The No. 3 Peacocks opened their home schedule with a dual in Dorman Gym this evening against the Warriors of Waldorf College. After the Warriors picked up wins at 125, 157, 165 and 174 pounds to take a 13-12 lead, Upper Iowa put their hopes on the sturdy backs of their upper weights and the veteran crew of wrestlers responded with three pins to push the final margin to seventeen points, 30-13. Upper Iowa tied the dual at 133 pounds where Duane Richardson posted a controlled 4-0 decision thanks to a takedown in the first period, an escape and a ride time point. Blake Hilmer kept the momentum on the home team's side winning a 3-0 decision with a takedown and escape to put the Peacocks up 6-3. Jordan Rinken made the most of his first appearance in front of the home crowd posting an impressive win by fall. At the time of the fall (5:44) Rinken was ahead 18-5 and on the verge of more near fall points when he pinned Emmanuel Del Castillo's shoulders to the mat. After the fall, the Peacocks led the dual by a 12-3 count. The Warriors fought back with a major decision victory at 157 pounds and a pair of decisions at 165 and 174 to take a 13-12 lead with three matches remaing. The lead lasted a whopping 17 seconds as Mitch Schultz used a throw to put Steven DelGado on his back and record a pin just 17 seconds into the match. Not to be outdone, Carl Broghammer followed with a win by fall over Brock Binversie 2:17 into the first period and Zach Rosol closed out the night with a pin in the second period (3:44) against Jacob Combs. The UIU upper weights backed up their national recognition in preseason polls with impressive season debuts in Dorman. The Peacocks will now head west to the University of Northern Iowa this Satruday for the UNI Open before heading out to Indianapolis for the Midwest Classic on December 18-19.

ADA, Ohio -- Junior Mick Letcher and freshmen Michael Pawlitz and Cody Lovejoy each registered pins, leading No. 23-ranked Ohio Northern to a 38-7 victory over Mount Saint Joseph Tuesday night in a non-conference dual wrestling meet at the ONU Sports Center. The Polar Bears improve to 2-3, while the Lions fall to 1-1. Northern won eight of the 10 weight classes, including the first five of the night. Freshman Cole Cochran got ONU on the board first with a forfeit win at 125 pounds. Junior Jeremy Jones used a third period escape to post a 3-2 victory at 133 pounds to put ONU up 9-0. At the 141-pound weight class, sophomore Ryan Fowler had two 3-point near falls in the second period to take a 9-5 lead and went on to post a 10-6 decision, giving the Polar Bears a 12-0 advantage. Freshman Kyle Brezovec got a first period takedown and 3-point near fall and made it stand up, as he improved to 2-0 on the season with a 6-1 victory at 149 pounds, extending ONU's lead to 15-0. After an MSJ major decision at 157, Letcher improved to 2-0 on the year with a quick pin in 1:22 at 165 pounds and ONU's lead was 21-4. With the Polar Bears leading 21-7, junior All-American and No. 6-ranked Kyle Kwiat sealed the match for ONU with a tech fall victory at 184 pounds. Kwiat used three first period near falls to build an early 11-0 lead and won 17-0 in 6:00. Pawlitz remained undefeated at 5-0 and posted his fourth pin of the season, winning by fall at 3:59 at the 197-pound weight class. Lovejoy won by fall in 3:41 at heavyweight after leading 12-0 in the second period.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- Coe jumped out to a 36-0 lead, including an upset over the top-ranked wrestler in the country at 125 pounds, in a 42-3 win over Buena Vista Tuesday night. Coe tallied 107 points in the dual, while giving up just 19 to the Beavers. Sophomore Jimmy Gotto (Epworth, Iowa/Western Dubuque) kicked things off for the Kohawks at 125 pounds. In his first match as a full-time starter, replacing the graduated two-time National Champion Clayton Rush, Gotto upset No. 1-ranked Austin Mogg with a 9-5 decision. Gotto trailed 4-2 in the first period before getting a takedown in the final seconds to tie the match at the end of the period. Gotto scored the only points of the second period with a takedown. Mogg started the third period on the bottom and escaped, but a Gotto takedown ended the match. Senior Jordan Westfall (Riverside, Iowa/Highland) scored seven points in the first period and added eight more in the second for a 15-0 technical fall over Michael Berardesco at 133 pounds. Two-time returning national qualifier Chris LeClere (Coggon, Iowa/North-Linn) led 2-1 at the end of the first period, but scored five in the second and nine in the third for a 16-2 major decision over Steven Gustchenritter at 141 pounds. The Kohawks got back-to-back 15-0 technical falls from seniors James Locke (Minneapolis, Minn./South) and Dale Handley (Toddville, Iowa/Alburnett) at 149 and 157 pounds. Both matches ended in the second period, as both Locke and Handley recorded two three-point nearfalls in the first period. Senior Nick LeClere (Coggon, Iowa/North-Linn) recorded Coe's fourth technical fall of the night at 165 pounds with a 16-1 victory over Seth Shatto. LeClere recorded nearfall points in all three periods of the match. Coe's lead was extended to 36-0 at 174 pounds, as Scott King (Tipton, Iowa/Tipton) won by forfeit. Freshman Ryan Sheldon (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Kennedy) improved to 8-0 in his career with an 11-4 decision over Demetrius Heard at 184 pounds. In one of the most exciting matches of the night, freshman Donnie Horner (Blue Springs, Mo./Blue Springs) gave fifth-ranked Brian Broll all he could handle. After a scoreless first period, Horner scored the first points of the match on a reversal in the second period. Broll started the third period on the bottom and cut Horner's lead to 2-1 with an escape before taking a 3-2 lead on a takedown. Horner escaped and got a takedown of his own to take a 5-3 lead before Broll escaped again and took down Horner. Horner was able to escape, but couldn't get a final takedown late in the match, as Broll won 7-6 on riding time. At heavyweight, junior Alex Burkle (Coggon, Iowa/North-Linn) took a 4-0 lead on a takedown and two nearfall points before pinning Jacob Nelson in 1:40. Handley and Nick LeClere hit milestone wins on the night, as they both earned their 70th wins as a Kohawk. Handley, a 2010 national qualifier, is 70-35 in his career and has won seven-straight matches. LeClere, a two-time All-American and National Runner-Up last season, is now 70-13 in his career. The Kohawks return to action on Saturday, as they travel to the Simpson Invitational in Indianola.

Deep football runs impact winter sports Due to the way the fall and winter sports seasons align, when the football team makes a deep run in the state playoffs, it cuts into the winter sports season. In looking at things from a big picture perspective, come state tournament series time in February (or March), the impact will be virtually immaterial. Even with the deepest of playoff runs, winter sports participants will have had ample time to integrate and acclimate into the season, and prime themselves for state tournament glory. However, in the micro world of the national high school wrestling landscape, every single event and week is scrutinized from a ranking perspective. Additionally, many of the major big field events, which help to provide national ranking perspective, are held during the first month of the season. Even though, I try to account for varying circumstances with respect to personnel in analyzing results, it is an imperfect process. Non-performance, or the failure to capitalize in key events, can impact the national team rankings. Here is a look at how some of the top wrestling programs football success have impacted the present wrestling season, and/or could have thrown even a greater dent into things. No. 2 St. Edward, Ohio saw its football team eliminated from the playoffs on Nov. 12 in the second round. Given a week off for transition, wrestlers on the football team will have two full weeks of practice before the season opening competitions, and three weeks for the Ironman. If the defending state champions on the gridiron had reached the state final again this year, they would have been playing that game this coming weekend. With two nationally ranked wrestlers -- No. 11 Domenic Abounader (182) and No. 7 Greg Kuhar (285) -- on the football team, one would not have seen them in the wrestling lineup for this coming weekend or Ironman. No. 17 Allen, Texas, had its football team eliminated from the playoffs on Nov. 19 in the second round. Headed into the Class 5A Division 1 playoffs, the Eagles were a nationally ranked squad. If they had reached the state final, this game would have been played on Dec. 15. Those wrestlers on the football team would have been out of the picture for all December competition (Mid-America Nationals and Kansas City Wrestling Classic most notably); and only had two weeks of practice, after a presumed week off for transition, headed into the Cheesehead Invitational in early January. Key wrestlers that also play football include No. 9 Oliver Pierce (160), two-time state champion Nick Cobb (195), and state placer Shane Drulman (220). No. 26 Pittsburgh Central Catholic, Pa., had its football team eliminated from the playoffs on Nov. 18 in the third round. A state championship game for the Vikings football squad, which was nationally ranked, would have been played on Dec. 17. That date also happens to be the first day of the Beast of the East; therefore, those wrestlers on the football team would have missed the Ironman, Beast of the East, and in all reality the POWERade at the end of December as well. Impacted wrestlers would have included No. 13 Perry Hills (195) and returning POWERade placer Zach DeLuca (285). No. 30 Montini Catholic, Ill., saw its football team finish off a state championship campaign in Class 5A (there are 8 football classifications in Illinois) this past weekend. Even though the Broncos did not feature a nationally ranked wrestler among their football-wrestling dual sport participants, they are significantly impacted. The back four wrestlers in their lineup were all contributors to that state championship team -- Anthony Ferraro (182), David Sarkan (195), Edgar Ruano (220), and Jaleel Johnson (285). The Broncos have a potentially key dual meet scheduled for this coming weekend against Marist, Ill., and travel to Ohio for the Walsh Ironman next weekend; and will most likely do so without those four projected starters. Brian Murphy (Photo/Dave Jedlicka, jedicheetah.com)No. 34 Glenbard North, Ill., was eliminated in the Class 8A (big-school division) state semifinals on Nov. 19. The Illinois wrestling season started this past weekend, and coach Mark Hahn started the season without the services of some key wrestlers that were on the football team. In so doing, the Panthers were upended in dual meets by Lincoln Way East and Minooka this past Wednesday before an underwhelming second-place finish at the Conant Invitational on the weekend. Accounting for a week of transition, those wrestlers will have two weeks of practice under their belts before traveling to Brandon, Fla., on Dec. 9 and 10 for a two-day tournament. Impacted wrestlers include at minimum No. 3 Brandon Murphy (152) and Mario Rodriguez (145-160). Huskies with big weekend haul at Conant The 32nd Annual Chris Hruska Wrestling Classic hosted by Conant High School just outside of Chicago, Ill., had its bevy of stars dominating the show. Foremost among the stars was the performance of No. 32 Oak Park River Forest, Ill., making a statement against a tough opening weekend tournament field. The Huskies were led by championship performances from Jake O'Mara (138) and No. 3 Sam Brooks (182) among 12 placing wrestlers on the way to scoring 270 team points. Of the ten other Huskies place winners, seven lost just once on the weekend in finishing second or third. Runner-up finishes came from Larry Early (126), Emonte Logan (220), and Marq Brumant (285); while Colin Rogers (145), Devonte Mahomes (152), Michael Woulfe (160), and Joe Ariola (170) earned third place finishes. Brooks was one of three high profile wrestlers to earn tournament titles with four falls on the weekend. For Brooks, those four falls came within the first two periods after earning a 21-4 technical fall in his first round match. At 195 pounds, No. 4 Gage Harrah of Crystal Lake Central, Ill., was on the mat for all of 1:17, earning four falls in blitzing his way to a Hruska Classic championship. Finally at 220 pounds, No. 1 Josh Marchok of Schaumburg, Ill., also had four first period falls on the way to a title; his falls came in a combined 3:44. Finishing second place in the team standings was No. 34 Glenbard North, Ill., with 178-1/2 points. As described above, the Panthers were short-handed due to their football team's state semifinal appearance; but it still would not have been enough to upend the Huskies. The sole championship for Glenbard North came from No. 5 (at 120) Jered Cortez up at 126 pounds. Eight other Panthers placed, three of them either second or third, and another three earning fourth place. Chris Gonzales (120) took home a second place finish, while Richard Browne (113) and Jon Marmolejo (132) each earned third place. Other weight class champions were Wayne Yuan (106) from Naperville North, Ill.; Aaron Kohlberg (113) and Joe Caprio (170) from Rolling Meadows, Ill.; No. 10 (at 113) Matt Garrelli from Oak Park Fenwick, Ill., winning at 120; No. 8 Eddie Klimara (132) from Providence Catholic, Ill.; Jake O'Mara (138) from Oak Park River Forest, Ill.; Eddie Gonzalez (145) from Meta Valley, Ill.; Tim Noverini (152) from St. Charles North, Ill.; Feral Sewara (160) from Lake Park, Ill.; and James Buss (285) from De La Salle, Ill..

Wrestlers are Warriors' Tony Rotundo sat down for a Q&A with Cal Poly's new head coach Brendan Buckley to talk about his transition from Columbia, his role in helping to keep wrestling alive in California at the D1 level, and working with his new coaching staff Jamill Kelly and Mitch Monteiro. Brendan Buckley is in his first season as head coach at Cal Poly (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)You have history in California as a wrestler and a coach, has that made your transition from Columbia to Cal Poly any easier? Buckley: Having a history in California as a college athlete and a coach has certainly boded well for me and the program. While it has been some time since I lived in California I never really lost touch with the West Coast since many of my closest friends still live out here and many of these same people are currently coaches and very involved in the California Wrestling community. Your wrestling career has taken you across the country a few times, do you think to be a successful athlete and coach in wrestling that's just part of the sport, to go where opportunities open up? Buckley: I believe so. As a result of my own personal experiences of traveling across the country to find opportunities, I learned a lot about myself and became incredibly well-rounded as a result. To be able to express this experience and sell this to our recruits, I consider myself fortunate to have a unique perspective on this. To further elaborate on your question, wrestling is unfortunately not offered in many parts of the country so for high school athletes and college coaches to remain in the sport, it is essential that wrestlers have the ability to plan new roots where the opportunities are. Have you had to make any adjustments as a coach either in style or demeanor moving from the East Coast and an Ivy League school, to the West Coast and a California state university? Do you tweak your approach with the kids depending on the feedback you get from them? Buckley: You know, I feel strongly that there are certain attitudes and behaviors that lead to success and in my opinion, it does not matter whether you are at a high school, a junior college or a PAC 12 school or Ivy League school. Hard work and a steadfast commitment to achieve one's goals are the only path to success. That being said, some people are motivated differently and it is our job as coaches to find out from each athlete the different ways to motivate them. Our ability to figure this out will come as a result of our learning as much as we can from them and getting to know them on a personal level. Things are indeed different here as are the wrestlers but they are much more similar than they are different.

(Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)How are things working out with your assistant coach Olympic silver medalist Jamill Kelly? How did he become your assistant coach, were you friends prior to teaming up at Poly? Buckley: Jamill was a huge catch for us and has been a great boost to the Cal Poly Wrestling program. I was lucky to know Jamill for several years now since he was close with one of my good friends and former Fresno State teammate (and Iowa State Asst Coach), Yero Washington. We were also in the Ivy League and EIWA together as coaches with me being at Columbia and Jamill at Harvard. Jamill is a great guy, a terrific teacher, and relates well to everyone on our team. As I said in his press release, to have someone with as successful a background as his and to have California roots, well, it was a slam dunk for us. And how about the addition of Mitch Monteiro … Buckley: We had been looking for a strong upper-weight coach for a few months after I arrived and little did we know, Mitch Monteiro was under our nose the entire time. An NCAA All-American (fifth in 2010) for Cal State Bakersfield and he was living and working a mere 25 minutes from Cal Poly's campus. Once I learned he was looking to get into college coaching, we called him immediately to get him in our room and working with our upper-weights. Mitch has a great presence and has already made a positive impact on our team. As more DI schools drop wrestling around the country, and especially in California, do you feel any responsibility to help keep the sport alive on college campuses in California? Was that something you knew would fall partially on your shoulders in advance of taking the position at Poly? Buckley: The first thing I want to say in regard to this question addresses the irrational fear that many seem to have about the “Entire” West Coast Wrestling Community and in particular, Cal Poly Wrestling. I was at Columbia University for 11 years. A program that I took great pride in elevating to become a nationally ranked program for the first time in its history, and one of the better teams in the EIWA Conference. As a result of our success on the mat and a great deal of effort in the areas of alumni development and fundraising, we were able to not only significantly increase our annual donations by 300% but also endow two of the three coaching positions with multi-million dollar gifts ($3.25 in total) from a few of our generous alumni. Furthermore, my wife, Julia had a terrific job as a clinical psychologist in New York and was not in any hurry to leave her job either. It is important I express this so the wrestling community understands that I did not leave Columbia on some leap of faith. Then I came to Cal Poly for my interview, I made it clear I was not looking to leave for just any position nor was I in any hurry to leave unless it was a good fit, a secure program, as well as a job that I had had my eye on. Well, Cal Poly just happened to be all of those. After meeting the new director of athletics, Don Oberhelman and hearing his vision for the future of the Cal Poly Wrestling program, I felt very comfortable with the direction he wanted the program to go as well as the security of the program. I asked a lot of questions with particular attention in the areas of fundraising and alumni development as I felt strongly that we could bolster the efforts that the previous staff had worked on. That and the fact that he gave me a four year contract, something many people may not be aware of. At this point, I felt the time and the place were a good fit and so I decided it was time to take on a new challenge. Newark Memorial's Victor Pereira (North Coast Section, California) projects at 157/165 pounds at Cal Poly (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)Congratulations on signing some promising student-athletes from around the country including Blake Kastl out of Graham, Ohio, and Victor Pereira from Newark Memorial in Northern California. Of the East Coast kids that you've signed were they known to you from the recruiting you were doing at Columbia, or are you recruiting equally from around the country? Buckley: We were very happy to sign several premiere in-state recruits in Blake Kastl (currently at St. Paris Graham but originally from Gilroy, Ca) and Vic Perreira, as well as Connor King -although he is originally from Colorado- and Justin Walker. As for Devon Lotito and Colt Shorts from Pennsylvania, I began communicating with them while I was at Columbia and am real excited to open up the door to kids from Pennsylvania and the the entire country. For many of the nation's recruits, they have no idea just how beautiful it is here on the Central Coast and (on our campus) until they come here and see it with their own eyes. You are coming into a program with a potential NCAA champion in Boris Navochkov (141) and two potential All-Americans in Ryan DesRoches (174) and Ryan Smith (197)? Do you feel more pressure about making an immediate impact and having success from the start because you have stepped into a program with that caliber of talent in the room, or is that just a challenge to hit the mat running from day one? Buckley: I consider it a great opportunity to come into a program with three marquis wrestlers, especially considering Boris is a returning NCAA Finalist. We still do have our work cut out for us as all three of them are graduating seniors. This is why it is vitally important for us to develop the younger wrestlers on our team as well as to consistently recruit the nation's best wrestlers. Cal Poly's Boris Navochkov was an NCAA runner-up in 2011 (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)You are taking over a program from a very well respected coach in John Azevedo, did you know Coach Azevedo prior to your interviews at Cal Poly? Is Coach Azevedo still around the team in an advisory role? Buckley: I knew Coach Azevedo prior to coming to Cal Poly but not very well. When I was doing my research on the job and the program, John was incredibly helpful and supportive. Furthermore, my first month or so on the job, I would call him with an occasional question or two and I know he will always be a strong advocate and supportive of the Cal Poly Wrestling program. You have a really great rapport with your student athletes, does that come naturally to you? Are you at home in a wrestling room and teaching student athletes how to become champions? Buckley: One of my most enjoyable parts of my job is getting to know the student-athletes on the team and helping them on their journey to be successful in all that they do and long after they graduate. Some of my closest friends are guys that I coached at all of the schools where I have coached. To have these same guys that I coached over the years attend my wedding last year in New York meant a great deal to me and I hope I can continue to develop these same types of relationships here at Cal Poly. Thanks for your time, Coach. Is there anything else you'd like to add? Buckley: Thanks for giving me the opportunity to discuss the Cal Poly Wrestling program!

AMES, Iowa -- The 11th-ranked Oklahoma wrestling squad picked up its second Big 12 victory after defeating Iowa State, 22-13, at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. The Sooners (3-0, 2-0) handed the Cyclones (0-5, 0-2) their fifth straight loss after taking the first five bouts of the night and tallying three decisions, two major decisions and one technical fall. Jarrod Patterson, a junior from Cushing, Okla., gave OU its first bonus points of the day after scoring a major decision victory over ISU's 12th-ranked Ryak Finch, 10-0. Patterson earned a takedown and five points off nearfalls in the first period. The No. 4 125 pounder in the country, Patterson, added a reversal in the second and posted 1:06 of riding time. At 133 pounds OU's 14th-ranked Jordan Keller downed the Cyclones Shayden Terukina, 8-3. Keller fought for a takedown in the first period and added two more in the bout. Terukina had one takedown and an escape. OU got its second bonus point when 141-pounder Kendric Maple, ranked No. 8, routed Iowa State's Luke Goetti, 13-5. In the bout, Maple had five takedowns, a reversal and 2:23 of riding time to coast to victory. In duals this year Maple has earned bonus points in each of his bouts. Leading 11-0, OU's No. 14-ranked Nick Lester added a technical fall win over ISU's Joey Cozart at 149 pounds. Lester took a 4-0 lead into the second period where he had a takedown and nine points off nearfalls. He closed out the scoring with an escape 0:17 into the third period. Matt Lester became the fifth-straight Sooner to earn a win in the dual after he downed Michael Moreno of Iowa State, 9-5. Trailing 2-1 in the second, Lester reversed Moreno but was penalized for locking hands. With the score knotted at three in the third, Moreno reversed Lester who then returned the favor and reversed Moreno 0:36 later. Lester pulled a 3-point nearfall to earn the win. ISU's Andrew Sorenson, ranked No. 5 among 165 pounders, gave the Cyclones their first points of the dual after he posted an 11-1 major decision victory over Oklahoma's Bubby Graham. The 174 pound bout pitted OU's Chase Nelson against the Cyclones 10th-ranked Chris Spangler. Spangler jumped out to an early 7-2 lead after the first period but Nelson came storming back. In the third, Nelson had two takedowns and trailed by 2-points when Spangler was penalized for stalling which gave Nelson a point; however, the match ended seconds later with a final of 12-11. The 184 pound bout had OU's Erich Schmidtke, No. 17, squaring off against ISU's 15th-ranked Boaz Beard. The bout was tied 3-3 after a Schmidtke escape to begin the third period, but Beard pulled away with a takedown and stalling point that went against the Sooner. Junior Keldrick Hall earned the Sooners final win of the match after he defeated ISU's Kyven Gadson, ranked No. 13, by a 6-1 decision. In the bout, Hall had three takedowns and two escapes. In the heavyweight bout, the Cyclones Matt Gibson, No. 18, ousted OU's Elijah Madison, 8-2.

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Four bonus point victories helped pace the No. 13 Missouri wrestling team's 26-9 win over No. 25 Stanford on Sunday afternoon. The victory was the team's second win of the weekend over a ranked opponent, as they improve to 3-1 on the dual season. Back-to-back major decisions by sophomore No. 15 Kyle Bradley and redshirt freshman Drake Houdashelt jump-started the Missouri squad. Starting at 149 pounds, the first time this year Mizzou hasn't started at 125, Bradley pitched an 8-0 shutout against Stanford's Timmy Boone. He went up 4-0 in the first with a takedown and a two-point nearfall, rode Boone out in the second and added an escape, another takedown and riding time in the third. It was the first win of the year for Bradley, who dropped his first three contests of the season to nationally-ranked wrestlers. Houdashelt improved to 3-1 in his first year as a starter with a 19-6 major decision over Josh Lauderdale. The Tiger jumped out to an 8-4 lead after a wild first period that saw four takedowns by Houdashelt. He cut Lauderdale three times, while Lauderdale also picked up a penalty point. Houdashelt added three points with an escape and takedown in the second to extend his lead to 11-4. In the third, Houdashelt hit two takedowns, was awarded a point when Lauderdale fled the mat and put Lauderdale on his back for a near fall to get the team bonus points. At 165, No. 13 Zach Toal made it three straight for Mizzou with a 6-2 win over Bret Baumbach. Baumbach got the first takedown of the day for the Cardinal to take an early 2-0 lead, but Toal would reverse him to end the first. Toal rode Baumbach out in the second, and after starting down in the third, quickly escaped and scored another takedown to go with his riding time, putting the Tigers up 11-0. The most anticipated match of the day came at 174, as No. 5 Dorian Henderson went up against No. 1 Nick Amuchastegui. The two were scoreless after the first, but Amuchastegui hit a takedown in the second to take the lead. He escaped in the third period to go up 3-0, which is how the match would end as the top-ranked 174-pounder put the Cardinal on the board and handed Henderson his first loss of the year. In front of his hometown crowd, junior Mike Larson pulled out a 5-1 win over Spence Patrick. The two were scoreless heading to the third period, where Larson worked an escape and scored the only takedown of the match to go up 3-0. Larson cut Patrick to make it 3-1, but Patrick was hit with his second stall warning of the contest. Larson accumulated 2:19 in riding time after riding out Patrick in the second. No.12 Brent Haynes improved Mizzou's lead to 17-3 with a 5-3 decision at 197 pounds over Richard Kessler. Kessler scored the first takedown of the match to take the early lead, but Haynes escaped before the end of the first to cut the lead to 2-1. In the second, Haynes escaped after starting down and then took the lead with a takedown. A Kessler escape made it 4-3 in Haynes' favor heading to the third, where Haynes rode out Kessler for the entire frame, giving him the riding time advantage. Stanford's second win of the day came at heavyweight, as Dan Scherer pulled out a tight 3-1 victory over Mizzou's Devin Mellon. Tied 1-1 late in the third, Scherer came up with a takedown after a great scramble to pull out the win. Sophomore Alan Waters scored his second technical fall in as many matches with a 24-7 win over Matt Sencenbaugh to extend Missouri's lead to 22-6. Waters dominated Sencenbaugh, scoring six takedowns, nine points in near fall and a reversal, getting the win in just 4:09 to move to 2-0 on the season. The two were tied at 3-3 early in the first, but Waters scored nine points before the end of the period to take complete control. No. 13 Nathan McCormick dropped his first match of the year, losing a tough 9-5 decision to No. 5 Ryan Mango. Each wrestler scored a takedown and escape in the first period to make it 3-3. McCormick had a chance to take the lead late in the first as he was in deep on a shot, but couldn't finish it off. Mango started down in the second and escaped and took McCormick down again to make it 6-3. He landed a third takedown in the final period to go with 1:04 in riding time, giving him the win. Closing out the day at 141 pounds, senior Brandon Wiest finished the match for the Tigers just as they started it, scoring a 14-4 major decision over Donovan Halpin. Wiest took a 4-1 lead into the second period after two early takedowns in the first. He'd hit three more takedowns on the match, giving up just three escapes to Halpin, while also securing 1:58 in riding time for his second win on the year. Missouri will take a brief break from dual action next weekend as the team will head to St. Louis for the Kaufman/Brand Open on Sunday, Dec. 4. Their next dual match will be on Friday, Dec. 9 against No. 23 Kent State. For more information, stay tuned to mutigers.com or check out the Mizzou Wrestling Twitter page, @MizzouWrestling.

North Dakota State at Minnesota (11/27)

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Facing a hostile crowd and a loud environment, the 15th-ranked Virginia Tech wrestling team won the last two matches to come back and beat 22nd-ranked Virginia 18-13 Sunday in a wild dual meet at John Paul Jones Arena. It was the first dual meet at JPJ and the intensity and excitement more than lived up to the billing. The action was wild from the beginning as Tech's Ty Mitch led No. 9 Matt Snyder for most of regulation, but got ridden out for the third period to give Snyder the riding time point. After a scoreless sudden victory period, Snyder got a pair of escapes and held off a late surge by Mitch to hold on for the 9-8 victory in the tiebreaker. At 133 pounds, seventh-ranked Devin Carter took care of business with an 11-5 win over a scrappy Matt Nelson to tie it up. Eighteenth-ranked Nick Nelson of Virginia earned an 10-5 win over Zach Neibert at 141 pounds and then UVa's Shawn Harris held off several late scrambles to beat Chris Mears, 5-3, at 149 pounds. The Hokies got three points back when Jesse Dong, ranked fifth in the country at 157 pounds, scored eight unanswered points to beat Jedd Moore, 8-2. Pete Yates, ranked 14th in the country at 165 pounds, picked up a workmanlike 8-2 win over Nick Sulzer to tie the match up at 9-9 with four bouts left. Tech took the lead when Chris Moon won a swing match with Billy Coggins at 174 pounds, picking up a pair of takedowns in the 5-1 win. Virginia took the lead back when 14th-ranked Jon Fausey earned an 11-3 major decision over John Dickson at 184 pounds to bring the crowd back into it. With two bouts left, 16th-ranked Nick Vetterlein got a key takedown in the first period and held on for a 5-3 win over Ryan Malo at 197 pounds to give the Hokies the 15-13 lead with just one match left. It then all came down to the heavyweights: Chris Penny for Tech and Ethan Hayes for Virginia. Penny, who was scheduled to redshirt this year but had to wrestle because of injury, got a takedown in the second period to take a 2-1 lead. Tied at 2-2 heading to the third period, Hayes turned Penny to his back for two nearfall points, but Penny escaped to cut it to a 4-3 lead for Hayes. With the crowd in a frenzy, Penny got a takedown on the edge with 11 seconds left to seemingly seal the win, but Hayes quickly escaped to tie it up and send it to sudden victory. There, Penny got in on a leg and converted the takedown to win the bout and the team match as well as the crowd stood in appreciation of both teams' effort. The Hokies have now won the last six dual meets against the Cavaliers to take a 39-32-1 edge in the all-time series with UVa. The win marked the Hokies' 16th-straight ACC dual meet win. With the wrestling team winning, it marked a weekend sweep of the Cavaliers for Virginia Tech Athletics. The volleyball team won 3-2 on Friday and the football team won 38-0 on Saturday. All three contests were in Charlottesville. Tech (2-1) will be back in action on Thursday in their home opener against Appalachian State at 7 p.m. inside Cassell Coliseum.

Garcia scored on a first-period takedown. Owen Wilkinson (Hartland, Mich./Hartland) continued his early season tear and pinned his way into the championship bout. Three straight pins (1:36, 2:02 & 5:46) set up a title-bout with 2011 All-American Derek Valenti, who was wrestling unattached (UVA) today. Wilkinson was edged 3-2 in the finals. Bobby Rehm Lancaster, Pa./Penn Manor), Jake Kemerer (Greensburg, Pa./Hempfield) and Harry Turner (Howell, N.J./Howell) all took third for Lock Haven today.

TROY, N.Y. -- Binghamton wresting (6-0) rolled to four wins at the Journeymen Northeast Duals at Hudson Valley Community College on Saturday, tying the school record for consecutive wins to start a season. The Bearcats defeated Purdue (24-15), Army (20-13), Arizona State (28-15) and Eastern Michigan (22-12) to equal the start set by the 1979-80 squad. Binghamton won six bouts against Big Ten member Purdue, which like BU is “receiving votes” in the latest NWCA/USA Today poll and returns an All-American and four NCAA qualifiers. The biggest win was recorded by junior 149-pound No. 10 Donnie Vinson, who dismantled the nation's sixth-ranked wrestler, Ivan Lopouchanski, 18-2 in a technical fall. Vinson went 4-0 on the day with the tech fall and two major decisions. He improved to 9-1 overall, 6-0 in duals. Senior 157-pound Justin Lister, No. 6 in the Intermat poll, also went 4-0. Lister pinned his Purdue opponent in 3:33 and added another pin - in 6:57 against Arizona State. He is 10-1 overall, 6-0 in duals. Sophomore 197-pound Cody Reed also went 4-0, earning a major decision against Purdue and three other decisions. He is 7-1 overall. “It was a great day for our program,” sixth-year head coach Pat Popolizio said. “The Purdue win was the biggest dual win in my tenure here and one of the biggest in program history. Our guys showed a lot of fight and will ... we won almost every close match and everyone really stepped up. I couldn't be more proud of the guys and the direction we are headed.

Third-ranked Minnesota hosts North Dakota state today at 2 p.m. CT at the Sports Pavilion in Minneapolis. InterMatWrestle.com is providing a live chat to follow along and interact during the dual meet. Below is a weight by weight preview of today's dual meet. Lineups are subject to change. 125: No. 7 Trent Sprenkle (North Dakota State) vs. No. 2 Zach Sanders (Minnesota) This is the premier matchup of the dual meet as it features two wrestlers ranked in the top 10. Sanders, a three-time All-American who is ranked No. 2, has three wins against Sprenkle over the past two seasons. The last two have been major decision victories for Sanders, with the most recent coming earlier this month at the Bison Open. Sanders has looked sharp in the early part of the season. Prediction: Sanders by maj. dec. (Minnesota +4) 133: Justin Solberg (North Dakota State) vs. No. 6 David Thorn (Minnesota) Thorn, who is ranked sixth, has been on a tear in the early part of the season, going 6-0 with bonus points in five of the six victories. Thorn pinned Solberg in the semifinals of the Bison Open. Solberg has a respectable 9-6 record this season, but will be overmatched against Thorn. Prediction: Thorn by pin (Minnesota +6) 141: Tyler Diamond (North Dakota State) vs. No. 13 Nick Dardanes (Minnesota) Dardanes, a redshirt freshman, has already gone through some growing pains in his first month as a starter for the Gophers. He led 6-2 heading into the final period in a critical match against Cornell, only to get turned twice and give the match away. He bounced back two days later and looked impressive in a dominating 19-6 victory against Penn State. Diamond, a junior college transfer, has posted a 7-3 record this season. One of his losses came to Dardanes' backup, Seth Lange, 10-3, at the Bison Open. (He came back to pin Lange last weekend at the Finn Grinaker Open.) Prediction: Dardanes by tech. fall (Minnesota +5) 149: Mark Erickson (North Dakota State) vs. No. 13 Dylan Ness (Minnesota) or Matt Mincey Ness, like Dardandes, has gone through some growing pains in the early part of his redshirt freshman season. He dominated the Bison Open earlier this month before dropping a match against Cornell last Friday. Two days later after losing to Cornell, he fell to top-ranked Frank Molinaro, 16-10, but opened some eyes by taking down Molinaro two times in the final 30 seconds of the match. There is a chance the Gophers could rest Ness and send out Matt Mincey. Erickson has a nice 12-3 record, but has not faced someone of Ness' caliber this season. One of his three losses came to Mincey, 7-3, at the Bison Open. Prediction: Ness by pin (Minnesota + 6) 157: No. 17 Steven Monk (North Dakota State) vs. No. 9 Jake Deitchler (Minnesota) This is one of two matches (along with 125) pitting ranked wrestlers against each other. Both Monk and Deitchler have competed well in the early part of the season, going a combined 12-2. The two met in the finals of the Bison Open, with Deitchler coming out on top in sudden victory, 7-5. Monk led 5-1 in that match before Deitchler scored six unanswered points. Deitchler's only loss this season has come to two-time NCAA champion Kyle Dake of Cornell, while Monk's only loss is to Deitchler. Prediction: Deitchler by dec. (Minnesota +3) 165: Tyler Johnson (North Dakota State) vs. No. 8 Cody Yohn (Minnesota) Yohn, a two-time NCAA qualifier, has started the season 4-1, with his only loss coming to top-ranked David Taylor of Penn State last Sunday. He had a solid win against tough freshman Marshall Peppelman of Cornell two days before his loss to Taylor. Johnson is coming off a third-place finish at the Finn Grinaker Open, where he lost his first match before reeling off four consecutive wins. Yohn and Johnson met twice last season, with Yohn coming out on top in both meetings by scores of 7-6 and 7-3. Prediction: Yohn by dec. (Minnesota +3) 174: Kurtis Julson (North Dakota State) vs. Alec Ortiz (Minnesota) or No. 8 Logan Storley Julson, a Minnesota native, is off to a strong start this season. He has placed in the top three in three open tournaments this season. He was third at the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open, won the Bison Open, and finished runner-up at the Finn Grinaker Open. Ortiz has been called upon to start for the Gophers while true freshman Logan Storley recovers from an injury he suffered at the Bison Open. Ortiz competed at 157 pounds at the beginning of the season, so he comes in as an undersized 174-pounder. Prediction: Julson by dec. (NDSU +3) 184: Mac Stoll (North Dakota State) vs. No. 5 Kevin Steinhaus (Minnesota) Steinhaus is coming of a weekend in which he faced two returning All-Americans and had mixed results. He was dominated by Cornell's Steve Bosak, 8-2, but bounced back two days later and handled NCAA champion and top-ranked Quentin Wright of Penn State, 6-1. Stoll is off to a nice start this season. He is 9-3, with his only losses coming Steinhaus, seventh-ranked Ryan Loder of Northern Iowa, and fourth-ranked (Division II) Derek Skala of St. Cloud State. Prediction: Steinhaus by pin (Minnesota +6) 197: John Gusewelle (North Dakota State) vs. No. 3 Sonny Yohn (Minnesota) Yohn, a two-time All-American, has a 5-1 record this season. His only loss came to No. 1-ranked Cam Simaz of Cornell. Last Sunday he won a crucial match against Penn State's Morgan McIntosh, who is ranked 10th, which helped propel the Gophers to a 23-14 victory over the Nittany Lions. Gusewelle is 9-6 this season and placed at both the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open and Bison Open. One of his losses came to Yohn's backup, Scott Schiller, 9-2, at the Bison Open. Prediction: Yohn by technical fall (Minnesota +5) 285: Evan Knutson (North Dakota State) vs. No. 3 Tony Nelson (Minnesota) Nelson, who is coming off an All-American finish as a freshman, has shined in the early part of the season for the Gophers. He is currently 6-0 with bonus points in four matches. Nelson's most notable win came over Big Ten champion Cameron Wade of Penn State, 5-0, in his last match. He also has a win over Division II national champion Matt Meuleners of Northern State. Knutson, a freshman, has started the season 13-2. He finished third at both the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open and Bison Open, and captured a title last weekend at the Finn Grinaker Open in the Gold division. Nelson pinned Knutson at the Bison Open. Prediction: Nelson by Pin (Minnesota +6) Predicted Dual Meet Score: Minnesota 44, North Dakota State 3

TROY, N.Y. - The No. 12 Maryland wrestling team (6-0) won 25 of 30 matches and junior Josh Asper and redshirt sophomore Christian Boley remained undefeated as the Terps picked up three wins over No. 21 Central Michigan, Bucknell and Northern Iowa at the Northeast Duals on Saturday. It is the first time in program history the Terps went undefeated at the Northeast Duals. Asper, the second-rated wrestler at 165 pounds, improved to 10-0 with three wins including a pin of Bucknell's Doug Kellermeyer while Boley, ranked 20th at 197 pounds, earned two decision victories and a major decision to bring his season mark to 9-0. "Today was a good day for our program," said head coach Kerry McCoy. "The most impressive thing about today was the number of bonus-point wins we had. We have been emphasizing scoring points and it showed today. We have a little time to think about the good and bad from the weekend, but we will be focusing on next week very soon." Senior Kyle John, ranked 16th at 157 pounds, won all three of his matches Saturday afternoon including a technical fall over Malcolm Martin of Central Michigan. Redshirt sophomore No. 17 Jimmy Sheptock improved to 6-1 with a major decision victory and a decision. No. 21 Central Michigan provided Saturday's stiffest test for the Terps in the final dual meet of the afternoon. The Chippewas gained an early 6-0 lead after winning two decisions at 125 and 133 pounds. But sophomore Frank Goodwin cut the Chippewas' lead to 6-4 with an 11-0 major decision over Scott Mattingly at 141 pounds. Redshirt sophomore Ben Dorsay followed Goodwin with a decision over Joey Kielbasa at 149 pounds to give the Terps the lead at 7-6. John pushed the Maryland lead to six points with a technical fall over Malcolm Martin. Asper earned a major decision and Sheptock won a decision to increase the Terrapin lead to 19-6. At 184 pounds, Central Michigan closed the gap with a pin, but Boley clinched the dual with a major decision over Chad Friend. The Terps began the day against Bucknell. The contest was never in question as Maryland won all 10 matches en route to a 40-0 victory. Sophomore Shane Gentry opened the dual with a major decision over Austin Miller at 125 pounds. Following a decision for freshman Geoffrey Alexander at 133 pounds, freshman Lou Mascola put the Terps up 13-0 with a pin of Alex Pellicciotti at 141 pounds. Asper pinned Kellermeyer to increase Maryland's advantage to 27-0 after back-to-back major decision victories for Dorsay and John, and the Terps closed the dual with a major decision for Sheptock and three victories by decision. Maryland won the first seven matches, and nine of 10, to defeat Northern Iowa 37-6 in the second dual meet. The first three matches went to the Terps via major decision. After missing the Terrapin Duals and Brockport/Oklahoma Invitational due to injury, Goodwin earned his first victory of the season over Seth Noble to increase Maryland's lead to 12-0. Dorsay and John earned a decision and major decision, respectively, before Asper defeated Riley Banach 24-0 to give the Terps a 24-0 advantage. Sophomore Spencer Myers, ranked sixth at 285 pounds, closed the dual with a major decision over Ryan Juach.

TROY, N.Y. -- The tenth-ranked Lehigh wrestling team went undefeated at the Northeast Duals for the first time in its five trips to the event as the Mountain Hawks won all three of their duals Saturday at Hudson Valley Community College. Five Mountain Hawks went 3-0 on the day including freshman Mason Beckman and junior Robert Hamlin who did so without the aid of a win by forfeit. Lehigh opened the day by downing Arizona State 24-10 before taking down Purdue 32-9. The Mountain Hawks benefitted from three forfeit wins in closing out the day with a 27-17 win over North Carolina to move to 4-2 on the dual season. “The guys fought really hard,” said Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro. “We had some guys wrestle up but they fought hard the whole time and that's what we wanted to see today, guys fighting hard in the third period. We won a lot of tight matches. It's a step in the right direction but we have a long way to go.” On a day when Lehigh went a combined 0-6 at 133 and 141, Beckman managed to give Lehigh three solid starts with three victories. Beckman's most impressive performance of the day was a 10-2 major decision over Purdue's Camden Eppert where he scored a first period takedown and two two-point near falls to build an early 6-1 lead. In Saturday's opener against Arizona State, Lehigh used back-to-back one point victories to take control of the dual. Senior Kyle Rosser rallied to top Joel Smith 8-7 at 149 while senior Brian Tanen added 5-4 decision over Kyle DeBerry at 157 to give Lehigh a 9-7 lead over the Sun Devils at the halfway point. Senior Brandon Hatchett had three bonus point wins on the day, opening with an impressive 21-6 technical fall over Hans Rasmusson at 165. Freshman Nate Brown followed with a thrilling sudden victory win over Eric Starks as 174. Tied 1-1 after nine minutes of wrestling, Brown took Starks down to his back for two plus a two-point near fall to win 5-1 in the second sudden victory period. Hamlin and senior Joe Kennedy helped clinch the dual with wins at 184 and 197 respectively, but the celebration hit a snag when top-ranked senior Zach Rey was upset 5-1 by 11th-ranked Levi Cooper at heavyweight. Rey led 1-0 in the third period when Cooper reversed him onto his back for five points. Rey fought off a potential fall but dropped a 5-1 decision in his first dual meet loss since the 2009-10 season. In its second dual of the day, Lehigh won the final seven bouts in an impressive 32-9 win over Purdue. Trailing 9-4 after three bouts, junior Shane Welsh stepped in at 149 and gave Lehigh the lead with a fall in 2:31 against Frankie Porras. Tanen followed with his second win of the day and Hatchett added win by major decision to help extend the Lehigh lead. Brown and Hamlin added wins by decision, and after a Boilermaker forfeit to Kennedy at 197, Rey bounced back with an 8-3 win over Roger Vukobratovich to close out Lehigh's second win of the day, breaking open a 3-3 match with a takedown and two-point near fall in the third period. In its final dual, Lehigh was challenged by an undermanned North Carolina squad, but prevailed with help from Tar Heel forfeits at 165, 174 and 285. After Beckman opened the dual with a win over Brian Bokoski at 125, North Carolina posted four consecutive wins, including two technical falls and a major decision by Corey Mock over freshman Anthony Salupo, who bumped to 157 to give Tanen a rest, as the Tar Heels led 17-3 halfway. The Mountain Hawks won both bouts that were contested in the back half, which Hamlin winning a 4-2 decision over Alex Utley and Kennedy besting Nick Tenpenny 6-2. “The key was we scored a lot on the edge of the mat today,” Santoro explained. “We scored at the end of periods. That's crucial in matches. We have to continue to improve because we have our hands full next week.” The Mountain Hawks will return to the mats on Sunday, December 4 when they visit Penn in their first EIWA dual meet of the season. The match is slated for a 1 p.m. start from the famed Palestra in Philadelphia. The match will be broadcast on ESPN Radio 1230 and 1320 as well as online at Lehighsports.com.

Missouri jumped out to an early edge with a 19-3 technical fall victory by No. 5 Alan Waters over Pat Rollins to open the night. It was the season debut for Waters, who missed the first two duals with an injury. Waters moved quickly on Rollins, scoring a takedown and a nearfall in the first period to take the 5-0 advantage. After starting down in the second, Waters quickly escaped and hit another takedown, taking an 8-0 lead into the final period. Rollins chose neutral to start the third, and Waters immediately went to work, scoring a takedown 22 seconds into the period. He would proceed to cut Rollins several times and landed three more takedowns in the frame to help put the Tigers up 5-0. Junior Nathan McCormick improved to 3-0 on the season with a 9-3 decision over James Roberts, putting the Tigers up 8-0 after a pair of matches. McCormick hit a takedown in each of the first two periods to take a 4-2 lead into the final frame. After starting on bottom in the third, McCormick reversed Roberts to go up 6-2. He would allow an escape, but McCormick hit a takedown with 19 seconds left to go with his riding time, securing the decision. At 141 pounds, Missouri senior Brandon Wiest took No. 5 Mike Mangrum to the wire, but Mangrum pulled out a 7-5 decision in sudden victory. Mangrum scored the first takedown in the match with 2:23 left in the first period, but Wiest worked a reversal a little over a minute later. Mangrum was able to escape with three seconds left in the first, taking a 3-2 lead. Mangrum chose bottom to start the second and escaped in 12 seconds, but Wiest landed a takedown with 51 seconds left in the period to even the score. Mangrum escaped again 30 seconds later, taking a 5-4 lead into the final frame. Mangrum would ride Wiest for over a minute in the third, but Wiest was able to escape with just under a minute left to send it to overtime. Wiest took a shot on Mangrum with under 30 seconds left in overtime, but Mangrum turned it into his takedown, securing the match for the Beaver grappler and cutting into the Missouri lead, 8-3. Oregon State cut the Tiger lead to 8-6 with a victory by decision at 149. No. 8 Scott Sakaguchi pulled out an 8-5 win over No. 15 Kyle Bradley for the second straight victory for OSU. Bradley struck first, hitting a takedown with just over a minute left in the opening period, but Sakaguchi would finish the frame with the lead, escaping 10 seconds later and hitting a takedown of his own with 20 seconds left in the first. In the second, Sakaguchi chose down and picked up an early escape. He'd follow that with a takedown, but Bradley would reverse him to cut the lead to 6-4. Sakaguchi scored another escape before the period ended and allow only a third period escape to Bradley while also securing the riding time point. Drake Houdashelt got Missouri back on the winning side of things with an 11-7 decision at 157 pounds over RJ Pena, extending the Tiger lead to 11-6. Houdashelt led 2-1 after the first period, and took control of the match in a wild second period. He escaped after starting down, but was hit with his second stalling of the match with 37 seconds left in the frame. He was then taken down by Pena, but quickly reversed him and landed a three point nearfall. Hit hit another takedown in the third and secured riding time for his second win of the season. Strong riding skills were showcased at 165 pounds, as Zach Toal pulled out a 3-1 decision over Cody Weishoff to help put the Tigers up 14-6. Toal scored the only takedown of the match with 1:18 left in the first period, but a technical violation on Toal helped the OSU wrestler trim the lead to 2-1 heading to the second. Weishoff rode Toal out in the second, but Toal returned the favor in the third and amassed riding time in the process to give him the win and put the team up 14-6. Senior Dorian Henderson made it three straight wins for the Tigers, as he edged Ty Vinson by a 5-2 decision. The Missouri grappler, ranked No. 5 in the nation at 174 pounds, hit a second period takedown and scored an escape early in the third to take the 3-2 lead. Vinson, looking for the upset, was in deep on a shot late in the final period that would've given him the advantage, but Henderson turned it into his takedown to close out the victory, extending Missouri's lead to 17-6. At 184, Mike Larson scored a flurry of third period points to secure his first bonus victory on the season, defeating John Tuck by an 8-0 major decision. Larson led 2-0 heading to the third, where he scored an escape, a takedown and a two point nearfall to suddenly go up 7-0. Larson's riding time advantage gave him the 8-0 major decision for Missouri, securing the dual victory. Oregon State closed out the evening by winning the last two matches by fall. Oregon State's Taylor Meeks scored a defensive pin over No. 12 Brent Haynes in the second period at the 197 pound match. Starting down, Haynes hit a reversal to go up 2-0 in the second, but Meeks would eventually expose Haynes' back to the mat as he attempted a reversal of his own, getting the pin in the process. At heavyweight, No. 8 Clayton Jack took Devin Mellon down with just over a minute left in the first period and turned Mellon to his back seven seconds later. Missouri looks for their second straight win over a top-25 opponent on Sunday, Nov. 27 as they head to Stanford to face the No. 25 Cardinal at 2 p.m. CT.

AMES, Iowa -- The No. 2 Oklahoma State wrestling team stormed past Iowa State in its first dual of the 2011-12 season, earning a 29-9 win in front of 2,248 at Hilton Coliseum. The Cowboys improve to 1-0 (1-0 Big 12) on the year, while the Cyclones fall to 0-4 (0-1 Big 12). “Overall, I was pleased with a few of them that wrestled really well,” coach John Smith said. “Jordan Oliver and Josh Kindig – stepping up and getting quick falls. I even liked Bailey's first two periods. He looked like he quit a little bit in the third. Chris McNeil gave me a lot of hope in the third period, scoring that takedown, and he should have scored the second one. “It was definitely an eye-opener for me that I saw several areas, especially on our feet and on the mat that we need to work on.” Senior transfer Cayle Byers, wrestling in dual competition for the first time as a Cowboy, opened the night with a 9-1 major decision over ISU's Cole Shafer to give OSU a 4-0 lead. The 197-pounder is now 8-0 on the year. Alan Gelogaev was up next for the Cowboys at heavyweight. The junior, seeing his first dual action since 2010, picked up a 9-3 win over No. 19 Matt Gibson, to increase the lead to 7-0. After Sophomore Ladd Rupp fell in the closest match of the night to No 9 Ryak Finch, 6-4, at 125 pounds, top-ranked Jordan Oliver began his quest to defend his national title with a fall over Shayden Terukina in 2:38 at 133. Sophomore Josh Kindig followed Oliver with a pin of his own at 141 pounds to break the dual open for the Cowboys with a 19-3 advantage. Kindig's fall was recorded in just 1:57 against Luke Goettl. Senior All-American Jamal Parks won a 6-3 decision at 149 pounds, before senior Albert White recorded a 13-5 major decision at 157 pounds to earn the Cowboy's fourth bonus-point win of the night. Dallas Bailey and Chris McNeil then lost close decisions at 165 and 174 pounds and No. 9 Chris Perry won 9-2 over No. 12 Boaz Beard to give the Cowboys a 29-9 final advanage and a team win in their first dual of the season. Oklahoma State resumes Dec. 4 when they take on fourth-ranked Minnesota at 1 p.m. at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa wrestling team extended its unbeaten dual winning streak to 80 games Friday with wins over Baker (47-3), Cornell College (42-0) and Iowa Central (37-6) inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Tom Brands earned his 100th win as Iowa's head wrestling coach as Iowa swept the Iowa City Duals for the fourth time in as many seasons. Brands owns a 100-6-1 record since taking over the Hawkeye program in 2006. The Hawkeyes recorded nine pins while posting a 27-3 record in the three duals. Seven Hawkeyes recorded perfect 3-0 marks in the duals, including 125-pounder Matt McDonough, 174-pounder Ethen Lofthouse and heavyweight Bobby Telford. All three Hawkeyes recorded a pair of pins and a bonus-point victory. McDonough opened the three-dual event with a second period pin against Baker's Bo Newport and Telford sent the crowd of 8,527 home with a first period pin against Central's Lonnie Brown. McDonough added a first period pin against Jacob Colon (Central). Telford put Baker's Dylan Berg on his back in 2:17. Lofthouse recorded a fall against Baker's Clarence Brown in the opening period before pinning Cornell's Brent Hamm in 1:06, the fastest fall of the night. Redshirt freshman Mike Evans, sophomores Tony Ramos and Derek St. John, and senior Montell Marion also posted perfect 3-0 marks. Evans, Ramos and Marion recorded one pin each. St. John added two technical falls. Twenty-two of Iowa's 27 wins earned bonus points. Senior Vinnie Wagner made his first career appearance in front of the Carver-Hawkeye Arena crowd. The 184-pounder earned a 21-8 major decision over Cornell's Andrew Roberts. Junior Grant Gambrall returned to the mat for the first time since winning the third-place bout at last season's NCAA Championships. Gambrall made his first career appearance at 197 pounds and used 1:35 of riding time to earn a 4-3 decision over Cornell's Alex Coolidge. Redshirt freshman Jeremy Fahler earned a pair of major decisions in each of his 184-pound bouts. Fahler topped Baker's Parker Owen 9-1 before recording a 12-4 win over Iowa Central's Cristian Mays. Sophomore Tomas Lira split a pair of decisions at 197 pounds. Redshirt freshman Jacob Ballweg lost two of his three decisions while competing at 149 pounds. The Hawkeyes return to action Dec. 2 when they host sixth-ranked Illinois on Mediacom Mat inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The dual will start at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children.

Upstate New York will once again be the site of the most exciting and expansive wrestling event of November. The Journeymen/ASICS Northeast Duals take place on Saturday at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, N.Y. Frank Popolizio and his Journeymen Wrestling Club have assembled the biggest names in wrestling and MMA to appear over course of a two-day event that includes top-level dual meet action, the musical styling's of America's most famous choir and a chance for wrestlers of all age to learn from the best in the sport. Highlighting the first day of clinics is coaching guru Mike Krause, who'll be offering interested campers his unique brand of energy, motivation and technique. Krause who runs NXT LVL Wrestling Academy is considered by some to be the best youth coach in the country. In recent years his profile has been raised as a result of his popular videos on Flowrestling.com that feature his engaging and energetic approach to technique. Krause is developing a brand of wrestling that's become synonymous with success. Joining Popolizio's assemblage of talent will be a trio of current UFC fighters. Top middleweight contender Chael Sonnen, featherweight superman Urijah Faber, local-wrestler-turned-UFC vet Matt Riddle, and fan-favorite Clay "The Carpenter" Guida will all be available for a three-hour technique and skills display on November 25 for $150. Popolizio and the New York state wrestling community understand and appreciate the crossover between wrestling and the MMA community is strong and only continuing to grow. The weekend will also include a performance by the Boys and Girls Choir of Harlem Alumni Ensemble, which will take place during halftime of the dual meet tournament. Tickets are $15. In spite of all the fanfare surrounding the event, the highlight of the weekend is the collection of talented college wrestling teams battling through a weekend of dual meets. Highlighting the competition will be Arizona State, a program that finished sixth at last season's NCAA tournament, along with consistent top-10 finisher Central Michigan, forever-improving Maryland, and the resurgent Binghamton squad coached by Frank's brother Pat Popolizio. Here is a sampling of some of the tournament's top matchups by round. Round 1: No. 8 American vs. No 16 Penn Two of the EIWA's premier programs are meeting in an early-season statement dual that could help establish tournament seeding. American University's new head coach Teague Moore has a talented squad, with four potential All-American candidates. He'll have plenty of help getting the rest of his team to perform with returning All-Americans Ganbayar Sanjaa and Ryan Flores leading the squad into the day's first dual. Sanjaa finished fourth in last year's NCAA tournament, while Flores gave Lehigh's Zack Rey all he could handle in the heavyweight finals, falling short by a point. Sanjaa has moved up to 157 pounds this season. Penn is a well-balanced team; fans of the program should expect them to perform well all year in at least eight of their weight classes this year (they're ranked third in the ultra-tough EIWA). The Quakers return All-American No. 4 Zach Kemmerer (141) and round of 12 wrestler, No. 6 Micah Burak (197), who owns a win over last year's NCAA champion Dustin Kilgore of Kent State. The team's ranked wrestlers rounded out by No. 10 Mark Rappo (125) and No. 15 Bryan Ortenzio (133) Round 2: Army vs. Binghamton The New York locals will do battle in the day's second dual meet. The Army Black Knights are led by second-year head coach Joe Heskett. The young coach is already seeing major gains in his program, three weeks ago knocking off a then No. 22 Iowa State in dual meet competition, 23-22. The Black Knights have a solid squad of young competitors, highlighted by 133 pounds. Jordan Thome, the team's only returning NCAA qualifier. Binghamton is hoping to continue its string of successful seasons in 2011-2012. Last year the Bearcats sent a program-best six wrestlers to the NCAA tournament, of which they return 2010 NCAA All-American, No. 6 Justin Lister (157) and No. 10 Donnie Vinson (149), who defeated two-time NCAA champion (and New York native) Kyle Dake of Cornell last season. Round 3: No. 6 Lehigh vs. No. 24 Purdue Ivan Lopouchanski headlines a Boilermaker squad looking to improve on its ninth-place Big Ten finish last season. The 149-pound wrestler is ranked ninth in the country and has already had successful start to his 2011-2012 campaign. Other top Purdue wrestlers include 2010 All-American, No. 8 Cashe Quiroga (133) and No. 11 A.J. Kissel (197). Lehigh is back. The squad that only four years ago was trending south is highlighted by returning NCAA champion heavyweight, top-ranked Zack Rey. The Mountain Hawks are loaded with talent this season and poising themselves for a run at the team podium. Head coach Pat Santoro's team includes an impressive five wrestlers in the top 20 nationally: No. 1 Zach Rey (285), No. 1 Robert Hamlin (184), No. 9 Brandon Hatchett (165), No. 6 Stephen Dutton (141) and No. 9 Joe Kennedy (197) are all candidates to finish high on their respective podiums in 2012. Hamlin, a 2011 NCAA runner-up is from nearby Vermont, known throughout the 19th century as home to world's greatest wrestlers -- should he capture an NCAA title, he'd be honoring a century's worth of near-forgotten talent. Round 4: Central Michigan vs. No. 9 Maryland Central Michigan head coach Tom Borrelli is in a rebuilding year, but look for his Chippewas to make an impact at this dual meet event. Always underestimated for the talent they recruit, Borelli is a master at creating tough competitors who are as strong at 6 p.m. as they were at 6 a.m. The team is without two-time All-Americans Scotti Sentes and Jarod Trice, both of whom are expected to redshirt this season. The coaching staff will be looking for leadership on the mat from their other two-time All-American, No. 9 Ben Bennett a junior who has moved up to 184 pounds from 174 pounds last season. The team included 24 freshman, so Bennett will be key to reminding them of the Chippewas winning ways. Kerry McCoy will be leading the Maryland Terrapins once again in 2011-2012. The team is shaping up to be the best it's been in years with two of last season's three All-Americans returning to the lineup. The Terps are ranked 11th and have five wrestlers ranked in the top 20 nationally: No. 2 Josh Asper (165), No. 6 Spencer Myers (285), No. 16 Kyle John (157), No. 17 Jimmy Sheptock (174), and No. 18 Corey Peltier (184). *The man you hear yelling right now is Robin Ficker, former Washington Bullets heckler and current No. 1 fan of Maryland Terrapin Wrestling.
