COLUMBUS, Ohio -- After ending the dual tied at 19 apiece, No. 5 Mizzou wrestling came away with a thrilling 20-19 dual win over the No. 7 Ohio State Buckeyes Sunday afternoon at St. John Arena. The 20th and final team point for the Tigers resulted in the last criteria of the official NCAA wrestling tiebreaker rulings. On the afternoon, Mizzou grapplers earned three ranked wins over Top-10 opponents. The biggest of them all was by redshirt senior Drake Houdashelt, as he defeated No. 3 Hunter Stieber via a Fall at 2:39. The Tigers and Buckeyes began Sunday afternoon at 125 pounds inside the St. John Arena. Redshirt senior Alan Waters built an early advantage over No. 7 Nathan Tomasello and held off a late push by the Buckeye to claim an 11-8 decision victory. After a close loss at 133 pounds, the Tigers rebounded in a big way at 149 pounds with a Fall by redshirt senior Drake Houdashelt. The win over No. 3 Hunter Stieber evened the dual at nine apiece after four matchups. Mizzou responded once again after a loss, as redshirt junior Cody Johnston earned a thrilling 9-7 SV1 victory over Ohio State's Justin Kresevic at 165 pounds. Once again the team scores were locked even with this time at 12 each. Redshirt freshman Willie Miklus delivered perhaps the biggest win of the night at 184 pounds, earning a 12-2 major decision over Josh Fox. After the Buckeyes' Kyle Snyder followed up with a major decision victory of his own at 197 pounds, the team winner of the dual came down to the heavyweight battle between sophomore J'den Cox and Ohio State's No. 10 Nick Tavanello. A big takedown in the third period led to a 4-2 decision win for Mizzou's Cox and the match ended at 19 apiece. With the final regulation score ending in a tie, the final tiebreaker came down to the official scorebook to decide the team dual winner. With the first several tiebreakers evened up, the last criteria came in to play as the team with the first takedown of the dual was honored a bonus team point. That ruling proved to be in Mizzou's favor as Alan Waters earned a takedown over Nathan Tomasello in the dual's first matchup. Results: 125: Alan Waters (Missouri) dec.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Coming off of a loss to Wisconsin, the Hoosiers made a great turn around, defeating SIUE 28-12 and Manchester 47-6. IU won 16 of the 18 matches that they entered a wrestler. In dual meets on the season, Indiana is now 2-1. "I like the way we rebounded after a tough loss to Wisconsin. We wrestled with intensity," said head coach Duane Goldman. "Hopefully we can build on that and continue to wrestle the same way in upcoming matches." In the match against SIUE, redshirt senior Taylor Walsh and sophomore Jake Masengale both recorded pins. Five other Hoosiers earned victories -- four by decision and one by major decision. Indiana dominate the match versus Manchester with five pins and two tech falls. The only team points that Manchester scored were due to the forfeit of the 125-pound class by IU. In the 133-pound weight class, sophomore Chris Caton defeated Patrick Myers (SIUE) and Chase Wilson (MAN). In his bout against Wilson, Caton earned the quickest pin of the day in only 30 seconds. Redshirt sophomore Trevor Moody was a point scoring machine, winning 11-7 against Karsten Van Velsor (SIUE) and with a 15-0 tech fall against Josh Juarez (MAN) Redshirt freshman Luke Blanton went 2-0 on the day with a 13-4 major decision in his match verses SIUE's Erik Traveras and a pin in 1:39 versus Manchester's Bryce Roberts. Joining Caton, Moody and Blanton at 2-0 on the day are Walsh, Nate Jackson, Jake Masengale and Luke Sheridan. Third ranked Taylor Walsh added two more pins to his tally, bringing his season total to 13 and his career total to 60. In a tough bout against Jake Residori (SIUE), 16th ranked Nate Jackson won on a 4-3 decision. Jackson followed that with dominating 12-4 major decision. Taylor Walsh isn't the only Hoosier who can rack up the pins, as Jake Masengale also pinned two on the day. The first came in 3:14 versus Derek Nagel (SIUE), the second in 4:46 against Alex Roberts (MAN). Senior Luke Sheridan duplicated his result from Manchester last season with a first round pin. Sheridan won a hard fought bout against Matthew McCliments with a 2-0 decision. The Hoosiers next match is against Cleveland State, one week from today on December 20 at 1 pm (Cleveland, Ohio).

PHILADELPHIA -- Drexel Wrestling recorded its first Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association win of the season, taking down the Navy Midshipmen on Saturday night by a score of 24-16 at the Daskalakis Athletic Center. The Dragons jumped on Navy early and closed the Midshipmen's late window into a comeback. Tanner Shoap earned the 16-0 technical fall at 125 pounds to begin the night on the mat, tallying near fall points while showing an impressive ground game. Kevin Devoy Jr., who is ranked No. 17 in the country by Intermat Wrestling, won by fall at 133 pounds just 57 seconds into the first period to improve to 9-0 on the early season. Up 11-0 in the early going, 141 and 149 pounds remained important weight classes for the Dragons to take control. At 141 pounds, David Pearce did the job, winning a 6-1 decision. The sophomore from Illinois held a 3-1 lead in the third period, scoring a late takedown to put away the opposing Midshipman. Following at 149 pounds, Matt Cimato extended the Dragons lead to 18-0 after a major 12-0 decision where he jumped out to a lead early in the first and never let his opponent in the match. Noel Blanco, wrestling at 157 pounds, grinded out a 4-1 decision to extend the Dragons lead to 21-0 at the halfway point of the match. "That's the kind of product we want Drexel Wrestling to be," head coach Matt Azevedo said. "We came out and we were aggressive and we went after them. We knew that the first five matches would be important, and it was huge to jump on them the way we did. "Especially coming off of finals week where some guys weren't able to practice every day, they came out ferocious. They attacked, and we scored riding time at almost every weight class. That's exactly what we want Drexel Wrestling to be." At the start of the second half of the match, Navy began to go on a scoring run. At 165 pounds was freshman Nick Elmer, who dropped a tough 7-1 decision to the No. 15 ranked wrestler at the weight class, Peyton Walsh. Following at 174 pounds, another freshman, Stephen Loiseau fell in a major decision, 12-3. Alex DeCiantis was tied 3-3 with his opponent heading into the third, but lost by fall at the 1:30 mark in the final period. With the team score at 21-13, Joshua Murphy took the mat at 197 pounds with a chance to close Navy's chance at a comeback. The freshman from Brecksville, Ohio, down 3-1 in the third, scored a late takedown to even the score at 3-3, but could not score another after his opponent took a 4-3 lead. Joey Goodhart took the mat at heavyweight needing to avoid a technical fall or a pin to secure a Dragons win. He did just that, scoring an escape and a takedown in the final minute to win the 4-3 decision as Drexel took the dual 24-16. Drexel improve to 2-3 on the season and 1-0 in the EIWA. The Dragons return to the mat when the head to the Grapple at the Garden held at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21. They will wrestle Northern Iowa at 10 a.m. followed by George Mason at 12 p.m. Results: 125: Tanner Shoap (DREX) TF Brant Leadbeter (Navy), 16-0 133: No. 17 Kevin Devoy Jr. (DREX) WBF Colton Rasche (Navy), @0:57 141: David Pearce (DREX) DEC Patrick Prada (Navy), 6-1 149: Matthew Cimato (DREX) MAJ Corey Wilding (Navy), 12-0 157: Noel Blanco (DREX) DEC Drew Daniels (Navy), 4-1 165: No. 15 Peyton Walsh (Navy) DEC Nick Elmer (DREX), 7-1 174: Jadaen Bernstein (Navy) MAJ Stephen Loiseau (DREX), 12-3 184: Michael Woulfe WBF Alex DeCiantis (DREX), @ 7:30 197: Paul Rands (Navy) DEC Joshua Murphy (DREX), 4-3 285: Joey Goodhart (DREX) DEC Colynn Cook (Navy), 4-3

EDINBORO, Pa. -- Kory Mines and A.J. Schopp got Edinboro off to a fast start with pins and the Fighting Scots never looked back in posting a 32-6 win over the Golden Eagles on Saturday night at McComb Fieldhouse. Ranked fourth in InterMat's Tournament Rankings and 13th in the latest USA Today/NWCA Division I Coaches Poll, Edinboro improved to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in EWL action. Clarion is now 0-8 and 0-2, respectively. The Fighting Scots were missing starters Mitchell Port (ranked second at 141 lbs.) and Vic Avery (ranked 14th by InterMat at 184 lbs.), but Edinboro still won eight of ten bouts. 6907Dave Habat won by technical fall. Mines opened up the match with a fall at 4:56 over Seth Carr at 125 lbs., as the redshirt senior improved to 14-2 for the season. He grabbed a 7-1 lead after one period and led 9-1 following a second period takedown before flattening Carr for his second fall of the season. Schopp followed with his sixth pin this year and 57th of his career as he continues to build on his school record. The redshirt senior pinned Joel Rosko at 2:11 of the first period to boost the Boro lead to 12-0. Ranked first at 133 lbs., Schopp improved to 9-0 this season and 116-14 for his career. He moved into a tie with Sean O'Day for 13th place in career wins. Freshman Jensen Lorea, filling in for Port at 141 lbs., would drop a 7-1 decision to Clarion's Sam Sherlock, but Habat gave Edinboro a 17-3 advantage with a 19-3 technical fall over Brodie Zacherl. The end came 6:12 as Habat also remained undefeated at 13-0. He boosted his career record to 111-24 as he is now tied for 18th place in career victories with Kevin Welsh. The redshirt senior is ranked fourth by InterMat. Kasey Burnett-Davis went into sudden victory before claiming a 4-2 decision over Evan DeLong at 157 lbs.

He led just 2-0 after one period, but two more takedowns in the second period and a fourth in the third. A redshirt sophomore, he has a 10-1 record.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- Purdue wrestlers claimed six weights en route to a 19-12 dual victory over North Carolina (1-2, 0-0 ACC) Saturday at Kell High School. No. 19 Danny Sabatello provided bonus points for a second straight night and the Welch trio prevailed as the Boilermakers improved to 7-2, 0-0 B1G. The win comes on the heels of a 19-16 upset of No. 20 Chattanooga less than 24 hours earlier and 100 miles north. "I thought their intensity was better than last night considering they had to go on back-to-back scratch weigh-ins," head wrestling coach Tony Ersland said. "They responded and wrestled hard. You get in the groove a little bit after you wrestle. Some guys had some things to prove, others had a better idea of how they wanted to wrestle tonight compared to last night and then with lineup changes, some guys had to step up. There was a combination of things that motivated our guys tonight." Redshirt freshman Luke Welch opened the dual by notching the first dual win of his career by shutting out Cody Karns, 4-0. After a scoreless opening period in the 125-pound bout, a second period rideout was key to Welch setting the tone for the remainder of the match. He escaped at the beginning of the third and took Karns down. Welch's 2:47 of riding time closed out the scoring for his fifth win of the season. Sabatello used four takedowns, an escape and racked up 5:00 of riding time to cruise past Matt Williams with a 10-1 major decision at 133. The third major decision of the redshirt junior's campaign extended his winning streak to 14 and he has had his hand raised in 11 consecutive duals dating back to last season. Sabatello owns a team-best record of 15-1 and boasts a 9-2 dual record. "I was very happy with Luke [Welch] going out and setting tone for what the night was going to be," Ersland said. "He took a fight to [Cody] Karns and wrestled him tough. Then Danny [Sabatello] built upon that momentum and kept it going." The Tar Heels narrowed the dual to 7-3 with a 3-2 decision from 14th-ranked Joey Ward against Nick Lawrence at 141 pounds, only to have the Boilermakers respond by winning the next two weights and push their lead to 13-3. With just seconds remaining and knotted at 5-5, Alex Griffin took Joey Moon down to win the 149-pound match, 7-5. The redshirt sophomore scored a takedown in the first and added two more in the third, while holding Moon to three escapes and a reversal. It was the third time the two grapplers had met and just as it was in the previous two meetings during the Roadrunner Open earlier in the season, Griffin was the victor. The win lifted his mark to 13-5 overall and 5-1 in duals. Doug Welch followed at 157 with a 5-3 decision over Chris Mears. Even though Mears struck fast and early in the first period with a takedown, Welch wasn't fazed. Nearly immediately after being taken down, he escaped. He added another escape at the start of the second period and took the North Carolina redshirt senior down. He added 1:45 of riding time to win his fourth straight match and push his mark to 13-4 in his redshirt junior season. An escape with one second on the clock lifted twin brother Chad Welch past John Michael Staudenmayer, 3-2. The 13-6 Boilermaker used a first period takedown and an escape in the third to earn the decision. Like Griffin, it was the third time Welch had seen and defeated his Tar Heel opponent, previously facing him at the Roadrunner Open. Purdue's sixth win of the night came from Patrick Kissel at 197 pounds with an 8-5 decision. Trailing Chip Ness 3-1 going into the final two minutes of action, Kissel used a six-point third period to pick up the win. The redshirt senior tallied two escapes before getting a takedown of his own and tilting Ness for a three count. "Good teams find a way to win on the road," Ersland said. "We had some adversity this weekend and they responded. I am happy with how they handled themselves with these two duals. It was a business trip; they had good poise. Overall it was a good weekend for us to build on." Purdue wrestling will break for the holidays and return to the mat at the 52nd Annual Ken Craft Midlands Championships hosted by Northwestern Dec. 29-30 in Evanston, Ill. "Going into this break before Midlands, we want to get everyone refreshed," Ersland said. "This season is going to fly by. We want to make sure our guys stay focused and build their mindset to March and continue to get better." Results: 125 // Luke Welch (Purdue) dec.

BOISE, Idaho -- Oregon State won its first four matches en route to a convincing 31-3 victory over Boise State Saturday night to see the Beavers win the Border War. OSU scored bonus points in just one match – Ronnie Bresser’s 15-6 win over Carson Kuhn at 125 points – but that mattered little as the Beavers claimed nine of the 10 matches, including a forfeit win for Jack Hathaway at 133 pounds. The win marked Oregon State’s second straight over the Broncos in Boise, and improved the Beavers’ record to 30-17-1 all-time in the series. Cody Crawford opened the night with a 3-0 win over Xavier Callejas at 197, then saw Nate Keeve win 5-3 over Gabriel Gonzalez at the heavyweight spot. Bresser’s 15-6 win then extended OSU’s lead to 10-0 before the forfeit made it 16-0. Only Geordan Martinez’s win at 141 could spoil the Beavers’ shutout. Abraham Rodriguez (149) won, 3-1, while Alex Elder took 157 at 12-5. Seth Thomas was victorious, 3-1, at 165 pounds, and Joe Latham took down Austin Dewey, 6-1, at 174. Sixth-ranked Taylor Meeks closed out the night, with the match already long decided, 3-0, over Cody Dixon. The teams are slated to meet again Feb. 8 in Corvallis.

Lincoln, Neb.-- The unranked Wisconsin wrestling program floored No. 8 Nebraska at the Devaney Center tonight. The dual gave Nebraska their first loss of the season, dropping them to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in Big Ten competition. Action began with Frank Cousins taking on the No. 1 ranked Robert Kokesh. Cousins made two escapes in the first and second periods. The third period ended with Kokesh winning in a 16-5 major decision. Next, No. 20 Ricky Robertson faced No. 17 TJ Dudley.

No. 16 Timmy McCall went on to wrestle Aaron Studebaker at 197 lbs. McCall held a one point lead in the first two periods, but Studebaker tied it up with a takedown. McCall made a takedown in overtime to put the Badgers over the Huskers, where they would stay for the rest of the dual. In another double ranked match, heavyweight No. 5 Connor Medbery met No. 14 Collin Jensen. Medbery collected two takedowns, three escapes, a near fall and 2:22 riding time to win in an 11-3 major decision. This brought Medbery to an unscathed record of 14-0 and the Badgers to 10-4.

Links: Brackets | Team Standings | Placewinners CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio -- The hype and attention around the Walsh Jesuit Ironman is unreal on a year-to-year basis. It is like Daytona 500 of the high school wrestling season, and lord knows did it deliver with flying colors this year. Major stories were abound from both the team dynamic, with the top four teams in the country competing for the title on day two; and the individual as well, with eleven wrestlers ranked either first or second on the brackets. The medal matches on Saturday night in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio started with the 195 pound weight class, so the proceedings would end with the 182 pound matches. This final was a showdown of the nation's top two ranked wrestlers in the weight class, Zahid Valencia (St. John Bosco, Calif.) and Myles Martin (McDonogh, Md.). Also on the line in this match was a potential fourth Ironman title for Valencia, who would become just the second wrestler to be a four-time Ironman champion; the other being David Taylor (St. Paris Graham, Ohio), who would go on to be a four-time national finalist and two-time Hodge Trophy winner at Penn State. What the match was lacking for in action, as each wrestler only had one meaningful deep leg attack during the first seven minutes of the bout, the drama trumped that by a factor of tens. Martin and Valencia would trade escapes during the second and third periods, as well as in the thirty-second tiebreaker periods. Then, in the ultimate tiebreaker, Martin chose down. Therefore, Valencia needed to ride out Martin, who had escaped quickly twice earlier in the match, to make history. "All that was on my mind was number four," said Valencia after the match. "I wanted it so bad, and God gave me the strength to pull it out." That is what happened, as over the course of multiple sequences, he was able to prevent Martin from earning the escape during the 30 second ultimate tiebreaker period. That fourth Ironman title gave Valencia a piece of history, and the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler award. "I've left a legacy behind (with that fourth Ironman title)," added Valencia. Two other phenoms from St. John Bosco added Ironman titles on Saturday night to already robust resumes, Cade Olivas (106) and Anthony Valencia (170), who both also are ranked No. 1 regardless of weight class in their respective grades. Olivas, just a freshman, added to an already robust wrestling resume with an 8-3 championship match victory against No. 9 Drew Mattin (Delta, Ohio). Cade scored a takedown in each period, adding a two-point near fall with the takedown he scored in the first period. "I come in with the same game plan for every match," responded Olivas when asked about how high school is different than his previous wrestling. "I've gotten the job done with it so far (over his youth wrestling career), so why change." Four of five matches for Anthony Valencia were decided by major decision or pin, which included a 12-3 victory in the championship final against No. 5 Kamal Bey (Oak Park River Forest, Ill.). Both wrestlers started the match of strong, as each threw the other at the edge of the mat, but was unable to score. However, Anthony would get the action started with a five point-move midway through the first period. He then added an additional takedown in each period on the way to earning a second consecutive title at the Walsh Ironman. "Experience," was what Anthony cited for why he was able to come out on top in the key flurry situations of the match. "Doing it again means a lot," added Anthony about ¬repeating as champion. "In fact it means more than winning the first one." Heading into the tournament's second day, the top four teams in the country were within five points of one another in the standings. After the quarterfinal round, No. 3 Wyoming Seminary, Pa. kind of bowed out due to a 2-6 performance. However, No. 1 Blair Academy, N.J. (6-2), No. 2 Oak Park River Forest, Ill. (5-2), and No. 4 St. Paris Graham, Ohio (6-2) were all packed together. Then, at high noon the fourth-ranked Falcons came out on fire, as they pulled five wrestlers into the championship final – as opposed to the trio that Blair Academy and OPRF were able to advance. The sizzle continued on Saturday night, as St. Paris Graham would see three of its wrestlers earn weight class titles on the way to a team title with 211 points (Blair Academy was second with 189.5) Champions for St. Paris Graham were No. 11 Mitch Moore (113), No. 10 Eli Seipel (126), and No. 6 Alex Marinelli (160). The freshman sensation Moore beat his third nationally ranked wrestler of the tournament on Saturday night in a 6-1 decision over No. 4 Jason Renteria (Oak Park River Forest, Ill.), who is now a two-time Ironman runner-up. Moore scored a takedown with near falls in the first period, rode Renteria out in the second period, and added a third period takedown for the comprehensive victory. "I've been coming here since I was little to watch the tournament," said the freshman sensation Moore. "While alone in the (wrestling) room with (head coach) Jeff (Jordan) after last weekend's tournament, I told him I would win (this Ironman title)." Seipel happened not to have to face a single ranked wrestler on the way to his title, which was a one-step improvement from last year's runner-up finish. The championship victory came against Coltan Williams (Trinity Christian Academy, Texas), who had beaten No. 4 Austin Assad (Brecksville, Ohio) 6-5 in the tiebreakers during the semifinal. Seipel scored takedowns in the first and second period of the championship bout to give the necessary margin in a 7-2 finals victory. "It's great to go out on top at the Ironman," said Seipel about both his individual title and the Falcons' team title. "Now I want to help us get that national title." The junior Marinelli was in his third Ironman final, and third against a Blair Academy wrestler, having fallen short against Russ Parsons and Dylan Milonas the previous two seasons. On this occasion, he would be going against defending Ironman champion Mason Manville, who is ranked No. 2 nationally at 160 pounds. The wrestlers traded escapes in regulation, while Marinelli had the best scoring chance, as he got deep in on a single leg attack during the third period. However, Manville was able to defend his way out of the situation. Then in overtime, on a virtually identical setup and finish, Marinelli was that bit crisper and got the takedown and 3-1 victory. "I work to my position, get (Manville) out of his," said Marinelli about his match strategy in the final against an opponent whose positioning and defense is supreme. "Stalk, creep, push, attack. Just good Iowa style wrestling." In addition to the three weight class champions, St. Paris Graham added runner-up finishes from No. 9 Eli Stickley (120) and Rocky Jordan (132), a fourth from No. 12 Brent Moore (145), a fifth from Justin Stickley (106), a sixth from Garrett Jordan (170), and a seventh from No. 13 Kyle Lawson (152). "I thought we could win, but there were a lot of question marks," said Falcons' head coach Jeff Jordan about his pre-tournament expectation. "It ended up coming down to the young guys and a couple unexpected kids stepping it up." It is likely that St. Paris Graham will jump up to No. 1 nationally on Wednesday in the Fab50, and they are scheduled to make a trip to current No. 1 Blair Academy, N.J. for a dual meet in three weeks. "We have to keep at it, and working towards that match," added Jordan. "It's going to be a tough one out there." Speaking of Blair Academy, they had one singular champion, and that was No. 13 David Showunmi at 220 pounds. In a weight class where he was the lone nationally ranked wrestler, Showunmi did not give up a single offensive point all tournament. The championship bout was a 7-2 victory over James Ford (Worthington Kilboune, Ohio); Showunmi scoring a takedown in each period. "It feels good to break-through (on the national scene)," said Showunmi, who will be attending Stanford next year, though he's unsure if he'll end up at 197 or 285. Like champions St. Paris Graham, the runner-up Buccaneers also placed nine wrestlers. In addition to their champion Showunmi, No. 1 Matthew Kolodzik (138) and No. 2 Mason Manville (160) finished in second; No. 3 Charles Tucker (132), No. 10 Jordan Kutler (152), and No. 6 Brandon Dallavia (170) earned third; Neil Putnam (195) was seventh; while Zach Sherman (113) and Chase Singletary (182) took eighth. Blair Academy first-year head coach Brian Antonelli credited the champion Falcons on their performance, "They were darn tough, they were prepared, they came to win, and they more than deserved the championship." "There was some good, and some not so good about the team performance," added Antonelli. "We do have a lot to work on going forward. In particular, getting escapes, not giving up reversals, and just closing out matches and situations." Finishing third in the standings, almost 40 points behind St. Paris Graham was No. 2 Oak Park River Forest, Ill. The Huskies placed eight wrestlers, and they were without probably their second best wrestler – Larry Early, who is ranked No. 4 nationally at 145 pounds. Winning a championship was Isaiah White at 152 pounds, where he is ranked No. 2 nationally. White came through in the finals of the tournament's toughest weight class with a 3-1 overtime victory against No. 3 Vincenzo Joseph (Pittsburgh Central Catholic, Pa.). The wrestlers traded escapes in regulation, before White timed up a beautiful low single into an elevated finish for the sudden victory. "I wasn't gonna lose," said White about the overtime in the final. "I trained all summer and fall for this moment." He also earned narrow victories over two other nationally ranked wrestlers earlier on Saturday; White upended No. 4 Josh Maruca (Franklin Regional, Pa.) 6-4 in the tiebreaker during the semifinal, and previously beat No. 13 Kyle Lawson (St. Paris Graham, Ohio) 3-1 in the quarterfinal. The Huskies went 1-2 in finals like Blair Academy, as Renteria and Bey finished in second place. Also placing were No. 11 Anthony Madrigal (106) in third, No. 14 Matthew Rundell (160) in fifth, Alex Madrigal (120) in sixth, as well as No. 17 Gabe Townsell (126) and Ben Bergen (195) in eighth. "We did pretty well," said Oak Park River Forest head coach Paul Collins about his team's performance, "especially being short-handed (no Early and also no state qualifier Allen Stallings at 220). However, we still can improve, especially in terms of toughness." Two other number one in the nation wrestlers, both from Franklin Regional (Pa.) both won weight class titles on Saturday evening – Spencer Lee (120) and Michael Kemerer (145). Lee, who is also ranked No. 1 overall in the sophomore class, dominated No. 9 Stickley in the championship match by 13-2 major decision. The story was told in the first period, one that ended up with Lee on top 8-0 after a takedown and two sets of three-point near falls. Lee added a takedown in the second period, but did give up a takedown late in the third period. Given Lee's early-career success, there's a ton of expectation and coverage surrounding his wrestling. A FILA Cadet world freestyle title, two Super 32 titles, now two Ironman titles will do that. However, he tries to keep in the moment. "I work hard on relaxing, as I'll get so tight it consumes energy," commented Lee. "I tell myself to have fun, you've got to love the sport to enjoy and achieve, so just relax." Kemerer came through on Saturday night with a 7-1 decision over Wade Hodges (Wauseon, Ohio) for his first Ironman title after finishing as runner-up last year. Takedowns in the first and second period, along with a second period near fall were the points to spark the title. This Ironman title, combined with the Super 32 Challenge title, pretty much removes the "runner-up curse" from his present being. "It's great to have people to work with on a daily basis that test me," said Kemerer about having elite level teammates right around him in weight (Maruca and Josh Shields). "We've been practicing together for years, and it helps us all get better." A number one wrestler that fell short on Saturday was Matthew Kolodzik (Blair Academy, N.J.), who lost in overtime by 5-3 decision to No. 5 Davion Jeffries (Broken Arrow, Okla.). Kolodzik scored the opening takedown, and led 3-1 after two periods. However, Jeffries came through with a reversal just after the halfway point of the third period, and rode it out to force overtime. Then, in the overtime, Jeffries scored off of counter action to a double leg attack. "I had been preparing for (his) offense all week, along with No. 2 Ke-Shawn Hayes (who scratched prior to the tournament). All the hard work paid off (in an Ironman title)." Rounding out the weight class champions were No. 8 Cameron Kelly (Bellbrook, Ohio) at 132 pounds, Dylan Reynolds (Saegertown, Pa.) at 195, and No. 8 Kevin Vough (Elyria, Ohio) at 285. Kelly upended freshman sensation Rocky Jordan (St. Paris Graham, Ohio) by 3-1 decision in the final, the difference being a second period takedown. That came after Jordan beat No. 3 Charles Tucker (Blair Academy, N.J.) 6-4, and Kelly beat two-time state champion Jarred Ganger (Covington, Ohio) 4-2 in their semifinal bouts. "Winning this title feels great, and it validates the hard work," said Kelly. "Especially after falling just short of placing at both Fargo and Super 32. The wrestling was there (at those two), but the conditioning fell short, not today though." Reynolds beat nationally ranked wrestlers in the semifinal and final to win his title, 3-2 over No. 17 Bailey Faust (Lexington, Ohio) in the semifinal and 7-6 over No. 13 Matt Stencel (Oregon Clay, Ohio) in the final. Reynolds scored a pair of takedowns in the first period, and persevered through the last four minutes of the bout. "Getting early takedowns is something I do to get me going," said Reynolds. "It helps me feel comfortable and safe though the rest of the match." Though Vough was ranked below No. 3 Tate Orndorff (Unviersity, Wash.), Vough is now 2-0 against Orndorff in folkstyle competition, the previous meeting happening at the Flo Nationals. Both wrestlers were extraordinarily aggressive with upper-body ties throughout the match. Orndorff was successful for a takedown in the first period, while Vough scored the pin off a toss at the 3:45 mark. "Having wrestled him before, I knew what he had," said Vough. "I just had to find the right position and time, and I did."

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - No. 19 Danny Sabatello pinned Chattanooga's 14th-ranked Nick Soto at 133 pounds as the Purdue wrestling team upset the Mocs, 19-16, inside Maclellan Gym Friday. Additional bonus points from Pat Robison were critical as the Boilermakers split the 10 bouts with No. 20 Chattanooga (3-1, 0-0 SoCon). Purdue improved to 6-2, 0-0 B1G on the season with its second win over a ranked team. "What made me the most excited wasn't that I beat a good opponent, it was that I helped my team be closer to winning the dual meet against a good team," Sabatello said. "After that pin I was thinking immediately that it's six on the board so that's exciting when you can contribute to your teammates and to your coaches." Going in as the underdog for a third time this season, Sabatello conquered the challenge yet again by pinning Soto in 5:22. The opening three minutes of action were hectic as Soto took Sabatello down, to which he responded with by reversing the Moc. Soto escaped and Sabatello took him down to hold a 4-3 edge at the end of the first period. "He snaked a takedown, which I think made me a little upset and made me wrestle better," Sabatello explained. "That's what made me get the reversal right away." The redshirt junior dominated on top with a ride out in the second period. After deferring to start the second, Sabatello chose to begin the final period on bottom. Seconds after the whistle blew, Soto threw his right leg around Sabatello. The Boilermaker got a hold of Soto's leg to create a scramble situation and rolled Soto onto his right side, hooked his arm behind the leg and got both of the shoulders square on the mat for the fall. "I knew he was leg guy, so I knew he was throwing his legs in on top," Sabatello said. "I waited and I know I caught the leg, but after that I kept pressuring him and once I saw him on his back, I knew it was over." The fall is the fourth of the season for Sabatello, who hails from Long Grove, Ill. He improved to 14-1 while extending his win streak to 13 straight and won his 10th consecutive dual match dating back to Feb. 7, 2014. Sabatello has had his armed raised at the end of all three matches he's had against higher ranked competitors to start the 2014-15 season. "My confidence continues to keep going up, but I really can't let it get to my head at all," Sabatello said. "I need to have a short memory; Coach [Ersland] talks about that a lot." Nick Lawrence pushed the Boilermakers lead to 9-4 with an 8-6 sudden victory decision of Mike Pongracz. The redshirt senior from Westlake, Ohio, moved to 13-5 overall and 6-2 in duals with his seventh decision of the season. Chattanooga claimed a 13-7 decision at 149 pounds, but Purdue came back by taking the next three weights to build a 19-7 lead. Doug Welch (12-4) notched a 4-1 decision at 157 pounds, followed by a 10-0 blanking by Robinson over Jared Presley at 165. The redshirt senior scored an escape, a takedown and a three-point nearfall in the second period and added a second takedown in the third period. Presely was twice called for stalling in the third, awarding a penalty point to Robinson and scoring was capped off with 1:22 of riding time.

LANCASTER, Pa. -- Trailing 19-18 heading into the heavyweight bout, the Virginia Military Institute wrestling team got a well-timed win by fall from Juan Adams launched the Keydets past Franklin & Marshall College 24-19 in non-conference action Friday night. Adams, who picked up his 11th win this season, completed the rally at the Mayser Center by sticking a Alex Henry in the second period, finishing the match in 4:54. VMI (2-3) started the evening with a fall at 125 pounds as Dalton Henderson finished off Dan Martoccio midway through the first period, stopping the clock at 2:17. The Diplomats (1-3) answered back at 133 pounds as Patrick Quinlan stuck VMI's Hunter Starter in 1:37 to deadlock the match 6-6. The Keydets, who first clashed with F&M in 1927, took a narrow 9-6 lead as Emmitt Kelly edged Jason Bing for a 5-2 decision at 141 pounds. Franklin & Marshall reeled off two straight matches with bonus points as Sharron Townsend won 16-6 and Rob King won by fall to put the Diplomats up 16-9. The Keydets started a run of their own as Shabaka Johns nabbed a 3-0 win over Andy Francos at 165 pounds, followed by a 174 pound win by Mark Darr, going to 10-3 over Gordon Bolig. Derek Thurman capped the run with an 8-4 decision over Anthony Mancini. The Thurman win put VMI up by two points, 18-16 with two weights to go. F&M regained the lead by a single point, 19-18 after Charles Kerkesner edged Jake Tomlinson 6-3 at 197 pounds. But Adams gave the Keydets their first true road win over the season with his win by fall in the final bout of the night.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Senior 17th-ranked heavyweight Tyler Deuel pinned Ray O'Donnell 50 seconds into the second period to lift Binghamton wrestling (2-4, 1-0 EIWA) to a dramatic 20-16 win over host Princeton (3-2, 0-1 EIWA) Friday night at Dillon Gym. The teams split the 10 bouts but BU gained key bonus points in the first and last matches of the evening. Trailing 16-14 heading into the heavyweight tilt, the Bearcats needed a decision by Deuel but the burly veteran provided much more, turning a second-period takedown attempt by O'Donnell into a match-ending pin. Deuel, No. 17 in this week's Intermat rankings, improved to 9-1 on the season (5-1 duals). Redshirt freshman Thierno Diallo's commanding technical fall in the first match gave BU its other bonus points. The 125-pounder racked up 16 points in 4:39 to end his bout early. With his second technical fall of the season, Diallo raised his record to 11-6 overall, 3-3 in duals. Senior 133-pound David White worked into overtime to earn a 3-1 win and freshmen Vincent DePrez and Steve Schneider won decisions at 157 and 174, respectively. Deprez's win was his 11th of the season and Schneider notched win No. 12 in his inaugural collegiate season.

The UFC's offerings this weekend culminate in a FOX network main card Saturday where three of the four fights feature heavyweight combatants. Given the quality of a typical heavyweight MMA bout, that'd normally frighten the crap out of us, but UFC matchmaker Joe Silva put together some interesting, if not entirely competitive, fights. In the main event, former champion Junior dos Santos goes up against Stipe Miocic, an athletic and talented fighter but probably a bit overmatched for this level of competition. A day before, The Ultimate Fighter Finale will crown a new women's 115 pound champion. The event also includes an intriguing featherweight contest between Charles Oliveira and Jeremy Stephens.

MINOT, N.D. -- The Minot State University wrestling team got their Nothern Sun Intercollegiate Conference dual season off to a good start Thursday evening as they defeated the visiting University of Mary Marauders by a score of 31-12. "I didn't know how we'd react after the accident last week," head coach Robin Ersland said. "I was really concerned for those kinds of things but you know the guys, they're young enough to be resilient so I probably shouldn't have worried. They did a really good job of coming back, focusing on the match and doing a good job." After Anthony Battle (So., 125, Wahiawa, Hawaii) won the first match of the night by forfeit, senior co-captain Joshua Douglas (133, Kissimmee, Fla.) took the mat and got the Beavers an early 10-0 lead, taking his match 11-2 by major decision. "I was a little bit slow to start—gave up a quick takedown—but then reversed him and pretty much dominated the match after that," Douglas said. "I felt pretty good coming off the mat. I was able to pick up an extra team point by getting the major decision so I felt pretty good and I think that was a good start to the meet for us." The Beavers continued their dominance early on in the dual as Tanner Crissler (Fr., 141, Belcourt, N.D.) and Cody Haugen (Fr., 149, Minot, N.D.) recorded pins in the next two duals in their respective weight classes, giving the Beavers two wins by fall in the first five matches Thursday night. The Marauders picked up their first team points of the night when Paul Michaelson defeated Devin Combs (Fr., 157, Marianna, Fla.) in an 8-1 decision, but Jon Wilson (Sr., 174, Colorado Springs, Colo.) got the Beavers back on track in his match. Although Wilson had not faced live competition in over a week he managed to win a 15-10 decision over U-Mary's Kyle Schultz to give the Beavers a 25-6 lead going into the final three matches. Tobias Baker (Fr., 197, Sarasota, Fla.) picked up the final team points for the Beavers in the dual as he pinned Wyatt Smith in just 1:35 giving Minot State their third win by fall in the dual. Thursday's dual win marks the third consecutive victory for the Beavers in conference play dating back to last season when they defeated U-Mary on Feb. 7 and Northern State on Feb. 12 to end the season. Both Minot State and U-Mary will take a week to get healthy and practice before they take the mat against each other again, this time in Bismarck, N.D. The dual is set for Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. "I think the lineups will change," Ersland said. "I think they've got a couple guys that aren't in the lineup right now that will be in the lineup and obviously we want to get Ricard Avakovs back in our lineup. This give us another week to get Jon in shape. I think it'll be another tough match down there." Results: 125 – Anthony Battle won by forfeit (6-0) 133 – Josh Douglas, MSU, won by major decision over Hunter Menendez, 11-2 (10-0) 141 – Tanner Crissler, MSU, pinned Alec Lindsey, 4:17 (16-0) 149 – Cody Haugen, MSU, pinned Jered Keller, 1:39 (22-0) 157 – Paul Michaelson, U-Mary, def.

The Warhawks (7-0 overall, 3-0 WIAC) won all 10 matches to remain unbeaten on the season.

A total team effort keyed a milestone victory for the University of Wyoming wrestling team Thursday, as the Pokes won their 250th home dual in program history with a 34-0 shutout victory over Air Force. Wyoming (4-2 overall, 1-0 Western Wrestling Conference) put the clamps down on the Falcons early, rolling up wins in all 10 matches in the Western Wrestling Conference opener for both teams. Air Force (0-2 overall, 0-1 WWC) was held without a point in the contest, but did compete without two of its top wrestlers, No. 8 Josh Martinez (125 pounds) and 16th-ranked Jesse Stafford at 165. Winners of four-consecutive duals this season, including three shutouts, Wyoming now has won seven straight over Air Force and improves to 21-1 all-time against the Falcons in Laramie. "It wasn't necessarily flashy, and there were a lot of tough matches, which I expected there to be," UW head coach Mark Branch said. "I like that we're continuing to develop on top and we didn't have any major issues on bottom. Overall, a shutout against a conference foe is something you don't take for granted. I've been around long enough to know that shutouts don't come easy against anybody. What we're starting to see is more of a team effort. "I saw a lot of positive signs. I saw guys making better efforts on top, turning people and being aggressive. That's going to make us more of a complete team." A bonus-point win in the 125-pound bout began the evening on the right foot for UW. Senior Tyler Cox posted a 21-4 technical fall in the evening's opener to give UW a 5-0 lead, and the Pokes cruised from there.
