LYNCHBURG, Va. -- Emmanuel College parlayed a quick lead into winning five of the first six matches, and the Lions rolled on to a 33-13 win over Liberty in the championship match of the NCWA National Duals. It is Emmanuel's first NCWA title of any kind. With the win, the Lions take the Collegiate Cup Trophy home for a year as the Duals champion, and more importantly earn 24 team points that will advance to the NCWA Championships in March. Liberty, as runner-up, earned 23 points toward the nationals, and so on down the 20-team field. This is the eighth consecutive season that the NCWA will have a new National Duals champion. No team has repeated with the title since Grand Valley State won three in a row from 2007-09. Emmanuel clinched the title following the 197-pound bout when Maveric Reichsteiner, the top-ranked NCWA wrestler in that class, pinned Austin Amos of Liberty in 1:43. Reichsteiner scored a takedown in the opening seconds and moved for the fall from there. Just prior to the clincher, fans watched one of the tournament's best matches at 184 pounds as top-ranked and defending NCWA champion Cody Chaney took on sixth-ranked Taylor Westlake of Liberty. Chaney got ahead early with a pair of takedowns, scored another in the second period, and yielded only three escapes in recording an 8-3 win that put Emmanuel ahead, 21-10. Trailing 18-4 through six weights, Liberty rallied in the 174-pound match, turning to the strength of its lineup in the middle weights. Josh Ferenczy turned the match around for a moment with a first-period pin against Dylan Gouine. Ferenczy, last year's national runner-up, is the top-ranked wrestler at 174, while Gouine was wrestling up a weight while being ranked ninth at 165. Emmanuel got an quick boost by gaining a forfeit at 125 for a quick 6-0 lead. Dylan Carlile than pushed the lead to 9-0 with a 6-2 decision over Ashton Robinson. Tyler Sigler got Liberty on the board with a gritty win at 141. Sigler had a 10-0 lead early, but gave up seven straight points before suffering a shoulder injury. The junior fought through it, rejoining the mat with only 10 seconds left in injury time, and scored a takedown late for a 16-7 win. Jeremiah Lutz kept Liberty from getting any momentum of Sigler's tough win when he scored a 3-1 win over Brandon Robinson in the next match to put the Lions ahead, 12-4. At 157, Jay Sheppard rallied from a 5-1 deficit by scoring a takedown with four near fall points in the second period. Sheppard, ranked sixth in the nation, then added a few escapes for a 10-6 win over 11th-ranked Andrew Burgette of Liberty. Emmanuel's lead moved to 18-4 after the 165 match when JA Jones posted a 4-0 decision over Richard Cerebe. Jones, a junior, is likely to move up in the NCWA rankings after sitting at 12th last week. Despite the match being clinched, at 235, Charles Hancock put Liberty back on the board with a 3-1 decision over Zak Pitt to get the Flames to within 27-13. The Lions then finished off their championship run when Kenny Mason pins Dominick Johnson in 54 seconds at heavyweight. In the third-place match, Grand Valley State six of seven matches from 149-235 to seal a 31-20 win over The Apprentice School. Trailing 10-3 at the time, Jake Sobeck started the Lakers' rally with a pin at the end of the first period, and Trevor Pickett (174) added a major decision along the way before Derek Desloover punctuated the spree with another first-period pin at 197 that clinched the win. Harun Bogdanic closed the winning run with an 8-1 decision at 235. Central Florida, the defending champion, placed fifth with a last-match rally for a one-point win over first-time participant Alfred State. Jesse Gaudin of UCF scored a third-period takedown against Jeff Andrews for a 4-3 decision that decided the match's winner. Alfred State trailed 24-11 through seven weights before George VanValen and Brandyn Whitacre scored back-to-back first-period pins at 184 and 197 to get the Pioneers within one at 24-23. Mitchell Lattuca then took a 5-0 decision at 235 to put Alfred State ahead by two entering the final heavyweight match. Springfield Tech defeated Middle Tennessee, 30-18, in the seventh place match. The NCWA Championships are March 9-11 in Allen, Texas, as the association will be celebrating its 20th anniversary.

Dean again earned a fall in the nightcap, a second period stick of his cousin, Kanon. Noah Baughman also won by fall at 125, as did Ben Honis at 197. The Crimson held an 8-5 lead after three matches, but Jonathan Furnas started a run of six consecutive Big Red victories with a 12-6 decision over Hunter Ladnier, completing a personal 2-0 day. Simaz also swept the day with a pair of bonus wins, including his 18-5 major over Coby Knight at 157 against the Crimson to give the visitors a lead it would never relinquish. Both Dylan Palacio (165) and Realbuto (174) shook off early Crimson takedowns to claim major decision wins and Dean dominated his cousin before putting him away for his 140th collegiate victory and his 17th win by fall of the season, one off Kyle Dake's 2013 school record. Dean is now 23-0 on the year. Honis, well on his way to a tech fall victory in the final seconds, earned the extra team point with the fall coming with 38 seconds remaining in the third to cap Cornell's scoring.

Orem, Utah -- The University of Wyoming wrestling team won four of the last six bouts to claim a 17-16 come-from-behind victory over Big 12 foe Utah Valley on Saturday night. Both teams won five matches apiece on the evening to send the contest into a 16 all tie after ten bouts. The dual then went to criteria, which UW (4-5, 2-1 Big 12) held the tiebreaker to seal the victory over the Wolverines. The dual had two bonus point victories, with one coming from each team. Junior All-American Bryce Meredith easily earned a 12-2 major decision over Trevor Wilson for the Pokes lone bonus point win. “One thing I noticed was the difference in the way we started tonight and the last two duals,” UW head coach Mark Branch said. “It showed how tight of a dual it was with the overtimes and we had plenty of opportunities to separate the dual. We are leaving with a win and they may be feeling like they let one slip away. I thought it was much different from our last two duals. But with Boise State coming up next, I know we can't continue to let the negativity of a previous match affect us. Boise State will be tough and we will need to be more aggressive and come out with more energy on Monday night. We are more than capable of doing that.” In the third match of the dual, senior Drew Templeman's decision got the Pokes on the board after falling behind 7-0. Templeman used an escape and a riding time point for the win. Senior Cole Mendenhall's first period takedown and an escape in the second was all that was needed for a 3-2 decision win over Grant LaMont. Archie Colgan recorded two takedowns in the opening period of the 157 bout to help him take an 8-6 SV1 victory. Colgan made quick work of Raider Lofthouse in the first overtime with another takedown for the win. Branson Ashworth brought home an 8-2 decision over Koy Wilkinson for the Brown and Gold. Ashworth had control of the match and totaled three takedowns on the evening. Wyoming will make its way to Afton, Wyo., for an outreach dual against Boise State. The dual will begin at 6 p.m. MT at Star Valley high school. Results: 197: Tanner Orndorff maj. dec. Nate Shaw, 11-2, UW 0, UVU 4 285: Dustin Dennison dec.

Anthony Ashnault of Rutgers is currently ranked No. 6 at 141 pounds (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) Michigan State hosts No. 11 Rutgers on Sunday at Jenison Field House. The dual meet is slated for 2 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on the Big Ten Network. Both teams are coming off losses on Friday night. The Spartans fell 30-9 to Illinois in Champaign, Ill. The Scarlet Knights were beaten by Michigan 19-13 in Ann Arbor, Mich. Below are five matchups to watch in the dual meet. 133: Austin Eicher (Michigan State) vs. Scott DelVecchio (Rutgers) This should make for a competitive match as both have been NCAA qualifiers, but neither is ranked. Eicher was a MAC champion last season at Northern Illinois and transferred to Michigan State this season. He's currently 17-11 on the season. Last weekend he topped Central Michigan's Corey Keener, the same wrestler he defeated to win the MAC title. DelVecchio was an NCAA qualifier in 2015 as a sophomore and redshirted last season. He has a solid record this season of 15-8, but is coming off two straight losses. Last weekend he was edged by Purdue's Luke Welch 3-2, and on Friday night he fell 11-3 to Michigan's Stevan Micic. 141: Javier Gasca (Michigan State) vs. No. 6 Anthony Ashnault (Rutgers) This is one of the premier matchups of the dual meet. The two met in a dual meet last season, with Ashnault coming out on top 3-2. Ashnault, a two-time All-American, has been on a roll since taking his last loss in the semifinals of the Midlands Championships to NC State's Kevin Jack. Since then he has reeled off seven consecutive victories, with five being bonus point victories. In his most recent outing he was pushed by Michigan's Sal Profaci, but prevailed 7-3. Profaci cut the deficit to two points in the third period after a takedown, but was unable to complete the comeback. Gasca is Michigan State's lone returning NCAA qualifier from last season. He has had a strong season evidenced by his 21-6 record, but has struggled with consistency at times. He is coming off a win over Mousa Jodeh of Illinois. 149: Nick Trimble (Michigan State) vs. No. 14 Ken Theobold (Rutgers)/Anthony Giraldo Rutgers has two accomplished wrestlers in this weight class in Theobold and Giraldo. Both have NCAA tournament experience. Theobold qualified for the NCAAs in 2014 and 2015 before redshirting last season. Giraldo was an NCAA qualifier last season down two weight classes at 133 pounds. Both wrestlers have been productive this season. Theobold, who is ranked No. 14, has been getting the majority of starts since the Midlands Championships. He has won three of his last four matches, with the loss coming to NCAA champion Zain Retherford of Penn State. Trimble, a senior who redshirted last season, was a runner-up at the Reno Tournament of Champions. He is currently 12-10 on the season, and coming off a close loss on Friday night to Eric Barone of Illinois. 157: Austin Thompson (Michigan State) vs. John Van Brill (Rutgers) Van Brill, who is ranked 17th, has done a nice job since stepping in the Rutgers lineup after NCAA qualifier Richie Lewis was lost for the season. He had wins over two ranked wrestlers at the Journeymen Tussle, and placed eighth at the Midlands. He has gone 3-2 since the Midlands, with both losses coming to All-Americans, Jason Nolf of Penn State and Brian Murphy of Michigan. Thompson, a redshirt freshman, has put together a nice season, going 21-10. Heading into his match on Friday night he had won four straight matches. On Friday, he fell to Kyle Langenderfer of Illinois 13-5. 165: Drew Hughes (Michigan State) vs. Willie Scott (Rutgers) Hughes, a true freshman, was the nation's No. 32 senior recruit in the country by InterMat last year. He has been impressive in the first few months of his college wrestling career, winning 20 of his first 25 matches. He has made the finals of three tournaments, winning titles at the Reno Tournament of Champions and Michigan State Open, while placing second at the Eastern Michigan Open. He has been up-and-down since winning a title in Reno, going 3-3, with two of those losses coming to unranked wrestlers. Scott, a redshirt freshman, has put together a solid season. He started the season by winning 12 of his first 15 matches, which included a 3-0 performance at the Journeymen Tussle, but has hit a rough stretch, losing his last five matches.

EVANSTON, Ill. -- The Indiana Hoosiers and the Northwestern Wildcats squared off on dual meet action on Friday evening at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Indiana closed out a back-and-forth meet for a 23-14 win, securing the Hoosiers' first Big Ten dual win of the season. The Hoosiers (8-5, 1-3) won 6-of-10 bouts to secure the win, and pushed the pace with three bonus point victories. The best sight of the night came after the intermission. With the Hoosiers trailing the meet 11-10 after five matches, Elijah Oliver (125) took the mat for his first competitive match since December 18. The sophomore utilized a breakneck pace in the first period to secure a 10-5 decision. Oliver's (10-3) win gave IU the 13-11 dual lead, but the Wildcats took back the advantage with Jason Ipsarides' win against Garrett Pepple (133). After that, the Hoosiers closed the meet with back-to-back-to-back bout wins, culminating in Jake Danishek's (157) 14-6 major decision. Weaver (141) scored his first Big Ten dual victory of the season with an 8-2 decision over Alec McKenna. The sophomore made his move in the second period, Blanking McKenna with a takedown and a stall point, before closing with a reversal and the riding time point in the third period. Chris Perez (149) followed with a 4-3 decision win that came down to his tiebreaking short time takedown in the second period. Danishek's major decision, his fourth of the year, was a will-imposing display by the 19th-ranked sophomore. He scored six takedowns, three in the first period, to take his third Big Ten dual win of the year. Bonus point wins from Devin Skatzka (174) and No. 6 Nate Jackson (184) kept Indiana within one point at intermission. Skatzka (20-6) erased Northwestern's 3-0 lead in 1:55, picking up his 10th pin of the season in the first period. The freshman had a 6-2 lead before seeking an opportunity for back points, but found a quick out at center mat. Jackson followed Skatzka's win with the most anticipated bout of the evening -- his rematch with Northwestern's No. 18 Mitch Sliga. The pair met in the championship bracket at midlands and Jackson took a major decision win. This time around, Jackson delivered a déjà vu moment with another major decision on Sliga, 12-3. For the 21st time this season, Jackson (23-2) didn't give up a takedown. He notched a pair of drops in the first period to hold a 5-1 lead, and continued with an escape, a takedown, and a ride-out in the second. Two more drops in the third brought Jackson's season total to 107 takedowns and secured his 16th victory with bonus points. The dual win snaps a five-meet losing streak to Northwestern, and it's Indiana's first dual win at Welsh-Ryan Arena in six years.

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- The top-ranked Oklahoma State wrestling team outlasted seventh-ranked Missouri Friday night at the Hearnes Center, holding off the Tigers, 20-16, to remain undefeated. "I think we knew there were going to be battle matches today," head coach John Smith said. "We won several of them, and we stretched some of the scores out. I think 125 was an important match, and 184 became real important. It wasn't our best match by far, but it's important to be able to struggle in matches and still find ways to win." Each team took five matches in the dual, but technical falls from Nick Piccininni and Nolan Boyd, and a dual-clinching victory from heavyweight Austin Schafer lifted the Cowboys to their ninth win of the season. Nick Piccininni opened the dual at 125 pounds with his third consecutive technical fall, shutting out Aaron Assad, 15-0, to give the Cowboys an early lead. Leading, 5-0, heading into the final period and opening the frame on top, Piccininni finished strong. The redshirt freshman turned Assad for a pair of nearfalls to boost his lead to 13-0. Thanks to Assad's second stall warning and the riding time point, Piccininni was able to finish off his fifth tech fall win of the season. The Cowboys expanded their lead to 11-0 after Kaid Brock and Dean Heil turned in decisions at 133 and 141, respectively. Brock, who held a 12-1 lead after the first period in his match with 14th-ranked John Erneste, outlasted a flurry from Erneste to open the second that cut his lead to 15-7. Erneste would pick up a point off Brock's second stall warning in the third, but the Cowboy was able to come out on top with the 15-8 decision. Heil pushed his undefeated record on the season to 18-0 with an 8-6 win over No. 9 Jaydin Eierman. Trailing late in the match, Eierman scored a takedown on Heil with just 10 seconds left, but it wouldn't be enough as Heil, who was in control for most of the bout, staved off one last Eierman attack to pull out the victory. Senior Anthony Collica took his first loss of the season at 149 pounds, coming up short to fourth-ranked Lavion Mayes in a back-and-forth battle. With the match tied at five after two periods, Mayes would pull away in the third beginning with a quick escape and takedown to open the frame. Collica would get the reversal to cut the deficit to one, but couldn't finish, dropping the 9-7 decision. The Cowboys took an 11-6 lead into intermission after Joe Smith dropped a 6-1 decision to sixth-ranked Joey Lavallee. Missouri picked up their second and third-straight wins out of halftime, as Chandler Rogers and Kyle Crutchmer both gave up decisions. Rogers dropped a narrow, 11-10, decision at 165 after No. 8 Daniel Lewis was awarded a decisive takedown at the buzzer. At 174 pounds, Crutchmer dropped a 4-1 decision to Dylan Wisman that would give the Tigers a 12-11 lead. OSU got back on track at 184 pounds, as senior Nolan Boyd earned his fourth-straight bonus-point win with a 20-5 tech fall over Missouri's Matt Lemanowicz. Boasting a 7-0 lead heading to the third, Boyd used five takedowns in the final frame to wrap up his third-straight tech. After Preston Weigel dropped a 12-2 major decision at the hands of top-ranked J'Den Cox to tie the dual score at 16, it was senior heavyweight Austin Schafer that stepped up to seal the win for the Pokes. Taking on Austin Myers, Schafer was in control throughout his match, overwhelming the Tiger redshirt freshman on the way to a 9-1 major decision that pushed the Cowboy senior to 17-1 on the season. "Regardless of the score, you go into every match wanting to win, wanting to find a way to win no matter what and rack up points on them," Schafer said. :It was a little different tonight, because you had to be more conservative and had to keep the team score in mind."

Thomas Gilman opened the dual meet with a technical fall victory (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The third-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team won six-of-10 matches and scored bonus points at 125 and 157 to defeat fourth-ranked Ohio State, 21-13, on Friday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Top-ranked Thomas Gilman opened the dual with a 23-8 technical fall over No. 18 Jose Rodriguez at 125, and second-ranked Michael Kemerer won by 14-3 major decision over Jake Ryan at 157. "Bonus points are big," said UI head coach Tom Brands. "They can be the difference in a dual like this and they will be the difference in March. We ironed some things out but there is still work to do." Iowa sent four top-five wrestlers to the mat and all four came away with wins. Third-ranked Brandon Sorensen used a second-period escape and a two-minute ride in the third to hand No. 5 Micah Jordan his first loss of the season, 2-0, at 149. The match was Sorensen's third in 13 days against a top-five opponent. He had previously dropped one-point overtime decisions against Oklahoma State and Penn State. "It's nice to be on the other side," Sorensen said, "but here's the thing, you're getting talked to the same way. Win or lose that, you're getting talked to the same way. That's not how we want it done." "There are a lot of ways to win that match and one of the ways is 2-0," Brands said. "He put a ride on him. He didn't just get riding time and let him up, he kept him down. That is a gutsy way to win but we can score more points." Sammy Brooks gets in on a shot against Myles Martin (Photo/Mark Lundy, Lutte-Lens.com) Fifth-ranked Sammy Brooks turned a 3-1 deficit into a 5-3 win against defending NCAA champion Myles Martin at 184. Brooks escaped to start the third and finished the period on top after taking Martin to the mat at the 1:30 mark, earning a point for riding time. "(Brooks) has gotten better at not getting rattled," Brands said. "He was wrestling extremely hard, he got a stall call, and then scores and finishes. He was patient on the leg. He didn't just dive for the ankle. I liked his patience and he also had urgency. So urgent patience." The Hawkeyes also got wins from redshirt freshmen at 165 and 285. They were the only two bouts that didn't feature a ranked wrestler, and they both went to Iowa. Joey Gunther scored a takedown in the final minute of the second period and opened the third with an escape to win, 3-0, at 165. Steven Holloway used two takedowns in the third to win 6-1 at 285. It was the first Big Ten win of Holloway's career. The Buckeyes picked up decisions at 133, 141, and 174, and won by major decision at 197. Topher Carton and Alex Meyer lost one-point decisions to ranked opponents. Carton ran out of time in a 5-4 loss to No. 14 Luke Pletcher, and No. 11 Meyer surrendered a late takedown to top-ranked Bo Jordan in a 3-2 loss at 174. Phillip Laux dropped a 10-3 decision to No. 1 Nathan Tomasello at 133, and Cash Wilcke lost 19-7 to No. 4 Kollin Moore at 197. Laux was wrestling in place of fourth-ranked Cory Clark, who was held out for precautionary reasons. "It's the smart thing to do and the right thing to do," Brands said. "We're very conservative and we're going to do the right thing. The call was mine." Iowa returns to the mat Friday, Feb. 3 hosting Wisconsin at 7 p.m. (CT) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for youth 18-years and younger. UI students and children five-years and younger are admitted free.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Fighting Illini wrestling won the first eight matches, scoring 30 points, as they beat Michigan State, 30-9, on Friday evening at Huff Hall. Beginning at 149 pounds, the Illini received bonus points from No. 18 Kyle Langenderfer, No. 1 Isaiah Martinez, No. 12 Zac Brunson, No.12 Emery Parker and No. 15 Brooks Black to pad the victory. Illinois improves to 3-2 in Big Ten duals, while Michigan State drops to 1-5 in the conference. "It is always great to be at home," said Head Coach Jim Heffernan of the three straight wins at Huff Hall. "We are [home] once this weekend and then once the next two weekends as well, but that means one of them is here so it's a good thing. I thought we wrestled okay [tonight]. It was nothing great. I don't think we were overly enthusiastic. We will need to be better on Sunday, but overall, it was a good win." Scoring the most dual points during the first period as he had all season, No. 1 Isaiah Martinez (18-0) earned his fifth technical fall in his last six matches, defeating Michigan State's Drew Hughes, 22-7. Martinez racked up eight takedowns in the first three minutes of action, coupled with a four-point near fall, to take a commanding 20-7 lead after the opening period. Tough on top, Hughes rode Martinez for the full two minutes of the second period and the beginning of the third, but received three stalling penalties to give Martinez the 22-7 technical fall. At 174 pounds and 184 pounds, Zac Brunson (22-4) and Emery Parker (21-4) led wire-to-wire to get major decisions at 174 pounds and 184 pounds, respectively. Brunson used three takedowns, a reversal and four-point nearfall to win 12-2, while Parker scored two takedowns and four back points to win, 10-1. Brunson's win is the 97th of his career, moving him into sole possession of 25th place on the Illinois all-time list. No. 18 Kyle Langenderfer (17-4) won his fifth straight match, third by major decision or greater, with a13-5 major decision against Austin Thompson at 157 pounds. After giving up a takedown 15 seconds into the match, Langenderfer went on an 8-0 run over the next four minutes, highlighted by a takedown and two back points in the second period, to lead 8-3 after two periods. Two more takedowns in the third period and a point for riding time sealed the extra point. Illinois' final bonus point came at heavyweight where Brooks Black used two sets of back points to carry his 14-2 major decision. After an early takedown of Jacob Cooper, Black got Cooper on his back for four points. Starting down in the second period, Black escaped and, again, got the takedown and four near fall points. The pair of four-point near falls ties Langenderfer's two at Ohio State for the most in a dual match this season. In addition to the five bonus-point victories, Illinois received victories from Andre Lee (197), Travis Piotrowski (125) and Eric Barone (149). Andre Lee (8-10) picked up his first Big Ten win of the season with a 4-0 shutout of James Russell. Lee took the Spartan 197 pounder to the mat 25 seconds into the opening period to take the early lead. After earning an escape in period two, the Illini sophomore rode Russell out for the riding time point. "He did some better things," said Heffernan of the Illini sophomore. "He was better on top. He had some good shots on his feet and stayed active. He's getting better and doing the right things. A lot of it is just confidence, so he's got one win under his belt and that should help him get some more." A true freshman, Piotrowski (12-8) picked up his first victory in front of the home crowd with a 2-1 decision against Mitch Rogaliner. The two 125-pound grapplers traded escapes, but Piotrowski's strength on top proved to be the difference, as the Illini freshman racked up 1:10 in riding time to win the match. "Coming straight from high school and up through college, it is a big transition, but I am having a lot of fun," Piotrowski said of his first collegiate season. "That is pretty much what this year is all about for me: going out there and having fun and doing my best and training hard. Last week, I was coming off a cold, but I am getting better now. I am really glad I got to go out there and get my first win." Finally, Eric Barone (5-5) picked up his third Big Ten dual win of the season with a 3-1 win in sudden victory against Nick Trimble. After a scoreless first period, Barone earned an escape in period two, but Trimble held the riding time point to force overtime. In the extra period, Barone wrapped up Trimble for winning takedown with 0:21 left on the clock to win the match. Up next, the Orange and Blue will look to continue their winning streak on the road, as the Illini travel to Tempe, Arizona for a Sunday evening showdown against No. 19 Arizona State at 5 p.m. central time.

Nevills led 3-2 late in the bout when Medbery notched a last second takedown to post a hard-fought 4-3 win. The loss to the second-ranked Badger senior was the first of the year for the Lion sophomore. True freshman Nick Suriano (Paramus, N.J.), ranked No. 3 at 125, put Penn State up 23-6 with a dominating 15-4 win over Jens Lantz at 125.

The fall was Retherford's 11th in his 14 wins this year. Penn State, which won seven of ten bouts, dominated the action from start to finish. The Nittany Lions rolled up 25 takedowns to only one for Wisconsin. Sanderson's Lions notched 12 bonus points off three pins (Nolf, Nickal, Retherford) and three majors (Hall, Suriano, Gulibon).

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 15-ranked University of Michigan wrestling team claimed six matches and minimized bonus points in several others to earn a solid 19-13 team win against No. 11 Rutgers on Friday evening (Jan. 27) in front of a capacity crowd of 1,830 at Cliff Keen Arena. Sophomore/freshman Jackson Striggow clinched the dual win with a 5-1 decision over Matthew Correnti in a pivotal swing match at 197 pounds -- his fourth conference win in five matches. After a scoreless first period, Striggow took control on a second-effort go behind midway through the second -- and rode out the frame -- before icing the match on a single-leg takedown late in the third. He again rode out the period to accumulate 1:49 in time advantage. The Wolverines opened the dual with back-to-back decisions from fifth-year senior Conor Youtsey and sophomore/freshman Stevan Micic at 125 and 133 pounds, respectively. Youtsey, ranked 10th in the latest InterMat poll, edged Brandon Paetzell, 5-1, in his first appearance at Keen Arena this season. Youtsey scored on a schuck in the waning seconds of the second and iced the matches with another late counter takedown in the third. He is 2-0 on the year. Micic, ranked seventh nationally, just missed on bonus points at 133 pounds, settling instead for a 10-3 decision over Scott DelVecchio. He scored on four takedowns -- two apiece in the first and second periods -- and accumulated 1:34 in riding time advantage. Among his takedowns, Micic finished on double-leg shot at the second-period buzzer. He was in on another leg attack late in the third but couldn't finish in time. Rutgers took a one-point lead with wins at 141 and 149 pounds, but sophomore/freshman Sal Profaci minimized points in the former, holding sixth-ranked Anthony Ashnault to a 7-3 decision. Profaci used a low single-leg takedown to cut his deficit to just two points in the third but couldn't finish on another late. Senior captain Brian Murphy, ranked 12th nationally at 157 pounds, claimed the dual's marquee matches with a 5-1 decision over 17th-ranked John Van Brill. After a wild scramble produced no points early in the first period, Murphy finished on a go behind in the waning seconds of the frame -- the takedown was challenged by Rutgers and confirmed -- and iced the bout with a single-leg takedown in midway through the third. Sophomore/freshman Logan Massa, ranked second at 165 pounds, cruised to a 19-6 major decision against Dylan Painton after the intermission break, using a variety of ankle picks, snap downs, singles and doubles to finish on seven takedowns. He added a reversal and a two-point leg turk in the second period and rode for 2:48. He is 20-1 on the season with 14 bonus wins. Sophomore/freshman Myles Amine, ranked ninth nationally, earned a 5-2 decision against Jordan Pagano in the subsequent match at 174 pounds. He scored on a first-period go-behind takedown, added a reversal in the second and rode out the third to secure 3:08 in time advantage. Senior/junior Aaron Calderon, wrestling up two weight classes at 184 pounds, played a big part in the team effort despite a defeat; like Profaci, holding 13th-ranked Nicholas Gravina to a 10-3 decision. The Scarlet Knight wrestler carried a six-point lead -- with riding-time also locked up -- into the third period, but Calderon pushed the pace, spending significant time in deep on a double-leg and fighting through to avoid point to two late flurries. The Wolverines will close out their home slate this Sunday (Jan. 29), hosting No. 10 Lehigh at 2 p.m. at Keen Arena. Limited tickets are still available through the U-M Ticket Office. The dual will also be streamed live on BTN Plus. Results: 125 -- Conor Youtsey (U-M) dec. Brandon Paetzell, 5-1 U-M, 3-0 133 -- #7 Stevan Micic (U-M) dec.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The fifth-ranked Virginia Tech wrestling team earned a hard fought victory on Friday evening as the Hokies (14-1, 3-0 ACC) got by No. 10 Lehigh, 21-15, in front of hostile crowd of 1,599 at Leeman-Turner Arena. Despite two losses from two of its highest-ranked wrestlers, the Hokies clawed their way to victory ahead of their ACC dual at 4 p.m. with Duke on Sunday at the Moss Arts Center. Tech is now 1-1 against top 10 teams this season and 4-1 overall against opponents ranked in the top 25. Redshirt senior Ty Walz picked up his 100th career victory over No. 16 Doug Vollaro at 285 pounds, becoming the 11th wrestler and the first heavyweight in program history to accomplish the feat. "I have some really mixed feelings right now but overall we struggled tonight," said head coach Kevin Dresser. "As a coach, I always learn a lot more about a team when things don't go our way. I will be interested to see how some individuals bounce back. This might make us better at the end of the year." The Mountain Hawks (8-3, 4-1 EIWA) struck first in the match as No. 8 Darian Cruz handed senior Joey Dance his first loss of the season with a 4-2 decision at 125 pounds. Redshirt junior Dennis Gustafson continued his string of recent strong performances at 133 with a 4-0 decision that tied the dual up at 3-3. After Lehigh picked up a pin at 141 pounds, redshirt sophomore Solomon Chisko, wrestling in his first match in a week since overcoming stomach pains, returned to form with a 3-1 win in sudden victory OT. The two grapplers had only scored two combined points through three periods before Chishko grabbed a single leg and picked up the clinching takedown. Momentum carried over to 157 where redshirt senior Sal Mastriani registered a 13-7 decision that gave the Hokies a 9-6 lead. Senior David Bergida battled with No. 13 Mitch Minotti at 165 by picking up a takedown with just under a minute left but he couldn't capitalize. With the score now tied at 9-9, two top five wrestlers battled it out at 174 pounds with No. 5 Ryan Preisch coming out on top with a 3-1 win in sudden victory OT, handing redshirt junior Zach Epperly his first loss of the season. The rest of the Tech upperweights stepped up though as redshirt sophomore Zack Zavatsky won a 9-3 decision and redshirt junior Jared Haight racked up six points by injury default. Walz showed again why he's one of the top scoring heavyweights in the country as he nearly picked up a major but came away with a 12-5 decision over Vollaro.

KENT, Ohio -- The Northern Illinois University wrestling team won seven of ten duals Friday night on their way to a Mid-American Conference victory over Kent State in Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center. "I was pleased with the energy level our guys put out there. We did a better job in the top position as well," commented head wrestling coach Ryan Ludwig. At 125-pounds, Brock Hudkins (Danville, Ind./Danville) started off the night strong for the Huskies, with a 5-0 decision. Hudkins' victory was followed by a forfeit accepted by Alijah Jeffery (Marion, Iowa/Linn-Mar), leading to a team score of 9-0, in favor of the Huskies. No. 13 Steve Bleise (Chelsea, Mich/Chelsea) took a commanding lead after the first period, 4-1, at 149-pounds. By the end of second period, he had stretched his lead to 8, before capping off the dual with a technical fall, 21-6. That is Bleise's third technical fall of the season. At 157, No. 31 Caden McWhirter (Pratville, Ala./Pratville) was down 4-2 at the end of the first period, before coming back to take the lead, 5-4, in the second. McWhirter held No. 30 Casey Sparkman scoreless in the third and picked up five additional points of his own, securing the win, 10-4, over his fellow nationally-ranked opponent. For the third win in as many bouts, Shaun'Qae McMurtry (Lockport, Ill./Nebraska) pinned Isaac Bast in 1 minute and 16 seconds, increasing the Huskies' lead to 17-3. This week's MAC Wrestler of the Week, No. 25 Trace Engelkes (Winnebago, Ill./Winnebago), improved his winning streaked to 5-0 after he held his opponent scoreless with an 8-0 win by major decision with bonus points. The Golden Flashes picked up their second win of the night when Jerald Spohn pinned Bryce Gorman (Manhattan, Ill./Lincoln-Way Central) at 184-pounds. At 197, No. 11 Shawn Scott (Holly,Mich./Holly) fought back for the Huskies, garnering his 99th career win in a tight 2-1 decision with riding time. "There's always things to work on and we will continue to address those issues as we progress," said Ludwig. The Huskies will head to Mount Pleasant, Mich. to take on another Mid-American Conference rival, Central Michigan, on Sunday Jan. 27. The dual will be aired on ESPN3 at 12 p.m. CST.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- Aggressiveness and toughness have been the buzzwords for coach Tom Borrelli and his Central Michigan wrestlers. The Chippewas provided plenty of both on Friday in winning seven of 10 matches en route to a 28-9 Mid-American Conference dual victory over Old Dominion at McGuirk Arena. The 17th-ranked Chippewas improved to 4-2, 2-2 MAC. They host Northern Illinois in a league dual on Sunday (2 p.m.). Old Dominion is 4-9, 1-5. Senior Austin Severn put the exclamation point on the victory with a second-period pin of 14th-ranked Kevin Beazley at 197 pounds, the final match of the night. “That's huge for me, for my confidence and whatnot, for the MAC and the seedings,” said Severn, who is ranked 18th. “It's definitely a win I needed to get.” The Chippewas also got a 16-1 technical fall victory from Colin Heffernan at 157, and major decision wins from Brent Fleetwood (125) and Justin Oliver (149). CMU's Corey Keener (133), CJ Brucki (174) and Newton Smerchek (HWT) won their respective matches by decision. The Chippewas recorded 18 takedowns to Old Dominion's six, and they had three near-falls while the Monarchs had none. “There's always things you can do better,” CMU coach Tom Borrelli said. “I felt like we were a little lethargic in a couple matches. I felt like they beat us back to the center a lot. “You're always looking for those things, you're always looking for attitude and effort, just body language and those things tell you a lot about conditioning and what you need to work on. There's some things we can improve on in that area, but for the most part, when we're attacking and trying to score points, we're getting more efficient. And that's important.” The Chippewas' three losses – Mason Smith (141), Logan Parks (165) and Jordan Ellingwood (184) – each came by two points and all three of those matches were very competitive and down to the wire. “Mason Smith's right in his match, Logan Parks is right in his match, Ellingwood's right in his match,” Borrelli said. “We were competitive and that's what you're looking for.” Severn had lost his one previous match with Beazley, 9-4, at the Midlands Championships in late December. On Friday, Severn trailed, 2-1, in the second period and evened the match with an escape. He then took down Beazley, a junior and an NCAA qualifier last season, and finished him with a cradle. “He out-wrestled me that match,” Severn said of the December bout. “I kind of had a feel for what he was going to do and I knew I had to get moving there in the second (period). I kind of had a slow first period and I knew I had to open up in the second. “I worked a lot more on bottom, getting away, more movement on bottom. … I've really been working on that.” Said Borrelli: “I was real happy for Austin. That's a big win for him. He was wrestling a real quality opponent and he's behind and figures out how to get to a front headlock and turns that into a cradle. Real important for Austin. He needs that.” Results: 125: Brent Fleetwood, (CMU) major dec. Steven Simpson, 10-2 133: Corey Keener (CMU) dec. Alex Madrigal, 6-0 141: Kevin Budock (ODU) dec.

AMES, Iowa -- The No. 14 Oklahoma wrestling team downed Iowa State, 30-12, on Friday night inside Hilton Coliseum. With the win the Sooners moved to 7-4 overall and 3-1 in the Big 12. The Sooners used five bonus-point victories, including one pin, two technical falls and two major decisions, for their sixth win in the month of January. Davion Jeffries started off the dual at 149 pounds with a 9-1 major decision over Gabe Moreno. The match was scoreless after the opening period, but Jeffries secured a reversal to start the second and tacked on a 4-point nearfall to lead 6-0 through the second. The sophomore added a takedown and the riding-time point in the final frame for the bonus-point win. In the 157-pount bout, No. 13 Clark Glass knocked off Colston DiBlasi by 5-4 decision. Glass held a 3-2 lead after the opening frame and tacked on a reversal in the second for a 5-3 advantage. Glass held on in the third to put the Sooners up 7-0 through two matches. At 165 pounds, Yoanse Mejias kept the momentum rolling for the Sooners with a 15-7 major decision over Logan Breitenback.

The junior added two takedowns, a penalty point and the riding-time point for the bonus-point victory. No. 19 Brad Johnson extended the Oklahoma lead to 16-9 with a 19-4 technical fall in 5:59 over Marcus Harrington. Johnson tallied six takedowns, a 4-point nearfall and a 2-point nearfall in the matchup to give the Sooners a 16-9 advantage through six matches. Ross Larson made quick work of Quean Smith in the heavyweight bout, recording a win by fall in 1:00 for his 50th career pin. The redshirt senior is the current active NCAA career-pins leader and needs just nine more falls to break the OU career-pins record of 58 set by Dan Chaid. At 125 pounds, Christian Moody downed Kyle Larson by 5-3 decision. Moody led 2-1 at the end of the opening period and tallied another takedown in the second frame. He added a third in the final period to give the Sooners a 25-9 lead with two bouts remaining. Mike Longo capped off the match on a strong note for the Sooners, knocking off John Meeks by 15-0 technical fall in six minutes. Longo led 2-0 after the opening period but added two takedowns and two 4-point nearfalls in the second frame to give the Sooners their second consecutive score of 30-or-more points. No. 10 Lelund Weatherspoon recorded a win by defensive fall in 4:48 over Matt Reed at 174 pounds, and Andrew Dixon dropped a 4-1 decision to Carson Powell in the 184-pound bout.

LEWISBURG, Pa. -- Thanks to wins in the final five bouts, including an exclamation-point pin by Tyler Smith to conclude the match, the Bucknell wrestling team overcame an early 10-0 deficit and defeated Penn by a 22-13 score Friday evening in front of a loud crowd in Davis Gym. It was the fourth consecutive win for the Bison, who improved to 6-4, 4-1 EIWA on the year. Penn fell to 2-5, 0-4 EIWA. The match began at 149 pounds and the Quakers won the first three bouts to open up the double-figure advantage. However, Bucknell won six of the final seven bouts on its way to the victory. D.J. Hollingshead got things started at 174 with a convincing 9-1 major decision over Quinton Hiles. Hollingshead finished with more than five minutes of riding time, and his emotions on the mat got the crowd behind him. “D.J. wrestled with emotion tonight,” commented Bucknell head coach Dan Wirnsberger. “Someone needed to get this crowd going and he did that tonight. He has gotten our team going in four different duals this year.” After a loss at 184, Bucknell ran the table the rest of the way with four straight decisions and then the match-ending pin by Smith. In the lone matchup of nationally ranked opponents, Tom Sleigh posted a 3-2 decision at 197 pounds, defeating Frank Mattiace. The difference in the match was a third-period takedown by Sleigh, who won his 13th consecutive bout. Tyler Greene was outsized at 285 pounds by Tyler Hall, but came away with an 8-4 victory. Greene outscored Hall 5-3 in the third period thanks to a pair of takedowns. A crowd full of Lewisburg fans who had watched their Green Dragons take on Southern Columbia in a high school match just prior to Bucknell-Penn watched 2016 Lewisburg graduate Jordan Gessner post a 6-5 win over Jeremy Schwartz at 125 pounds. A penalty point that Gessner earned in the third period proved to be the difference in the close match. It was Gessner's third consecutive win. “Jordan has developed and is starting to figure things out,” praised Wirnsberger. “He battles in practice and now he is taking it to the competition mat.” Gessner's victory tied the score at 13-13 with just two bouts remaining. Joey Gould gave Bucknell its first lead with a 7-2 victory at 133 pounds. He scored two points in every period and earned the riding time point thanks to a more than four-minute advantage. Smith then closed the match with a dominating performance at 141 pounds. He led 19-5 when he finally pinned Patrick Munn with 38 seconds remaining in the final period. Smith had four takedowns in the final period. Friday's match marked the beginning of a busy weekend for the Bison, who will travel to Bloomsburg for a 2 p.m. match on Sunday.
