STILLWATER, Okla. -- The second-ranked Oklahoma State wrestling team cruised to a 25-13 win over Bedlam rival Oklahoma Sunday in front of 4,211 fans at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Junior Jordan Oliver and senior Cayle Byers led the way for the Cowboys with a pair of falls. OSU (3-0-0 overall; 2-0-0 Big 12), picked up its fourth-straight win over Oklahoma (3-1-0 overall; 2-1-0 Big 12) to improve its all-time series advantage to 129-26-10. “I thought this was going to be a tougher match,” coach John Smith said. “I thought there could be some battle matches. They have a lot of guys in the middle of the road that are pretty competitive. If you would've told me that we were going to win it 25-13, I probably would've thought it was a good match on our part. After watching it and being exposed to a couple of areas, especially down wrestling, we just really struggled.” Oliver's fall came in just 1:30 after a flurry of takedowns, including one in the first second of the bout. The Easton, Pa., native moves to 3-0 on the year and his pin over OU's Derek Geiges marks his third first-period fall of the season. “I'm just trying to get out there and get bonus points for the team,” Oliver said. “I want to put points on the board and make guys wrestle, not letting them just stand around. I'm just feeling a lot more comfortable getting on top of guys. If a cradle or pin is there, I'm going to take it.” Byer's pin over OU's Keldrick Hall came in more dramatic fashion. Holding on to a 2-0 lead late in the final period, he was able to turn Hall with less than 30 seconds left and earn the fall in 6:41. His bonus-point win marked his seventh of the year and it built the Cowboys' dual lead to an out-of-reach 15-6. “I wanted to score in the first period this match, but I just wasn't creating angles,” Byers said. “I figured if I kept putting pressure on him the conditioning would do the rest.” Senior Jamal Parks started the dual for Cowboys on a good note with a 4-3 decision over No. 11 Nick Lester at 149 pounds. Parks earned a takedown in the first and second periods to take a 4-3 lead into the third and successfully fought off Lester's attempt to turn him throughout the final two minutes. Other Cowboy wins included a 5-3 decision from senior Chris McNeil over OU's Nolan McBryde at 174 pounds, a 7-1 decision from sophomore Chris Perry over OU's Erich Schmidtke at 184 pounds and 15-2 major decision from junior Alan Gelogaev over OU's Kyle Colling at heavyweight. Oklahoma won four bouts on the day, including the 157-, 165-, 125- and 141-pound matches. The Cowboys are scheduled to return to action Dec. 18 when they travel to Reno, Nev., for the Reno Tournament of Champions.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 8-ranked University of Michigan wrestling team claimed six individual bouts, including the final four of the afternoon, and earned three major decisions to knock off Wisconsin, 21-12, in its Big Ten Conference opener on Sunday afternoon (Dec. 11) at Cliff Keen Arena. With the Wolverines trailing by four points with four matches remaining, fifth-year senior Justin Zeerip (Fremont, Mich./Hesperia HS) initiated his team's comeback with a 10-2 major decision over Frank Cousins at 174 pounds. The Wolverine senior scored four takedowns, finishing on a late double leg in the bout's final 20 seconds to seal the bonus point. Zeerip improved to 11-1 on the season. Senior/junior Hunter Collins (Gilroy, Calif./Gilroy HS) also took advantage of a late score to edge Timmy McCall, 4-3, in his season dual debut at 184 pounds. While the score was even entering the third period, McCall had a riding-time point already locked up when he chose down in the third. Collins rode out the period and tilted the Badger wrestler for two points in the last 10 seconds of regulation to steal away the match. Sophomore/freshman Max Huntley (Emerald, Isle./Blair Academy) needed extra time to defeat Jackson Hein in the 197-pound match, converting on a scoring opportunity midway through the sudden-victory frame to win, 4-2. The aggressor throughout the match, Huntley took a temporary lead on a third-period reversal, before Hein escaped to send the match to overtime. Hein took an errant half shot, and Huntley countered, spinning around to score on the edge. Junior/sophomore Ben Apland (Woodridge, Ill./Downers Grove South HS) survived a second-period scare to defeat Cole Tobin, 8-4, in the heavyweight match. Apland controlled the first period, scoring on a go-behind before riding out the frame to accumulate time advantage, but Tobin stole the lead midway through the second, throwing Apland on his back for four points. The Wolverine wrestler quickly evened the score on a stall call and locked hands before using a third-period double leg to ice the match. Junior/sophomore Grant Pizzo (Brighton, Mich./Brighton HS) and fifth-year senior Kellen Russell (High Bridge, N.J./Blair Academy) earned major decisions at 125 and 141 pounds, respectively, to provide the Wolverines an early advantage after three bouts. Pizzo rolled to a 9-1 win in the former bout, using two takedowns, a reversal and two back points to beat Austin Hieptas in his first-ever match at Cliff Keen Arena. With the major decision in sight, Pizzo cut Hieptas loose midway through the third period and quickly finished on a double-leg shot in the final 30 seconds to earn the bonus point after riding time. Russell scored on four takedowns -- two in the third period -- to cruise past Thomas Glenn, 10-2, in the 141-pound contest. He converted on a go behind in the first and a pair of double legs before countering a Glenn shot to seal the major decision late in the third. The Wolverines will take a break for the holidays before returning to competition on Thursday, Dec. 29, at the Mat Town Invitational in Lock Haven, Pa. The tournament is slated for a 9 a.m. start at Thomas Fieldhouse. Results: 125 -- Grant Pizzo (U-M) major dec.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Bonus points scored by the No. 6 Ohio State wrestling team (6-0) proved to be the difference maker in the Buckeyes' 22-15 win over No. 20 Kent State Sunday afternoon in the M.A.C. Center in Kent, Ohio. Despite Ohio State and Kent State winning five matches each, pins by Logan Stieber and C.J. Magrum, as well as a major decision by Hunter Stieber lifted the Scarlet and Gray to its sixth dual win of the season. “It was not a good day for everyone, but it's good to get the win in a harsh environment,” Magrum said. “We need to keep improving and pushing each other. The Buckeyes will get better as the season progresses.” The Buckeyes went 2-3 in the first five matches of the day, yet still owned a 10-9 lead heading into intermission. After the break, Ohio State won three consecutive matches at 174, 184 and 197 pounds. Down 3-0 early, Ohio State answered with back-to-back wins courtesy of No. 3 L. Stieber at 133 pounds and No. 6 H. Stieber at 141 pounds. L. Stieber, who remains undefeated on the season with a 15-0 overall record and 6-0 ledger in dual competition, immediately gave the Buckeyes a 6-3 lead when he pinned Troy Opfer at the 2:17 mark. L. Stieber, a redshirt freshman from Monroeville, Ohio, now has a team-leading eight pins this season. “We wrestled okay as a whole today, but we have to finish matches and score more points,” L. Stieber said. The younger brother of L. Stieber, H. Stieber, also tacked on bonus points for the Scarlet and Gray after recording an 11-2 major decision vs. No. 13 Tyler Small. Stieber now improves to 14-2 overall and 5-1 in dual action. In a highly anticipated 149-pound matchup between a pair of freshmen Ohio High School state champions, Buckeye and 15th-ranked Cam Tessari faced No. 18 Ian Miller. Tessari, who hails from Monroeville, Ohio, and is a four-time state champion, dropped a 9-5 decision to Miller, who is a three-time state titlist from Oak Harbor, Ohio. Another Golden Flash decision at 157 pounds followed to allow them to cut the Ohio State lead to one (10-9). No. 19 Josh Demas, a redshirt freshman out of Westerville North High School, lost to Mallie Shuster, 6-1. Out of the break, Kent State maintained its momentum when Buckeye Derek Garcia, a freshman from Sedro Woolley, Wash., suffered a 6-1 setback to Tommy Sasfy. With the win, the Golden Flashes took a 12-10 lead with four matches remaining. Ohio State jumped back into the lead (13-12) thanks to No. 5 Nick Heflin's 8-3 win over Brandonn Johnson at 174 pounds. Heflin, a redshirt sophomore from Massillon, Ohio, is now 15-1 overall, including a 6-0 dual record. Magrum pinning Kwan Bailey in 6:28 at 184 pounds proved to be crucial down the stretch as the win gave the Buckeyes a 19-12 lead with two matches left. The redshirt junior from Oak Harbor, Ohio, is 13-3 overall and remains undefeated in dual competition with a 6-0 record. Freshman Andrew Campolattano sealed the win for the Scarlet Gray after his 8-2 victory vs. Keith Witt. Campolattano, a native of Bound Brook, N.J., is 10-5 overall and 4-2 in dual matches. In the final match of the afternoon, redshirt sophomore Peter Capone dropped a 6-3 decision to Brendan Barlow for the 22-15 final. At 125 pounds, freshman Johnni Dijulius faced the second-ranked wrestler in the nation in Nicholas Bedelyon and was handed a 6-1 loss to open the dual.

The Fighting Scots won six of the 10 individual weight classes and finished with 163.5 points to hold off Bloomsburg (150 points) and Clarion (124). This was Edinboro's 12th overall PSAC title. A.J. Schopp (133 lbs), Mitchell Port (141), David Habat (149), Vic Avery (184), Chris Honeycutt (197) and Ernest James (285) all won individual titles. Aside from Honeycutt, who won at 184 lbs last season, all were first-time champions. In addition, Kory Mines (125 lbs) and Casey Fuller (157 lbs) finished in third place, while Ethan Saylor finished in fifth at 165 lbs. “We circle this date every year,” Edinboro head coach Tim Flynn said. “Our team takes a lot of pride in it and our kids wrestled really hard.” Honeycutt , ranked third in the nation, maintained his undefeated 18-0 record and avoided a scare early in third period as Clarion's Alex Thomas briefly put him on his back to pull out a 12-6 decision at 197 lbs. Immediately following Honeycutt's win, James finished off his dominant day by pinning Lock Haven's Henry Turner in 49 seconds for his third fall in less than a minute of the event. “I've just worked real hard,” James said. “After last season, I know it was my first year starting, but I've just worked really hard to improve myself out there.” Schopp, ranked eighth in the nation, continued his stellar season and capped off his day with a 17-2 technical fall victory over Bloomsburg's Nick Wilcox to improve to 17-1.

True freshman Jake Sueflohn (NU) won the first home match of his career to start the Husker comeback with an 11-2 major decision over McCade Ford (WYO), before redshirt freshman Brandon WIlbourn (149) defeated Brandon Richardson, 11-5, to give the Huskers the lead for good. At 157 pounds, freshman No. 16 James Green escaped from Dakota Friesth (WYO) with 1:25 remaining in the third period to win, 6-5. After Kokesh's win, Tyler Koehn (174) picked up the Huskers' second upset over a nationally ranked foe when he beat No. 18 Patrick Martinez (WYO), 6-3. Wyoming was able to win the last two matches of the night, but couldn't overcome the 10-point lead NU had accumulated. No. 10 Josh Ihnen (NU) fell to No.3 Joe LeBlanc after giving up a takedown with under 30 seconds left in the dual. The loss drops Ihnen's season record to 9-2. The Cowboys' last win came at 197 pounds where No. 13 Alfonso Hernandez (WYO) took down James Nakashima, 4-2. The Huskers return to action for a pair of road duals next weekend when they take on South Dakota State on Saturday, Dec. 17 at 7p.m., and North Dakota State on Sunday, Dec. 19 at 1 p.m. Nebraska's next home dual will be against Ohio State in their Big Ten opener on Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. Check back to Huskers.com for more coverage of the Nebraska wrestling team.

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. -- The 16th-ranked Rutgers wrestling team finished off its double-dual Saturday in its second location of the day with a 21-12 win over Rider in Alumni Gym. In earlier action, the Scarlet Knights topped Princeton, 29-7, in Dillon Gym. RU was led by two-win performances by Mike DeMarco (Lyndhurst, N.J.), Maro Mason (Moorestown, N.J,), Scott Winston (Jackson, N.J.), Greg Zannetti (Edison, N.J.), Daniel Seidenberg (Raritan, N.J.) and Daniel Rinaldi (Lodi, N.J.). The Scarlet Knights improved to 5-1 overall with the dual wins, while the Broncs dropped to 3-2 overall. The Tigers fell to 1-4 with their earlier loss. RU wrestlers won eight of the 10 contested bouts against Princeton and took six of the 10 matches against Rider. In the most anticipated battle of the day, Zannetti turned away Rider's Jim Resnick at 174 pounds by major decision, 11-3. The Scarlet Knight, ranked 14th nationally according to Intermat, controlled No. 11 Resnick throughout the match en route to bonus points for Rutgers. Zannetti improved to a perfect 9-0 on the season with the win. Mason (149 pounds) and Winston (165 pounds) also contributed bonus points for head coach Scott Goodale's squad, scoring 12-4 and 12-3 wins over their Bronc opponents, respectively. In earlier action, Mason scored the biggest win of the Princeton dual with a 23-8 (7:00) technical fall over Zach Bintliff. The victory, coupled with his win against Rider, improved the Rutgers 149-pounder's overall record to 9-0. Winston, Rinaldi and Daniel Hopkins (Jackson, N.J.) also scored bonus points for RU with major decision victories in their respective matches against the Tigers. Ranked sixth nationally at 165 pounds, Winston controlled Princeton's Rich Eva for an 18-5 win. Rinaldi and Hopkins paired to end the dual strongly for Rutgers, scoring 12-2 and 12-3 wins over their Tiger foes at 197 pounds and heavyweight, respectively. The Scarlet Knights next travel to the prestigious Midlands Championships in Evanston, Ill., inside Welsh-Ryan Arena on the campus of Northwestern University. The tournament, set to run from Dec. 29-30, annually features some of the top wrestling talent from around the nation.

Well, this year's edition of the Ironman more than lived up to the hype. The intensity, electricity, and competitive atmosphere of Ironman Saturday was surreal to say the least. Blair (Photo/Kevin Schlosser, BuckeyeWrestling.com)Despite some moments of disappointment, No. 1 Blair Academy, N.J., lived up to its ranking and came home with its 10th Ironman title, and third in the last four years. The Buccaneers had a true team effort placing 13 of their 14 wrestlers inside of the top eight to score 252-1/2 points. "That was impressive," said head coach Jeff Buxton, "I'm proud of our team, things came together but we still have plenty to work on." The major moment of concern for Blair came in the semifinal round, when No. 2 St. Edward, Ohio took a temporary hold on the team point lead after a crazy sequence of matches from 126 through 138. In the semifinals at 126, No. 8 Dean Heil (St. Edward, Ohio) earned a 4-2 victory over No. 5 (at 132) Brandon Jeske (Cox, Va.). That came after a 3-1 Heil victory over No. 3 Joey Dance (Christiansburg, Va.) in the quarterfinal round. At 132 pounds, the two top wrestlers in the nation were upset within a five minute span. No. 1 ranked Mark Grey (Blair Academy, N.J.) was upended by No. 18 (at 126) Randy Cruz (Bethlehem Catholic, Pa.) 9-4. Cruz took an early lead in the match, Grey was able to cut the deficit down to 6-4, but Cruz escaped and got a late takedown to close it out. "Grey is real tough," said Cruz, "I've seen him at many events, but never wrestled him before today." Making it even worse for Blair, Edgar Bright (St. Edward, Ohio) upset No. 2 Alex Cisneros (Selma, Calif.) 5-2 in the tiebreaker. In the next weight, at 138, No. 5 Todd Preston (Blair Academy, N.J.) was upended 3-1 on a late takedown by No. 16 Austin Matthews (Reynolds, Pa.) off a crazy scramble. However, the Buccaneers were able to recover from that, starting with Dylan Milonas at 145 pounds, who upended No. 9 Zack Dailey (Massillon Perry, Ohio) 7-5 in the tiebreaker on a reversal during the semifinal round. That came after a 1-0 victory over No. 19 Jack Clark (McDonogh, Md.) in a quarterfinal battle of National Prep runners-up with a third perod rideout. In the final, Milonas was the first of three Blair champions with a 5-3 overtime victory over No. 20 Blake Kastl (St. Paris Graham, Ohio). "My endurance really keeps me going in these close matches," said Milonas. "It's all about the training partners that I have (at Blair, like Grey and Preston, and others) that keep pushing me and keep me going." In that semifinal round, Blair was also able to get wins from No. 19 Frank Mattiace at 195 and No. 1 Brooks Black at 285. Those wrestlers also earned championships during the final round. Mattiace earned a 6-1 victory against Seth Calvert (Broken Arrow, Okla.) on a five-point move late in the third period of a match that was previously tied 1-1. "Calvert hit a low ankle pick, and I trapped it to a cradle," said Mattiace. "Being at Blair has helped me improve a ton, and I give thanks to the coaches for making me ten times a better wrestler," Mattiace added. "Competing nationally has enabled me to improve." Black earned a 3-1 victory over No. 7 Greg Kuhar (St. Edward, Ohio) in the championship round on a third period takedown with 45 seconds remaining. That was a fifth victory for Black over Kuhar in as many meetings. Having seen him so many times, "I just have to go and execute the same plan, push the pace, and it will come," Black said. "It feels great to win a second (Ironman) title, I worked hard for it, and am thankful for the coaching (from Buxton and staff)." Dean Heil pinned Jimmy Gulibon to win the title at 126 pounds (Photo/Kevin Schlosser, BuckeyeWrestling.com)The major individual story of the tournament came from the already mentioned Heil, who followed up the victories earlier in the day over Dance and Jeske with an even bigger statement in the championship final match against No.1 Jimmy Gulibon (Derry Area, Pa.). After trading takedowns in the first two periods, the wrestlers were tied at 3-3. Gulibon then scored an escape off of his choice to start the third period. Countering a Gulibon shot, Heil won the scramble and trapped Gulibon on his back for the fall at the 4:19 mark. "I warmed up the same (before each match), I knew my competition, and I wrestled my match (in all three matches)," said Heil in analyzing his run through the Saturday gauntlet at the Ironman. "I was able to overcome some distractions in training (not being able to practice the week before this one due to injury), kept my focus, and knew this was a chance to be No. 1 in America." He more than stated his case on Ironman Saturday, and the performance was sufficient to earn Outstanding Wrestler honors. "It's totally amazing, and I fought through a heck of bracket," Heil responded when asked about earning the award. Despite that dynamic performance from Heil, St. Edward came up just short in their attempt to upend Blair, as they scored 240-1/2 points. That total for the Eagles was the highest ever accrued by a runner-up team. No. 8 (at 160) Mark Martin gave the Eagles a second titlist with a 2-1 victory over No. 10 (at 160) Eric Morris at 170 pounds. After being ridden out in the second period, and giving up an escape with about thirty seconds remaining, the match-deciding sequence started with about fifteen seconds remaining. Martin seized the moment, got in on a double leg attack, and blasted through the space for the match-winning takedown. "I went to what I do best," said Martin, "Morris does a good job staying in position, so I just had to go find an explosive moment to create a gap." The Eagles placed eleven wrestlers in all, championships coming from Heil and Martin, with runner-up finishes from Bright, No. 11 Domenic Abounader at 182, and Kuhar. Third place in the standings was No. 7 St. Paris Graham, Ohio with 167 points and a trio of champions, which tied Blair for the tournament high. Falcon champions were No. 2 (at 160) Bo Jordan winning at 152, No. 3 (at 170) Isaac Jordan winning at 160, and No. 3 (at 195) Huston Evans winning at 182. They also tied St. Edward with a tournament high five finalists, as No. 4 Ryan Taylor and Kastl were upended at 120 and 145 respectively. Bo Jordan upended No. 2 Isaiah Martinez (Lemoore, Calif.) for his second consecutive Ironman title, by a 2-0 score on a second period takedown from a head-inside single to a dump finish. Facing such a tough opponent, Bo focused on his basic match plan, "Just go out there, do what I do, get the inside position, push the pace, and get in his face." In the next weight, his cousin Isaac Jordan followed suit with a 5-2 victory over No. 4 (at 170) Geordan Speiller (Pine Castle Christian, Fla.). Takedowns in the first two periods were key -- they came off a head inside single and a sweep single. This was a bounce-back year for Isaac, after failing to place in last year's Ironman, then sitting out the rest of the regular season due to a hurt hamstring before winning a state title. "I feel much better (this year)," Isaac commented, also adding that, "(Bo) is a great partner, and I have many others in the room that also push me." Finally getting an Ironman title after finishing second last year, fourth and seventh the years before that, was Evans who upended Abounader by a 3-2 score. The match-deciding takedown came in the third period after multiple attempts fell just short of scoring. "It feels great to get one, since I've been working for this for a long time," said Evans, "I feel great this year, especially not having to cut (much if any) weight." Earning second Ironman championships this year were No. 2 Nathan Tomasello (CVCalif., Ohio) and No. 1 Nate Skonieczny (Walsh Jesuit, Ohio) at 113 and 138 pounds respectively. Tomasello had a very rough road to his title having to get off his back in the first period against No. 14 Zeke Moisey (Bethlehem Catholic, Pa.) and catch up to a 5-0 deficit. Trailing 9-8 late in the match after three takedowns to dent into that lead, Tomasello got the go ahead takedown and pin with one second remaining in the match. The championship match against No. 5 Joey McKenna (Blair Academy, N.J.) was no easier, despite Tomasello getting an early takedown. With the score tied 2-2, McKenna rode tough for much of the third period before Tomasello got the escape with about 30 seconds left before fending off a deep McKenna attack towards the edge of the mat inside the last ten seconds. "I trust god, and wrestle for his glory," said Tomasello, "Just able to let things go, focus in on the task at hand, and work very hard to be in better shape (than my opponents) to be able to wrestle the full six minutes." Skonieczny won a second title in three years at his home tournament with a pin against Matthews at the 4:41 mark. Leading 4-3 after takedowns in the second and third period, Skonieczny was in attempting a third takedown to extend the margin. Matthews tried to scramble through the attempt, but Skonieczny trapped Matthews on his back for a brief moment for the fall from the neutral position. "I got a good pace going, hit some good shots," Skonieczny said, "When (Matthews) rolled through, I just stopped it, and got the pin, which was an especially nice feeling." Winning additional maiden Ironman titles were No. 4 (at 113) Zahid Valencia (St. John Bosco, Calif.) at 106, No. 2 Kyle Snyder (Good Counsel, Md.) at 220, and Randy Cruz at 132. Though ranked as the No. 1 freshman regardless of weight in the country, this was Valencia's first major in-season test. He did more than pass this test, though all three matches on Saturday were one point affairs. The quarterfinal was a 6-5 victory over Vincenzo Joseph (Pittsburgh Central Catholic, Pa.), then a 5-4 victory over No. 11 (at 113) Johnson Mai (North Torrence, Calif.) before the 3-2 finals victory over No. 5 Matthew Kolodzik (Miami Valley School, Ohio). Key to the Valencia finals victory was a second period takedown, the only one of the match. "The Ironman comes with pressure, but I've been here before over my youth career," said Valencia, "I also have great partners that push me and help prepare me for challenges during the matches." Snyder, a sophomore sensation who is ranked No. 2 in that grade, added another notch to his resume with a 3-2 finals victory over No. 6 A.J. Vizcarrando (Wyoming Seminary, Pa.). A first period takedown held up as the key part of the margin, as he was able to replicate his National Prep finals victory over the same opponent. "It's been a lot of hard work with some great people and coaches that have enabled me to elevate to that next level (so early in my career)," said Snyder. Rounding out the champions was a three-time Ironman champion No. 3 George DiCamillo (St. Ignatius, Ohio) at 120 pounds. He became just the ninth wrestler to win three Ironman titles; David Taylor (Penn State/St. Paris Graham, Ohio) won four titles, and would make it ten that have won three or more. DiCamillo did so in entertaining fashion, as he made a statement against Ryan Taylor with an 11-4 major decision victory. Keys to the match were a Peterson counter takedown in the first period and five-point reversal to the back in the second period, which made it 7-0. Having wrestled Taylor on multiple occasions, including last year's 6-5 Ironman finals victory, DiCamillo knew that he "had to mix it up a bit and keep (Taylor) guessing." "It hasn't really sunk in yet," said DiCamillo of winning a third Ironman title, "however, I'm really excited."

Photo/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images TORONTO -- Jon Jones looked vulnerable ... if only for a short time. But in the end, it was the 24-year-old Jones who reigned supreme after submitting Lyota Machida in the second round of their light heavyweight title bout on Saturday night at UFC 140 in Toronto. Jones was outstruck by Machida in the opening round. But Jones came back strong in the second round, taking Machida down before landing a vicious elbow, which not only changed the momentum of the fight, but opened a gash in Machida's forehead. Shortly after, Jones backed Machida into the Octagon cage and put the Dragon to sleep. Jones' victory was deemed Fight of the Night. "I have never fought anyone like Lyota," said Jones, who improved to 15-1, with his only loss coming by disqualification. "He's an amazing person. First off, I would like to say he has my utmost respect. So hats off to Lyota." UFC President Dana White had high praise for Jones, who is ranked fourth in the InterMatFight pound-for-pound rankings. "Jon Jones is the real deal," said White. "He has had an incredible schedule this year, fighting all the best in the world. Actually, this is the first time that the [light heavyweight] belt has been defended since Chuck Liddell. Big night for Bones Jones. The kickoff to what I think is going to be an amazing career." Former heavyweight champion Frank Mir found himself in danger early against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueia, as he was stunned by several strikes. Nogueia attempted a submission, but Mir quickly turned the tables and secured a Kimura, which broke Nogueira's arm, and gave Mir the victory. Mir was the first fighter ever to knock out Nogueia, when he did so on Dec. 27, 2008. Now he is the first fighter ever to submit Nogueia. Mir was was awarded Submission of the Night. "When I locked up Nogueira, I had a strong inclination that he was not going to tap," said Mir. "So I took a deep breath and ... uh, you guys saw what happened." Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, known as "Little Nog," proved to be too much for Tito Ortiz, who was fighting in his UFC-record 26th fight. Ortiz started quickly, landing strikes and appeared to have "Little Nog" in trouble. But Nogueira landed a left hand followed by a knee to the torso, which put Ortiz down on the canvas. Nogueira landed several punches and elbows to Ortiz's ribs before referee Yves Lavigne stepped in and called the fight. Brian Ebersole improved to 49-14 with a split decision victory over Claude Patrick, who entered the fight on a 13-fight winning streak. Patrick put Ebersole in a guillotine in the first round, but Ebersole survived and went on to win the round. Patrick came back to win the second round on the scorecard, landing some big strikes. Ebersole used two takedowns in the final round to take the final round and the decision. Chan Sung Jung started off the main card with guns blazing, knocking out Mark Hominick in just seven seconds. Jung landed a right, knocking down Hominick, and then pounced on top and landed a barrage of punches. Jung's seven-second knockout tied the record for the quickest knockout in UFC history. For Jung, who is known as "The Korean Zombie," it marked his second straight victory, following his submission victory over Leonard Garcia on March 26. Jung improves to 12-3, while Hominick falls to 20-10. Undercard Igor Pokrajak made early work of Krzysztof Soszynski with a first round knockout. Pokrajak was able to land a clean head shot on Soszynski that put him to the mat. Pokrajak kept the barrage of punches flying and quickly ended the fight. Pokrajak has now won two straight UFC fights by knockout. Dennis Hallman defeated John Makdessi by submitting him in a rear-naked choke in the first round. Hallman was able to overwhelm Makdessi early in the match and Makdessi was never seriously in the contest. Dennis Hallman apologized to the fans and to Makdessi after the fight for not making weight for the fight. In a fight that could have gone either way, Yves Jabouin was given a split-decision victory over Walel Watson (30-27, 29-28, 28-29). The match fight was extremely close with both fighters being very active throughout the entire contest. In the end, Jabouin's 2-0 takedown advantage may have made the difference in the judges eyes. Canadian Mark Bocek outlasted Nik Lentz in a match that lasted all three rounds. In front of a hometown crowd, Bocek was given a unanimous decision (30-27) by the judges by landing 46 significant strikes to Lentz's 10 (according to fightmetric.com). Bocek also had the takedown advantage over Lentz, 5-0. Jake Hecht delivered the first upset of UFC 140 when he stopped Rich Attonito in the second by technical knockout. Hecht was able to stun Attonito with an elbow to the head. After a flurry of uncontested strikes by Hetch, the fight was stopped. Jake Hecht has now won four straight, and 11 of his last 12 fights. In the first fight of the night, John Cholish, former Cornell wrestler, won his UFC debut by TKO in the second round over UFC newbie Mitch Clarke. Referee Big John McCarthy put a stop to the action towards the end of the second round after Clarke could no longer defend himself from strikes as he was being controlled by Cholish from behind.

LANCASTER, Pa. -- Back-to-back pins by seniors Tyler Sackett (Omaha, Neb.) and Aaron Kalil (Salem, N.H.) in the first two matches helped pave the way for a 31-12 victory by the Navy wrestling team over Franklin & Marshall Friday evening at the Mayser Center in Lancaster, Pa. The Midshipmen are now 2-2 in dual competition, while the Diplomats dropped to 0-7. “I'll be honest and say this wasn't our best match, but I didn't think we looked particularly sharp all week,” said Navy head coach Bruce Burnett. “I'm not one to make excuses for the team, but perhaps it's the fact we have finals next week. Whatever it was, we have to correct the mistakes we are making. The one thing I can't criticize is how hard the guys competed. I was particularly happy with the way Luke (Rebertus) and Dan (Miller) wrestled tonight.” Sackett, who has been out of action with a knee injury since the season-opening Eastern Michigan Open, returned to the mat at 125 pounds where he built a 10-0 advantage over F&M rookie David Hershberger before earning the pin at 3:26 to give the Mids an early 6-0 lead. “It was great to have Tyler back out on the mat,” said Burnett. “Now he just needs to matches to get back into the swing of things.” Nineteenth-ranked Kalil stepped onto the mat where he battled 133-pound F&M freshman Robert Ruiz. The two locked up several times, but neither could get much going until Kalil gained his escape and got Ruiz to the mat where he took the match via fall at 3:18 to push the Mids' lead to 6-0. After a scoreless opening period, Navy sophomore Raymond Borja (Virginia Beach, Va.) scored the first point at 141-pounds with an escape, but it would be his last lead of the evening. After Durso knotted things up with an escape to start the third, he went on to record a pair of third-period takedowns and used riding time to earn a 6-2 victory over Borja to trim Navy's lead to 12-3. The Mids, however, would go on to win the next three matches, all of which were the first dual wins of the season for the Navy wrestlers. Sophomore Joe Locksmith (Kissimmee, Fla.) took F&M sophomore Andrew Murano to the mat early in the first period and built a 3-0 advantage early in the second. Murano's lone point of the match was an escape to begin the third, as Locksmith now stands 1-3 in dual action this season. Junior Zach Basich (Wheeling, W.Va.) won a hard-fought match over the Diplomats' Eric Norgard at 157 pounds. Basich owned a 2-1 advantage through the first period and by the end of the second held a 5-2 lead. Norgard clipped the lead to 5-3 to open the final period, but another Basich takedown sealed the 8-3 victory in what marked his first dual of the year. Subbing in for an injured Mason Bailey (Fairmont, W.Va.) at 165 pounds was junior Jake Schalles (Orlando, Fla.), who looked strong in his match against F&M rookie Adam Schroeder. Schalles put together four takedowns en route to picking up a 9-4 win and improving to 1-0 in dual action this season. Trailing 21-3, Franklin & Marshall was able to briefly snap the Mids' winning streak as senior 174-pound Matt Fullowan pulled off a 5-3 win over Navy junior Oscar Huntley (Stafford, Va.) in sudden victory. Fullowan drew first win a takedown in the first and Huntley spent much of the time trying to work his way out. It wouldn't be until the second period that Huntley would earn an a point for an escape. The two would battle back and forth and by the end of regulation, the two would be deadlocked at 3-3. After a sudden victory period and two tie breakers, Fullowan went in on Huntley's leg and got him to the edge of the match for the winning takedown. It marked Huntley's first dual loss of the season, dropping to 3-1. Senior Luke Rebertus (Gloucester, Va.) pushed the Mids' lead to 25-6 after schooling F&M senior Mat Latessa. Rebertus turned in five takedowns against Latessa before scoring the 12-3 major decision and improving to 2-2 on the year. Senior Colin Ely of F&M looked like he was shot out of a cannon upon the opening whistle, taking Navy newcomer Paul Rands (Cary, Ill.) to the mat immediately and scoring a nearfall before winning the match by fall at 1:02. In the final bout of the night, Navy junior Dan Miller (Berlin, Md.) continued to get back in wrestling after missing a handful of weeks with an injury. Miller put together three takedowns and led 6-2 before sealing the match win by way of all at 4:16. Miller now stands 3-1 in dual action this season. The Midshipmen will have the next few weeks off from competition to concentrate on final exams and get away for the holidays before returning to the mat on Jan. 1-2 when whey travel to Chattanooga, Tenn. to take part in the Southern Scuffle.

Lexington, Va. -- Campbell received back-to-back 4-3 decision wins by Nick Rex at 165 pounds and James Cook at 174 pounds to propel the Camels from a 9-5 deficit to an 11-9 advantage as CU rallied for a 27-15 road victory over Southern Conference foe VMI on Friday night. The dual match victory moves Campbell to 5-4 overall, 2-0 in the SoCon as CU matches its best dual match win total since 2005-06. The match began with the 141 pound bout that set the scene for the back-and-forth conference showdown. VMI's Zeb Stewart outlasted CU's Jordan Tolbert (Olney, Md.) in a 9-7 overtime decision. After the Keydets took the early lead, Campbell responded when Mark Hartenstine's (Easton, Penn.) tech fall win over David Yost gave the Camels' its first lead of the night at 5-3. A Campbell forfeit at 157 pounds saw the team scoring lead change hands again. With VMI holding the 9-5 advantage, Nick Rex (Lakeland, Fla.) and James Cook (Madera, Calif.) would turn in crucial 4-3 decision wins at 157 and 165 pounds, respectively to propel CU into an 11-9 lead. Rex moves to 7-2 in dual matches this season while Cook holds a team-best 8-1 individual mark. After the Keydets retook the lead at 15-11, John Weakley (Cleveland, Ohio) drew the Camels even with a 15-6 major decision victory at 197 pounds. With Joe Nolan's (Jackson, N.J.) 6-3 decision win over Andrew Embree in the 285-pound bout, Campbell clinched the dual match victory with a forfeit win at 125 pounds. Joey Rizzolino (Easton, Penn.) helped CU move to 3-0 on the evening in matches decided by 4-3 decisions when he defeated Ryan Goodsell by the tightly-contested score. Campbell returns home on Dec. 14 as the team entertains Drexel and Northern Coloardo while hosting the Fighting Camel Duals. The Camels' first match of the evening will take place at approximately 6:30 p.m. inside the Pope Convocation Center. Results: 141 Pounds: Zeb Stewart (VMI) def.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The Purdue wrestling team opened the 2011-12 Big Ten Dual season in impressive fashion Friday night, topping visiting Michigan State University (MSU), 22-17, in Holloway Gymnasium. Freshman Braden Atwood and Brandon Nelsen led the effort with pins at 184 and 141 pounds, respectively, while seventh-ranked sophomore Cashé Quiroga had a triumphant return to the lineup at 133 pounds. MSU took control of the dual at the beginning as the dual started at 165 pounds with a 6-2 decision by Spartan senior David Cheza over Purdue sophomore Kyle Mosier, followed by a narrow 11-10 win for MSU senior Curran Jacobs at 174 pounds as he rallied from behind to edge Boilermaker rookie Drake Stein. Atwood got the Boilermakers right back into the action as he stuck Spartan senior Ian Hinton to even the team score, 6-6. After a scoreless first period, Atwood took the bottom position and picked up a reversal before stretching Hinton to his back for the fall at the 4:11-mark. "It was a huge win for Braden," said Purdue head coach Scott Hinkel, who won his ninth career Big Ten Dual. "Earning that first Big Ten win is a big accomplishment for a freshman, and to get it over a guy who's been to NCAA's a few times already should give him the confidence he needs to be successful the rest of the way." The anticipated return of 12th-ranked senior A.J. Kissel for the Boilermakers at 197 pounds had a lackluster result as he gave up a takedown to MSU senior Tyler Dickenson in the last 15 seconds to fall, 4-3, but Purdue heavyweight classmate Roger Vukobratovich notched his second win of the season over a Spartan 285-pounder to knot up the team score at the intermission. Already owning a victory over 13th-ranked sophomore Mike McClure, the Spartans sent junior Steve Andrus to the mat to face Vukobratovich. Andrus led most of the match on the strength of a first-period takedown, but Vukobratovich managed a two-point maneuver of his own in the closing seconds to win, 4-3, and improve to 8-4 on the season. The Spartans jumped back on top after the intermission as sophomore Brenan Lyon rolled out a 9-1 major decision over Purdue freshman Luke Schroeder, but the Boilermakers responded once again as Quiroga was dominant in a 19-7 major decision over freshman Brandon Fifield to tie it up, 13-13. Quiroga reeled off eight takedowns in the contest, but Fifield refused to open up on bottom and prevented Quiroga from scoring any back points. Nelsen put the Boilermakers in firm control of the match at 141 pounds, notching his team-best sixth fall of the season as he pinned freshman Brian Gibbs at 6:25. The Purdue freshman dominated from the get-go, opening up a 9-1 lead after the first two periods, and surrendering the lone point on a technical violation call. In the third period Gibbs took the neutral position and Nelsen worked through a scramble to score a takedown and take the Spartan rookie to his blades for the fall and a six-point team lead, 19-13. Eighth-ranked junior Ivan Lopouchanski sealed the match for the Boilermakers at 149 pounds, holding off game Spartan junior Dan Osterman, 4-3. Each grappler scored one takedown in the bout, but Lopouchanski managed escapes in the second and third periods to hold the final edge and put the team score out of reach. MSU senior Anthony Jones had an impressive showing at 157 pounds, earning a 12-3 major decision over Purdue junior Tommy Churchard, but the Boilermakers' lead was insurmountable as the final tally read 22-17. Purdue moves to 23-47-1 all-time against the Spartans, including an 11-22 home record, and has won four of the last five meetings with MSU. The Boilermakers improve to 4-4 on the season in dual competition, while the Spartans drop to 2-2. Purdue returns to action next Sunday, Dec. 18, at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville where they'll face the host Cougars and Truman State University. Results: 165: David Cheza (MSU) def.

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- The No. 12 Missouri Tigers (4-1) scored a huge victory over No. 20 Kent State (2-3) on Friday night, blasting the Golden Flashes by a 34-12 final. No. 5 Alan Waters kicked off the evening with a major decision over No. 2 Nic Bedelyon, while four other Tigers won their matches via pin fall. Opening at 125 pounds, Waters got the Tigers on the board in a big way, knocking off No. 2 Nic Bedelyon by a 12-1 major decision to improve to 8-0 on the year and 3-0 in duals. About halfway through the first, Waters hit a takedown for the first points of the match. He'd turn Bedelyon to his back twice in the first period to take a commanding 8-0 lead. Waters rode Bedelyon out in the second, and then scored an escape and another takedown in the third. Bedelyon would get a late escape but nothing more, as riding time gave Waters the win to put the Tigers up 4-0. Junior Nathan McCormick put Mizzou up 10-0 with a fall in the second match of the evening, pinning Steve Mitcheff with 18 seconds left in the first period. Kent State was able to get on the board at 141 with a fall of their own, as No. 13 Tyler Small pinned Brandon Wiest in 4:03 to make it 10-6. Kent State looked like they were going to chip into that Tiger lead some more, but a big comeback by No. 19 Kyle Bradley over No. 18 Ian Miller extended Missouri's advantage. Miller came out in a flurry, scoring three takedowns in the first period to take the early 6-2 lead. Bradley fought his way back in the second with an escape and a takedown, making it 6-5. In the third, Bradley took Miller down twice to gain his first lead of the match, and on the second takedown was able to turn Miller to his back and stick him for the pin in 6:16, extending Missouri's lead to 16-6. The first decision of the evening came at 157, with Kent State's Mallie Shuster upsetting No. 15 Drake Houdashelt. Shuster hit a flurry of points in the first period to take a 7-3 lead, which paced his 10-5 victory and trimmed the Mizzou lead to 16-9. At 165, sophomore Zach Toal scored a 5-2 decision over Tommy Sasfy, extending the Tiger lead to 19-9. Toal struck first, hitting a takedown with 35 seconds left in the opening period to go ahead early. Sasfy scored a second period escape, but Toal opened the third with an escape of his own and hit another takedown to secure his victory. Missouri got two more wins by fall at the 174 and 184 pound matches. At 174, No. 3 Dorian Henderson gave up a quick takedown off a scramble, but immediately reversed Brandonn Johnson into a cradle and stuck him in 1:18. Junior Mike Larson scored a fall late in the third period over Kwan Bailey to extend the Tiger lead to 31-9. After a scoreless first period, Bailey chose down to start the second and Larson went to work, working two tilts for a total of five points. In the third, Larson escaped to go up 6-0, and hit another takedown to take the 8-0 advantage. With riding time locked late in the third period it appeared that Larson was going to take the major decision, but he was able to lock Bailey into a cradle and score the fall with 18 seconds left. Kent State was able to pull an upset at 197, with Keith Witt earning a 2-0 decision over No. 12 Brent Haynes, but the Tigers returned the favor at heavyweight, as Devin Mellon knocked off No. 15 Brendan Barlow, 5-3. Mellon scored takedowns in the first and third period. Missouri returns home to the Hearnes Center next Sunday, Dec. 18 for the team's first home conference dual of the season. The Tigers will take on the Iowa State Cyclones beginning at Noon CT. For more information, keep checking into mutigers.com and follow us on Twitter (@MizzouWrestling).

COLUMBUS, Ohio– Four consecutive Buckeye wins at 133, 141, 149 and 157 pounds to end the match propelled the No. 6 Ohio State wrestling team to a 22-9 win over No. 9 Pittsburgh Friday night at Fitzgerald Field House in Pittsburgh, Pa. With the match tied, 9-9, a quartet of freshmen in Logan Stieber, Hunter Stieber, Cam Tessari and Josh Demas lifted the Buckeyes to their fifth dual win of the season, while also maintaining a perfect record. Tessari, who hails from Monroeville, Ohio, and ranked 15th in the nation at 141 pounds, clinched the win for the Buckeyes with his 6-3 decision over No. 11 Tyler Nauman. Tessari never trailed in the match, owning 2-0 and 6-2 leads after the first and second periods, respectively. Both teams were locked up at 9-all when No. 3 L. Stieber gave Ohio State a much-needed bonus point on a 9-1 major decision win over No. 20 Shelton Mack at 133 pounds. Up 7-1 in the third, L. Stieber had the riding time advantage, but a stalling call on Mack pushed the Buckeye from Monroeville, Ohio, to the major decision and the Scarlet and Gray to a 13-9 lead. At 141 pounds, No. 6 H. Stieber, (Monroeville, Ohio) tacked on another three points for Ohio State after he decisioned Travis Shaffer, 7-5. The score was tied, 4-4, entering the third period, but H. Stieber recorded a takedown for a 6-4 lead, while also adding riding time. Shaffer managed an escape, but that was not enough as the Buckeyes took a 16-9 lead. Demas, a Columbus native, wrapped up the night with an 8-6 victory vs. Donnie Tasser. After Tasser evened the score, 4-4, in the second, Demas, the 19th ranked wrestler in the nation, answered with a pair of takedowns at the end of the second and in the third periods for the win. The matchup between Ohio State and Pittsburgh began at 165 pounds between Buckeye freshman Derek Garcia and Tyler Wilps. Tied at 2 a piece early in the second period, Garcia quickly took a 4-2 lead on a takedown. However T. Wilps cut the lead to one (4-3) on an escape before the period came to an end. With Garcia choosing bottom in the second, the Buckeye from Sedro Woolley, Wash., escaped for a 5-3 lead. Scoring a takedown, T. Wilps sent the first match of the evening into overtime on a takedown, but Garcia scored the sudden victory takedown in extra periods for the 7-5 win. No. 20 Ethan Headlee took a quick 2-0 lead in the first period over No. 4 and redshirt sophomore Nick Heflin at 174 pounds. However, after an escape, the Buckeye from Massillon, Ohio, followed with a takedown to take a 3-2 lead after one period. With a 5-2 lead with two periods in the books, Heflin won the match, 8-2, on another takedown and a second stalling call on Headlee. Redshirt junior C.J. Magrum earned the Buckeyes their first bonus point of the night when he recorded a 13-5 major decision over Max Thomusseit at 184 pounds. With both wrestlers tied, 3-3, in the second period, Magrum answered with a takedown for a 5-3 advantage and entering the third period, Magrum owned a 7-4 lead. In the final period, the Oak Harbor, Ohio, native added a pair of takedowns, an escape a riding time advantage for the win. Freshman Andrew Campolattano (Bound Brook, N.J.) and sixth-ranked Matt Wilps were tied, 2-2, after the first period, but a second stalling call on Campolattano, coupled with M. Wilps riding time, gave the Panther a 4-2 victory. With the Buckeyes up 10-3 over the Panthers, Buckeye redshirt sophomore Peter Capone from Johnson City, N.Y., was up next vs. No. 16 Zac Thomusseit. Down 4-2 early in the match, Capone could not overcome Z. Thomusseit's lead and eventually lost by a 12-6 decision. After an intermission, No. 13 and freshman Johnni Dijulius (Aurora, Ohio) and No.17 Anthony Zanetta battled to a 0-0 score after the first period. At the start of the second, Dijulius escaped Zanetta and immediately followed with a takedown for a 3-0 lead. A second and third stalling call on Dijulius gave Zanetta two points and the Buckeyes were deducted a team point on a bench warning. An escape by Zanetta on the restart at the end of the second and an escape to start the third gave Zanetta a 4-3 lead. However, Dijulius had the riding time and with no further scoring, the match was forced into overtime. A penalty point was awarded to Zanetta in sudden victory for the 5-4 win.

The fifth-ranked Penn State Nittany Lion wrestling team dominated No. 10 Lehigh in the 100th dual meet between the two venerable eastern powers and rolled to a 24-12 win in LU's Stabler Arena. The Nittany Lions won six of ten bouts, bolted out to a big early lead and coasted to the victory to take a 63-34-3 lead in the all-time series. True freshman Nico Megaludis (Murrysville, Pa.) ranked No. 15 nationally at 125, put Penn State up 3-0 early with a resounding 4-0 win (with 2:44 in riding time) over Lehigh's Mason Beckman. Lehigh countered with a 10-7 win for Chris Dinnien over Lion junior Derek Reber (Lewisburg, Pa.) at 133. Junior Bryan Pearsall (Lititz, Pa.) made his season dual debut in fine fashion with a dominating 12-2 major over LU's Jimmy Carucci (with over 4:00 in riding time) at 133. Three-time All-American Frank Molinaro (Barnegat, N.J.), ranked No. 1 at 149, then dominated Lehigh's Anthony Salupo to the tune of a 14-3 major with 3:53 in riding time. Red-shirt freshman Dylan Alton (Mill Hall, Pa.), ranked No. 10 at 157, majored Sean Bilodeau 10-1 to give Penn State a 15-3 lead at the break. In marquee match-up at 165, Penn State All-American David Taylor (St. Paris, Ohio), ranked No. 1, downed No. 9 Brandon Hatchett 8-5 with 1:09 in riding time. All-American Ed Ruth (Harrisburg, Pa.), ranked No. 2 at 174, then built up a 12-1 lead over LU's Nathaniel Brown after two periods before Brown injury defaulted, giving Ruth the six team points and clinching the dual meet victory for Penn State (24-3). In a rematch of last year's national championship bout at 184, Nittany Lion Quentin Wright (Wingate, Pa.), the defending national champion, dropped a tough 8-3 decision to top-ranked Robert Hamlin, whom he defeated in the finals last year. At 197, 10th-ranked Lion freshman Morgan McIntosh (Santa Ana, Calif.) was held out of action after being a bit banged up from the Nittany Lion Open last Sunday. Junior Justin Ortega (Oxford, Pa.) stepped in and nearly upset No. 7 Joe Kennedy of Lehigh before dropping a hard-fought 2-0 decision. Nittany Lion senior Cameron Wade (Twinsburg, Ohio), ranked No. 8 at heavyweight, then lost a hard-fought 3-2 decision to defending national champion Zach Rey. Penn State moves to 2-1 on the year while Lehigh falls to 5-3. Penn State dominated the dual statistically as well, winning the takedown battle 16-7 and picking up riding time points in six matches (while Ruth had over 3:00 in his injury default win).

Megaludis set the tempo early, forcing Beckman back towards the edge of the mat. Beckman continued to play defense for the first half of the period while Megaludis continued to force the LU grappler off the mat. Beckman finally got hit with a first stall warning at the ;30 mark and Megaludis continued to pressure the Mountain Hawk. The first period ended in a 0-0 tie and Megaludis chose down to start the second. He quickly escaped to a 1-0 lead and then proceeded to force Beckman off the mat over again. Beckman got in deep on Megaludis' right leg with his first shot at the 1:20 mark but Megaludis was able to force a stalemate with 1:08 left in the period. Megaludis got in on a low single with :50 left and finished off the takedown to move out to a 3-0 lead. The Nittany Lion rookie then rode Beckman out to lead 3-0 with :44 in riding time. Beckman took a second long time out to have some blood cleaned off his nose and chose down to start the third period. Megaludis controlled Beckman for the entire period, keeping Beckman down while the Hawk crawled out of bounds repeatedly. The ride out gave Megaludis a 4-0 win with 2:44 in RT. 133: Junior Derek Reber (Lewisburg, Pa.) took on LU's Chris Dinnien at 133. Dinnien caught Reber on the edge of the mat, nearly pinning him but getting the quick takedown. Reber, however, deftly reversed the Hawk wrestler for a 2-2 tie at the 1:20 mark. Reber then put together a strong ride, building up over a minute in time. But Dinnien reversed Reber and then turned him to his back for three near fall points to lead 7-2 after one period. Reber chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 7-3 deficit. Reber got in on a low single and forced a scramble, but Dinnien countered the move for his own takedown to up his lead to 9-3 with :20 left. Reber escaped before the period ended and nearly scored at the end of the period, but time ran out and the Lion trailed 9-4. Dinnien chose down to start the final period and escaped to a 10-4 lead. Reber then got his first takedown and then began trying to turn the Hawk, trailing 10-6. Dinnien was able to keep from giving up the near fall and, though Reber got the riding time point, won 10-7. 141: Junior Bryan Pearsall (Lititz, Pa.) took to the mat for Penn State at 141 to take on Lehigh's Jimmy Carucci. Pearsall, making his season dual debut, turned a low single into a takedown on the edge of the mat to lead 2-0 at the 2:18 mark. Once in control on top, Pearsall began looking for an opportunity to turn Carucci for back points. Pearsall stayed in control and got a two point near fall with :30 on the clock to lead 4-0. The Lion junior then tagged on two more back points as the period ended to lead 6-0. Carucci chose neutral to start the second period but Pearsall quickly got in on a single, forced a scramble that lasted nearly :30, and finished off the takedown to lead 8-0 with 1:15 on the clock. Pearsall spent the rest of the period looking for a turn and kept control for a ride out and an 8-0 lead with 3:36 in RT. Pearsall chose down to start the third period and quickly escaped to a 9-0 lead. But Carucci got his first takedown to cut the lead to 9-2 with 1:25 on the clock. Pearsall, with a clinched riding time point, reversed Carucci to lead 11-2 with 1:00 left in the match. Pearsall forced Carucci into a stall warning with :17 on the clock and then rode the Hawk out for a 12-2 major with 4:17 in RT. 149: Three-time All-American Frank Molinaro (Barnegat, N.J.), ranked No. 1 at 149, met Lehigh's Anthony Salupo. Molinaro got his first takedown by using a high single and lift to put Salupo to the mat with 1:48 on the clock. Molinaro then put together a strong ride, keeping Salupo on the mat for the rest of the period to lead 2-0 with 1:48 in riding time after one. Molinaro chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 3-0 lead. Molinaro then used a high double to take Salupo down once more for a 5-0 lead with 1:10 on the clock. Molinaro cut Salupo loose with :45 on the clock to begin looking for another takedown. But Salupo turned in quickly and took the Lion senior down to cut the lead to 6-3 after a quick Molinaro escaped. An energized Molinaro notched another takedown with :10 on the clock and led 8-3 with 2:20 in RT after two. Salupo chose neutral to start the third period but Molinaro quickly scored again, lifting the Hawk off the mat and taking a 10-3 lead with 1:20 on the clock and a clinched riding time point. Molinaro then turned Salupo for three near fall points and a 13-3 lead. Salupo could not break free and Molinaro's ride out gave him the 14-3 major with 3:53 in riding time. 157: Red-shirt freshman Dylan Alton (Mill Hall, Pa.), ranked No. 10 at 157, met Lehigh's Sean Bilodeau. Alton scored first, getting an early takedown to lead 2-1 after a Bilodeau escape. The duo battled evenly after that with Bilodeau fighting off numerous Alton shots to keep the bout close. But Alton's pressure paid off as the Lion freshman got a late takedown, sending Bilodeau to his back for three near fall points and a 7-1 lead after one period. Bilodeau chose down to start the second stanza but Alton was dominant in control, keeping Bilodeau down and building up a 2:37 riding time advantage with a ride out. Leading 7-1, Alton chose neutral to start the third. Alton quickly gained control of Bilodeau's right ankle, forcing a tie-up on the edge of the mat. But a stalemate sent action back to the center circle with 1:08 on the clock with Alton still up 7-1. Alton forced Bilodeau's head to the mat, circled around the LU grappler and upped his lead to 9-1 with another takedown. An Alton ride out and a bonus point gave the Lion a 10-1 major and put Penn State up 15-3 at the intermission. 165: Sophomore All-American David Taylor (St. Paris, Ohio), ranked No. 1 at 165, battled Lehigh senior Brandon Hatchett, who was ranked No. 9. Taylor fought off an early Hatchett shot but was then taken down to trail 2-0 at the 2:08 mark. Taylor deftly scrambled his way to a reversal and a 2-2 tie with 1:20 on the clock. Hatchett escaped to a 3-2 lead with :40 on the clock and carried that lead into the second period. Taylor chose down to start the second stanza and quickly escaped to a 3-3 tie. He never lost contact w/ Hatchett, forced a scramble and got his first takedown at the 1:40 mark to lead 5-3. Hatchett escaped to a 5-4 deficit at the 1:10 mark. Taylor used a quick low double off a reset w/ :10 left to take Hatchet down again and lead 7-4 after two. Hatchett chose down to start the final period but could not break free of Taylor's control as the Lion sophomore built up a 1:09 time edge before Hatchett escaped to a 7-5 deficit. Taylor fought off a late Hatchett shot and with the bonus point, posted an 8-5 win. 174: Sophomore All-American Ed Ruth (Harrisburg, Pa.), ranked No. 2 at 174, met Lehigh freshman Nathaniel Brown. Ruth scored first, getting a quick takedown to lead 2-0 at the 2:43 mark. He quickly tried to lock up a cradle and end the bout, but Brown was able to roll through to stay in the match. Ruth finished off a nearside cradle for three near fall points and a 5-0 lead midway through the period. Ruth maintained control of Brown for the rest of the period and led 5-0 with 2:42 in riding time heading to the second. Ruth chose down and steadily worked his way to a reversal and a 7-0 lead. Ruth then cut Brown loose at the :30 mark and added another takedown at the :18 mark. He locked up a cradle and nearly pinned Brown at the buzzer, picking up three near fall points to lead 12-1 with a clinched riding time point (3:34) heading into the third. Brown could not continue after being injured as the period ended and Ruth got six team points for the injury default (he was leading 12-1 at the time). 184: In a rematch of last year's national championship bout at 184, junior Quentin Wright (Wingate, Pa.), ranked No. 5 as the defending national champion, took on No. 1 Robert Hamlin of Lehigh, last year's runner-up. Hamlin drew first blood with a strong takedown to lead 2-1 after a quick Wright escape. Wright nearly picked up a takedown, forcing a solid scramble on the edge of the mat, but Hamlin was able to work his way into position to notch his second takedown and lead 4-1 after one period. Wright chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 4-2 deficit. Wright worked for a takedown but Hamlin was able to hold his 4-2 lead heading into the third. Hamlin chose down to start the period, quickly reversed Wright and led 6-3 after a quick Lion escape. Wright attacked Hamlin, appearing to take him down at the :40 mark, but Wright did not get the call and trailed by three still. Hamlin countered a slight Wright shot, added another takedown and posted a strong 8-3 win over Wright 197: Junior Justin Ortega (Oxford, Pa.) filled in for No. 10 Morgan McIntosh (Santa Ana, Calif.) at 197 to take on No. 7 Joe Kennedy of Lehigh. Ortega appeared to have a takedown, locking up a cradle on the edge of the mat. But like Wright before him, he did not get the call and the bout moved on at a scoreless tie. The Lion junior battled the fifth-year LU senior evenly for the entire period and went to the second period tied 0-0. Kennedy chose down to start the second stanza and worked his way to an escape and a 1-0 lead. The duo traded shots for the bulk of the period with neither wrestler finding a solid opening to score until Ortega nearly finished off a high single as the period ended. But the buzzer sounded and action moved to the final period with Ortega down 1-0. Ortega chose down to start the third period but could not break free of a strong Kennedy ride as the seventh-ranked senior built up more than a minute in riding time first and then rode Ortega out for a hard-fought 2-0 win. 285: Nittany Lion senior Cameron Wade (Twinsburg, Ohio), ranked No. 8 at heavyweight, took on defending national champion Zach Rey of Lehigh, who was ranked No. 3. The duo battled evenly for the first period, with neither man finding a real solid opening to score as action remained in the center circle. The bout went to the second period in a scoreless tie and Rey chose down to start the second. A quick escape gave the third-ranked Rey a 1-0 lead and the duo continued action in the center circle. Rey got the bout's first takedown at the :58 mark, using a high single to take a 3-1 lead after Wade escaped. Trailing 3-1 after two periods, Wade chose down to start the final period and quickly escaped to a 3-2 deficit. Wade worked for an opening to take the lead, but Rey's defense was solid and the Mountain Hawk All-American was able to hold on to his lead and escape with a tough 3-2 win.

The No. 3 Minnesota wrestling team dominated from the start of the evening in route to its 34-6 pounding over No. 13 ranked Iowa State. Minnesota picked up eight wins on the evening including four wins by a major decision and one fall. With the win, Minnesota improves to 4-2 overall on the season and the Cyclones fall to 0-7 on the year. In front of over 3,000 fans inside Williams Arena, the Gophers picked up the first points of the dual at 125 lbs. as Zach Sanders won his match by a forfeit. Iowa State did not have a 125 ponder in the line-up. David Thorn was the first real match of the evening. He picked up a 14-5 major decision victory over RJ Hallman. Thorn had total control of the match as he ended with 3:48 of riding time and scored six takedowns. Minnesota would go onto to win the next three matches. Nick Dardanes won a 3-2 decision over Luke Goettle, Dylan Ness picked up a 13-3 major decision against Joe Cozart and the highlight of the evening came at the 157 lbs. match between Alex Oritz and Mike Moreno. Both were tied up for the majority of the opening period before Oritz scored the two-point takedown and quickly turned that into a pin, with 20 seconds left, to put the Gophers up 23-0 at the intermission. Iowa State picked up wins in the first two matches to score six team points after the break, but Minnesota would fight back strong to take the last three. Kevin Steinhaus, Sonny Yohn and Tony Nelson all were victorious for the Gophers to close out the night. Steinhaus won by a 16-3 major and Yohn picked up an 11-0 major victory.
