LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. -- In two matches in two cities in two states the Broncs picked up two victories on Sunday. Rider won 16 of 20 bouts, at Penn in the afternoon and at home against George Mason in the evening. "I've had two wins in a day before but I don't honestly think I've ever had two wins in one day in two different cities," said Rider head coach Gary Taylor, who now has 426 career wins at Rider, fifth most ever on the Division I level of the NCAA, second among active Division I coaches. For Rider (9-8, 4-2 EWL) sophomore heavyweight Mauro Correnti (Delran, N.J./Holy Cross), senior 165 Conor Brennan (Brick, NJ/Brick Twp.), junior 197 Ryan Wolfe (New Castle, Del./Caravel), senior 133 Robert Deutsch (Cherry Hill, NJ/Eastern Regional) and sophomore B.J. Clagon (Toms River, NJ/Toms River South) all won twice Sunday. "The kids wrestled well today," Taylor said. "They responded to a tough day. In both matches they were aggressive." Correnti, in his first season competing for the Broncs, won both of his bouts in overtime. "Mauro is doing a really nice job," Taylor said, "in terms of positon and being patient. He wrestled well throughout the entire matches, including the overtimes. They were hard-fought matches against two good wrestlers so I am very pleased with his performance today. I thought he did a great job." "That was tough today, with two long matches with two tough kids with travel in between," said Correnti, who improved to 13-8, 10-4 in duals. "Preparing for them was different. They've come in all shapes and sizes this year. I'm about average size for a heavyweight and I like the fact that the size of my opponents vary. I don't get stuck with just one style. I get to change it up a little bit. That works out great." Brennan, the defending EWL champion, improved to 21-2 on the season, including 3-0 since returning from an injury. Wolfe, the defending EWL Champion at 174, won by major decision and by tech fall Sunday to improve to 21-8 and finished 6-0 in EWL duals at 197. Deutsch, the defending EWL champion, improved to 5-0 in EWL duals this year. Against Penn (3-3) at the Palestra Clagon defeated No. 14 C. J. Cobb 3-1. "That's the kid B.J. beat last year to place at Nationals," Taylor said. Clagon went on to finish fifth at the NCAAs. Clagon began this season by defeating All-American Lenny Richardson of ODU in the NWCA All Star Classic. "Cobb is the best wrestler B.J. has beaten since the all-star match," Taylor said. "That's a good sign, that he's coming around and heading in the right direction." Senior 125 Zach Valcarce (Willas, NJ/Lower Cape May) won to give Rider a 13-12 lead. Junior Paul Kirchner (Somerville, NJ/Somerville) won his only bout of the day. "The Penn match was one of the best overall team efforts I've seen for a long time," Taylor said. "That was good to see." Against Mason (6-9, 1-3 EWL) in a conference match at Rider, sophomore Chad Walsh (Cherry Hill, NJ/Camden Catholic) won by fall in 3:40 to give Rider a 6-0 lead. The defending EWL Champion, Walsh finishes 6-0 in EWL duals this year. Sophomore Wayne Stinson (Wrightstown, NJ/Northern Burlington Regional) won in overtime. Freshman Michale Fagg-Daves (Somerset, NJ/Franklin) won to give Rider a 15-0 lead. Senior Jimmy Morris (Northport, NY/St. Anthony's) won his only match of the day. Rider competes at Drexel February 6. "Drexel is a tough team with good balance," Taylor said. Rider 22, Penn 12 157 May Bethea-P dec. #15 Chad Walsh-R 7-3 0-3 165 #7 Conor Brennan-R dec.

Corvallis, Ore. -- The Oregon State wrestling team earned a split on the weekend by dominating Northern Colorado 35-6 on Sunday before a Gill Coliseum crowd of 848. The Beavers (6-5, 0-1 Pac-12) bounced back from Friday's loss at Arizona State in impressive fashion against the Bears (3-5), who downed host Boise State on Friday. OSU won 8 of 10 matches, got pins from Joey Palmer (133) and Amarveer Dhesi (hwt.) and earned 11 bonus points. OSU was aggressive early, led 14-0 after three matches and never looked back in recording it's a lopsided win over the Bears for the second year in a row. The Beavers prevailed 40-6 in Greeley last year, and they now lead the all-time series 18-7. “[Ronnie] Bresser came out and got a tech fall, Joey Palmer [133] got a pin and Jack Hathaway [141] got behind but found a way to come back and win his match and it kind of sparked us,” OSU coach Jim Zalesky said, alluding to the five bonus points in the first three weight classes. “Northern Colorado fought hard. They beat Boise State the other night. They were in a lot of matches, but we took them out of some matches and that's what you have to do.” Joey Delgado (149), Seth Thomas (165), Tyler Chay (174) and Corey Griego (184) also won their matches. Griego earned a technical fall and Chay won by major decision. Thomas's 16-10 win over Keilan Torres had the crowd especially pumped up. He trailed 8-1 in the first period before rallying for his second win of the weekend and his fifth in a row overall. “That made the crowd excited, but from a coaching standpoint you don't want him to get behind 8-1 and expect him to come back all the time,” Zalesky said. “But it's good to know he can come back.” It was the second straight home match in which Thomas, a senior who was the Pac-12 runner-up last season, won in comeback fashion. He trailed Wyoming's Chaz Polson 6-0 early on Jan. 16 before recovering and winning by a fall in 5:00. Zalesky described the Beavers as “ready to wrestle” and put their pratfall at Tempe in their rear-view mirror. “We got ourselves ready,” he said. “The other night we didn't and Arizona State just outwrestled us, beat us to the punch. If you get beat to the punch you are going to lose most of the time.” The Beavers begin a busy week of Pacific-12 action on Thursday with a 6:30 p.m. dual at Stanford. Hey face Cal Poly on Friday and UC Riverside on Saturday; both matches begin at 7 p.m. OSU's next home dual is Feb. 11 against Oklahoma, starting at 7 p.m. That match opens a three-dual homestand that concludes the regular season; OSU hosts Air Force at 5 p.m. on Feb. 14 and Boise State in the annual Border War at 11 a.m. Feb. 21.

MADISON, WIS.-- In a match that the Orange and Blue trailed for most of the afternoon, Coach Heffernan's grapplers showed great resolve in fighting back. Trailing 13-8, the Illini swept the final four bouts of match to defeat the Badgers 21-13. Zane Richards notched his 20th straight win to start the season, while Martinez got back on track with his 12th technical fall of the season. The victory improves the Illini to 2-4 in the Big Ten, while the Badgers drop to 0-4. "As a team we were pretty solid but need to keep improving," explained Head Coach Jim Heffernan. "There are still a bunch of things we need to improve on." Johnny Jimenez started the match off for the Badgers with an early take down and a two=point near-fall that had him leading Francis Edelen 4-0. The Badger freshman stretched his lead out in the second period with another near fall, this time holding it for the full four points. In the third period, Jimenez added two more takedowns to his his score to complete his day, defeating Edelen by major decision 13-3. The most intense match of the day came at 133 pounds, where #2 Zane Richards battled 2015 All-American Ryan Taylor. The match was a scramble that went back-and-forth for the full seven minutes, with both grapplers controlling parts of the bout. Richards started off strong with a takedown and escape point to lead 3-1 early on in the second period. Taylor responded with a takedown of his own in the second period to knot the duo at three-a-piece. An exchange of escapes, first by Richards and then by Taylor, held the tie at 4-4 through the match's final seconds. However, the Fighting Illini junior's ability to control Taylor for an extended portion of the bout earned him a riding-time point to overcome Taylor, 5-4. The win was Richards' 20th of the season, and his fifth over a ranked Big Ten opponent. "Zane's looked good all year," said Coach Heffernan. "He's been consistent, he's matured and is making good decisions. That was a very good win against a really good opponent." The Wisconsin Badgers netted their largest lead of the afternoon after consecutive wins at 141 pounds and 149 pounds. Luke Rowh got the Badgers back in the win column with a victory in a defensive struggle against Mousa Jodeh, filling in for injured Brock Ervin. Jodeh battled Rowh tough, allowing only one takedown, but Rowh controlled the match throughout and earned a riding-time point to cement his 4-2 decision. At 149 pounds, Illinois' Kyle Langenderfer stayed close throughout the seven minutes, but Andrew Crone kept him at arm's length. In the end, Crone led wire to wire to claim an 8-6 decision over the Illini's red-shirt sophomore. With the Orange and Blue trailing 10-3 after four bouts, Isaiah Martinez returned to the mat for the first time since having his 54-match winning streak snapped. The second-ranked wrestler at 157 pounds wasted no time in getting back on track with two four-point near falls in the first period, leading T.J. Ruschell 10-0. From there, Martinez tacked on three more takedowns to finish off Ruschell with a 16-1 technical fall. The technical fall pushed his NCAA-leading total out to 12, surpassing his total from last season. After Martinez cut the lead down to two before intermission, #3 Isaac Jordan and #4 Steven Rodrigues battled at 165-pounds with the team lead at stake. Entering the match, a perfect 15-0, Jordan started the bout off with an early takedown. After the duo exchanged escapes, Jordan used a second takedown to stretch the lead out to its largest of the day, 5-1 after five minutes. Although Rodrigues managed another escape to shrink the lead, third-ranked Isaac Jordan proved too tough for the Illini senior this afternoon, winning the bout 5-2 and pushing the Badger lead back out to 13-8. Trailing the Badgers through the first six bouts this afternoon, the Fighting Illini pulled within one of Wisconsin at 174 pounds. Zac Brunson used a takedown and four-point near fall in period one to put Wisconsin's Liegal on his heels. Liegal rebounded in period two, only allowing Brunson an escape during the two minutes but still trailed 7-0. Brunson returned to his offense in the final period, netting six more points, and only conceding two escape points, to finish off Liegal 13-2. Looking to forge ahead of Wisconsin for the first time on the afternoon, #16 Jeff Koepke faced off against Ryan Christensen at 184 pounds. Koepke started the Illini off with a takedown in period one, but after a Christensen escape the duo remained in stalemate through the period's final minutes. Koepke kept the pressure on the Badger with a reversal in period two to lead 4-1. The senior finalized the victory with two more takedowns in period three en route to a 9-3 decision. Looking to put the Badgers away and all, but cement, an Illini victory, Andre Lee got off to a fast start with a takedown of Wisconsin's Eric Peissig in the match's opening minute. After an escape by Peissig, Lee got back to work and took the red-shirt sophomore down to the mat again to lead 4-2 after the opening three minutes. Adding on three more points in the final frame, Lee cemented his first victory of 2016. a7-2 decision. "Andre's good and will continue to figure things out with experience," said Heffernan. "He showed a lot of offense today which is good to see. He needs to be offensive to have success." With a five-point cushion for the Illini entering the heavyweight bout, Brooks Black extinguished any remaining doubt with a victory over opponent Brock Horwath. After deadlock in period one, Black escaped to start period two and then took down Horwath to lead 3-0. Horwath managed two escapes in the final three minutes of action, but couldn't overcome Black's early lead. Brooks Black's 4-2 decision finalized a 21-13 victory for the Illini, and gave Black his 15th win of the season. Up Next: After just two matches in a two-week span, the Orange and Blue will wrestle twice next weekend.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team remained in first place in the Southern Conference race with a 37-9 win at Davidson today. The Mocs won the last eight matches of the dual to improve to 10-3 overall and 5-0 in SoCon action. Chattanooga was without starter Alonzo Allen, who could not make the trip due to an illness. The Wildcats took advantage with a pin at 125 to open the dual. Davidson scored an overtime win at 133 and suddenly had its largest ever lead over Chattanooga in the 24-match history of the rivalry. The Mocs didn't get rattled, thanks to a first-period pin by junior Michael Pongracz at 141. Sophomore Chase Zemenak followed with a major decision at 149 to put UTC on top for good with a 10-9 lead. Freshman Kamaal Shakur scored his team-leading 20th win of the season with a 5-3 decision at 157. Freshman Dominic Lampe then added his fourth pin of the year at 165.

UTC closed out the match with more bonus points, led by junior Scottie Boykin's tech fall at 197. No. 11 Jared Johnson ended the day with a pin at heavyweight. Today's win was the 26th league dual victory in a row for UTC. The Mocs last loss was a 21-17 home defeat against Appalachian State on Feb. 5, 2012. "It was good to have John Lampe back," stated head coach Heath Eslinger. "Sean Mappes looked really good and all-in-all it was a good tune-up for a tough match on Friday." Chattanooga can clinch the SoCon title with a win over ASU on Senior Day on Friday. It will be a tough task for the Mocs against the 25th-ranked Mountaineers who are 9-3 overall and 4-1 in SoCon action. Match time has been moved back one hour to 7:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) in Maclellan Gym.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- The newly debuted trophy for the Rutgers versus Princeton mat rivalry is headed to New Brunswick. The No. 12 Scarlet Knights ousted Princeton, 28-6, Sunday afternoon at Jadwin Gymnasium for their 20th consecutive victory over their in-state rivals. “They've got some really, really talented kids. Let me tell you, this one kept me up at night, no doubt about it,” said head coach Scott Goodale. “I thought they matched up really well with us and we needed to beat some nationally ranked guys to get this done at 28-6.” The dual began at 184 pounds, where Nicholas Gravina (Allendale, N.J.) came out firing in a convincing 7-1 win against No. 19 Abram Ayala. Gravina moves 15-6 with the win. Hayden Hrymack (Point Pleasant, N.J.) fought back to within one point of No. 11 Brett Harner a match later at 197 pounds, but could not recover from an early hole in an 8-4 loss. The decision tied the dual, 3-3, but that was as close as Princeton (4-6, 3-3) would come to the Scarlet Knights (13-3, 3-2). Rutgers won from heavyweight to 165 pounds, mixing in bonus points, tight wins, and dominance. No. 13 Billy Smith (Wantage, N.J.) eased his way to a 10-4 decision at heavyweight before No. 20 Sean McCabe (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) survived a 4-1 decision against Pat D'Arcy at 125 pounds. Both wrestlers maintained their recent winning ways. Smith (19-5) has won five consecutive matches, with McCabe taking his fourth in a row. No. 18 Anthony Giraldo (Guttenberg, N.J.) scored the first win by fall of his young RU career in 3:55 against Trey Aslanian. Giraldo's win got him back in the win column at 14-8 overall. “It was good for him to get out there and score points and get a fall. We needed a fall somewhere,” Goodale said. At 141 pounds, No. 6 Anthony Ashnault (South Plainfield, N.J.) got back to bonus points in a 10-2 major decision against Jordan Laster. A four-point near fall to close the first period helped the Scarlet Knight to the major, which was his team-leading eighth this season. Ashnault is the first Scarlet Knight to reach 20 wins this season at 20-2. Tyson Dippery (Harrisburg, Pa.) battled through a wild match at 149 pounds, ultimately escaping for a 6-5 victory as time winded down. Chris Perez took Dippery (13-8) down with 1:26 remaining in the match to cut Dippery's lead to 5-4. Perez then controlled Dippery to secure riding time, but needed to hold Dippery on the mat until the period ended to force sudden victory. Dippery, battling from bottom with the clock dwindling, flipped to his feet for an escape and fought Perez off until the final horn. “Dippery needed one of those,” Goodale said. “He's got to get himself in that top-20 so he can qualify the weight for the Big Ten Tournament. That match was huge.” No. 17 Richie Lewis (Toms River, N.J.) won his third consecutive match by defeating a tough NCAA qualifying opponent in Adam Krop. Lewis (17-3) was in control from start to finish and got himself a 7-4 win. The final Rutgers win of the day went to No. 8 Anthony Perrotti (Roseland, N.J.) at 165 pounds. With his 9-5 decision against Judd Ziegler, the 2014 All-American improved to 16-2 overall and 14-1 in duals. He's won four-straight. Princeton ended the dual with a 6-3 win from No. 14 Jonathan Schleifer at 174 pounds. Bakuckas (12-9) brought the match to within one but could not get to Schleifer for a takedown before the match ended. With the win Rutgers improved to 41-35-5 against Princeton all-time. The Scarlet Knights return to Big Ten competition next weekend at the Rutgers Athletic Center in a critical stretch.

A technical fall win by sophomore Kyle Pope to open the dual propelled the Cowboy wrestlers past North Dakota State 27-13 on Sunday afternoon in Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse in Fargo, N.D in the Cowboys' final road dual of the season. The Pokes won three of the first four matches of the dual and finished by winning the final three bouts on their way to the win. The Pokes move to 4-6 overall and 2-4 in Big 12 duals with the Bison falling to 2-5 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12. "I felt better about the effort we had today and wins are positives," UW head coach Mark Branch said. "I thought we showed a lot of guts out there today, but I thought we could have wrestled better. When we were in tough situations we found a way to win." Pope earned his second-straight technical fall and third-straight technical fall by a Cowboy at 165 pounds in an 18-1 win over Grant Nehring to open the dual. In his 2:13 of action, Pope recorded three four-point near falls on his way to the win to give the Pokes a 5-0 dual lead. Senior Jace Jensen made the dual 8-0 with a 2-0 decision over Blake Thompson at 174 pounds. He recorded an escape and added a point on riding time in the dual. No. 5 Hayden Zillmer of NDSU downed Benjamin Stroh by major decision at 184 pounds to make the dual 8-4. UW responded with a pair of wins at 197 pounds and 285 pounds to extend the UW lead to 14-4. Junior Brandon Tribble (197 pounds) picked up 3-1 decision over Logan Paxton. Tribble recorded a takedown and an escape to earn the win. Senior Tanner Harms (285 pounds) won a hard fought match in sudden victory over Ben Tyanan by decision, 8-6. Harms earned the win with a pair of reversals to stem the tide of the match. He earned a quick takedown off the whistle in sudden victory to earn the win. The Bison took the match at 125 by forfeit and 133 pounds by decision in sudden victory to trim the Cowboy lead to 14-13. Sophomore Bryce Meredith responded with an 11-3 major decision win over Mitch Bengston at 141 pounds. It was the sixth time this season he has recorded bonus points in a dual. He recorded a takedown with two seconds left to get the extra team point to make the dual 18-13. It also marked the 20th win of the season for Meredith, as he moved to 20-3 on the season. After bonus points from Meredith, junior Cole Mendenhall recorded a pin at 1:20 over Clay Ream. A quick takedown in the match resulted in strategic pin by Mendenhall for his fifth fall of the season. His pin gave UW a 24-13 lead and locked up the win for the Pokes. Junior Archie Colgan finished the dual with a 9-4 decision over Kyle Gilva. Colgan scored five points in the final period with a pair of takedowns and escape on his way to the victory. "We had to look to the team to have someone do something special this afternoon and we got some nice performances," Branch said. "It was nice winning seven matches and really dug deep in a few of those wins, as the guys kept composer and grinded. We still need to wrestle better and we are capable of that." The Cowboys return to action next Saturday with a 7p.m. dual against Northern Colorado in the UniWyo Sports Complex.

Charlottesville, Va. -- The Hokies continued on their in-conference crusade to move to 2-0 in the ACC after a 31-7 victory over the Virginia Cavaliers on Sunday. A fall in 5:43 from Sal Mastriani and four major decisions from Solomon Chishko, David McFadden, Zach Epperly and Austin Gabel helped send the Hokies home with their 11th win over the Cavaliers under head coach Kevin Dresser. A sudden-victory overtime decision from Nick Brascetta kept the momentum up for the second half of the dual. Overall, the Hokies went 8-2 for the dual.

We had mostly good performances today. We were probably a little flat in a couple of weight classes, but there's an obvious difference. Where we're at today, we just have to make sure we keep it consistent all the way through the end of March. Not just here but everywhere, we've got to widen the gap where we can widen the gap, and we have to be ready for some really good teams here in the next couple of weeks.” Hokie Highlights This senior class of Hokie grapplers hasn't lost a dual to the University of Virginia at any point in their career After a tough weekend in the Moss Arts Center, Mastriani dominated both his opponents this weekend, recording a fall tonight and a technical fall on Friday against UVA Walz continues his undefeated season with two wins this weekend · Up next, the Hokies continue their road trip with duals against #16 Pitt and Edinboro Results: 125: No. 3 Joey Dance dec.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Nick Tavanello's 3-1 decision in the 10th and final dual of the afternoon gave No. 9 Ohio State a 20-17 victory at No. 24 Purdue on Sunday. The Buckeyes extended their season-high winning streak to four matches while also improving to 6-1 in the Big Ten. THE SHORT STORY Tied at 17-all, Tavanello put Ohio State is the win column by getting a takedown late in the second period of his match against Tyler Kral and then escaping to start the third. Other Buckeye winners were Nathan Tomasello (125), Micah Jordan (141), Bo Jordan (165) and Kenny Courts (184). Three of Ohio State's five wins were via bonus points, including a Tomasello pin and B. Jordan's major decision against seventh-ranked Chad Welch. TAVANELLO CLINCHES IT For the third time this season, Ohio State's fate in the dual came down to the final bout. And for the third time, the Buckeyes came through. This time it was Tavanello, who broke a 1-1 tie in the second period with a takedown at the 35 second mark. His escape to start the third made the score 3-1, which was also the final score. A redshirt junior, Tavanello is now 17-3 on the year. TOMASELLO IN CONTROL EARLY The dual started at 125 pounds and Nathan Tomasello (15-0) did what he always does – got the Buckeyes off to a fast start. Tomasello controlled the action early and often against Luke Schroeder, taking a 4-1 lead after the first period and then scored two takedowns and two two-point near falls in the second for a 13-3 advantage. Early in the final period, he finished the match off with a pin (5:25), giving Ohio State a 6-0 lead. It was Tomasello's 33rd straight win and 22nd via bonus points. PURDUE WINS AT 133 Johnni DiJulius (13-4) lost a hard-fought 3-1 decision to Luke Welch in which a scramble at the end of the second period appeared the result in DiJulius scoring a go-ahead reversal. Instead, after reviewing the reversal and initial takedown by Welch, DiJulius' points were taken away while the takedown stood. JORDAN WINS NO. 17 Micah Jordan (17-1) got the momentum back in Ohio State's favor with a dominating 14-3 major decision at 141, scoring three takedowns and a two-point near fall in the first period. A redshirt freshman, Jordan is 7-1 in duals, 5-0 in Big Ten action and has 10 bonus point wins. BOILERMAKERS WIN THE NEXT TWO After a technical fall for Purdue at 149, Doug Welch defeated Justin Kresevic (7-9) at 157 lbs., 6-1, thanks to a takedown and four-point near fall in the final minute of regulation. Prior to that, Kresevic racked up 2:00 of riding time. The win gave the Boilermakers an 11-10 lead at intermission. JORDAN PUTS THE BUCKEYES AHEAD In the only match of the afternoon that featured two ranked wresters, No. 2 Bo Jordan (12-0) easily dispatched seventh-ranked Chad Welsh, 13-0, behind a flurry of scoring in the first period. Jordan took Welch down immediately and then added a four-point near fall to lead 6-0 after the first three minutes. He also racked up 2:42 worth of riding time. In the third period, Jordan put the exclamation point on his major decision by scoring a reversal and two-point near fall. COURTS EDGES LYNDE AT 184 An 11-8 upset by Purdue's Jacob Morrissey at 174 tied the dual at 14-14. The momentum of the match swung on a reversal and four-point near fall towards the end of the second period that gave Morrissey an 8-4 lead. At 184 pounds, Kenny Courts picked up a critical come-from-behind victory to make the score 17-14 by getting two late takedowns, including the winning one with 43 seconds left, for a 9-8 decision. Courts trailed 6-4 entering the third period and was behind on riding time, but escaped and then scored the decisive points. In the process, he also negated Morrissey's riding time. Purdue tied the dual at 17-17 with Drake Stein's 8-4 decision over Jack Rozema at 197 lbs., setting up Tavanello's clincher at 285. UP NEXT The Buckeyes travel to State College, Pa. for a showdown against No. 1 Penn State on Friday at 6 p.m. inside the Bryce Jordan Center. The dual can also be seen live on BTN.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- In the final home dual of his coaching career, Michigan State wrestling head coach Tom Minkel walked off the platform at Jenison Field House with a win as the Spartans defeated Northwestern, 19-15, Sunday afternoon. For the second consecutive home match, the dual wasn't decided until the last bout, but the Spartans prevailed this time on Dimitrus Renfroe's 5-3 decision at heavyweight over Conan Jennings. MSU (1-12, 1-7 Big Ten) won the final three matches and six overall against the Wildcats (1-9, 0-5) to rally from a 12-3 deficit. "I thought I might be sad about it, but really it was a lot of fun today," said Minkel, who is retiring following his 25th season at MSU in 2015-16. "You kind of enjoy it, and understand that it was the last go-round of this kind, but also just seeing our kids today, I knew they were highly motivated. I knew they really wanted to win this one. They found a way to get it done, and that's enormously satisfying." With MSU clinging to a 16-15 lead, Renfroe won his first career dual match to seal the win for the Spartans. Renfroe came out strong in the first period with a takedown at the 1:13 mark, and quickly added two back points to go up, 4-0. He racked up more riding time in the second before Jennings escaped to make it 4-1. In the third, Renfroe was penalized for stalling twice, including his second infraction with just 24 seconds remaining, but he hung on and added a riding time point (1:06) to earn the 5-3 decision. "I'm just hoping I can survive to the end of the dual," laughed Minkel afterward about what he was feeling during the heavyweight match. "There was so much at stake for these kids and for our team, and how much they've worked. I know they didn't want this to get away from us. So it was a pretty emotional moment. But really, just the last minute, I was saying, 'don't get turned, don't get called for stalling…, just try to hang in there,' and he found a way to get it done. I'm enormously proud of the program and the kids. It was a fun day." MSU trailed 15-10 with three matches to go - but won all three to complete the comeback win. At 184, Shwan Shadaia got things going with a 3-2 decision over Regis Durbin, followed by Jacob Cooper's last-second reversal at 197 pounds to put MSU on top, 16-15. Cooper, who recorded two takedowns in the first, led most of the match before giving up a takedown to Northwestern's Jacob Berkowitz with one minute left in the third that tied it at 5. With the clock winding down and the match appeared to be heading into sudden victory, Cooper worked his position and flipped Berkowitz at the edge of the circle for the reversal right before the buzzer sounded. The call was initially challenged by Northwestern but upheld by video review. It marked Cooper's fifth straight Big Ten dual victory. Mitch Rogaliner began the dual with a 6-2 overtime victory over Garrison White at 125 pounds. With time winding down in the first overtime, Rogaliner tallied four near-fall points before the horn sounded to come away with the 6-2 decision. Northwestern won the next four matches to take a 12-3 lead, but senior Joe Johnson, wrestling for the last time at Jenison Field House on Senior Day, changed the momentum of the dual with a dominating 13-2 major decision at 157 pounds over Anthony Petrone right before intermission. Johnson was aggressive right from the start and built a 6-0 lead after the first with a takedown and four near-fall points, and cruised to the nine-point win in which he also accumulated 3:37 of riding time. "It was definitely a hard time coming up to it (Senior Day), just knowing all of the injuries that I've been going through, hoping that I would even be cleared to wrestle," said Johnson. "So I knew it was going to be a little emotional. I had a lot of family and friends here supporting me, which is really cool; it gave me an extra adrenaline rush, a little boost. I just had to go out and lay it all out there, and I had a lot of fun." Dean Vettese was also victorious for the Spartans at 165 pounds against Luke Norland. Vettese quickly went up 10-1 in the first period and managed to hold off Norland in the second and third periods to earn the 11-8 decision. Prior to the match, the program recognized managers Chelsea Austin and Marissa Hur and seniors Brandon Fifield, Terry Turner, Roger Wildmo and Johnson as part of MSU's Senior Day festivities. "There's nothing like it," summed up Minkel as he talked about all of his former wrestlers that came out to support him in his last home dual. "My first (home) dual here was November of '91. I've heard from countless guys who have called and have written. It means a lot to me to have been a part of their lives and a part of their wrestling experience." The Spartans return to action Friday, Feb. 12 at Lock Haven. Results: 125: Mitch Rogaliner (MSU) dec. Garrison White (NU), 6-2 (OT). MSU, 3-0 133: Dominick Malone (NU) major dec.

Fairfax, Va. -- George Mason University's wrestling team was victorious in their dual against Sacred Heart Saturday night. Redshirt senior Blake Roulo(149) and redshirt junior Patrick Davis(165) each earned pins that greatly contributed to the 26-16 Mason victory. This is Roulo's first and Davis' second victory by fall this season, respectively. After a slow start to the season, Davis now owns a 10-10 record. The Bridgeville, Deleware native has provided invaluable points for the Patriots in recent duals and will need to continue his rise for Mason to compete in the Eastern Wrestling League. “I was pleased with our overall performance,” head coach Joe Russell said. “Getting pins from Blake Roulo and Patrick Davis was great for the team and good to see this time of season.” After losing their first match of the dual, the Patriots would go on to win the next five in a row, pushing the Mason lead to 23-6. Redshirt senior captain Vince Rodriguez(133) won by technical fall, 20-4, followed by redshirt freshman Tejon Anthony winning by decision, 12-5. “Vince Rodriguez also showed great hustle chasing points for the technical fall win,” Russell said. Russell has emphasized the importance of earning bonus points to the team all season long and Rodriguez has truly taken the message to heart. Rodriguez understands that leading by example is part of being a captain, and has been counted on by Mason all season to provide a boost in the second match of duals. Redshirt senior captain Greg Flournoy's victory by decision, 8-4, was sandwiched in between the pins earned by Roulo and Davis. Flournoy leads the team in victories with 22 and has been consistent for Mason all season.

YPSILANTI, Mich. -- Three Northern Illinois University wrestlers defeated ranked opponents as the Huskies posted a 21-9 victory over Eastern Michigan on Saturday afternoon at the EMU Convocation Center in Ypsilanti, Mich. In winning their first Mid-American Conference dual match of the season, the Huskies (6-6, 1-3) took seven of the 10 individual battles against the Eagles (7-6, 2-4 MAC) to pick up what was NIU wrestling's first conference win away from home since beating Buffalo on Feb. 23, 2014. Trace Engelkes (Winnebago, Ill./Winnebago), Shawn Scott (Holly, Mich./Holly) and Arthur Bunce (Munith, Mich./Dansville) were the Huskies that notched wins over Eagles ranked in the latest NCAA Coaches' Panel poll. Engelkes downed #32 Jacob Davis by 7-2 decision at 174 pounds, #16 Scott defeated #20 Anthony Abro 6-1 at 197 pounds in the only ranked matchup of the afternoon, and Bunce stunned #28 Gage Hutchison with an impressive 3-1 heavyweight win. NIU wrestling head coach Ryan Ludwig was proud of the way his team executed after a week of training that had the Huskies feeling confident heading on the road. “It's nice to see the fruits of our training. The guys had a good week of preparation, and it transitioned well,” Ludwig said. “Our lightweights set the tone. We battled through tough positions and that makes the difference in matches.” As Ludwig pointed out, before three of NIU's heavier wrestlers defeated marquee opponents, it was the Huskie lightweight who built a lead for the visitors. Alijah Jeffery (Marion, Iowa/Linn-Mar), Austin Eicher (Fenton, Mich./Hartland) and #15 Steve Bleise (Chelsea, Mich./Chelsea) each won by decision at 125, 133 and 141 pounds, respectively, to open the dual and give the Huskies a 9-0 lead they wouldn't relinquish. Sandwiched around another NIU win by Andrew Morse (Alto, Mich./Lowell), the Eagles battled back to make it 12-6 before Engelkes notched his first top-33 win of the season. Eastern Michigan then won at 184 pounds to put NIU's advantage under threat again, but Scott sealed the team dual victory for the Huskies with his third top-33 triumph of the 2015-16 college wrestling campaign via his win over Abro. For NIU, five of the seven Huskie wins on Saturday came from Michigan natives as Eicher, Bleise, Morse, Scott and Bunce all won on their return to their home state. The Huskies return home next weekend to host two ranked MAC opponents when Kent State and Missouri come to DeKalb for dynamic dual matchups. NIU will welcome the Golden Flashes on Friday at 7 p.m. before challenging the Tigers on Sunday at 1 p.m. Both duals will be held at Victor E. Court. Admission is FREE to all fans.

In a rematch of a bout between two NCAA All-Americans that ended in no contest last summer, University of Iowa grad Paul Bradley scored a first-round TKO of Edinboro alum Chris Honeycutt in a welterweight match at Bellator 148 at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. Friday night. "Bradley tarnished the undefeated record of Honeycutt in just 40 seconds at Bellator 148," is how the mixed martial arts website MMAFighting.com succinctly described the outcome. In its overview of Bellator 148, Sherdog.com wrote, "Bradley floored the Californian twice with clubbing right hands, pounced as Honeycutt turned to crawl away and let loose with a grisly burst of winging right hands to the side of the head that netted the stoppage." Sherdog.com's play-by-play provided a few more details about the closing seconds of the match: "Honeycutt's legs give way and Bradley pounces, clubbing the Californian with another big right hand as he staggers to his feet. Honeycutt collapses again, turns his back and tries to crawl away but Bradley is all over him, bombing with massive right hands. A couple more punches and Honeycutt goes limp, belly down, and referee Mike Beltran steps in to stop the fight. Honeycutt protests but the stoppage -- which looked proper in real time -- while Bradley gets up on the cage and screams at the Fresno crowd after clobbering the local favorite." Bradley celebrated the win on Facebook with this message: "Thank u everyone. Been a crazy night. Trying to get back to everyone. I wanted to bring this win back to Tama [Iowa, Bradley's hometown] and San Diego. There was so much built up aggression and focus for this fight it just all came out. I love u all and thank u for all the love." Meanwhile, Honeycutt's friend Lauren Marie posted an update on the former Fighting Scot's Facebook page: "Just wanted to let everyone know Chris is ok and was not injured in his fight. Didn't go as planned but that's fighting. Some of the best had to go through what he did last night to be the best and he will be there. Thank you for everyone who reached out to us and for those we didn't get back to we apologize. Thank you for the support and unwavering loyalty!" With the victory, Bradley is now 23-6 overall (with two no-contest outcomes), and 3-1 in Bellator. Honeycutt suffered the first loss of his pro MMA career, and is now 6-1 overall (with the one no-contest), and 2-1 in Bellator. This was the second time Bradley and Honeycutt had battled in a Bellator event. Last July, the two two-time NCAA All-Americans met at Bellator 140. That bout ended in a no-contest when the ringside physician stopped the action after the two 170-pounders unintentionally butted heads in the second round. Bradley suffering a deep gash on his forehead just under the hairline which required nine stitches.

Sean Fausz improved to a perfect 3-0 in ACC action with a 6-3 win over LJ Bentely to start the dual at 125 pounds. Fausz controlled most of the bout, scoring both takedowns and accumulating over three minutes of ride time. No. 3 Kevin Jack took care of business at 141 pounds, scoring a 3-0 win over No. 5 Mikey Racciato. After a scoreless first, Jack rode Racciato the entire second and his reversal to start the third was all he needed to go along with his 3:31 of ride time. Jack has now won 10 straight and recorded his fourth win over a ranked foe, second in top-10. R-So. Beau Donahue fought back from a 4-0 second-period hole and scored the lone takedown in the final period to win 6-5.

Freshman Pat D'Arcy has started plenty of Princeton matches already in his career. On Saturday, he closed arguably the team's biggest victory in more than two decades. The 125-pound rookie, who dealt with the pressure of a New Jersey state championship match last year, defeated Penn's Jeremy Schwartz 3-2 Saturday to cap a 10-0 rally and finish off a 19-15 victory for the Tigers. The win gives Princeton a 1-0 mark in the Ivy League, and it ends a 24-match losing streak to the Quakers. Princeton trailed 15-9 after Penn won two thrillers in nationally ranked showdowns, but the Tigers had their sophomore captain, 11th-ranked Brett Harner, ready to lead the final surge. He scored multiple takedowns in a 15-3 major decision over Joe Heyob to cut the deficit to 15-13. The critical match followed, as junior Ray O'Donnell took on Penn's Patrik Garren at 285. The two split a pair of matches last season; O'Donnell lost a decision to Garren in the dual, but he beat him during consolations at the EIWA Championships. The rubber match was 1-0 in the third when O'Donnell -- who started on top in the third -- turned Garren for a four-point move and ultimately won 6-1. "I love wrestling matches here, and I love closing them out," O'Donnell said. "I was really just in a good mood, which is funny and ironic for wrestling. I knew I was going to get the win. I saw him laying there, and I knew top was a strong suit of mine, so I knew I needed to get it done." The left the match on the tough shoulders of D'Arcy, who thrilled the orange-clad crowd on Alumni Day with a first-period takedown. Schwartz escaped, and both added escapes later in the match, but D'Arcy scrambled his way over a wild final 30 seconds to avoid a takedown and clinch the win. "You put the blinders on and you focus on the match," D'Arcy said about the pressure of his match. "You don't let the crowd affect you, you just focus on what you need to do. It was very important [to get the first takedown]. You want to get the lead. You want to build on it, which I didn't do it, but I kept wrestling." Princeton got an early win from Jordan Laster at 141, and then saw two of its veterans return to the mat in Chris Perez and Adam Krop. Perez battled hard against 10th-ranked CJ Cobb, but he couldn't manage a takedown in a 3-0 loss. Krop got taken down almost immediately at 157 in his second match in more than a year (he topped F&M earlier in the day), but then he took total control in a 10-5 victory over 20th-ranked May Bethea. Senior Judd Ziegler, who had been part of three dual losses to Penn in his career, had a win that may get overshadowed by the late heroics, but was critical to the overall success. He scored an early takedown against Brooks Martino and controlled a hard-fought final five minutes in a 5-3 win. Penn rallied in the next two matches, both featuring Top 20 wrestlers, to gain a 15-9 lead, but Harner's major paved the way to the thrilling conclusion. "This is huge for our program and our alumni, which came out in force today," head coach Chris Ayres said. "It's been one step at a time. I learned quickly that this would take time, and we all stuck to it together. The game plan is to keep working our way, keep knocking them down until we're the best team in the country. "Some of the people in the stands, like Johnny Orr, our Friends Group president, stuck with me this whole time," Ayres added. "Having him here, this is for him and guys who helped us the whole way. A lot of the guys that I coached in the early years, a lot of them came back. I told them that this was for them too. But we have a lot of work still to do, and we have some big goals in front of us." Princeton, which opened the day with a 35-6 win over Franklin & Marshall, will try to end another streak Sunday. The Tigers will host Rutgers -- winners of 18 straight in the series -- at 1 pm in Jadwin Gym. The match will be streamed live on the Ivy League Digital Network.

LEXINGTON, Va. -- The Army West Point wrestling team captured its first All-Academy's Championship title since 2008 behind four individual championship performances on Saturday. "I'm so proud of the guys today," said second-year head coach Kevin Ward. "All 10 wrestlers contributed, and every point in every match mattered. We were in a good position heading into the finals, and we rose to the occasion. Having six of our guys in the finals with four champions was a really exciting way to win the tournament." Army sent six Black Knights to championship bouts, the most of any team in the tournament. Logan Everett (141), Andrew Mendel (165), 19th-ranked Brian Harvey (174) and Bryce Barnes (197) all came away with individual championships, while Russell Parsons Jr. (157) and Samson Imonode (184) placed second. Additionally, Army sent two more wrestlers to the third-place matches. David Farr (285) finished third, and Austin Harry (133) placed fourth. Everett started the day with a 9-0 major decision before edging out a pair of one-point decisions. The Tioga, Pa., native topped Navy's Nicholas Gil 6-5 in the championship match. Mendel followed a similar route to Everett on his way to a championship. A 14-4 major decision started his day before a pair of decisions led to the 165-pound crown. The sophomore from Mason, Ohio, used a 7-6 decision over host VMI's Shabaka Johns in the final bout. Harvey earned the most bonus-points on the day for the Black Knights, earning a technical fall and a major decision. In the finals, the New Palestine, Ind., native faced off against the 18th-ranked 174-pounder in Jadaen Bernstein from Navy. After topping him 2-1 in last year's dual, Harvey came out on top once again, this time to the tune of 4-2. Barnes earned an 18-1 technical fall in his opening match, but had to sweat out a 6-4 decision in the first sudden-victory period over Marshall Haas of The Citadel. He earned his second-consecutive championship in his final season from his home state with a 6-2 decision. Parsons Jr. powered his way to the championship bout at 157-pounds for the second-straight year with two major decisions, but ran out of steam in the finals, suffering an 8-3 decision in the first tie breaker. Imonode earned his second-straight runner-up honors at the All-Academy's after also starting out with a pair of major decisions. A 14-4 win over Derek Thurman of VMI led to a 10-2 bonus point win over Air Force's William Baker thanks to a late surge. He would suffer the team's only result by fall of the day, in the finals against Matthew Miller of Navy. Farr opened the tournament with a 17-2 technical fall before being sent to the consolation bracket due to an 8-2 decision. A sudden-victory over Navy's Nick Mabry allowed the Cornwall, N.Y., native to place in the tournament. He powered his way to a 5-3 decision in the third-place match. Harry battled back after dropping his first match and captured a 15-2 major decision to place in his first All-Academy's. Army returns to the mat on Friday, Feb. 12, when the team travels to 4th-ranked Oklahoma State. The dual is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. ET.

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- The 11th largest crowd in Mizzou Wrestling history witnessed a statement victory Saturday as No. 5 Mizzou (10-1, 6-0) defeated No. 7 Oklahoma (9-3, 4-1), 31-12, at the Hearnes Center. Redshirt junior 141-pounder Matt Manley (Perry, Okla.) swayed the momentum in Mizzou's favor with a victory by fall in the 141-pound bout, the first of seven consecutive wins in a row for the Tigers, who improved to 10-1 on the season with the victory. "I keep saying that I'm looking for consistency from some guys, and Matt Manley has been that guy all season," Head Coach Brian Smith said of Manley after the dual. "He is starting to put up bonus points for us and that's really good." The Sooners took a 6-0 lead after the first two matches, but their lead quickly vanished thanks to the fall from Manley. Manley had control of the match from the very beginning, earning a takedown and a two-point near-fall in the first two minutes of action. Manley recorded the fall over Trae Blackwell at 2:40, increasing his season record to 23-5 and 9-1 in dual competition. Redshirt junior 149-pounder Lavion Mayes (Mascoutah, Ill.) continued the momentum in the 149-pound bout with a 4-2 victory by decision over Davion Jeffries, giving the Tigers a 9-6 lead. It was Mayes' second victory this season over Jeffries, after Mayes beat Jeffries, 5-4, at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational on Dec. 5. Mayes had a 2-1 lead in the final period, but still needed another point due to riding time in Jeffries' favor. Mayes was able to get a takedown with just two seconds left in the match to earn the 4-2 win. With the win, the Tiger junior improved to 20-0 on the season (11-0 in dual competition), the second consecutive season Mayes has started a season 20-0 after winning his first 21 matches of the 2014-15 season. Next, Mizzou earned an 8-0 victory by major decision from redshirt junior 157-pounder Le'Roy Barnes (Belton, Mo.). Barnes used three takedowns, an escape, and a point from riding time to defeat Oklahoma's Brock Wingbermuehle. The win was Barnes' second major decision victory in dual play this season and drove his season record to 20-7, 3-3 in duals. In the 165-pound bout, redshirt freshman 165-pounder Daniel Lewis (Blue Springs, Mo.) scored two takedowns to earn a 4-0 victory by decision over No. 12-ranked Clark Glass. Lewis wrestled Glass before at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, where he defeated him by an 8-2 decision. The victory gives Lewis a 19-3 record this season, 9-1 in duals. The Tigers added to their lead with a victory by fall from redshirt senior 174-pounder Blaise Butler (Belvidere, Ill). Butler pinned No. 19-ranked Matt Reed at 2:16, his third victory by fall this season and second in dual competition. Redshirt senior 184-pounder Cody Johnston (Warrensburg, Mo.) earned his first victory in dual competition this year with a 16-0 win by technical fall over Andrew Dixon. Johnston used three four point near-falls over the first two periods to record the technical fall at 3:45 Junior 197-pounder J'den Cox (Columbia, Mo.) won his 20th bout of the season with a 9-0 victory by major decision over No. 20-ranked Brad Johnson. Cox collected multiple takedowns in the win, earning his 95th career win. The Tigers will hit the mat once again Sunday, Jan. 31st against MAC rival Old Dominion at the Hearnes Center. The match will begin at 1 p.m. CT and will be streamed on ESPN 3. Results: 125: Ryan Millhof (OU) def. Barlow McGhee (Mizzou) by 3-2 decision 133: Cody Brewer (OU) def.
