Ohio Wesleyan University announced on Wednesday that it will reinstate its men's wrestling program. Women's rowing was also added to Ohio Wesleyan's sports roster. "It is a bold move to add two new sports, but they will provide great opportunities for our student-athletes," said Roger Ingles, the school's athletic director. Through the addition of these two new programs, the growth of the Ohio Wesleyan athletics department will play an integral part in the University's strategic growth." A head coach is expected to be in place for the wrestling program by July 1. The program will compete as a club sport in 2017-18 and begin as a varsity sport in 2018-19. Ohio Wesleyan becomes the second NCAC school to sponsor a men's wrestling program, joining Wabash College. "We are excited about reinstating the men's wrestling program," Ingles said. "Wrestling has continued to be active on campus through our club system and has registered high interest among our student body. Ohio Wesleyan's location -- in the center of several states with outstanding high school wrestling -- and our past wrestling history and success will allow us to develop a highly competitive program." Ohio Wesleyan sponsored a varsity wrestling program from 1954-84. The program was led by coach Ray Leech, who coached 16 Ohio Athletic Conference individual champions. Founded in 1842, Ohio Wesleyan University is located in Delaware, Ohio, just north of Columbus. The school has an enrollment of approximately 1,700 students.

STILLWATER -- Legendary Oklahoma State wrestler Doug Blubaugh will be inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame as part of the 2017 induction class, it was announced on Tuesday. Blubaugh is one of six inductees for this year's class that also includes OSU basketball great Bryant "Big Country" Reeves, Oklahoma decathlete Jeff Bennett, professional baseball player Bill Greason, University of Central Oklahoma wrestling coach David James and Oklahoma quarterback Jason White. Blubaugh won the 1960 Olympic gold medal at 160.5 pounds, as well as recognition as the outstanding wrestler in the world. Collegiately, Blubaugh won an NCAA individual title and three All-America honors for Oklahoma State in 1957, and National AAU Freestyle titles in 1957 and 1959. A year before his Olympic run, he won a gold medal in the 1959 Pan-American Games in Chicago, matching the 1955 achievement of his brother, Jack. They were the first brothers to capture Pan-Am titles. From a competitive career totaling more than 400 victories against just 17 defeats, Blubaugh turned to coaching. After seven years as an assistant at Michigan State, during which he helped the Spartans to the NCAA title in 1967, and was Freestyle coach of United States teams in the 1971 Pan-American Games and World Championships, he spent a decade as head coach at Indiana University. Blubaugh was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame as a Distinguished Member in 1979. The induction ceremony for this year's class will be held Aug. 14 at the Riverwind Showplace Theatre in Norman, Okla.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Former University of Central Oklahoma coaching great David James became the first person in school history to be named to the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame, it was announced Tuesday during a Leadership Luncheon at the Jim Thorpe Museum and Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame. Other members of the 2017 class of inductees are Doug Blubaugh (Oklahoma State wrestling), Bryant Reeves (OSU basketball), Jason White (Oklahoma football), Jeff Bennett (Oklahoma Christian track and field), Bill Greason (baseball) and Bill Krisher (Oklahoma football). Formal induction is set for Aug. 14 at the Riverwind Casino Showplace Theatre. "I'm very humbled and honored," said James, who spent 34 years as UCO's head wrestling coach following a stellar four-year career as a competitor for the Bronchos. "It's overwhelming to become part of such an elite group and I'm very appreciative. I was blessed to work with outstanding wrestlers and coaches throughout my career and I share this honor with everybody who was a part of our program. "I couldn't have coached as long as I did without the incredible support of my wife (Cherrie) and our two girls (Hayden and Ryann). They put up with a lot over the years and I wouldn't have been able to coach as long as I did without their love and encouragement." James was UCO's head coach from 1982-2016, leading the Bronchos to 12 national championships – second-most among all college coaches at any level -- and racking up a 396-144-5 dual record during an amazing 34-year career. He ranks 40th on all levels of college wrestling in dual wins. UCO captured NAIA national titles in 1984, '85, '86, '87 and '89 and NCAA Division II crowns in 1992, '93, '94, '95, '02, '03 and '07 under James' tutelage, earning him National Coach of the Year honors seven times. James coached 48 individual national champions and 182 All-Americans at UCO while guiding the Bronchos to 19 regional titles and 24 top-four national tournament finishes, including five runner-up showings. A Del City native, James became UCO's first four-time All-American during his career with the Bronchos from 1976-80. He finished third as a freshman and second as a sophomore before winning back-to-back NAIA national titles his final two years and finished with a 116-16 record. It will be the sixth hall of fame induction for James, who is also a member of the NAIA Hall of Fame (1988), the UCO Athletic Hall of Fame (1991), the NCAA Division II Wrestling Hall of Fame (2005), the Oklahoma Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame (2007) and the Del City High School Hall of Fame (2008). The Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame inducted its first class in 1986, with 160 individuals and teams now enshrined. UCO cross country head coach J.D. Martin was inducted in 2005 after serving as OU's track and field/cross country coach for 33 years before retiring and then later coming to Central.

Desmond Green Desmond Green, former University at Buffalo wrestler, has been added to the card at UFC 210, making his debut in the Ultimate Fighting Championships, the Buffalo News reported Monday. Green will go up against Josh Emmett in a lightweight (155-pound) bout on April 8 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo. At the top of the card for the UFC 210 event will feature former Oklahoma State NCAA finalist and two-time Olympic wrestler Daniel Cormier will defend his light heavyweight title Anthony Johnson. The 27-year-old Green launched his professional MMA career in April 2012, compiling an overall record of 19-5. Competing for Titan Fighting Championships since 2014, Green is currently on a four-match win streak going back to March 2016, usually fighting welterweight (170 pounds). As a Buffalo Bull wrestler, Green was a three-time NCAA qualifier, and a two-time Mid-American Conference (MAC) champ at 149 pounds in 2009 and 2010. Prior to that, the Rochester native was a New York state wrestling champ for Rush-Henrietta High School.

It might not be a surprise considering that he is the son of Terry Brands, the associate head coach at the University of Iowa, but two-time state champion Nelson Brands (Iowa City West, Iowa) declared his intent to wrestle for the Hawkeyes after his high school career ends next season. Nelson won his second state title this past Saturday at 152 pounds after striking gold at 138 pounds last year. The projected 165-pound wrestler in college was a Greco-Roman All-American at both the UWW Cadet and Junior Nationals last spring. He joins Gavin Teasdale (Jefferson Morgan, Pa.) as a notable verbal commit to Iowa for the Class of 2018.

The Ultimate Fantasy Wrestling Challenge will coincide with the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships Participation in fantasy sports competitions is booming in just about every athletic activity, from football to basketball, golf to NASCAR. Fans of the oldest and greatest sport aren't stuck on the sidelines, as fantasy wrestling is now generating greater levels of interest and participation, according to wrestling journalist Matt Krumrie's feature this month at USA Wrestling. Now wrestling fans can get in on the action -- and help grow the sport they love -- by participating in the Ultimate Fantasy Wrestling Challenge, a unique, live-auction fantasy wrestling event to coincide with the 2017 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. The events include a live auction event as well as a 2017 Fantasy Wrestling National Championship bracket contest. Proceeds from these events will go to USA Wrestling and the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA). The live auction event takes place at Ballpark Village, 601 Clark Street, in downtown St. Louis on Wednesday, March 15, the evening before the three-day wrestling championships. Doors open at 5:00 p.m.; the event starts at 6:30 p.m. Each live auction attendee will receive a "participation package" of swag, including subscriptions to various wrestling websites and publications, memberships, and wearables, with a total value of $500 according to event sponsors. The team winning first prize will claim a championship trophy, NWCA membership, and four tickets to future premium wrestling championship events in St. Louis. In addition, there will be the 2017 Fantasy Wrestling National Championship that allows wrestling fans to get involved in a mega-fantasy wrestling bracket event. For $20 per entry, each participant chooses ten wrestlers per entry, one from each weight class. Each entry must stay within a $1,000 salary cap. (Salary cap costs are based on average rankings from several top- ranking websites.) Wrestler scoring follows tournament scoring rules. "Fantasy wrestling is a fun way to compete with your friends to show who knows more about wrestling," David Mirikitani, creator of Ultimate Fantasy Wrestling Challenge, told Krumrie. "It's a fun way to brag to friends about knowing more than them. But really, anything like this that can drive interest in wrestling is beneficial to the sport." Jonny Ruggiano, public relations director for the Titan Mercury Wrestling Club, told Krumrie that fantasy leagues are not only fun, but also offer fans a chance to engage with favorite wrestlers and teams. And, when it comes to promoting wrestling, the more engagement, the more life-long fans the sport will have. "What I love about fantasy wrestling leagues is that it enables both the obsessed fan and the casual fan to learn more about the sport," said Ruggiano. "I also love the fact that in fantasy leagues, friends can get together and enjoy talking about their speculations. In a sport like wrestling, there is not much predictability, so fantasy leagues open up a lot of room for excitement for the fans."

Kevin Dresser coaching at the 2017 NWCA Division I National Duals (Photo/HokieSports.com) AMES, Iowa -- Kevin Dresser, the 2016 National Wrestling Coaches' Association Coach of the Year, has agreed to return home to his native state to become Iowa State's Head Wrestling Coach. Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard made the announcement Monday afternoon. The 54-year-old Humboldt, Iowa native, built a national power at Virginia Tech. Inheriting a team that won one dual in the year prior to his arrival, Dresser has led VT to Top 10 finishes at the NCAA Championship the last four years - including an all-time best fourth in 2016 - and it is currently ranked fifth. Dresser's Hokie teams captured five ACC Wrestling Championships (two tournament and three dual titles) in the last five years. His teams also won 91% of their duals (48-5) the last three years. "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead one of the nation's most storied and accomplished college wrestling programs at Iowa State," Dresser said. "Growing up in Iowa, I admired the sellout crowds at Hilton Coliseum and watching championship coaches like Dr. Harold Nichols and Jim Gibbons and countless All-America Cyclones. The administrative commitment- both facilities and operating budget - along with a devoted and knowledgeable fan base make Iowa State one of those few programs in the nation that has the foundation to compete for elite national status annually." Pollard aimed high during the search with the goal of returning the Cyclone wrestling program to national prominence. Pollard believes Dresser's championship pedigree as an athlete and coach will be a natural draw to recruits as well as an inspiration to the wrestlers on the current roster. "I believe this hire will be viewed someday as a very historic one for Iowa State wrestling," Pollard said. "Kevin is joining our team because he wants to restore Iowa State to its historic place - one that includes eight NCAA Championships - on the national wrestling landscape. He shares our vision that it has been far too long since we won our last team championship (1987) and fully expects to build our program into a national title contender. We could not be more excited to welcome Kevin, Penny and their children to the Cyclone Family." Dresser compiled a 160-51 dual record at Tech and won ACC dual meet titles in 2015-2016-2017 and league tournament championships in 2013 and 2014 (this year's ACC tournament is March 4). He has coached 65 NCAA Championship qualifiers, 20 All-Americans and five ACC Most Outstanding Wrestlers. Dresser was named ACC Coach of the Year the last four years in a row and the state of Virginia's coach of the year five times. Much of the Hokies' success can be traced to Dresser and his staff's recruiting acumen. Six of his classes have ranked among the Top 11 nationally, including the 2013 group that was No. 2 according to InterMat. Dresser was named Virginia Tech's coach in 2006-07 after a legendary high school coaching career in Virginia. He led Christiansburg High School (1996-2006) to five state championships and three runner-up finishes in 10 seasons. Before that, he took Grundy High School (1988-96) to eight state titles in as many years. Dresser coached 69 state champions and four of his teams ranked in the Top 10 nationally. As a competitor, he won two state titles and compiled a 112-11-1 record at Humboldt (Iowa) High School before a distinguished collegiate career at Iowa. The two-time All-American and two-time Big Ten champion won the 1986 NCAA Championship (when he won the Mike Howard Award as Iowa's MVW) and placed fourth at the national meet in 1985. The Hawkeyes won national titles in each of his five seasons on the roster. Dresser has been inducted into the Iowa School Athletic Association Wrestling Hall of Fame (2009), the Iowa Wrestling Hall of Fame (2014) and the Roanoke Valley Wrestling Hall of Fame (2015). He was also presented a Lifetime Service Award by the Virginia chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2013. Dresser earned a B.S. degree in general studies from Iowa in 1986. He and his wife, Penny, have three children: Emma, Anna and Jack. Pollard and Dresser agreed to a seven-year deal worth a total of $2.25 million in guaranteed salary plus incentives. His base salary for next year is $300,000. Similar to other high profile personnel announcements at Iowa State, the hiring is pending a university background check.

Nearly two decades after bursting into the consciousness of American college wrestling fans, Brock Lesnar, 2000 NCAA heavyweight wrestling champ for the University of Minnesota who subsequently won titles in pro wrestling and mixed martial arts, announced this week he would be retiring from Ultimate Fighting Championships for a second time. Lesnar, 39, who had his first MMA fight in June 2007, had previously left the UFC in 2011 after suffering diverticulitis -- an intestinal disease -- and undergoing emergency surgery. The South Dakota native had returned to the Octagon for UFC 200 in June 2016, where he scored a victory over Mark Hunt. However, that decision was later overturned when Lesnar tested positive for the estrogen blocker clomiphene and the result was changed to a no contest. Lesnar was handed a year-long ban in January by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which handles drug tests for the UFC, following a similar action in December, plus a $25,000 fine, by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The USADA suspension was made retroactive back to July, meaning that Lesnar could have returned to the Octagon that same month this year, except that his name had been removed from the agency's testing pool, according to the Washington Post. The amount of time left on Lesnar's ban would resume once he resumed testing, but instead it appears that he will leave MMA behind. As part of Lesnar's punishment for violating the UFC's anti-doping policy, the former wrestler was required to remain in the USADA drug testing pool during the full length of his suspension. “Pursuant to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, all UFC athletes serving a period of ineligibility for an anti-doing policy violation are required to remain in the USADA registered testing pool and make themselves available for testing in order to receive credit for time served under his or her sanction,” USADA officials said at the time Lesnar's suspension was announced in January. “Furthermore, if an athlete retires during his or her period of ineligibility, the athlete's sanction will be tolled until such time the athlete notifies USADA of his or her return from retirement and once again makes him or herself available for no-advance-notice, out-of-competition testing.” Lesnar's pro MMA record was 5-3, with one no-contest (the bout vs. Hall). He had won the UFC heavyweight title in 2008 by defeating fellow former college wrestler Randy Couture. Brock Edward Lesnar has spent much of his life involved in sports. In high school, he played football and wrestled at Webster High School, placing third in the heavyweight bracket at the South Dakota state wrestling championships. Lesnar headed north to Bismarck Junior College, where he was National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) heavyweight wrestling champ in 1998. Lesnar's impressive performance at the Bison Open – and equally impressive physique -- caught the eye of J Robinson, University of Minnesota head wrestling coach, who immediately recruited Lesnar to compete for the Golden Gophers his junior and senior years. Lesnar created an instant sensation in college wrestling for his appearance and take-no-prisoners wrestling style. With a 20” neck and 56” chest, Lesnar was the subject of a “Brockfast of Champions” poster produced by Minnesota that had callouts pointing to the singlet-wearing Gopher big man's various measurements. Even Dan Gable was impressed. On a telecast of dual meet featuring Lesnar, the legendary NCAA and Olympic wrestling champ and retired Iowa wrestling coach said of the massive Minnesota matman, “When he strips off his warmups, he turns more heads than Cindy Crawford in a thong.” While at Minnesota, Lesnar was a two-time Big Ten heavyweight champion and two-time finalist at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. At the 1999 NCAAs, Lesnar lost to defending champ and future New England Patriots star Stephen Neal of Cal State Bakersfield. One year later, Lesnar won the heavyweight title by defeating Big Ten rival Wes Hand of the University of Iowa at the 2000 NCAAs. After graduation, Lesnar entertained the idea of wrestling freestyle… then tried out for the University of Minnesota football team. However, Lesnar then decided to explore professional wrestling. After two years in the WWE's “minor leagues”, Lesnar was brought into the big time, winning the first of four WWE titles at the age of 25.

FAIRFAX, Va. -- The George Mason wrestling team won five of the last seven matches in its final dual of the season, defeating Sacred Heart 26-17 Sunday on senior day at the Recreation and Athletic Complex in Fairfax, Va. Mason (7-12, 2-4 EWL) started the match with a 6-0 lead when junior Ibrahim Bunduka (19-4), 31st in the NCAA Coaches Panel Rankings, won by forfeit at 125 pounds. Sacred Heart (3-12, 0-6 EIWA) then picked up wins at 133 pounds and 141 pounds to take a 9-6 match score lead. "I told them to try to score points today and they definitely went after it," Mason head coach Joe Russell said. "The fun part of the season in now starting and I'm excited they get to go to the conference championships in a couple of weeks." Mason senior Sahid Kargbo (26-2), 24th in the NCAA Coaches Panel Rankings, put the Patriots back on track with a 22-10 major decision over Pioneers junior Alex Harnsberger at 149 pounds. Kargbo built an 8-3 advantage early and held a 12-6 lead going into the third, where he scored 10 more points. His win put Mason back in front with a 10-9 match score lead. "Coach Russell and I spoke and he told me to just go out and let the sparks fly," Kargbo said. "He told me to leave everything out there and go out and have fun. It was my last time competing in front of the home crowd so I wanted to make it something memorable." Kargbo has won a career-high 26 matches this season. He's earned bonus points 14 times, with 11 of his victories by major decision, two by technical fall and one by fall. "It's a bittersweet moment, I look back and it flew by," Kargbo said of senior day. "We were coach Russell's first recruit class, so that's why we have a special bond. I'm going to really miss competing for Mason and I'm ready to go on and do big things in the postseason." Kargbo's win started a stretch where the Patriots won five of the final seven bouts of the dual. Mason freshman Matthew Raines (11-16) led 2-1 after the first period against Sacred Heart senior Casey Mitchell. In the second period, Raines scored a takedown with just 30 second remaining to take a 5-4 lead into the third. He would hold on for a 6-4 decision as the Patriots increased the match score advantage to 13-9. In a match that was close throughout, Sacred Heart cut the Mason lead to 13-12 with an 8-5 decision at 165 pounds. At 174 pounds, Mason senior Ryan Forrest (4-4) was aggressive from the start in his bout against Pioneers junior Dom Celli. Forrest led 10-1 in the second period after a flurry that included a takedown and four near fall points. He notched a 15-3 major decision to increase the Patriots lead to 17-12. The Pioneers wouldn't go away, recording a technical fall at 184 pounds to even the match score 17-17 and set the stage for a dramatic finish. Mason senior Matt Meadows (5-14) scored with a pair of early takedowns against Sacred Heart junior Mark Boyle to take a 4-1 lead into the second period. From there, Meadows was able to stay out of trouble with great defense to earn a 5-2 decision and put the Patriots back in front 20-17. The outcome of the match on Sunday was decided by the heavyweights. Mason sophomore Matthew Voss (18-10) wasted little time against Sacred Heart junior John Harnell. Voss recorded his team-leading fifth pin of the season at 2:06 of the match to secure a 26-17 win for the Patriots. "I love being the last to wrestle and I think I perform better when the stakes are high," Voss said. "We all compete for each other and I definitely go out there and wrestle for them, the senior's specifically today." Mason seniors Patrick Davis, Ryan Forrest, Sahid Kargbo, Matt Meadows, Ryan Renkey and Andrew Thomas were honored during intermission. "The seniors wrestled hard," Russell said. "It's nice to see them go out with a win. I'll miss them, there's no doubt about it. They're my first recruiting class and they chose George Mason and I'm very proud and happy to be their coach." Mason will be back in action at the Eastern Wrestling League Championships on March 4 at Nelson Field House in Bloomsburg, Pa.

BLACKSBURG -- The Virginia Tech wrestling team won the final four matches of the evening and that propelled the No. 5 Hokies to a 22-15 victory over No. 6 Nebraska in an NWCA National Duals event held in front of 1,295 fans at Virginia Tech Carilion Court on Sunday. With the win, Tech moved to 18-1 overall on the season and beat the Cornhuskers for the first time in four attempts. The Hokies also moved to 8-1 against ranked opponents this season. Nebraska fell to 12-4 on the year. "I've sat on the bench in a lot of dual meets and to see the type of effort we made … even guys like Kevin Norstrem, who just got back into the lineup, and a guy like Sal Mastriani that was right there -- we can't have moral victories -- but right there with the third-ranked guy in the nation," Tech coach Kevin Dresser said. "This team is solid. This team is peaking. "From a coaching standpoint, I take my hat off to my staff. They've done an unbelievable job of developing the talent we've got there. It was super exciting." Tech trailed 15-6 after Nebraska's Dustin Williams pinned Ryan Blees at 165 pounds. But the Hokies didn't lose again. At 174 pounds, David Bergida - subbing in for an injured Zach Epperly - rallied for a 13-8 win over Nebraska's Justin Arthur. A redshirt senior playing in his final match at Cassell Coliseum, Bergida trailed 6-2 in the second period, but used a reversal and a near fall to take the lead. He added another reversal and near fall in the third period to pull away. "I've been dying to get a big win in Cassell and I finally got it," said Bergida, who normally wrestles at 165 pounds, but improved his record to 12-14 on the season. "This was my last match in Cassell, too. Just hearing the crowd erupt meant a lot. I just thought, 'Go out there and wrestle my match, whether it was 165 or 174.' That's all I really cared about - just wrestling my match." Bergida's win seemed to spark the Hokies. At the next weight class, Zack Zavatsky easily bested Nebraska's Eric Engler at 184 pounds. He led 8-1 before pinning Engler and tying things at 15. Zavatsky, the No. 6-ranked wrestler nationally at 184, moved to 22-2 on the season. At 197, Tech's Jared Haught won a tough match over Nebraska's Aaron Studebaker. Both wrestlers recorded an escape before the match went into overtime. But a Haught reversal was the difference, as the redshirt junior - ranked No. 3 nationally in his weight class - won 3-2 (TB-1) and moved to 22-2 on the season. Haught's win gave the Hokies an 18-15 advantage heading into the final match of the evening. At heavyweight, Tech's Ty Walz dominated Nebraska's Collin Jensen, recording a 15-5 major decision in his final home match. His seven takedowns enabled him to move to 20-2 on the season. Tech's other two victories came at 125 and 149 pounds. At 125, the Hokies' Joey Dance continued his strong season. Dance took the lead on Nebraska's Tim Lambert with a takedown early in the third period and then used a near fall to grab a 7-3 lead. Lambert got an escape, but that was it the rest of the way, as Dance, the No. 3-ranked wrestler nationally at 125 pounds, registered a 7-4 win and moved to 23-1 on the season. At 149, the Hokies' Solomon Chishko won 8-5 over Collin Purinton. Chishko used a first-period takedown and near fall to jump out to the lead and then held it the rest of the match. The No. 6 wrestler nationally at 149 pounds moved to 19-3 on the season. The Hokies now prepare for the ACC Championships, which will be held at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh, North Carolina on March 4. Action begins at 11 a.m. Results: 125: No. 3 Joey Dance (VT) dec.

ATHENS, Ohio -- The American University wrestling team tallied a dominating 38-3 victory over Ohio on Sunday, Feb. 19, to close the regular season portion of its 2016-17 campaign. "What a tremendous team performance," Head Coach Teague Moore said. "I cannot say enough about our effort today! Josh Terao, Esteban Gomez-Rivera, Jack Mutchnik, Michael Sprague, Tom Page, Michael Eckhart, Cole Moseley, Jason Grimes, Jeric Kasunic and Brett Dempsey just put on the best dual meet I've ever been a part of." The Eagles now rise to 6-8 in dual meet competitions this season, while the Bobcats fall to 7-8 overall. Sophomore Jack Mutchnik opened up the competition with his second-consecutive sudden-death victory, pushing Ohio's Kevon Powell into overtime after tying the bout with a pair of escapes in the first and second periods. A takedown from Mutchnik within the first 20 seconds of overtime gave him the final edge as he took the bout with a 4-2 decision. Sprague continued building American's lead in the second match of the day, scoring a second period takedown (3:43) against Kyle Kaminski to bring the Eagles up to a 6-0 lead. A pair of decisions from Page and Eckhart, 9-2 and 4-0, respectively, continued to stretch American's lead to 15-0 before an 8-3 decision over Moseley by Ohio's Arsen Arshughyan gave the Bobcats their only three points of the day. Grimes clinched a sudden victory over Ohio's Dontae McGee, coming back from an early 4-2 deficit to score a third period takedown and final-minute escape to push the match into overtime. Grimes registered another takedown 20-seconds into the extra period to clinch the 8-6 win. Kasunic and Terao each held their competitors to scoreless bouts, regeristing major decisions by 11-0 and 13-0 final scores, respectively Dempsey and Gomez-Rivera secured a pair of falls to close out scoring for the Eagles, with Dempsey notching his at the 2:38 mark and Gomez-Rivera claiming his after 5:16 of competition. "We won all the little battles because of effort and attitidue. Ohio is a very good tema. In preparation for today, we discussed what finishing periods would do, and we did that this afternoon," Teague said. "The seniors closed out their AU compaigns with some great wins. I'm so happy for these young men and how they have embodied the AU Wrestling spirit." The Eagles will now take a week break before heading to Lewisburg, Pa., for the EIWA Championships on March 3-4.

Head coach Cael Sanderson' squad posted a 27-13 victory to claim its second-straight national dual meet title. In a dual meet featuring 18 ranked wrestlers, Penn State's young line-up, with seven underclassmen, handled the Cowboy squad. Penn State's win came in front of an Oklahoma State wrestling all-time record crowd of 14,059 in sold out Gallagher-Iba Arena. The win is the 31st straight dual meet victory for Penn State. The Nittany Lions, who suffered a nine-point swing with an injury default loss in the dual's first bout, reeled off seven straight wins after dropping the first three matches to roll to the lopsided victory. The dual began at 125. True freshman Nick Suriano (Paramus, N.J.), ranked No. 2 at 125, was lead 3-1 over No. 11 Nick Piccininni in the second period when an injury forced the Lion freshman into an injury default loss. Kaid Brock notched a major decision (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-lens.com) Oklahoma State took a 10-0 lead when No. 3 Kaid Brock posted a 17-6 major over sophomore George Carpenter (Chapel Hill, N.C.) at 133.

Zain Retherford topped Anthony Collica 2-1 (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-lens.com) Junior Zain Retherford (Benton, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 149, downed No. 2 Anthony Collica 2-1, using 1:51 in riding time to post the winning point.

The Nittany Lions won a lop-sided takedown battle 24-7, giving up takedowns in only three of the seven bouts.

The duo battled evenly for nearly two minutes when Suriano used a swift low single to take the Cowboy down and open up a 2-1 lead at the 1:10 mark. Piccininni nearly took Suriano down with his own shot but the Lion freshman fought off the move to hold on to his one point lead with :40 on the clock. Leading 2-1, Suriano chose down to start the second period and steadily worked for an escape but was injured on the move. He took an injury timeout, tried to continue but could not continue and had to take an injury default loss. 133: Sophomore George Carpenter (Chapel Hill, N.C.) faced off against No. 3 Kaid Brock at 133. Brock quickly took Carpenter down for an early 2-1 lead just :40 into the bout. He added a second takedown to open up a 4-1 lead.

The bout began with the duo battling for shoulder control and Hall got hit with a stall call as each man was battling for a throw. The duo worked the middle of the mat after the reset with Hall continuing to press the Cowboy. While Crutchmer played defense, Hall racked up the shots, working the clock down to zeroes and forcing Crutchmer into a stalling warning as well.

Neither wrestler challenged over the last minute and Hall led 1-0 after two. Crutchmer chose down to start the third period and quickly escaped to a 1-1 tie. Hall nearly connected on a duck-under that Crutchmer was able to step back from once again. The Lion freshman pushed the Cowboy senior for the next minute, but Crutchmer's defense held firm. Hall shot, slipped and Crutchmer countered. The Lion freshman was undaunted, resetting himself for a takedown and a 3-1 lead with :30 on the clock.

McCutcheon continued to shoot at Weigel's ankles and the Cowboy stepped backwards repeatedly, working the clock down to under :30. Trailing 1-0, McCutcheon chose neutral to start the third period. The junior worked his way into control of Weigel's ankles, finishing off a takedown for a 2-1 lead with 1:02 on the clock. Weigel escaped to a 2-2 tie with :50 left and action resumed neutral. McCutcheon broke through on another shot and took a 4-2 lead with a second takedown. A reset was called at the :24 mark and Weigel escaped to a 4-3 score. McCutcheon was able to hold on for a thrilling 4-3 win and clinch the dual victory. 285: Sophomore Nick Nevills (Clovis, Calif.), ranked No. 3 at 285, took sophomore Derek White. Nevills took White down quickly, opening up a 2-0 lead just :10 into the bout. Nevills controlled the action from the top position for 1:02 before White escaped to a 2-1 score. Nevills fought off two slight White shots and picked up a second takedown with :08 left to lead 4-1 with 1:11 in riding time. White chose down to start the second period and Nevills began a strong ride. The Lion sophomore nearly turned White for points but the Cowboy was able to fight off the back points. Nevills reset himself, forced White into a stall warning, and then had action stopped for blood time. Nevills let White up on the reset and led 4-2 with :35 on the clock. Nevills picked up a point as White stalled again and led 5-2 with 2:35 in riding time after two. Nevills chose down to start the third, escaped and then quickly took White down again. With the riding time point clinched, Nevills began looking for bonus points. White countered a Nevills shot to cut the Lion lead to 8-5, however, and the Lion sophomore escaped and settled for a 10-5 win.

BOONE, N.C. -- The Indiana wrestling team preceded the tournament postseason with a dual meet at No. 18 Appalachian State, as part of the annual NWCA Division-I National Dual Championship series. The Hoosiers (10-9, 2-7) scored their first top-20 win of the season over the Mountaineers (13-3, 8-0), winning six bouts for a 21-12 victory. With the win, the Hoosiers complete a winning record with their first win in the NWCA Dual Series, avenging their 21-13 loss to Appalachian State in the series last season. It also gives head coach Duane Goldman his 18th season at Indiana with a winning record. Before the meet began, it appeared that the advantage would swing to whichever team could score a winning start in the 125 lbs. match between #20 Elijah Oliver and #18 Vito Pasone. Not only did this match, a 7-5 win for Oliver, weigh on the dual meet result; it delivered on its promise as the bout of the afternoon. Pasone kicked it off with the first takedown of the match, but Oliver ensured a first period tie with a reversal. Oliver went on to score the only point in the second with a late escape, taking a 3-2 lead. Pasone edged Oliver's third period takedown with two escapes and a stall point to tie the bout at 5-5, forcing a sudden victory period. Oliver, in similar fashion to last year's match-winning takedown in short time, prevailed with the decisive drop to end the year with a top-20 win. Cole Weaver (141) continued his momentum from last weekend's pin to score a 5-4 decision over Irvin Enriquez, breaking an early tie on the team score sheet. Weaver scored the only two takedowns of the match and pulled away with a third period escape. Indiana's lead erupted just before intermission as they won four consecutive bouts, starting with Jake Danishek's (157) decision over Gavin Londoff. Danishek had a 4-0 lead entering the final period before Londoff scored an escape, and he finished the third with the riding time point for a 5-1 win. Bryce Martin (165) followed with a convincing 6-2 decision over Forrest Przybysz, led by his 4-1 scoring run in the final two periods. The Hoosiers' leaders in bonus point victories followed with a pair of dominating results that widened the gap on the team score. Freshman Devin Skatzka (174) clocked out early with a 5:43 technical fall, 18-2, which featured 8 nearfall points and 4 takedowns. Senior #6 Nate Jackson (184) completed an unbeaten 19-0 run through duals in the 2016-17 with his major decision against David Peters-Logue. Jackson poured on 3 takedowns in the first period, another 2 in the second, and shutout the third for a 15-3 win. The major decision, Jackson's 19th bonus point victory this year, is his ninth win in a row.

CLARION, Pa. -- A major decision by Cory Stainbrook was one of seven Mountaineer wins as the West Virginia University wrestling team closed out the regular season with a 22-10 win over Clarion at Tippin Gym in Clarion, Pennsylvania, on Sunday. Stainbrook won a 13-4 major decision over Roshaun Cooley to lead the Mountaineers (4-12, 1-3) with four team points. No. 5 Jacob A. Smith picked up his 12th straight win to move to 18-4 on the season, while No. 11/19 Dylan Cottrell won his third straight to move to 15-4 on the year. "It feels good to finish with a win going into Big 12s," WVU coach Sammie Henson said. "Our men kept attacking today. Our men have to work on getting turns moving forward." Starting at 165 pounds, Cottrell scored a takedown in the opening minute of action and rode DeLong through the period, taking a 2-0 lead and more than 2:00 of riding time into the second period. Opting for a neutral start, Cottrell took control and added two more points to the board for a 4-0 lead after five minutes of action. Cottrell started the third on top, giving up an escape to DeLong but taking the riding time point for a 5-1 decision. Ty Millward dropped a 9-0 major decision to Dom Rigous at 174, giving Clarion a 4-3 advantage. Parker VonEgidy then claimed a decision over Scott Marmoll at 184 to put WVU back on top, 7-4. VonEgidy used a pair of takedowns in the first two periods for 4-0 lead entering the third. Marmoll was called for stalling three times, adding two more points for VonEgidy, who also added the riding time point in taking the 7-2 victory. Smith made it two in a row for the Mountaineers, winning a 7-2 decision over Terell Fields. Fields scored an early takedown, but Smith escaped and countered with a takedown of his own for a 3-2 lead at the end of the first. Starting on bottom in the second, Smith made it 4-2 with an escape. He added his second takedown of the bout following a neutral start in the third, adding a point for riding time as WVU took a 9-4 lead. Evan Daley scored a last second takedown on Brandon Ngati to win a 3-0 decision in the heavyweight bout, bringing the Golden Eagles within three, down 9-6. Devin Brown scored an escape and a pair of takedowns in the third period to take a 9-2 decision over Cameron Butler at 125 pounds. Stainbrook then added his major decision, scoring five takedowns and a reversal in picking up the 13-4 victory over Cooley at 133. The back-to-back wins added seven points to the board for the Mountaineers, who took a 16-7 lead over the Golden Eagles with three bouts to go. No. 17 Brock Zacherl won a 4-2 decision over Joe Wheeling at 141 to cut into the Mountaineers' lead at 16-10 before WVU rebounded with a win by Christian Monserrat at 149. After taking a 2-0 lead over Jake Keller on a first-period takedown, Monserrat scored eight points in the second period for a 10-1 lead. A reversal by Keller cost Monserrat the major in the third, but he won a 10-3 decision to give West Virginia the 19-10 lead. Dayton Garrett then finished things off with a 4-0 decision over Mac Tanner as the Mountaineers took the 22-20 victory over the Golden Eagles. After a week off, West Virginia heads to the 2017 Big 12 Championship on March 4-5. The event will be held at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

South Dakota State's Seth Gross recorded the decisive pin late in a hotly contested dual against North Dakota State, sending the Jackrabbits to a 20-18 victory Sunday afternoon before a crowd of 1,606 at Frost Arena. The 17th-ranked Jackrabbits retained the Border Bell traveling trophy and improved to 14-5 overall, including an 8-1 mark in Big 12 Conference duals. NDSU, ranked 25th, fell to 14-5 overall and 4-3 against Big 12 foes. SDSU has won the last three duals in the rivalry series. The second-ranked wrestler at 133 pounds, Gross entered his match against NDSU backup Arthur Payne with the Jackrabbits trailing 15-14. Gross built an early 10-0 lead with a takedown and two four-point near-falls before putting both of Payne's shoulders to the mat early in the third period. With his 27th win of the season -- against only one loss -- Gross became the first Jackrabbit wrestler in the Division I era to go undefeated in dual competition, finishing with a 17-0 mark. NDSU moved its 20th-ranked 133-pounder Cam Sykora into the 141-pound slot in hopes of picking up a bonus-point victory over the Jackrabbits' Henry Pohlmeyer in the final bout of the dual. Sykora recorded takedowns in each of the first two periods, but Pohlmeyer rode out the entire third period to limit NDSU to a decision. The Jackrabbits' Alex Kocer opened the dual with an 8-0 major decision over Kyle Gliva. Kocer, ranked 16th at 149 pounds, improved to 24-6 overall and 16-3 in duals. NDSU 157-pounder Clay Ream, ranked seventh at 157 pounds, countered with a 14-2 major decision over Logan Peterson to even the match at 4-all. SDSU put together two consecutive wins to build a 10-4 lead. Luke Zilverberg avenged a loss at the Midlands Championships to high school teammate Andrew Fogarty with a 3-2 decision. Zilverberg trailed 1-0 heading into the third period of the pivotal match before recording an escape and takedown before fending off Fogarty. David Kocer, ranked 16th at 174 pounds, added a 6-1 decision over Dylan Urbach at 174 pounds. After the Bison drew to within 10-7 at the halfway mark with a decision by Tyler McNutt at 184 pounds, seventh-ranked Nate Rotert pushed the Jackrabbit lead to 14-7 with a 12-3 major decision over Cordell Eaton. Rotert earned the bonus-point victory with a third-period takedown and four-point near-fall. NDSU grabbed its momentary 15-14 lead with back-to-back wins by heavyweight Ben Tynan and 125-pounder Josh Rodriguez. Tynan scored a 1-0 decision over Alex Macki, while the fourth-ranked Rodriguez turned in a 24-7 technical fall over SDSU reserve Kahlen Morris.

MADISON, Wis. -- The No. 18 Wisconsin wrestling team saved one of its best for last, closing the season with a thriller finale in the UW Field House on Sunday afternoon, taking down No. 14-ranked Central Michigan 19-17. The excitement in the Field House started brewing right out of the gate when 125-pounder Johnny Jimenez cruised past Brent Fleetwood in sudden victory, 2-0. The Badgers suffered two-straight losses but then the thrill picked right back up at 149 pounds. Andrew Crone had the highest-ranked matchup of the day in Justin Oliver and handled it with no problem. He fell behind 2-0 early in the first period but tied it up with a reversal and then captured the lead (6-2) with four nearfall right at the end, a lead he would not relinquish for the remainder of the bout. Crone tacked on another reversal to extend his lead to 8-2, but Oliver made a comeback late in the second with an escape and takedown to cut Crone's lead to 8-5. Crone finished off the match with a final takedown and four more nearfall to cap the 14-5 major decision. Isaac Jordan tallied a takedown and picked up a caution point to jump out to an early 3-0 lead in his Field House finale at 165 pounds. Jordan collected 2:56 of riding time and eight takedowns to clinch a final 19-6 major decision. Junior Ricky Robertson (197) set the Badgers up for a perfect comeback with his 1-0 decision over No. 16 Austin Severn. Robertson choose bottom in the second and escaped 13 seconds to notch the only point he needed to come away with the win. With the entire dual riding on his shoulders, senior Connor Medbery (HWT) ended his UW Field House legacy and continued his 22-win perfect streak with a 16-0 technical fall that secured the final win of the season for Wisconsin. The Badgers only gave up one bonus-point win to the Chippewas, while Eli Stickley (133), Cole Martin (141), TJ Ruschell (157) and Hunter Ritter (184) all dropped decisions.

MAT TALK "[The senior class] means a lot. It was a good way to end the season for Zeke, he wrestled great, a lot of offense there. Connor going out with the tech fall. No doubt about it, two great leaders, two great young men that will be greatly missed. But looking forward to those guys at Big Tens and NCAAs and continuing the upward movement and help them try to reach the success of being a national champion." "I talked to the guys about it. From 125 to 157, they're all ranked match ups. I said to the guys, 'these are going to be some tight matches here.' Johnny came through, and we had our chances at 133 and 141, obviously Andrew Crone came through as well. It shows as a team we're going in the right direction, doing the right things. Ricky had a big win too over a ranked guy." - Head coach Barry Davis "Good things are going on, so we're really close, but we've got to go to another level yet and they know that. We'll give them a couple days off and then bring them in and work on some skill work to tighten things up individual wise and team wise and then we're off and running." "Senior day is special, obviously the last time in the field house. Central Michigan is a good team, it was a good way to end the season for us as a group we had a good last two weeks, so yeah it was fun to go out there and wrestle well. "Confidence-wise, it's good to end the season wrestling the best you have all season. I think I have another notch I can take it to and it's a good stepping stone to take to Big Tens and Nationals." - Senior Isaac Jordan "We have had two big wins in last two weeks, it is something to build off as a team and motivate us. The guys who lost have somethings to learn and the guys who won have more to learn to because we didn't wrestle perfect matches by any means. Just moving forward build off what we can do and get ready for St Louis. "We are going to take a couple of days off, train hard this next week, we are not going to taper yet. We have plenty of time and this is the time to build and try to catch some of the guys ahead of us and seperate the gap that we have beaten before. We will taper, but we have a lot more to do, we have tournament time before us." - Senior Connor Medbery Results: 125: Johnny Jimenez (UW) over Brent Fleetwood (CMU) (SV-1 2-0) UW 3, CMU 0 133: Corey Keener (CMU) over Eli Stickley (UW) (Dec 6-3) UW 3, CMU 3 141: Mason Smith (CMU) over Cole Martin (UW) (Dec 7-4) UW 3, CMU 6 149: Andrew Crone (UW) over Justin Oliver (CMU) (MD 14-5) UW 7, CMU 6 157: Colin Heffernan (CMU) over Timothy Ruschell (UW) (SV-1 9-7) UW 7, CMU 9 165: Isaac Jordan (WIS) over L.

AMES, Iowa -- Minnesota piled up points in Ames on Sunday, winning the dual's first five matches and producing seven bonus-point wins to run up a season-high scoring total in a 40-7 win over Iowa State. The 33-point win is an emphatic finish to a 7-5 (5-4) regular season that included an undefeated run on the road (5-0). The undefeated road record is the first for Minnesota since 2012-13. “The guys were really aggressive all day and that's exactly what we want to see from them,” said Head Coach Brandon Eggum. “We did a lot of things well today. A lot of positives, like scoring bonus points when we had those opportunities. Momentum is always such a big thing and this can help us create some momentum heading into Big Tens.” The key to Sunday's one-sided performance from the Gophers may have come in the day's opening bout, their only victory not to produce bonus points. At 174 pounds, Chris Pfarr controlled his contest against returning All-American and tenth-ranked Lelund Weatherspoon, not allowing a single takedown while scoring four of his own in a 10-4 decision. ”Chris Pfarr's win at 174 was key today. He upset a top-ranked wrestler at his weight class and our guys were pretty fired up after that. That was big. It got us on a roll,” said Eggum. Minnesota's momentum only grew with another unexpected win at 184 pounds. With regular starter Bobby Steveson nursing a minor injury, the Gophers turned to Brandon Krone for his first dual match of the season. Krone made the most of the opportunity, earning a 10-2 major decision to further build the Gophers' confidence. Following those early wins, the three Gophers who have produced the most bonus-point wins for the Gophers so far this season delivered again in the next three matches. That began at 197 pounds, where one of the only things missing from No. 2 Brett Pfarr's resume this season was a pin. Despite six major decisions and seven tech falls, Pfarr had not yet pinned an opponent. His match Sunday didn't initially appear it would be his first, as Marcus Harrington scored an early takedown and popped ahead, 2-0. Pfarr responded aggressively, escaping quickly and scoring 11 points in fewer than two minutes before settling in for the pin. Eighth-ranked heavyweight Michael Kroells followed with three, four-point tilts in the final 30 seconds of the first period against Quean Smith. Early takedowns staked Kroells a 6-2 advantage and the series of tilts before the end of the opening frame gave Kroells an 18-2 tech fall. Turning back to the lightest weight class, seventh-ranked 125-pounder Ethan Lizak started slowly against NCAA qualifier Kyle Larson, picking up a takedown two minutes into the match to go up, 2-0. In the second, Lizak again picked up a takedown late, but this time sunk in a half-nelson and pinned Larson just before the end of the period. Sunday was the third time in the past five duals that the trio of Pfarr, Kroells and Lizak have each produced a tech fall or pin. The day's most-anticipated match opened the second half of the dual and, in what has become a hallmark of No. 17 Mitch McKee's matches, there were more points put on the board between he and No. 10 Earl Hall than any other match Sunday. McKee picked up an early two on Hall, but a reversal and near-fall put Hall on top. McKee repeatedly challenged Hall, closing to within two points and later one point, but was unable to catch the two-time All-American, dropping the match, 16-9. Any chance that Hall's victory could spark a second-half run for the Cyclones was quickly snuffed out by No. 11 Tommy Thorn in his 141-pound match against John Meeks. Thorn picked up a takedown fewer than 30 seconds into the match and, by the 1:54 mark, had picked up his first pin of the season. With three matches remaining, Thorn's pin gave Minnesota a new season-high with 30 team points. After Ben Brancale fell at 149 pounds in his first career dual appearance for the Gophers and No. 8 Jake Short capped off a 9-1 major decision at 157 thanks to an early hip toss that became a six-point move, No. 18 Nick Wanzek capped the dual for Minnesota with yet another pin, this one coming almost immediately off the second-period whistle. Wanzek sank in a cement mixer on Logan Breitenbach and earned the pin 18 seconds in the middle frame. Full match-by-match results are available at: z.umn.edu/wrisurec Wanzek's pin was the fourth of the day for Minnesota, something the Gophers had not accomplished since a 2012 match against Itasca Community College as part of the Bison Quad. Minnesota's run of seven bonus-point wins were the most for the program since a 2014 dual against Indiana, a match where the Gophers earned two falls and five major decisions. Against that same Indiana program earlier this year, Minnesota picked up four straight bonus wins, something they did again on Sunday. Prior to this season, the Maroon and Gold hadn't had such a run since 2015 against Maryland. Those superior individual results led to a noteworthy team score as well. The Gophers put up 40 or more in a dual for the first time since a 2013 contest against Wyoming and won a dual by more than 30 points for the first time since a 2014 contest against Michigan State. Today's dual was the last for Minnesota this season. The team will have next weekend off to prepare for the Big Ten Championships, which will be held in Bloomington, Ind., on March 4 and 5.

PHILADELPHIA - The Drexel wrestling team came from behind to defeat Penn by a 26-13 margin on Sunday afternoon and maintain ownership of the Abner's Cheesesteak Trophy. The Dragons trailed by 10 points halfway through the dual, but won out the remainder of the matches to close out the regular season on a high note. The dual began with the 157 match and Penn scored first as May Bethea defeated Willie Davis by major decision. The Quakers' Joe Velliquette defeated Austin Rose at 165 and then No. 13 Casey Kent took a 4-0 decision from Ebed Jarrell at 174 to put Penn up, 10-0 early. At 184, Alex DeCiantis was able to get the Dragons on the board as he edged Joe Heyob, 3-2 with a takedown in the closing seconds of the match. However, the Quakers' No. 19 Frank Mattiace came back with a win over Joshua Murphy at 197 to give Penn back its 10-point advantage as the dual reached its midway point. The Dragons' rally began as No. 17 Joey Goodhart came out of halftime with a 14-3 major decision over Tyler Hall in the heavyweight match. Tanner Shoap then picked up a 9-4 win over Jeremy Schwartz at 125 to bring the Dragons within three, 13-10. Drexel got its first lead of the day after a strong performance from No. 11 Kevin Devoy Jr. resulted in a technical fall over Carl Antrassian at 133. David Pearce then extended the Dragons lead with a technical fall of his own, putting the Dragons ahead 20-13 with one match to play. No. 18 Matthew Cimato won by injury default at 149 which wrapped up the day's competition and allowed Drexel to walk away with a victory over Penn in the Battle of 33rd Street for the second year in a row. The Dragons finish the regular season with a 13-6 overall record and a 8-3 mark against conference opponents. Penn ends the year at 6-8 overall, 4-7 EIWA. Drexel Wrestling will go on to compete in the EIWA Championships that will be held at Bucknell in Lewisburg, Pa on March 3 and 4.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Senior Brian Realbuto beat top-ranked Bo Jordan at 174 pounds and No. 1 Gabe Dean defeated defending NCAA champion Myles Martin at 184, but it was sophomore Jeramy Sweany's victory at heavyweight that lifted Cornell to a 19-18 upset win over No. 4 Ohio State on Sunday afternoon. The eighth-ranked Big Red closed its regular season with a 13-2 record after knocking off the Buckeyes in the NWCA National Duals Championship Series. Ohio State fell to 11-3 on the year. Realbuto, a two-time NCAA All-American and 2015 national finalist, upset the unbeaten Jordan thanks to a first period takedown just 16 seconds in. That was the difference, as both earned escape points at the change and scrambles in the late second and third resulted in no scoring, much to the chagrin of Ohio State's coaching staff that requested a video review on one. The call was upheld, and Realbuto defended a shot late to pick up the win, his 111th in a Cornell singlet. Dean was just as impressive against the reigning champion at 174 pounds, controlling the center against Martin throughout. Dean used four swipes in the third as he locked in a cradle for a six-point move in the third, but the very near pin wasn't called and the two-time defending champion at 184 pounds improved to 27-0 on the season with a 10-5 victory. Trailing 18-16 heading into the heavyweight match and with Buckeye Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder sitting the dual out, Cornell's Sweany picked up the lone takedown, earned an escape and a riding point for the clinching 4-0 win over Josh Fox, igniting the crowd and giving the Big Red its win over a top five team for the first time since knocking off fourth-ranked Minnesota 19-17 at the 2015 National Duals. It was the program's first home win over a top five squad since a 21-16 victory over the third-ranked Gophers in 2011, also at Newman Arena. Sweany ended the match right, but it was freshman Noah Baughman's dominant 4-0 win of his own over 16th-ranked Jose Rodriguez at 125 pounds that set the tone. Cornell closed strong, winning five of the final six matches to overcome Ohio State's bonus points and take a 7-6-1 lead in the all-time series. The Buckeyes led as much as 14-3 after Micah Jordan's pin at 149, but that lead would be cut over the final six matches before being overcome at heavyweight. Sophomore Brandon Womack won of those swing matches, using a third period takedown to claim a 4-2 win over Cody Burcher at 165 pounds. Ohio State got in deep on a shot midway through the third, but Womack was able to lift him into a cradle, before scoring with 30 seconds left. Burcher was able to escape the cradle and back points, but Womack rode him out for the victory. The Buckeyes showed their strength at the top, as top-ranked Nathan Tomasello earned a technical fall at 133 and Micah Jordan, No. 5 at 149, earned a third period fall to give Ohio State key bonus points. Luke Pletcher added a hard-fought 5-2 win over Will Koll at 141 to build its 11-point lead heading into 157. Senior Dylan Palacio changed the momentum with a thoroughly dominant 19-8 win over Anthony Decarlo. With dual meet season over, Cornell will look to earn its 11th consecutive EIWA title and qualify wrestlers for NCAAs during the two-day tournament at Bucknell from March 3-4.
