at the 1:00 mark. Tracy escaped but Cassar roared through a high double to lead 6-3 with 2:28 in riding time after two periods. Cassar used a hard low double to open up a 9-4 lead after cutting Tracy loose at the :38 mark. Cassar nearly finished off the final takedown but Tracy was able to kill the clock. Cassar posted 2:27 in riding time and rolled to a 10-4 win. 285: Junior Nick Nevills (Clovis, Calif.), ranked No. 3 at 285, took on Binghamton junior Connor Calkins. Nevills scored quickly, notching a takedown in front of the Penn State bench at the 2:33 mark to lead 2-0 early. Nevills worked the top position for two back points with 1:20 on the clock and then cut Calkins loose to a 4-1 score. Trailing 4-1, Calkins chose down to start the second period and Nevills went to work on top, looking for a turning combination. The Lion junior worked for arm control but Calkins was able to belly out and avoid the turn for over a minute. Nevills ended the period on top and led 4-1 with 3:23 in riding time after two periods. The Lion junior chose down to start the third period. He steadily worked his way to an escape and a 5-1 lead with riding time clinched. Nevills turned a low single into a takedown and cut with :28 left on the clock. The Lion added two late takedowns and, with 2:39 in time, posted the 12-3 major decision.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- The youth movement has begun, and Cornell wrestling proved that rebuilding isn't part of the plan. The Big Red won seven matches, including three over ranked wrestlers, as the home team won its ninth consecutive dual meet with a 30-10 victory over No. 13 Northern Iowa on Friday evening at Newman Arena. Cornell six of the Big Red victories came courtesy of wrestlers who had combined to compete in one varsity dual. Sophomore Chaz Tucker got the party started with a second period fall, the first of three pins by Big Red wrestlers that set the tone for the team's largest margin of victory against a ranked team since a 34-0 sweep of No. 16 Virginia Tech in 2014. Freshman Max Dean had the biggest win of the day, holding on late after building a solid lead to top returning All-American and fourth-ranked Drew Foster at 184 pounds. Sophomore Mike Russo also earned a win over a ranked opponent, using a pair of four-point turns to claim a 10-4 win over No. 19 Jay Schwarm at 125. Freshman Yianni Diakohimalis earned his stripes with a 5-2 triumph over No. 14 Josh Alber. The Panthers won at 149 and 157 to get back within 9-7, but the Big Red won five of the final six matches of the dual, including the final four. Junior Jon Jay Chavez and freshman Ben Darmstadt also racked up six points with falls, with Chavez winning a wild one of Dan Kelly with a pin in the final seconds of the second period in a match he was well on the way to winning by bonus points. Darmstadt finished Jacob Holschlag at 197 midway through the first period after jumping out to a decisive lead. In the headline match of the day, eighth-ranked Taylor Lujan was able to hold off Cornell's returning All-American Brandon Womack by a 5-3 score. The 174-pound match was high-flying, but low-scoring for the amount of scrambling both wrestlers did. Ben Honis, an NCAA qualifier a year ago at 197, stepped up to heavyweight and was able to control his match with Carter Isley, eventually winning 8-4 to improve to 5-1 on the season. A number of Big Red wrestlers will compete in the New York State Championships on Sunday, Nov. 19 at Barton Hall. Cornell will be looking for its record 13th title overall and its sixth consecutive.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa wrestling team opened its 2017-18 dual season with three wins Friday at the Iowa City Duals inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes blanked Iowa Central, 48-0, defeated Buffalo, 33-6, and finished the sweep with a 38-6 win over North Dakota State. The Hawkeyes won 27 of 30 matches, scoring bonus points in 20 bouts. All-Americans Brandon Sorensen (149) and Michael Kemerer (157) both scored bonus points in each of their three wins. Sorensen won by pin, technical fall, and major decision. Kemerer pinned his first two opponents before winning by technical fall, 17-2, against No. 14 Clay Ream of North Dakota State. Kemerer and Sorensen were two of eight Hawkeyes to open the season 3-0. The others include Vince Turk (141), Kaleb Young (165), Joey Gunther (174), Mitch Bowman (184), Cash Wilcke (197), and Sam Stoll (285). QUOTING COACH TOM BRANDS "We had to get ready for three bouts, and the way you prepare is how you're going to wrestle. We were getting in a routine, solidifying a mat, and being a part of the one-hour weigh in for the first time. I think for the most part, today was good. "On the bottom we were strong, and on top, that has to be fun watching that many back points. Our footwork in the neutral position made it easier for us in other positions and we were wrestling hard the entire match." GUESS WHO'S BACK? Sam Stoll made his first appearance on the mat since Jan. 15 and picked up three wins in three bouts. He opened the season with a first-period pin, and closed his day with a fall in 6:13. Stoll has 32 career wins, 15 by fall. He worked overtime in his second match of the day, winning 4-3 on riding time criteria against No. 20 Jake Gunning of Buffalo. FIRST IMPRESSIONS Turk and Young impressed in their Carver-Hawkeye Arena debuts. Turk, who was 1-0 last season before being sidelined due to injury, picked up three bonus-point wins, earning two technical falls and one major decision at 141. He outscored his opponents 49-9. Young won by technical fall and major decision in his first two collegiate matches, and finished the day with a 3-2 win against No. 20 Andrew Fogarty. STRONG FINISH Bowman scored a takedown in the final minute to erase a 4-3 deficit and earn a 5-4 against Tyler McNutt of NDSU at 184, improving to 3-0 on the day. He opened the season with a first-period pin and won his second match, 10-4. Bowman had just one career bout at 184 pounds prior to today. He made a combined six appearances 197 and 285 last season. REMOVE THE REDSHIRT Freshman Justin Stickley became the first true freshman to wrestle under Tom Brands since Nathan Burak in 2012-13. Stickley was 1-2 today at 125 pounds, winning by technical fall, dropping an 8-4 decision, and losing by fall in 1:53. NOTABLES Justin Stickley, Kaleb Young, Paul Glynn, Vince Turk, made their Carver-Hawkeye Arena debuts. Iowa improved to 31-0 in the 10-year history of the Iowa City Duals.

The College of Mount Saint Vincent has named Joe Regan as head wrestling coach, the NCAA Division III school located just north of Manhattan revealed at its website. Regan replaces Dean Zenie who had been at the helm of the Dolphins mat program for the past two seasons. A native of Putnam Valley, N.Y., Regan brings practical coaching experience to the Mount Saint Vincent wrestling program, starting at Mahopac High School in 2002, where, in five years at the helm, he coached three section champions and guided the team to four section team title. Regan then took his talents to Westchester Community College, where he reigned as head coach until 2015. Regan plans to use that experience in his new position at Mount Saint Vincent. "During my time at WCC, I wanted to build a brand and turn something small into something big," Regan said. "That's what I plan on doing here." "While it'll be a challenge in this strong wrestling area, I believe I'll have the ability to make a strong program," Regan continued. "After meeting with the team, it was easy to see we have a great group of guys on the roster. I love what they bring to the table." "This year will be a rebuilding year. But day in and day out we will get better, grow and create a foundation that we can build upon. But in the long term, the area of the school will help us bring in great recruits. It'll give us the chance to make something fantastic here." Founded in 1847, College of Mount Saint Vincent is a four-year, private, Roman Catholic school located in Riverdale, N.Y. in New York City in the borough of The Bronx. The school has an enrollment of approximately 1,500 students.

Funeral services have been announced for Steve Peterson, former Concordia College and coach at Centennial High School, both in Minnesota. Peterson, who had been battling brain cancer for the past 18 months, passed away last Friday, Nov. 10. He was 35. The funeral will be held this Saturday at 11 a.m., at the gym of his alma mater, Chisago Lakes High School, 29400 Olinda Trail, Lindstrom, Minn. just north of Minneapolis-St. Paul. There will be a wrestling mat at the services -- half Chisago Lakes, half Centennial -- to represent the schools where he wrestled and where he coached, respectively. A reception will take place immediate following burial at Chisago Lake Township Hall, 12400 316th Street in Lindstrom. Steve Peterson wrestled at ConcordiaSteven "Stu" Peterson was born March 30, 1982 in St. Croix Falls, Wis. to Mike and Karen Peterson. He graduated from Chisago Lakes High School in 2000. Peterson headed west to Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. where he played football and wrestled at 157 pounds. He graduated in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education. Peterson had coached at Centennial High for nearly a dozen years, first as an assistant to John Begeland, then as head coach for the past two years. In both positions, his wrestlers affectionately called him "Coach Petey." If that weren't enough, Peterson was employed as an operations manager at Peterson Companies, the family business. Despite his cancer battle, Peterson had every expectation to return to coaching yet another season, his family told Brian Hegseth, Centennial's activities director. "They asked us to be patient, because he was still hoping to be back on the job when the season started," Hegseth said. "By mid-October, they said we should be making contingency plans." Peterson is survived by his parents; grandfathers Curtis Peterson and Maurice Peterson; his siblings and their spouses Jenny and Steve Farr, Jon and Candyce Peterson, Curt and Kristen Peterson, and Kristi and Brad Pitlik; his girlfriend Mariah Stoeckman; nieces and nephews, and aunts.

Kyle Snyder earned a fall last weekend in Ohio State's 31-12 win over Arizona State. Snyder was dominating the match, but rather than cruising towards a technical fall, he fought for a pin. Enter: The Pin Chain. The Ohio State wrestling team first passed around a large Ohio State "O" to 2016 NCAA champion Myles Martin during the match, but it was Olympic champion Snyder's image which went viral, leading to many outsiders, and wrestling diehards, to weigh in on the idea of the Pin Chain in wrestling. Of course, the Pin Chain wasn't without inspiration. The undefeated University of Miami football program's "Turnover Chain" has captivated much of college sports. The large, golden (and gaudy) "U" logo is worn proudly around the neck of a player who recovers a turnover. The chain, much like "The U" in general, was met with a range of responses, most commonly a branding of "thugs," or interstellar levels of hype and delight. The former a dog whistle for all those "traditionalists" dolts who linger on the fringes of sport commentary to come down with judgement of player's values and work ethic. Normally the crossover between football and wrestling is limited to weekly articles about how our sport can help support the development of their athletes, but with the Turnover Chain and the Pin Chain we saw a brackish mix of culture, race and reflection normally reserved for only football. The Pin Chain and connection to "The U" is a confluence of events that would typically send Wrestling Twitter into a hate-spewing cannibalistic gorge. However, for the most part backlash against the Pin Chain was somewhat subdued, nearly underwhelming. There were fans (there are always "fans") who took issue with the originality of the chain, or the need to celebrate winning with anything other than a dead sprint into the locker room. But mostly it was approval. Kind, enthusiastic, positive approval. As for Miami? Well, this isn't a column about football, but I'm hoping to see those guys keep celebrating their talents and hard work. Bravo, men. To your questions … Q: Why do people put too much on the All-Star Classic and the month of November? -- @chunkofweave Foley: Anytime two of the best wrestlers in the nation wrestle fans will buzz about the consequences. The wrestlers put in a lot of work this summer and I think that in this first match there is at least a little bit of insight into how they developed in the past seven months. The emphasis on the match is really just the celebration of the season returning. The All-Star Classic is a kickoff event that builds chatter and gets us wrestling folk firing off late night tweets! Q: This may prove too difficult due to changing of weight classes over the years, but I thought it would be fun. Adding the old 118-pound class to the current weight classes, what would be your all-time NCAA lineup? Mine is below. 118: Sammie Henson 125: Stephen Abas 133: Tom Brands 141: Logan Stieber 149: Zain Retherford 157: Pat Smith 165: Kyle Dake 174: Ed Banach 184: Cael Sanderson 197: J'den Cox 285: Kyle Snyder -- Jared W. Foley: Tough to not have a significant bias for the wrestlers of recent years, but I think that you have a really nice collection of the top wrestlers from a few significant eras. Most of your chosen wrestlers are those with the most titles in the weight category, which is a perfectly reasonable manner by which to weigh them against predecessors. As you mentioned, there is some issue with weight classes and the shifting over the years. J'den Cox at 197 and Ed Banach at 174 pounds both have credible cases, but then maybe you should also have Cael at 197 pounds? Not an easy task. What are your thoughts on Ben Askren? John Smith? Jake Rosholt? And is Zain really the best-ever 149-pounder?! Also, I would put Joe Williams on my list. All-time great. San Francisco State coach Jason Welch coaching against Fresno State (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Q: I always enjoyed Jason Welch's approach to the sport, so it's great to see him as a head coach at the Division II level at San Francisco State. Thoughts on him as a coach? Also, do you think he has aspirations of becoming a Division I head wrestling coach? -- Mike C. Foley: I'm sure Jason would love to be a Division I head coach, but the San Francisco job was the perfect opportunity to ramp up his CEO skills in addition to refining his mat coaching. Many assistant coaches at the Division I program want to be a head coach someday, but it is very difficult to land one of the jobs, and even more difficult to get one where you can learn all the complexities that go into managing student-athletes, staff and alumni. Going smaller is one of the most effective methods in learning about programmatic leadership. Q: Is negative recruiting rampant in Division I? Should Tom Brands/Iowa name names of who is negatively recruiting against them? -- @dunkej01 Foley: The top programs are making the differences in their programs known to recruits. While some schools try to not talk about other schools in a negative light there is always a coach, athlete, alum or stakeholder who spells out exactly what is wrong with another place. What I don't think happens is that someone takes the time to travel to school X and only hears about how terrible school Y is to attend. The negative recruiting is deployed with fewer words -- slight comments meant to show the relative strength of your program to someone else's. This subtle burn is the most effective technique I've seen deployed by top coaches -- enough of the gossip to make you second guess, but not enough to where you think poorly of the messenger. They absolutely should name names and tell the stories. I think that wrestling is ripe for some serious accusations of ethical misconduct. The only concern of course is that whoever fires those first shots be ready to absorb a deluge of criticism about that decision and potentially face the wrath of those they've outed. Would Tom Brands want to risk damaging his name and that of Iowa wrestling? Likely not. He's a smart guy and he's making adjustments based on new information, but for now he's keeping that three-ring binder close to chest and letting the wrestling community sort out the rest. Q: Minnesota is bringing in a strong recruiting class that includes top recruit Gabe Steveson. The Gophers signed five top 100-recruits. It seems like Brandon Eggum is really doing a nice job since J Robinson was fired. Are you surprised the drug scandal didn't set the program back further? -- Mike C. Foley: I'm not that surprised. Brandon Eggum was always considered a top coach and since what J Rob taught was a system it was repeatable by whoever followed. Would Minnesota have gone outside of the program there was likely to be some shift in their success, and likely downward. The drug scandal itself really didn't hurt Minnesota's wrestling image anywhere except on forums and some national media. The wrestling community recognized the issue for what it was and seemed to support J Rob. Maybe the circumstances should have been handled with something closer to bureaucratic perfection, but few seemed to doubt the spirit with which J Rob led and disciplined his team. With his reputation much intact it was easy to see a transition to Eggum being easy. I am surprised that they almost seem to be to performing better since J Rob's firing. MULTIMEDIA HALFTIME When college signing announcements go slightly wrong (HT Kyle Simmons) ... Q: How does someone who hasn't yet wrestled at a weight class this year … or last … end up ranked No. 1 at the weight class to start the new year? Speaking of Nathan Tomasello of Ohio State at 125 pounds. He's certainly likely to end up in this spot in March, but to start the season? -- The Doc Foley: Rankings are an incredibly difficult job with a lot of moving parts. Most ranking bodies have guidelines they use to make the decision, but there are times when a wrestler moves weight classes that some ranking bodies force them into the rankings to ensure there is some type of human element correcting their previously made objective guidelines. Q: I know that technically the All-Star Classic is considered an exhibition match. Some rankings, such as InterMat, considered the matches in their updated rankings this week, dropping Darian Cruz and Mark Hall and upgrading Nick Piccininni and Nick Nevills. One set of rankings ignored the results. What would happen if both Zahid Valencia and Mark Hall run the table this season and go into March Madness undefeated? Who's the No. 1 seed? Will the coaches/seeding committee pretend that the All-Star Classic didn't happen, or will they reward the winner of that match, Valencia, with the No. 1 seed? And this would be pretty important decision with Bo Jordan at No. 3. Speaking of BoJo, he has a lot to say about this. BoJo lost to Valencia last weekend and they could meet again at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. BoJo likely faces Hall in both the dual and the Big Ten finals. So maybe things will be clear. But is there any precedent or NCAA guidance for seeding when it comes to All-Star Classic results? And for the record, I think Bo makes it closer with Valencia if they do meet at CKLV, but likely loses again. I think Bo and Mark Hall will again wrestle close matches. -- Bob D. Foley: The NCAA does not consider the All-Star Classic for NCAA tournament seeding, nor do they consult the polls of any website. The NCAA has their own reliable (objective?) system. You're right that many rankings consider the All-Star Classic. I'm on the side of considering the results in the media rankings, but not in the NCAA rankings, since it might keep some wrestlers from competing. Q: Bellator is doing a year-long grand prix heavyweight tournament in 2018. The participants are Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Roy Nelson, Chael Sonnen, Frank Mir, "King Mo" Lawal, Fedor Emelianenko, Matt Mitrione and Ryan Bader. Who do you see coming out on top? -- Mike C. Foley: Ryan Bader! He's been a monster of late and has only improved since hitting the Bellator circuit. But don't get too excited. The last time Scott Coker made a Heavyweight Grand Prix it didn't finish because the UFC bought Strikeforce.

FAIRFAX, Va. -- Redshirt senior 141-pounder Jack Hathaway recorded his second consecutive pin as the Beavers improved to 2-0 on the season with a 32-9 win over George Mason on Thursday night. "I think we need some tougher matches, we haven't really had any of those yet. I think a lot of guys hit a wall and had to wrestle through it," began head coach Zalesky. "That's what you need to do because you are going to get into tough matches." Oregon State went open at the 125-pound weight class, surrendering a 6-0 lead to start the match. At 133, redshirt freshman Devan Turner won by major decision 12-0 over Victor Echeverria. He led 11-0 at the end of regulation, but got the riding time point by amassing nearly six minutes of riding time. Cutting the Patriots lead to 6-4. No. 17 Hathaway recorded his second straight pin. At 141-pounds Hathaway pinned Trevor Mello in 2:30. Oregon State took the lead for the first time, 10-6, and never looked back. At 149-pounds, sophomore Kurt Mode won by decision 10-5 over Matthew Raines. Mode improves to 2-0 on the season. Freshman Hunter Willits continued his perfect start to the season with a 10-5 decision over Bryce Reddington. The Beavers held a 16-6 advantage following the win. In the only dropped bout of the evening for Oregon State redshirt sophomore Billy Bigelow dropped a 6-4 decision to Creed Lumpp. Lumpp managed a takedown in the waning moments of the third period securing the win. A major decision at 174-pounds by freshman Myles Terry pushed the Beavers lead to 20-9. Terry won 12-4 over Brendan May. That marks two freshman on the Oregon State lineup with 2-0 starts on the year. Redshirt sophomore Seth McLeod had a defensive first few seconds of the match, but turned it around quickly with a 10-point first period, and led 10-0. McLeod went on to win by technical fall 16-1 over Levko Higgins. Redshirt junior, and the 15th ranked 197-pounder, Corey Griego didn't surrender a point as he went on to a major decision over Philip Stolfi of George Mason. Greigo won 8-0 and gave the Beavers a 29-9 lead. In the final bout of the night at heavyweight, redshirt senior Cody Crawford found himself down 4-1 after the first period. From there, Crawford only gave up one point and scored eight for a 9-5 decision over Matthew Voss. Crawford used his experience and size to win. "It was experience," said Zalesky. "He had both of those takedowns in the first [period], but he turned the wrong way on both of them and that's something we have worked on. "He got down 4-1, but he came back and won. He found a way to win." "It was experience," said Zalesky. "It was his first match, and he had both of those take downs in the first, but he turned the wrong way on both of them. He got down 4-1 but he came back and won, he found a way to win." The Beavers are back in action on Saturday, Nov. 18 at the Navy Classic in Annapolis, Md. "We'll have 15 guys at the Navy Classic," said Zalesky. "We'll have some extra guys there to get them some experience."

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. -- The Indiana wrestling team opened their dual meet schedule with a thrilling 19-18 win at Bloomsburg on Thursday evening. The Hoosiers (1-0) won the meet on the final score of the night as junior Fletcher Miller (285) took down Bruce Graeber for the sudden victory decision, 7-5. The true separator on the scoreline came from junior Bryce Martin (165), who provided a crucial bonus point on his 13-4 major decision after the midpoint. Junior Cole Weaver (141) also earned bonus points with a 2:00 win by fall, offsetting a Bloomsburg (1-2) pin two matches later. "Some of our guys showed great composure in tough situations tonight; others still have some work to do," said Indiana head coach Duane Goldman. "The Navy Classic will be another opportunity for us to develop and improve." Miller Thriller By the time the pair of heavyweights took the mat for the final match of the night, with Bloomsburg leading the meet 18-16, the crowd at Nelson Field House was at full throat. Graeber had a slight advantage after five of scoreless wrestling with a full ride through the second period, increasing Miller's pressure with a team win at stake. The final period was a scoring frenzy by comparison, as Miller and Graeber combined for 10 points. Miller scored the only two takedowns in regulation and earned a stall point to even Graeber's riding time to force sudden victory. Just before the minute mark in the added period, Miller fired the shot. He scored a takedown to win his first dual match and IU's first dual meet of the season. Miller is off to a 5-1 start this season with three pins and the team's fastest pin of the year (1:00, Clarion Open). Spark with a Stamp Weaver led the Hoosiers' tally and evened Bloomsburg's two-win start with a first period win by fall over Braden Stahlnecker at 141 lbs. The only takedown Weaver needed came 54 seconds into the bout. After a minute on top, Weaver found his moment and stuck his man in two minutes flat. The fall is Weaver's first of his season and the fifth win by fall in the IU singlet. Weaver now has a 5-1 record, the best start to a season of his career. Martin's Major Trailing 12-9 after the halfway mark, the Hoosiers sought to retake the lead in Martin's matchup with Anthony Vetrano. Martin delivered with big result -- and the dual meet's most important team point -- winning 13-4 by major decision. Martin conceded the first takedown but rallied for a 7-4 lead after three minutes, scoring four back points before Vetrano's reversal at the end of the period. The Hoosier junior started neutral in the second and earned another takedown with a two-point tilt and a riding time lock, notching his second major decision of the year. Big Two for Tunon Davey Tunon (149) gave Indiana their first lead with his first career dual victory in his first opportunity, a 4-1 decision over Ryan Stocku. Tunon scored a takedown midway through the first period, added an escape point in the second, and rode out the third to lock up his riding time point. Back on Track Sophomore Devin Skatzka (174) rebounded from his first loss of the season in the Clarion Open championship match with a 10-6 decision over Kyle Murphy. The result required Skatzka's resilience as he endured a series of momentum swings in his first dual encounter. Murphy gained a 2-0 lead in the first period before Skatzka's five-point sequence, scoring a takedown and a two-point nearfall during a 1:22 ride. Skatzka extended his 5-3 lead to 8-3 in the second period, grabbing another takedown after his escape. A third period takedown neutralized Murphy's reversal and sealed Skatzka's fourth win this season. Results: 125 Willy Girard (4-2) dec. Elijah Oliver (4-3) 12-5 BU, 3-0 133 Andy Schutz (7-2) dec.
