FAIRFAX, Va.- George Mason University's wrestling team dominated Bloomsburg from very start of the dual, winning by the score of 38-4. The Patriots only dropped one match on the day. The dual started at the 141 pound weight division and redshirt freshman Tejon Anthony(141) was able to set the tone with his aggressive wrestling style. Anthony ended up winning by technical fall 3:32 into the match, 18-3. After a forfeit in the 149 pound weight division, Mason's redshirt senior captain Greg Flournoy(157) won a hard fought match, 5-3. Flournoy gained his fifth point for riding time after refusing to let his opponent from Bloomsburg get an escape point in the third period, which could have potentially tied the match at 4 apiece. Redshirt junior Patrick Davis(165) produced a quick takedown and won by fall as he pinned his opponent only 1:18 into the match. Following Davis' strong performance, redshirt sophomore Daniel Mika earned his first win of the season for the Patriots with a tightly contested win by decision, 6-4. Redshirt junior Luke Ludke produced another win for Mason, however, the Patriot needed overtime to decide the match. In overtime, Ludke got a takedown and won decision 3-1. Redshirt freshman Matt Voss(HWT) gave Mason another win by decision, 5-3. The win gave Voss 20 wins on the season, an impressive mark for the Patriot wrestler's first season. In the final match of the dual after a second Bloomsburg forfeit, coming at the 125 pound weight division, redshirt senior captain Vince Rodriguez(133) broke out of his recent slump to win by decision, 6-1. Rodriguez had lost two straight matches and got back on track with a confidence building win. Mason finishes the week with a 1-1 record and will try and carry over the momentum from two solid performances against Franklin & Marshall and Bucknell next Saturday, at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., respectively.

The University of Wyoming wrestling team used bonus points in six matches in a 37-7 win over Northern Colorado on Saturday evening in the UniWyo Sports Complex. The 37 team points was Wyoming's highest team score of the season. Saturday night's win also marked the Cowboys' 50th win against the Bears in a series that dates back to 1932. “I thought we wrestled pretty well as a team,” UW head coach Mark Branch said. “We were very aggressive, yet a little sloppy at times. We got off to a slow start and we controlled what we could control.” The Pokes were aggressive all night earning a pair matches by fall, two matches by major decision and capping the night with a technical fall and a major decision. The Cowboys opened the dual with five-straight wins as UW improves to 5-6 overall and 3-4 in Big 12 duals. The Bears fell to 3-6 overall and 0-4 in Big 12 action. “Archie (Colgan) had some really nice takedowns and had some nice shots in an aggressive in the opening period,” Branch said. “When you see more aggression you see more sloppiness, but it is better than what we saw a few weeks ago.” Sophomore Luke Paine opened the dual with a 10-6 decision over Tyler Kinn. Paine battled back in the matches' final period earning a four-point nearfall with 10 seconds left in the match to give the Pokes a 3-0 dual lead. Junior Benjamin Stroh picked up his third major decision win of the season with a 10-1 tally over Tanner Davis. He took control of the match with a takedown and two-point nearfall in the second period to advance the UW lead to 7-0. Stroh recorded over four minutes of riding time. Junior Brandon Tribble earned bonus points in a dual for the first time this season with his 11-3 win over Tommy Chisholm. He dominated the match with over three minutes of riding time and used a takedown and two-point nearfall to earn the major decision and give the Cowboys an 11-0 dual lead. Senior Tanner Harms continued his solid wrestling with a pin of Jack Kuck at 5:31 of the match. He improved to 8-1 on the season against members of the Big 12. Harms has also won five-straight matches. Junior Drew Templeman gave UW a 22-0 dual lead with his 16-0 technical fall win over Jesse Reed. He finished the match with a four-point nearfall and a pair of two-point nearfalls for his second technical fall win of the season. The Bears earned their first win of the dual to make the matchup 22-4 after freshman Drake Foster fell by major decision to Rico Montoya. Sophomore Bryce Meredith wasted little time extending the Cowboys lead to 28-4 with a pin of Ben Polkowske at 4:31 of the match. It was his 10th dual win of the season and his seventh-consecutive win. He leads the Cowboys in dual points with 43 on season. Junior Cole Mendenhall picked up a 17-13 decision over Nick Adams to make the dual 31-4 UW. Mendenhall had a strong opening period with five takedowns. Junior Archie Colgan won the Cowboys' final match of the night with an injury default win over Eleazar De Luca in a match that was pivotal to Big 12 tournament rankings. “We need to figure some things out and figure what team we will bring to Kansas City and we will use the next dual to figure that out” Branch said. “We have good period of time to train ourselves physically and really get healthy.” The Cowboys return to action next Saturday night with a 7 p.m. dual in the UniWyo Sports Complex against Utah Valley. UW will honor their three seniors prior to the dual. Results: 174: Luke Paine, dec. (10-6) over Tyler Kinn, 3-0 WYO 184: Benjamin Stroh, Major dec.

No. 19 Kent State (13-3, 6-1 MAC) erased a 10-0 deficit in a 22-13 win over Northern Iowa Saturday Night at West Gymnasium. The Golden Flashes extended their winning streak to seven by capturing seven straight bouts in the first program win against the Panthers. "I couldn't be more proud of our guys," Head Coach Jim Andrassy said. "They are doing all the right things to prepare themselves, and it's paying off. We keep finding ways to win." An injury to Mack McGuire (Upper St. Clair, Pa.) Friday night forced the Flashes to forfeit 133. With his team trailing 10-0 after two bouts, Anthony Tutolo gave Kent State a boost with an 8-7 comeback victory over Tyler Willers. Tutolo trailed 4-0 to start the match, but evened things up at 5-5 at the end of the second. Willers escaped to take a brief lead (6-5), but Tutolo converted his second takedown of the match and secured riding time. "Anthony has had some struggles in the first period, but we knew if he could weather the storm, he could give himself a chance to win it in the third," Andrassy said. "Their guy used up a lot of his juice in the first and Anthony just chipped away." Mike DePalma (Jeannette, Pa.) racked up 3:32 of riding time on his way to an 8-0 major decision over Adam Perrin. DePalma scored takedowns in all three periods. Ian Miller (Oak Harbor, Ohio) tied the dual up 10-10 with a 9-4 decision over Bryce Steiert. Miller picked up four takedowns along with a riding time point. Tyler Buckwalter (Mill Hall, Pa.) gave the Flashes their first lead with a 7-2 decision over Taylor Berger. It was the second of three Kent State wins, despite trailing after the first period. "Northern Iowa comes out and hand fights hard and disrupts our guys," Andrassy said. "But when we have the better wrestler and stick to our technique, it pays off. Tyler was a good example of that. He had a bad first period and outwrestled him the rest of the way." Jairod James (Bedford, Ohio) improved to 2-0 in dual meets this season with a 5-2 decision over Kyle Lux. James secured takedowns in the first and third periods for the Flashes fifth consecutive win of the night. Senior Cole Baxter (Butler, Pa.) came through with a pair of clutch takedowns in a 7-5 sudden victory win over Drew Foster. Baxter scored a takedown in the final 10 seconds of the third to force overtime and tallied another takedown 30 seconds into sudden victory. "Cole outscrambled his guy at the edge to tie it up," Andrassy said. "And he just kept attacking in overtime." Redshirt freshman Kyle Conel (Ashtabula, Ohio) made it seven straight for the Flashes and 13 straight from himself with a 6-4 decision over Cody Krumwiede. Conel went to work in the first with a pair of takedowns and sealed his win with a reversal in the third. Andrassy also commended the effort of redshirt freshman Stephen Suglio (Richfield, Ohio), who held a third period lead against No. 16 Blaize Cabell. A reviewed call in the third went in Cabell's favor on the way to a 9-6 decision. The Flashes return to action Sunday, Feb. 14, hosting Central Michigan and Edinboro in a tri-meet.

PROVIDENCE -- A road trip was just what the University of Pennsylvania needed. One week after two tough performances close to home, the Quakers swept a pair of Ivy League and EIWA meets with victories at Brown (25-9) and Harvard (26-9). The Red and Blue won a total of 14 matches in the two duals, and secured bonus points in five to improve to 5-3 this season and 2-1 inside the Ivy League. Five Quakers - Caleb Richardson, C.J. Cobb, Casey Kent, Lorenzo Thomas and Patrik Garren won both their matches in the dual meet. The Quakers never trailed against Brown, but needed bonus points from their big guns late to put an exclamation point on the win. And what an exclamation point it was. No. 12 Lorenzo Thomas worked his way through a scoreless first period against Austin Pfarr, and reversed Pfarr to his back early in the second period for a 6-0 lead. Moments later, Thomas worked an arm bar into a cradle and pinned Pfarr at 3:57. The fall for Thomas followed up a major decision from No. 15 Casey Kent at 174 pounds. Kent had four takedowns in the match, scoring the final two in the third period to secure the major decision. Kent was dominant in the match, working hard for turns and racking up 4:46 of riding time. Overall, Penn won seven bouts in the dual meet. Frank Mattiace returned to the lineup at 197 pounds after missing the last month with injury. Mattiace was ready to go in the first period, scoring two takedowns and building a 4-1 lead. In the end, Mattiace was able to use the riding time point for a 7-6 decision over Augustus Marker. Patrik Garren followed with a 12-8 win at heavyweight in a match that he was in control of the entire way with five takedowns. After a 3-2 loss for Jeremy Schwartz at 125 pounds, Caleb Richardson gave Penn a 9-3 lead with an 8-3 decision at 133. Richardson scored two takedowns in the first period against Zeke Salvo, and added a third in the final period for the win. Marc Mastropietro was edged at 141, 3-2, by Charlie Banaszak to cut into Penn's lead, but the Red and Blue would win four of the final five matches to cruise to the win. No. 12 C.J. Cobb needed overtime to defeat Steven Galliardo, 6-4, but rallied after a late escape from Galliardo with 0:02 on the clock forced overtime. In sudden victory, Cobb re-shot in for the winning score with 15 seconds remaining. No. 20 Justin Staudenmayer used his 1:12 of riding time to edge May Bethea, 2-1, at 157 pounds to once again bring Brown within three points. Brooks Martino came through with a gutty win for his team with a 9-6 decision over Jon Viruet at 165 pounds. Martino battled through a first period which saw Viruet attempt a headlock throw only for Martino to land out of bounds. Martino would then win a scramble for a takedown but saw Viruet score one of his own for a 3-3 tie after one. In the second, Viruet tried an arm drag but ran out of room only to score on a cradle. Martino would escape and counter with a takedown of his own before the period completed for a 6-6 score after two periods. In the third, a Martino escape gave him the lead and a takedown in the final 10 seconds secured the win. In the nightcap, the Quakers did themselves one better with a 26-9 win. Wins at the upperweights helped the Red and Blue secure the dual meet, including a major from May Bethea and tech falls from Casey Kent and Lorenzo Thomas. The dual started with a 3-2 decision from Caleb Richardson over Jeffrey Ott at 133 pounds. Richardson scored the bout's only takedown in the first period, and an escape in the third was the difference. After Marc Mastropietro was unable to knock off No. 9 Todd Preston in a 3-1 defeat, No. 12 C.J. Cobb got Penn back in the win column with a 12-5 decision over Patrik Hogan. Cobb had three takedowns in the bout and added two points of nearfall. Bethea dominated Tyler Tarsi for a 19-8 major decision, scoring six takedowns and adding four backpoints. At 165, No. 20 Devon Gobbo held on to stave off Brooks Martino, 6-4. No. 15 Casey Kent did not concede a point in a 15-0 tech fall win over Josef Johnson. Kent had a takedown and two sets of four-point nearfall in the first period, then added two more takedowns for the finish at 6:39. No. 12 Lorenzo Thomas went the distance for his tech fall, but three takedowns and three four-point nearfall sent him on his way to a 16-1 win. At 197, Joe Heyob knocked off Josh Popple, 8-4. Heyob took control of the match with a takedown and four backpoints in the first period. Patrik Garren followed with a 2-1 win over Angus Cowell with 1:01 of riding time the deciding point.

At 133 Rider's Rob Deutsch put the Broncs ahead again with a 6-3 decision over David Pearce, but then Devoy would take back the Drexel lead with a late, come-from-behind 5-3 victory over Rider's Paul Kirchner. Leading 12-10, Cimato worked hard to keep the advantage in Drexel's favor. Faced with Rider's No. 15 B.J. Clagon, Cimato led 3-2 at the start of the third period. Clagon was able to secure a late takedown to take a 4-3 lead, but Cimato was awarded a riding time point that forced overtime. Neither wrestler scored in sudden victory, but in the first tie-breaker Cimato earned a crucial takedown and was able to hold on and walk away with a 6-4 overtime win that extended the Dragons' lead to 15-10 with just two matches to go. 157 was a hard fought match by Richard Viruet but ultimately Rider's No. 14 Chad Walsh earned a 10-2 major that put the Broncs within one point of the Dragons on the team score, 15-14. With the fate of the Dragons' outcome in Rose's hands, the redshirt sophomore trailed Rider's No. 19 Conor Brennan, 4-3 with short time remaining. With 11 seconds left in regulation, Rose secured a big takedown that turned into a pin count and ultimately resulted in a win-by-fall with just seven seconds left in the match. This pin gave Drexel more than it needed to earn its second victory of the day and walk away with a weekend sweep. With the wins, the Dragons improve to 8-7 overall and 4-3 in EIWA competition. Franklin & Marshall moves to 3-12, 0-8 EIWA, while Rider moves to 9-9, 4-2 EWL.

For a split second, it seemed Josef Johnson was poised to break the hearts of Tiger Nation. Perhaps this team was too young, perhaps it just wasn't ready for the moment. Fortunately, a split second later, the dream was alive and well. Two weeks, two heart-stopping matches, and two New Jersey state champions who posted dramatic victories to keep Princeton perfect in the Ivy League race. One week after freshman Pat D'Arcy's decision to clinch a 19-15 win over Penn, sophomore Jonathan Schleifer ducked under a takedown attempt in overtime and scored a 3-1 victory to lead Princeton to a 19-16 win over Harvard. Schleifer's win evened the team score at 16-16, and set up senior Abram Ayala to finish the job. The two-time NCAA qualifier dominated the legs of Michael Mocco for four takedowns en route to a clinching 19-16 victory in Boston. "I remember fighting really hard to not give up position, and to come out on top," Schleifer said. Princeton ended up on top, but it was a wild journey getting there. The Tigers won the first three matches of the day, starting with a 6-4 victory for 11th-ranked Brett Harner. Junior heavyweight Ray O'Donnell followed his Penn win with a 5-0 victoryover Angus Cowell, and D'Arcy continued his strong rookie season with a 2-1 victory at 125; the winning point for D'Arcy came via riding time, as he controlled Nolan Hellickson for the majority of the second period. "Pat really showed how tough he can be," Schleifer said. "He stayed offensive and kept good position the entire match despite the high stakes and close score." The Princeton momentum was short-lived, as Harvard bounced back with three wins of its own. A pin at 133 and a major decision by former All-American Todd Preston at 141 set up a 3-2 win for Patrick Hogan and a 13-9 Crimson lead. Princeton senior Adam Krop provided a much-needed 12-0 major decision at 157. He scored a takedown in the first and followed with four back points to grab control, and he never let up the rest of the match. Harvard reclaimed the lead when 20th-ranked Devon Gobbo scored a 10-4 decision; at that point, Harvard led 16-13 and needed only one more win to grab the team victory. Schleifer was up first, and he and Johnson went seven minutes without a takedown. That set up the overtime and the dramatic final takedown, which you can see above. That win, plus Ayala's clincher, sends Princeton into a Super Sunday showdown at Brown (1 pm, Ivy League Digital Network) with a chance to keep the dreams of a Championship Saturday against Cornell alive.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- No. 6 Lehigh extended its dual win streak to 10 and clinched its first unbeaten dual season against EIWA opponents in six years as the Mountain Hawks defeated American 32-8 Saturday inside Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall. The Mountain Hawks won eight weight classes with three bonus wins plus a forfeit to improve to 12-1 overall on the dual season. With a 7-0 dual mark against EIWA opponents, Lehigh will represent the EIWA NWCA National Championship Dual Series Sunday February 21 at a Big Ten Opponent that is still to be determined. "We wrestled hard but I think we were a little flat," Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro said. "Sometimes that week layoff sometimes does that to you. We had two good weeks of training, but sometimes that zaps your legs a little bit. They pushed themselves through that when they needed to." Sophomore Darian Cruz upended David Terao in a battle of top-15 grapplers in the featured bout of the dual, setting the tone for Lehigh as the Mountain Hawks raced to a 16-0 lead after four bouts. The eighth-ranked Terao raced to a 4-2 lead with takedowns in each of the first two periods. Cruz, ranked No. 14 at 125 was able to turn the tides in the second period with an escape in front of the American bench. He then slapped on a cradle for a go ahead takedown and was able to work Terao onto his back for four near fall points to lead 9-4 after two periods. Terao escaped to open the third but Cruz's second takedown of the match gave him an 11-5 lead before Terao scored in the final seconds to make the final tally 11-8. "That was a big match, for both EIWA seeding and national seeding," Santoro said. "It was fun to watch. We knew big moves could be a part of this match between those two and it ended up being that way. I'm sure they'll see each other again, but it was a good way to start the match off." For the second straight dual Mason Beckman was awarded a win by forfeit after American's Esteban Gomez-Rivera was injured in the Eagles' Friday night loss at Binghamton and was unable to compete. Beckman's 96th career victory gave Lehigh a 10-0 advantage. At 141, junior Randy Cruz was challenged by Tyler Scotton but persevered to pull off a 7-3 win in sudden victory. Cruz rode out the second period and escaped early in the third to take a 1-0 lead but fell victim to a slick duck under by Scotton. An escape by Cruz tied the bout at two and while Cruz had riding time advantage, a second stall warning gave Scotton a third point and sent the match to overtime. In the sudden victory period Cruz converted an early shot into a takedown and added a pair of near fall points for the 7-3 margin. Junior Laike Gardner capped the Lehigh run, using a big third period to pick up a 13-5 major decision over Mike Dahlstrom at 149. Gardner led 4-2 after two and picked up a penalty point for stalling plus four third period takedowns to establish the eight point cushion. With junior Mitch Minotti still sidelined at 157, sophomore Drew Longo got the call against 13th-ranked John Boyle. The third Mountain Hawk to man 157 in a dual this season, Longo hung tough with Boyle, fighting off several Boyle attempts early while nearly converting a few of his own. Boyle rode tough in the second period before Longo was able to escape and broke a 1-1 tie with a third period takedown, plus riding time to win 4-2 and cut Lehigh's lead to 16-3 at intermission. Junior Matt Bonshak made his varsity dual debut at 165 in place of injured freshman Ryan Preisch and scored an early takedown against American's Mitchell Weightman, but the Eagle senior took over from there with takedowns in each of the first two periods and a trio of four point near falls to earn a 20-2 technical fall that was clinched with five seconds remaining on the third period clock. Lehigh capped the dual by taking the final four bouts with a pair of 9-3 decisions sandwiched around a pair of technical falls. At 174 freshman Gordon Wolf earned a 9-3 decision over Michael Eckhart, while senior Nathaniel Brown clinched the dual with his eighth technical fall of the season, topping Jason Grimes 16-0 at the 4:07 mark. Brown scored a takedown and added three sets of four point near falls to lead 14-0 after one period. With choice for the second, Brown opted to go after the takedown instead of the easy escape to end the match and chose neutral. He finally secured the tech with a takedown with 53 second remaining in the second period. Brown ranks second in Division I with eight technical falls. Senior John Bolich scored three first period takedowns before going to work on the mat for near fall points. A pair of four point near falls in the second period secured a 20-2 technical fall in 3:57. In the final bout of the dual, senior Max Wessell downed Jake Scanlan 9-3 at 285. Wessell scored early and added two third period takedowns plus a pair of penalty points for stalling, but ran out of time in his bid for a major decision. The Mountain Hawks will host two matches next weekend to close out their home schedule. Lehigh will host undefeated and No. 1-ranked Penn State Friday at Stabler Arena. That match is now sold out, but free streaming video will be available on the Patriot League Network. On Sunday, February 14, Lehigh will host Bloomsburg on Senior Day at Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall. Tickets for the match, including $2 upper level seats can be purchased at LehighTickets.com or by calling 610-7LU-GAME during normal business hours. Results: 125: Darian Cruz (Lehigh) dec.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A late fall by freshman Joey McKenna propelled the Stanford wrestling team to a 23-16 win over Air Force, Saturday, at Discover Canyon High School. Stanford scored bonus points in three bouts, including major decisions by Nathan Butler and Garet Krohn, to move to 10-3 on the season.

There was no score after the opening period and Malecek elected to go down to start the second. The redshirt sophomore was able to record four nearfall points in the second as he remained on top for the duration of the period. Butler then got the escape to start the third and tacked on a stalling point, a takedown and riding time for his 22nd win of the season. Redshirt sophomore Connor Schram picked up his second win of the week with an 8-4 decision over Issac Jimenez at 125 pounds.

The true freshman was leading 7-2 late in the third against Dylan Hyder at 141 pounds and looking to get the major decision as he registered a late takedown which he turned into a fall. McKenna is now 18-1 overall and 10-0 in duals. Redshirt sophomore Tommy Pawelski added to the Cardinal lead with a 3-1 sudden victory over Jerry Mcginty at 149 pounds. Tied 1-1 going into overtime, Pawelski recorded a takedown with 13 seconds left to improve to 6-8 on the year. Leading 16-9 after having to forfeit at 157 pounds, Stanford's Jim Wilson posted a 5-1 decision over Alex Lopouchanski at 165 pounds. Ranked 18th nationally, Wilson led 3-1 in the third and secured a late takedown to seal the win. He move to 20-5 overall and 12-1 in duals this season. Krohn's major decision over Zen Ikehara at 184 pounds solidified the dual win for the Cardinal, leading 23-12 with one bout left.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Evan Henderson's eighth pin of the year and technical falls from Joey Ward and John Michael Staudenmayer powered No. 14 North Carolina to a 27-20 win at No. 18 Virginia Saturday afternoon at Memorial Gymnasium. Nine of the 10 matches were won with bonus points in an action-packed dual that saw the Tar Heels get their first ACC win of the year and beat the Cavaliers for the second year in a row. Virginia (6-5, 1-3 ACC) raced out to a 12-0 lead thanks to consecutive pins and 125 and 133 pounds. Nick Herrmann stuck Anthony Bosco with 1:02 left in the second period before No. 6 George DiCamillo scored a first-period fall against James Szymanski. Carolina (10-3, 1-2 ACC) started the comeback immediately, with No. 11 Ward putting together a dominant performance at 141. The redshirt junior from Cincinnati scored early and often against Zachary Watson before the match was stopped with four seconds left in the first period and Ward up 16-0. No. 6 Henderson did Ward one better by planting Christopher Yankowich after 2:25 for his eighth pin of the year. The two-time All-American now has 44 career pins, just six shy of the school career record of 50 set by three-time NCAA champ T.J. Jaworsky. Andrew Atkinson briefly slowed the UNC momentum with a major decision at 157 before No. 10 Staudenmayer evened the dual at 165. Staudenmayer took control of the match early and led 14-0 after one period and finished the tech fall 1:21 into the second to tie the team score at 16. No. 2 Ramos blanked Tyler Askey 12-0 for a major decision that gave the Tar Heels their first lead of the day at 20-16. The redshirt sophomore improved to a team-best 16-2 on the year and 12-1 in dual competition. Redshirt senior No. 19 Alex Utley put Carolina in great shape with his major decision over Will Schany at 184 before Chip Ness sealed the victory. Trailing 5-4 with less than 20 seconds left in a back-and-forth match with Virginia's No. 10 Zachary Nye at 197, Ness scored a takedown and rode out the win. Patrick Gillen finished the dual with an 11-2 major decision over Cory Daniel at heavyweight to make it nine of 10 bouts decided with bonus points.

"The Birth of a Nation" -- a film written and directed by former Penn State and Oklahoma wrestler Nate Parker -- was something of a sensation at the Sundance Film Festival this winter, not only cleaning up on major awards, but also sold for the highest price of any film in the long history of the Park City, Utah festival. Nate ParkerThe film which tells the story of the 1831 slave revolt led by Nat Turner won the grand jury prize for a narrative film and was voted the best movie by audiences at the festival, "setting up an expected 2017 Oscar run," according to the New York Times. If that weren't enough, Fox Searchlight Pictures paid $17.5 million -- a Sundance record -- for the distribution rights to Parker's 118-minute film, which was independently financed for about $10 million. In accepting the awards on stage, Parker -- who, in addition to his writer/director roles, played Nat Turner in the film -- said, "An issue film succeeds when it touches people. I've seen that people are open to change." Before his "The Birth of a Nation" premiered at Sundance, Parker told the audience, "I made this film for one reason: creating change agents." The former Nittany Lion-turned-Sooner wrestler added that getting the film made was "extremely difficult for many reasons … the first was our subject matter: anytime we are dealing with history, specifically slavery, I found that desperately sanitized. There's a resistance, I'll say, to dealing with this material." "It took Nate Parker seven years, $100,000 of his own money, and a lot of hard work to make 'The Birth of a Nation,'" according to Wired.com. Film critic Justin Chang of the entertainment publication Variety seems to think the time and effort on Parker's part was more than worth it. In the opening paragraph of his strongly positive review, Chang wrote, "It speaks to his ambition that the writer, director, producer and actor Nate Parker chose to title his slavery drama "The Birth of a Nation" though the film would be a significant achievement by any name. Arriving more than a century after D.W. Griffith's epic lit up the screen with racist images forever destined to rankle and provoke, this powerfully confrontational account of Nat Turner's life and the slave rebellion he led in 1831 seeks to purify and reclaim a motion-picture medium that has only just begun to treat America's 'peculiar institution' with anything like the honesty it deserves." (Yes, there is another film titled "The Birth of a Nation" -- the first feature-length (two hour) silent film in the U.S., which was written and directed by D.W. Griffith. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Griffith's 1915 silent film "focuses on two white families during the Civil War and the Ku Klux Klan's rise during Reconstruction. Much of what was portrayed in the first feature-length U.S. movie is repugnantly racist, but it changed the film business forever.") In addition to Nate Parker, other actors in "The Birth of a Nation" include Armie Hammer, Mark Boone Jr., Colman Domingo, Aunjanue Ellis, Dwight Henry, Aja Naomi King, Esther Scott, Roger Guenveur Smith, Gabrielle Union, Penelope Ann Miller, Jackie Earle Haley, Tony Espinosa, Jayson Warner Smith, and Jason Stuart. Parker's current career started when he was discovered at a modeling convention in Dallas (he was attending with a friend) which led to a commercial… then roles in TV and movies. His films include Denzel Washington's The Great Debaters, Secret Life of Bees, and Beyond the Lights. Prior to launching his film career, Nate Parker made a name for himself on the wrestling mat. Born in November 1979 in Norfolk, Va., Parker was introduced to wrestling as a high school sophomore. At national wrestling powerhouse Great Bridge High School, Parker claimed the 125-pound Division AAA title at the 1998 Virginia state championships, and an eighth place finish at the Junior Nationals. Parker earned a scholarship to wrestle at Penn State, and became a starter. However, he left the school after he and a teammate were accused of having had non-consensual sex with a woman; he was acquitted in 2001. Parker transferred to the University of Oklahoma, where he earned All-American honors by placing fifth in the 141-pound bracket at the 2002 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- With a match against No. 4 Oklahoma State looming on Sunday, the Cornell wrestling team made sure it wasn't looking ahead and took care of business to remain atop the Ivy League standings, winning its 71st consecutive conference match with a 23-15 triumph over Columbia on Saturday afternoon at the Friedman Wrestling Center. The Big Red improved to 4-4 on the year, while the Lions fell to 8-5 (1-2 Ivy). Cornell forfeited at 125 and used four backups in the lineup, but a late rally by Owen Scott at 197 sealed the win for the Big Red. The teams traded forfeits, with Cornell surrendering six points at 125 and Columbia giving them back at 141, meaning the only match contestedi n the first three weights was top-ranked Nahshon Garrett's 18-3 technical fall win over 2014 first-team All-Ivy selection Angelo Amenta at 133. Cornell never trailed in the fual after Mark Grey had his hand raised at 141, as senior Logan David earned a win on Senior Weekend with a 4-3 triumph over Danny Reed at 149 to build the team lead to 14-6. Duke Pickett and Brian Realbuto were dominant in decision wins at 165 and 174 over strong Lion opponents, and Scott wrapped up the win by overcoming a 3-0 deficit thanks to a reversal, an escape, a third period takedown and a stalling call to earn the 6-3 victory. Garrett had his hand raised for the 137th time in a Cornell singlet, matching four-time NCAA champion Kyle Dake for fourth on the school's all-time list. It was also his 84th victory with bonus points attached, matching two-time NCAA champ Travis Lee for third on Cornell's career list. He improved him win streak to 26 and ran his record to 25-0. The Big Red sat starters Dalton Macri (125), Joey Galasso (149), Dylan Palacio (157), Gabe Dean (184) and Jeramy Sweaney (285) for reasons from illness to giving a senior a last shot at competing in a home dual. David took advantage of his final opportunity at home with the win over Reed, defending the Columbia wrestler to the final whistle to avoid a takedown that would have put him behind on the final scorecard. Columbia earned wins at 125 for Britain Carter (forfeit), 157 behind Markus Scheider, 184 with Mike Fetchet and 285 with Garrett Ryan, all coming by decision against Cornell reserves. The Big Red will welcome No. 4 Oklahoma State to Newman Arena on Sunday, Feb. 7 at 1 p.m. in a match that will be simulcast on the Ivy League Digital Network and ESPN3. The dual will serve as the Hosicare Challenge Match, Senior Day and as Cornell's Hall of Distinguished Wrestlers ceremony.

Nick Kee followed Przybysz's win with a 12-2 major decision over Sean Mappes. With the win, Kee improved his unblemished dual record to 13-0. With App State leading 19-7, The Mocs battled back with two-straight major decision wins at 184 pounds and 197 pounds for eight team points. Taylor Jackson fell to John Lampe, 13-5, at 184 pounds followed by Scottie Boykin topping Randall Diabe, 13-2. No. 6 Denzel Dejournette took the mat against No. 11 Jared Johnson with a chance to seal App's first win over the Mocs since 2012. Dejournette controlled the match all the way through and shut out Johnson, 6-0. The loss was Chattanooga's first Southern Conference loss since the Apps knocked them off in 2012. With the win, App State set itself up for a chance at a share of the Southern Conference regular season title when VMI comes to Boone on Thursday. Match time is set for 6:30 p.m. at Varsity Gym. The following night, the Apps will welcome Missouri to Varsity Gym on Senior night. Friday's match is also set to start at 6:30 p.m. Results: 125: Vito Pasone (ASU) – Fall 2:26 - Alonzo Allen (UTC) – ASU 6-0 133: Irvin Enriquez (ASU) – Dec. 6-0 - Cody Minnick (UTC) – ASU 9-0 141: Mike Longo (ASU) – Dec. 5-2 - Michael Pongracz (UTC) – ASU 12-0 149: Chase Zemenak (UTC) – MD 15-3 - Matthew Zovistoski (ASU) – ASU 12-4 157: Kamaal Shakur (UTC) – Dec. 10-4 - David Peters-Logue (ASU) – ASU 12-7 165: Forrest Przybysz (ASU) – Dec. 10-4 - Dominic Lampe (UTC) – ASU 15-7 174: Nick Kee (ASU) – MD 12-2 - Sean Mappes (UTC) – ASU 19-7 184: John Lampe (UTC) – MD 13-5 - Taylor Jackson (ASU) – ASU 19-11 197: Scottie Boykin (UTC) – MD 13-2 - Randall Diabe (ASU) – ASU 19-15 285: No. 6 Denzel Dejournette (ASU) – Dec. 6-0 – No. 11 Jared Johnson (UTC) – ASU 22-15

San Luis Obispo, Calif. -- The Oregon State wrestling team won 7 of 10 matches and defeated Cal Poly 31-12 in a Pacific-12 Conference dual on Friday night to stretch its winning streak to three matches in a row. The Beavers (8-5, 2-1 Pac-12) won the first five matches to build an insurmountable 21-0 lead. A major decision by redshirt freshman Corey Griego at 184 and a pin by redshirt sophomore heavyweight Amarveer Dhesi clinched the match. Sophomore Ronnie Bresser (125) won by technical fall and redshirt junior Joey Delgado (149) won by major decision to also earn bonus points. It was the second major decision of the road trip for Delgado, who also earned extra points in the 21-13 win at Stanford on Thursday. Redshirt sophomore Abraham Rodriguez (157), redshirt sophomore Jack Hathaway (141) and redshirt junior Joey Palmer (133) were OSU's other winners. Rodriguez blanked his opponent 4-0; Palmer won by forfeit. The Beavers conclude the road trip on Saturday with a 5 p.m. Pac-12 dual against CSU Bakersfield at Centennial High School in Bakersfield. It is their final road match of the regular season. OSU's next home dual is Feb. 11 against Oklahoma. The Beavers host Air Force on Feb. 14, then conclude the regular season with the Feb. 21 Border War against Boise State, also at Gill Coliseum.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- With Wisconsin wrestling's dual tied up at 15-15 against No. 12 Rutgers, it all came down to one match at 125 pounds where all eyes were on Wisconsin's Johnny Jimenez as he took on No. 20 Sean McCabe in front of a hostile crowd at the RAC. Jimenez, who entered the match without a win over a ranked opponent this year, ultimately took the edge at the top of the third period with an escape and immediate takedown. With the sophomore's 7-4 victory, the Badgers clinched the 18-15 upset over the No. 12-ranked Scarlet Knights on the road. Wisconsin ended an undefeated six-match home winning streak for Rutgers and extended their own advantage in the series history to 3-0. "Tonight our guys came out and got the job done," head coach Barry Davis said. "We're building momentum right now. We had a good meet with Illinois and moved forward from there. You do what you have to do to win in this league. I took Johnny (Jimenez) back to the locker room and got him relaxed and got him out of that atmosphere and he finished the job for us." No. 7 Ryan Taylor started the dual out with a bang in a ranked matchup against No. 17 Anthony Giraldo at 133 pounds. Giraldo scored first but Taylor used two escapes to tie it up 2-2 after two periods. Taylor started the third period out by gaining two back points but allowed Giraldo to escape. Taylor was called for a stalling point to knot the score 4-4. With Giraldo holding the riding time advantage, Taylor had less than 10 seconds to pull out a big move. And that was exactly what he did. With just six seconds on the clock, Taylor used a big turn to throw Giraldo on his back and pinned the Scarlet Knight to give Wisconsin a strong start with a 6-0 lead. Gabriel Grahek suffered a 6-1 loss to No. 6 Anthony Ashnault to bring the Scarlet Knights within three in the dual. At 149 pounds, a controversial call on a last second takedown at the end of the second period paved the way for Andrew Crone's comeback in the third. Rutgers' Tyson Dippery held a 3-0 advantage headed into the third period after his takedown at the end of the second period was upheld by the officials but that didn't stop Crone. Crone exploded onto the mat in the third period, picking up a reversal and two nearfall points at the 20-second mark. Crone sealed the 5-4 decision with a riding time point, keeping the early lead in Wisconsin's favor, 9-3. No. 17 Richie Lewis edged UW's T.J. Ruschell at 157 pounds in a tight 3-2 match despite Ruschell nearly being awarded a takedown in the last few seconds of the match. In one of the most highly anticipated matches of the evening, No. 3 Isaac Jordan took on No. 8 Anthony Perrotti at 165 pounds in an All-American rematch of the 2014 NCAA seventh-place match where Jordan came out on top with a 2-0 decision. Jordan came across with a pancake in the first period but was denied the back points after. It was a familiar feeling as Jordan used the same strategy he had in 2014, using an escape and riding time point to pull of the win in a rematch that was two years in the making. The win marked Jordan's fourth shutout of the season and fourth triumph over a ranked opponent this season. He now holds a 17-0 record on the season and extended an 18-match winning streak dating back to last season. The Badgers had a 12-6 lead at intermission, just their third halftime lead all season. Ricky Robertson (174 pounds) used a quick reversal to tie the bout at 2-2 with Phillip Bukuckas in the third period. Bukuckas immediately escaped to keep his riding time intact. Robertson had a hard attack at the end to take down Bukuckas and erase the Scarlet Knight's riding time. Robertson followed in suit to his teammates' earlier performances and stole away the end of the match, finishing with a 4-3 decision to push Wisconsin to a 15-6 lead. Rutgers took the next three matches in a row and collected nine-straight points to tie the dual at 15-15 heading into the 125-pound match. Jimenez had a 2-0 advantage until McCabe tied the bout with a reversal at the end of the second period. Jimenez's offense came out firing in the third period as he used an escape and takedown to put the match away and complete Wisconsin's first conference win of the season. "We have to keep doing what we're doing and keep moving forward because this is behind us now and now we get ready for Sunday," Davis said. The Badgers return to the UW Field House for a Border Battle matchup against Minnesota at noon.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- Central Michigan wrestling coach Tom Borrelli often expresses the importance of winning the state of Michigan when evaluating his team's success. The No. 23-ranked Chippewas accomplished two-thirds of that goal Friday evening, defeating Eastern Michigan, 22-12, in a Mid-American Conference dual at McGuirk Arena. CMU improves to 7-4 overall with the win with a 4-1 mark in the league. Eastern slips to 7-7, 2-5. "I'm pretty happy overall, the matches weren't exactly the way we wanted them," Borrelli said. "We'd like to separate ourselves a little more from our competition and expand on some scores." CMU split its in-state Big Ten rivalries, defeating Michigan State 33-0 on Dec. 6, and falling to No .8 Michigan, 22-12, a week ago. "I really think coach Bolyard is doing a nice job with his team," Borrelli in reference to EMU's David Bolyard, a former All-American at CMU. "They were real competitive today, we got some close calls that kind of determined a couple matches and we were fortunate that those went our way." The Chippewas were able to hold off the Eagles despite forfeiting the 125-pound weight class, with sophomore Brent Fleetwood nursing an injury. "If we we're playing basketball and we only had for guys on the court and they had five it would be pretty hard for us to win," Borrelli said. "Today we won a dual meet with nine guys and they had 10, you have to feel good about that." The match started at 184 pounds where CMU sophomore Jordan Ellingwood posted a 10-2 major decision. "I said to our guys before the duel meet started that the first three matches would be real important," Borrelli said. "We felt like we needed a good start from Jordan and he did that for us getting the major." Senior Jackson Lewis (197) suffered a tough 5-3 sudden-victory loss to Anthony Abro, the lone wrestler in Eastern's lineup who is ranked nationally (18th). "Jackson has been knocking at the door for about two, three years now," said Borrelli. " He's right there, he just hasn't broken through yet, a little bit of it is technique, a little is has to do with composure, but I think more of it is just him believing in himself that he can win those matches." The Chippewas found themselves down 12-4 after Newton Smerchek fell, 3-1 at heavyweight and the Eagles claimed the forfeit victory at 125. The Chippewas won the remaining six matches to pull off the win. Corey Keener (133), No.14 Zach Horan (141), No.19 Justin Oliver, No.14 Luke Smith (157), Jordan Atienza (165) and No.10 Mike Ottinger (174) all claimed decisions. Smith, a senior, won his match over Devan Marry, 8-3, and improved to 24-5 on the season. "Coach has been pushing me to be offensive and open up a little more," Smith said. "I tried to do that, I didn't score on every attack that I would've liked to, but I think I opened up a little more than usual which is a good change of pace for me." The Chippewas are back in action on Sunday at 2 p.m. as they host Buffalo (8-7, 1-4) in a MAC dual in McGuirk. Results: 125 pounds: Armando Torres (EMU) won by forfeit 133: Corey Keener (CMU) dec.

STILLWATER -- Oklahoma State's fourth-ranked wrestling team defeated No. 7 Oklahoma for the second time this season with a 26-11 win in Gallagher-Iba Arena in front of almost 7,000 fans. "You like the outcome of the score, but there were several matches throughout the night that you just do not want to see at this time of the year," head coach John Smith said. "I give OU credit. They are a competitive team that wrestles hard and well. There were four or five guys who really grinded through their matches, and because of them we got bonus points. Those really made the difference in the lopsided score and those are the things you like to see." Bonus points at 141, 149, 165 and 184 pounds lifted the Pokes (9-2; 6-0 Big 12) over the Sooners after suffering losses at 125 and 133 pounds. No. 1 Dean Heil cut the Sooners' lead to 8-5 after a technical fall at the end of regulation, putting up 16 points against Noah Teaney at 141 pounds. "They way you have to look at it is that good guys don't let stuff like [being down 8-0] bother them," Heil said. "As an individual, you have to go out and get the job done whether you've lost two or you've lost nine in a row and you're that last match. No matter what, you have to set yourself apart and go perform the way you want to perform and down two matches, 8-0, I went out there and did what I wanted to do and helped the team out in the long run." At 149 pounds, Anthony Collica defeated Davion Jeffries with a dominant 16-6 decision that included five takedowns. More bonus points came at 165, as expected. Two-time NCAA champion Alex Dieringer defeated 12th-ranked Clark Glass in an exciting 16-3 major decision. Dieringer improves to 69 wins in his unbeaten streak. Nolan Boyd gave the Cowboys the final bonus points of the night at 184 pounds to remedy an unexpected loss at 174 pounds. Boyd took on Andrew Dixon and earned three takedowns en route to a 15-2 win. Sixth-ranked Joe Smith made his Bedlam debut, facing Shayne Tucker at 157 pounds. The Cowboy scored just two points in the first period but kicked it up in the second and third periods, collectively picking up nine more points. "It was really fun. The student section and the crowd were awesome," Smith said. "I don't think we've had a crowd like this in a long time and I was really anxious to get out here and wrestle. It shell-shocked me when I got out here a little bit and felt it in my arms and legs a bit. I'm still getting used to the one-hour weigh-in, but I think come nationals we'll all come around." At 197 pounds, Preston Weigel grinded out a tough 4-3 match against Brad Johnson to seal the dual win. The bout was tied 3-3 heading into the final period with the Sooner on bottom. A solid third-period ride gave Weigel riding time advantage and the win. "That's just going to help me succeed in future by getting these wins," Weigel said. "That's two wins back-to-back here and it's a good start, but I'm not satisfied with just this. I've got a lot more work to do." Heavyweight Austin Marsden closed out the dual with his 19th win of the season. Marsden, ranked No. 5, defeated No. 16 Ross Larson in a close 2-1 match. The Cowboys will travel to Ithaca, N.Y., on Sunday to wrestle No. 15 Cornell at 12 p.m. CT. Results: 125: No. 10 Ryan Millhof (OU) dec. No. 5 Eddie Klimara (OSU), 5-3 133: No. 4 Cody Brewer (OU) TF No. 18 Gary Wayne Harding (OSU), 20-4; 3:55 141: No. 1 Dean Heil (OSU) TF Noah Teaney (OU), 16-1; 7:00 149: No. 13 Anthony Collica (OSU) MD Davion Jeffries (OU), 16-6 157: No. 6 Joe Smith (OSU) dec.

DeKALB, Ill. -- No. 19 Kent State (12-3, 6-1 MAC) extended its winning streak to six with a 21-12 victory over Northern Illinois Friday night at the Convocation Center. The Golden Flashes trailed 6-3 before winning 5-of-6 bouts from 149 to 197. Senior Mack McGuire (Upper St. Clair, Pa.) got the Flashes on the board with a 4-2 victory over Austin Eicher. McGuire's single leg shot for a takedown in the first gave him a lead he would not relinquish. The night's turning point came at 149 and 157 when Kent State got back-to-back bonus-point wins from seniors Mike DePalma (Jeannette, Pa.) and Ian Miller (Oak Harbor, Ohio). In a 9-1 major decision over Gabe Morse, DePalma jumped out to a 6-0 first period lead with a takedown and four-point turn. "Those bonus point victories can help our upperweights stay a little more comfortable," Head Coach Jim Andrassy said. Miller turned an inside trip into a bear hug for a four-point move late in the first period on the way to an 18-3 tech fall over Austin Culton. He then worked a two-on-one tilt in the second and scored three takedowns in the final 30 seconds to clinch the tech fall. "Ian's consistent," Head Coach Jim Andrassy said. "I don't think he's been taken down this year and I don't think he's been in a bad position all year." The Flashes' 12-6 lead was extended to 15-6 with Tyler Buckwalter's 1-0 win over Andrew Morse. Buckwalter rode out Morse for the entire second period. Morse repaid the favor in the third but was hit with two stalling calls in the period for hanging on to Buckwalter's ankle. "Once Tyler had that lead, he didn't need to force anything," Andrassy said. Senior Cole Baxter (Butler, Pa.) controlled his entire match in an 8-3 win over Quinton Rosser. Baxter worked an inside single leg shot to a double three different times for takedowns. In the feature match of the night, redshirt freshman Kyle Conel (Ashtabula, Ohio) extended his winning streak to 12 with a 9-5 decision over Shawn Scott. Conel used a double leg shot to a bear hug for his first takedown in the second period. Conel then appeared to be in trouble when Scott sunk in underhooks on both sides, but Conel turned it into a six-point throw. "It was a whizzer whip, which is really hard to do," Andrassy said of the big move. "That win should secure the second seed in the MAC tournament for him." Kent State will get back on the road Saturday for their final MAC road test of the year at Northern Iowa. "If we can win these last three duals, I think we can move up even higher in the rankings," Andrassy said.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- When Dane Pestano stepped onto the mat for the final match of the evening, No. 16 Iowa State (9-5, 1-2 Big 12) trailed Northern Iowa (3-8, 2-4 MAC) 16-15. With his 8-2 dec. over UNI's Drew Foster, the Cyclones came away victorious in West Gym, 18-16. With the addition of Patrick Downey, Marcus Harrington bumping up to heavyweight, Nathan Boston continuing to man the 141-pound slot and Dante Rodriguez filling in the hole at 149-pound left by sidelined Gabe Moreno, Kevin Jackson's line-up had a much different look in Cedar Falls than it has all year. Iowa State vs. Northern Iowa At the intermission, the Cyclones led 12-6 following wins from Patrick Downey, Earl Hall and Nathan Boston. Making his debut for the Cardinal and Gold, Downey faced Cody Krumeiede of Northern Iowa. Downey was dominant in this match up. He scored on two takedowns and was great on defense. He didn't yield a takedown and went on to win the matchup, 5-2. Marcus Harrington bumped up to heavyweight to face UNI's Blaize Cabell. It was the Panther who came away with the 9-4 decision. Kyle Larson was pitted against No. 9 Dylan Peters at 125 pounds. Larson fought hard and was within one score at the final buzzer, but fell short in his efforts of an upset bid, 9-7. No. 8 Hall brought the Cyclone faithful to their feet in his matchup at 133 pounds. Leading 2-0 in the second period, Hall was in the bottom position. After struggling to climb to his feet, he was able to reverse the position. He locked up a cradle on No. 12 Josh Alber and secured the fall in 4:17. At 141-pounds, Boston picked up his first dual win of the season and of his career. He too did not give up a takedown on the evening, scoring two of his own to defeat the Panthers' Trevor Jauch by 5-0 decision. Following the intermission, the Cyclones dropped the next three matches to the Panthers. Adam Perrin knocked off Dante Rodriguez, 14-4, Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer fell to Bryce Steiert by 12-6 dec. and No. 10 Tanner Weatherman dropped a 3-1 dec. in sudden-victory to No. 19 Cooper Moore. Heading to the 174-match, Iowa State trailed 16-12. Lelund Weatherspoon narrowed that margain with a 6-2 dec. over Kyle Lux. Weatherspoon scored on two takedowns, an escape and rode hard for 1:13 to grab a victory. The 184-pound bout decided the dual. It was Dane Pestano vs. Drew Foster in the final matchup of the night. The redshirt sophomore out of Waimanalo, Hawaii, scored on three takedowns and dominated in the top position. With 1:31 of riding-time, Pestano downed Foster, 8-2. Up Next…
 Iowa State returns home for their final competition in Hilton Coliseum for the season.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The second-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team clinched at least a share of the Big Ten regular season championship with a 45-0 win over No. 20 Indiana on Friday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa has won 21 consecutive conference duals, and won or shared eight of the last nine Big Ten regular season titles. Four seniors led the Hawkeyes in an event appropriately named "Senior Night." Seniors Brody Grothus, Edwin Cooper, Jr., Patrick Rhoads and Nathan Burak all earned wins to help Iowa finish the conference season 9-0 for the second straight year. Grothus started the celebration with a pin at 141. Cooper won by major decision at 157. Rhoads scored a takedown in the final seconds to win, 4-2, at 165, and Burak's match was terminated after the second period with a 23-6 technical fall at 197. "Just a good night for our seniors," Brands said. "Its senior night, it may not be the last home dual but it's a good night for the seniors. Four of our six seniors got to wrestle, and the other two (Jake Kadel, Kris Klapprodt) are great ambassadors for what we're about." Grothus was leading 2-1 in the final minute of the first period when he tossed Tommy Cash to his back to record a fall in 2:30. Grothus was wrestling at Carver-Hawkeye Arena for the 15th time, but Friday's pin was his first in front of the home crowd. "I am glad that I finally got one. It was worth the wait and we will have a lot of other chances ahead of us to get more," Grothus said. Cooper, Jr. won his fourth straight at home. He scored three takedowns, was awarded four nearfall points, and totaled 5:16 riding time to defeat Jake Danishek, 13-1. "Coach told me to pick up the intensity from the start and be a little more aggressive while scoring more points each period," Cooper said. "That's what I demonstrated out their tonight. I feel like I could have gave a little more but I did put up a lot of points, which is a great feeling." Rhoads scored the winning takedown with two seconds remaining to defeat Bryce Martin, 4-2, and Burak scored 15 points in the second period to earn his team-best fourth technical fall. "Bonus points are going to be big in the postseason," Burak said. "I think we won every match tonight, which is pretty dominating. This isn't our end goal but it's nice to get the win on senior night." The Hawkeyes scored bonus points in seven matches to record the largest margin of victory in series history. Cory Clark opened the dual with a win by forfeit at 133. Sammy Brooks recorded a 23-8 technical fall at 184. Sam Stoll recorded his team-best eighth pin of the season at 285, and Thomas Gilman closed the dual with a 12-4 major decision over No. 19 Elijah Oliver at 125. The Hawkeyes also got a decision from Brandon Sorensen at 149, and No. 7 Alex Meyer rallied from a 6-2 deficit to defeat No. 11 Nate Jackson, 8-7, at 174. Meyer's takedown in the final minute of the third period gave him a lead for the first time, and he finished the match with a 57-second ride that helped him remain undefeated in 14 career matches at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

An upset of a former national champion followed by a pin that took just 30 seconds set up No. 17 Minnesota to pick up its first road victory of the season, 22-20, over Northwestern on Friday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena. The win puts Minnesota over .500 again this season (8-7, 4-3) and extends the program's longest active winning streak over a Big Ten opponent to 14. In the night's most-anticipated match - the only ranked-versus-ranked bout on Friday's card - No. 16 Jake Short pulled off a thrilling comeback at 149 pounds to knock off No. 4 Jason Tsirtsis, the 2014 NCAA champ. Tsirtsis led the match 3-0 after the second period, but Short earned a pair of takedowns in the match's final 90 seconds, including a match-clinching finish in the waning seconds of the final period that came with a pair of back points to complete the 7-4 upset. It was Short's fourth win against a ranked opponent this season, tied for second-most on the team, and his first win in three tries against Tsirtsis. "Like a lot of our matches, there were a lot of ups and downs," said head coach J Robinson. "Tonight, Short's match was a big motivator. He found a way to win and that's what we keep preaching. You have to focus on those positive things and keep the other guys going in the right direction." Immediately follow Short's win, 157-pounder Brandon Kingsley locked in a cradle against Anthony Petrone in the opening seconds of their match, taking Petrone to his back and pinning his shoulder blades to the mat in just 30 seconds. The quick finish was a stark contrast to the previous match's last-second heroics, but equally impactful on the night's final score. The fall was Kingsley's fifth this season. All five pins have come in the first 100 seconds of matches, with four of them taking 48 seconds or fewer. Friday's was his second-fastest finish, four seconds behind his pin of Elliott Raiford (Appalachian State) at the Southern Scuffle. The wins from Short and Kingsley came at a critical time for Minnesota, which began the dual by dropping the first two matches and falling into an 8-0 hole. Northwestern took a 5-4 decision at 125 pounds when Garrison White added the riding time point over Steve Polakowski, then added a five points when No. 20 Dominick Malone defeated Ben Morgan by technical fall, 16-1. No. 7 Tommy Thorn narrowly missed a major decision at 141 pounds after a late reversal by Jameson Oster, but his 10-3 decision got the Gophers on the board and set the stage for Short and Kingsley to score the next nine points in the dual and catapult the Gophers into the lead, 12-8, at halftime. Following the break, the teams traded the lead four times in the night's final five matches. That began when Northwestern scored a fall in the second period at 165 pounds to recapture the lead. With the Gophers trailing by one, Nick Wanzek put together a shutout performance against Mitch Sliga, scoring both of the match's takedowns to earn a 6-0 decision and put the Gophers back on top, 15-14. Another fall for Northwestern, this coming in the first period at 184, gave the Wildcats a five-point lead with two matches remaining, matches that featured a pair of Gophers with two of the three best Big Ten records on the roster - No. 3 Brett Pfarr and No. 9 Michael Kroells. Pfarr pulled the Gophers to within two points with a 9-4 decision over Jacob Berkowitz. The win pushed Pfarr's team-high win total to 28 and maintained his perfect record in both duals (15-0) and in the Big Ten (7-0). With the score 20-18, the winner of the heavyweight bout between Kroells and Conan Jennings would win the dual for his team. As he has often this season, Kroells controlled the match early and racked up takedowns late, adding three in the third period to blow open his match and finish off an 11-2 major decision. The Gophers return to action later this weekend when they wrestle a Super Bowl Sunday matinee against the Wisconsin Badgers at 12 p.m. in Madison, Wis. Sunday's contest will be streamed live on BTN Plus, with mat-side updates available throughout on Gopher Wrestling Twitter. GopherSports.com is your home for Gopher Wrestling news.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The No. 8-ranked University of Michigan team used an explosive late surge, earning bonus points in each of the final four bouts, to cruise to a 33-6 win against Maryland on Friday evening (Feb. 5) at the Terps' Xfinity Center Pavilion. The Wolverines claimed eight individual wins, bouncing back from their first Big Ten loss to improve to 6-1 in conference competition. Junior/sophomore Aaron Calderon stole the show in his dual-meet debut, pinning Maryland's Josh Snook at the 6:50 mark in the 174-pound contest. Calderon, who wrestled at 157 pounds just two weeks ago at the Alma Open, rallied from a late deficit with two third-period takedowns, including a four-point single in the final 30 seconds, to take a late 8-6 lead. Snook kept scrambling, and while going for a reversal in the waning seconds -- with Calderon still controlling a leg -- he rolled up on his back to first give up a near-fall count then the pin. The Wolverines' upperweight captains maintained the momentum as junior Domenic Abounader, graduate student Max Huntley and junior Adam Coon all earned bonus points to remain unbeaten in dual competition this season. Abounader, ranked fourth in the latest InterMat poll, used a big third period to defeat Jaron Smith, 10-2, at 184 pounds. He scored on a first-period single leg and second-period reversal, but after struggling to turn Smith, he went to his leg attacks to secure bonus, finishing on two more takedowns to widen the gap. Needing one more for the major, Abounader tried to cut Smith but the Terp wrestler would not stand, instead sacrificing a stall point to give Abounader the major-decision margin after riding time. He improved to 12-0 in duals. Huntley, ranked sixth nationally, made quick work of Sean Twigg at 197 pounds, cruising to a 17-0 technical fall in just 4:07. He converted a quick single leg before racking up 14 back points on four separate tilts in the first and second periods. Like Abounader, he is 12-0 in duals this season. Coon, ranked fourth at heavyweight, ended the bout with a first-period pin against Dawson Peck in the final match -- his fourth pin of the season and fifth straight bonus win. After just missing on a pair of early single-leg attacks, Coon converted on his third attempt, getting Peck in a seatbeat bodylock and throwing him down straight to his back to get the fall at the 2:13 mark. Coon is 13-0 on the season. Senior/junior Conor Youtsey opened the dual with a 10-5 decision against Michael Beck at 125 pounds, just missing out on bonus points of his own after giving up a late takedown. Youtsey scored on four takedowns, including two in the third period with the major decision in mind, and accumulated 2:04 in riding-time advantage. Maryland earned back-to-back wins at 133 and 141 pounds -- the latter in overtime -- by similar 3-1 margins, before the Wolverines surged ahead with three straight decisions. Sophomore Alec Pantaleo, ranked sixth nationally, evened the dual score with a 5-1 decision against Wade Hodges at 149 pounds. Pantaleo scored the bulk of his points on a four-point feet-to-back takedown late in the first period. Junior Brian Murphy, ranked ninth nationally, used riding time to defeat Lou Mascola, 6-5, at 157 pounds. Murphy controlled the majority of the bout after takedowns in the first and second periods, but a Mascola escape and takedown late in the latter frame narrowed the score significantly. The Terp added another escape early in the second, but neither wrestler scored again and Murphy's 1:13 riding time proved the difference. Sophomore Garrett Sutton kicked off a strong second half of the dual for the Wolverines with a 5-2 decision against Brendan Burnham at 165 pounds, using a first-period double leg and a third-period feet-to-back single to control throughout. Sutton just missed on more, not getting back points on the late takedown and finishing with 59 seconds riding time. Results: 125 -- Conor Youtsey (U-M) dec .

NORFOLK, Va. -- The Old Dominion wrestling team (5-9, 0-4 MAC) defeated the Navy Midshipmen (9-1, 3-1 EIWA) 19-18 on criteria by virtue of most matches won at the Ted Constant Center Friday night before 1162 fans on Military Appreciation Night. With the dual meet on the line, true freshman and local Chesapeake product Seldon Wright rose to the occasion, taking down Michael Coleman, 7-3, to seal the win for the Monarchs. Beginning at 174, Brooks Climmons got ODU off to a strong start with a commanding 6-1 decision over Anthony Cable. Navy's No. 15 Mathew Miller responded in a big way for the Midshipmen, pinning ODU's No. 5 Jack Dechow in the first period. Dechow secured the leg of Miller on a high single, but Miller used a lateral drop from the single to pick up the first period fall. NCAA pin leader Michael Woulfe extended Navy's dual meet lead to 10-3 with a 12-3 major decision over ODU freshman Kaleab Fetahi at 197. Austin Coburn bumped up to 285 and secured a win for the Monarchs for the second consecutive match. The redshirt senior scored a takedown and two nearfall points in a flury in the first 30 seconds to grab a 6-4 win over Nick Mabry. Brandon Jeske followed up with a 6-5 decision over Brant Leadbeter at 125. It was all Navy at 133, as Zack Davis earned a 17-2 tech. fall over ODU's Josh Markham in the waning seconds of the bout. All-Americans Chris Mecate and Alexander Richardson racked up six more points for Old Dominion, as No. 13 Mecate downed Nicholas Gil, 3-1, at 141, and No. 8 Alexander Richardson beat Corey Wilding, 5-3, at 149, to tie the dual meet at 15 apiece. Drew Daniels gave Navy an 18-15 lead after 157, as the sophomore outlasted Devin Geoghegan, 5-2, but Wright's 7-3 match-winner at 165 catapulted the Monarchs ahead of the Midshipmen, 19-18 on criteria, snapping ODU's five-match losing streak. ODU heads to Athens, Ohio next to battle the No. 23 Ohio Bobcats on Sunday, Feb. 7 at noon. Results: 174: Brooks Climmons (ODU) dec.
