COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Senior heavyweight Dom Bradley was named Wrestler of the Week by the Mid-American Conference for the first time in the 2012-13 season. Bradley is 8-0 on the season after his five straight wins this past Saturday at the Joe Parisi Open at Lindenwood University. Dom BradleyBradley, ranked No. 2 in the nation, took first place in the heavyweight bracket by pinning three straight opponents and winning the semifinals and finals matches by decision. The three pins came in a total time of 6:59. He defeated Austin Marsden from Oklahoma in the final to take home first place.

Freshmen Connor Ryan and Alex Meyer, both members of the UI wrestling team, were arrested last night by UI Police for illegally hunting rabbits on the University of Iowa campus with BB and air rifles. Both student-athletes have been suspended indefinitely. They will now work through the processes outlined in the University of Iowa Code of Student Life and the UI Athletics Department Student-Athlete Code of Conduct. No other information is available at this time and no further comment will be made until a definitive outcome is realized.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan wrestling head coach Joe McFarland announced Wednesday (Nov. 21) that five student-athletes -- Domenic Abounader (Gates Mills, Ohio/St. Edward HS), Adam Coon (Fowlerville, Mich./Fowlerville HS), George Fisher (St. Charles, Ill./Marmion Academy), Brian Murphy (Carol Stream, Ill./Glenbard North HS) and Ben Whitford (St. Johns, Mich./St. Johns HS) -- have signed National Letters of Intent during the early signing period to attend U-M and compete in wrestling next fall. The class includes four individuals listed among the top 20 national recruits by InterMat, and all five members are ranked among the top 15 at their respective weight classes. The group has combined for nine state titles and 15 Fargo All-America citations in freestyle and Greco-Roman. "We couldn't be more excited about having these guys join our program," said McFarland. "All five of them embody the type of student-athlete that we look for at Michigan, and I think they will all fit into our program quite well. They all are athletic, aggressive and have a great work ethic. I really like the character and commitment that they bring to our program. Over the years, those are the kind of guys that have found a lot of success in our program." Listed as the nation's top-ranked 195-pound wrestler and No. 20 overall recruit, Abounader is a two-time Ohio state champion at powerhouse St. Edward High School, winning at 182 pounds as a junior (2012) and 160 pounds as a sophomore (2011). He boasts a 99-8 career prep record with just two losses over the last two seasons. Off the mat, Abounader was a two-year starter at free safety on St. Edward's nationally ranked football team. He is projected to compete at 184 or 197 pounds for Michigan. Coon, the nation's top-ranked heavyweight and No. 2 overall recruit, is a three-time Michigan state champion, claiming back-to-back titles at 215 pounds (2010, '11) before winning at 285 pounds as a junior (2012). He owns a career prep record of 157-3, including a 106-0 mark over the last two seasons. Coon has excelled in the international styles, capturing a USA Wrestling Triple Crown in 2012 with Junior National titles in Greco-Roman, freestyle and folkstyle. He also captured the 100 kg/220-pound freestyle title at the 2011 FILA Cadet World Championships in Hungary. Off the mat, Coon earned all-state football honors at linebacker and is a two-time all-state performer in the shot put. He will wrestle at heavyweight at Michigan. Listed as the nation's No. 14-ranked 132-pound wrestler, Fisher captured an Illinois state title at 119 pounds as a sophomore (2011) and is a two-time state finalist, taking second place at 126 pounds last season. He owns a 113-17 career prep record. Earlier this month, he captured the 132-pound title at USA Wrestling Preseason Nationals. Fisher will likely wrestle at 133 or 141 for Michigan. Ranked No. 2 nationally at 152 pound and as the No. 11 overall recruit, Murphy is a three-time Illinois state placewinner, claiming second place at 140 pounds (2011) and 152 pounds (2012) after placing third at 130 pounds as a freshman (2010). He is 129-13 in his prep career, posting a near-perfect 34-1 mark as a junior last season. Murphy is a three-time Fargo All-American in freestyle, capturing a 2010 Cadet title at 140 pounds. Off the mat, he earned all-conference honors as starting quarterback and safety at Glenbard North High, which will play in the Illinois Class 8A state championship game this weekend. He is projected to wrestle at 157 or 165 pounds for Michigan. Whitford, the nation's No. 4 overall recruit, is a three-time state champion, claiming two titles -- at 119 and 130 pounds -- at Marmion Academy in Illinois before capturing a 140-pound crown in his native Michigan last season. He boasts a near-perfect 127-1 career prep record, including undefeated seasons as a freshman (44-0) and junior (42-0). In international styles, Whitford is a five-time Fargo champion, winning three freestyle titles and two Greco-Roman titles. He missed last summer's tournament with injury. He will likely wrestle at 141 or 149 pounds at Michigan. Michigan will fill out its incoming class with several additional members in the spring.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Virginia's Jon Fausey has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Wrestler of the Week after recording a pin of the nation's eighth-ranked 174-pounder and accounting for half of the 17th-ranked Cavaliers’ scoring in a hard-fought 26-12 loss to No. 4 Iowa. Fausey, a native of Dalmatia, Pa., pinned the Hawkeyes’ Grant Gambrell in the second overtime period (8:29) to improve to 5-0 on the season. Fausey, who entered the match ranked ninth nationally by InterMat, moved up to the eighth spot in this week’s rankings following last Friday's match, which was held on a neutral mat at Chattanooga. The Virginia-Iowa match featured 12 wrestlers who are ranked nationally in their respective weight classes, including 11 ranked among the top 10.

OREM, Utah -- Air Force senior Cole VonOhlen (Jackson, Minn.) has been named the Western Wrestling Conference Wrestler of the Week, as announced today by the league. It marks the first time this season and eighth time in his career that VonOhlen has been awarded the honor. VonOhlen, currently ranked 11th in the nation by Intermat at 149 pounds, won his second-straight individual title this past weekend, taking first place at the UNK Holiday Inn Open. VonOhlen earned the tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler award by posting a perfect 4-0 record on Saturday. He opened the day with a fall in 56 seconds, while scoring a technical fall and a decision in his next two bouts. He then captured the title by pinning Augustana’s Nate Herda in a time of 2:56. With his two falls in the tournament, VonOhlen moved to 42 falls for his career, matching the Academy’s school record for career pins. The Falcons are off from competition this weekend, but return to action next week at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, Nov. 30-Dec. 1.

BLOOMSBURG -- Bloomsburg University senior Josh Roosa (Mountaintop/Crestwood) has been named the Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) Wrestler of the Week for the period ending Nov. 18. Josh Roosa (Bloomsburg Sports Information)This past weekend Roosa won the 149-pound weight class at the Keystone Classic in Philadelphia winning five matches on the day and helping the Huskies to a fourth place finish as a team. Roosa, seeded second, won his first bout over his Harvard opponent by a tech fall (in 6:30), then, tallied a 13-5 decision over his opponent from Boston University. In the quarterfinals he scored a win by major decision, 12-3, over a wrestler from VMI. In the semi-finals he beat Dylan Marriott Northwestern, 7-3. In the championship match, Roosa faced first-seed Kevin Tao of American University, who is a nationally ranked NCAA qualifier and who placed second in the 2012 EIWA Tournament. Roosa grabbed the gold with a 5-2 victory over Tao. Bloomsburg head coach John Stutzman said Roosa, who has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, is finally healthy and wrestling well. "Josh (Roosa) keeps doing what is needed to continue to get better," said Stutzman. "I know that a healthy Roosa is a good Roosa." Bloomsburg, 3-1, will be back in action this Saturday at the Northeast Duals.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa senior Matt McDonough has been named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week, the conference office announced Tuesday. The weekly honor is the third of McDonough's career. Matt McDonoughThe two-time NCAA champion earned the accolade following a pair of pins and two victories over top 10 opponents last week in Iowa's season opener. McDonough opened his season with a first period fall against Cumberland's Zach Shelton. He followed that up with a 9-4 decision over No. 5 Matt Snyder (Virginia) and a first period pin against No. 9 Nick Soto (Chattanooga). The three wins extended his winning streak to 31 matches. The Hawkeyes return to the mat Saturday inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena when they host the Iowa City Duals. Iowa hosts Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Cornell College and Iowa Central in three consecutive duals beginning at 9 a.m.

Johnny Sebastian is a running back on a Bergen Catholic football team in the state semifinals (Photo/Rob Preston) While the high school wrestling season doesn't start in earnest until about ten days from now, the regular season did start in a couple of states this past weekend. However, of greater interest to the early part of the season for some ranked teams is how football programs are performing. Generally speaking, it takes two weeks at minimum -- and more likely even three weeks -- to get wrestlers back on the mat after the end of the football season. This is due to recovery/transition time after the football season, working down to wrestling weight, and getting acclimated into wrestling condition. In the Illinois state tournament, No. 33 Glenbard North and No. 10 Montini Catholic saw their football teams advance to the state finals in Class 8A (big-school) and Class 5A respectively. Those two football title games will be held on Saturday in Champaign, Ill. For Glenbard North, Brian Murphy -- ranked No. 2 nationally at 152 pounds, and No. 11 overall in the senior class -- is the starting quarterback and also contributes on defense. The Panthers are scheduled to begin their wrestling season this weekend at the Conant Invitational. However, in the bigger picture, early season targets for them are a Dec. 20 dual against No. 28 Carl Sandburg, Ill., before the Dvorak Invitational that weekend. Montini Catholic's football team has returning state placer Michael Maduko (170) as a starting linebacker, state qualifier Anthony Ferraro (195) starting at offensive guard, and state placer Edgar Ruano (220) is a starting defensive tackle. The trio of Broncos' multi-sport athletes is juniors. The overall wrestling schedule is rigorous with key early competition including a quad that also features No. 12 Marist, Ill. next weekend, the Walsh Ironman on Dec. 7 and 8, and the Dvorak Invitational two weekends after that. No. 21 Allen, Texas has their football team in the second round of a six-round state football tournament in Class 5A Division I. The 10-1 Eagles will be playing undefeated Mesquite this weekend. Key wrestlers contributing to the football team are quarterback/athlete Oliver Pierce -- ranked No. 3 nationally at 152 pounds, and No. 14 overall in the senior class; linebacker Nick Cobb, a three-time state champion and No. 18 nationally at 195 pounds; as well as defensive lineman Stone Drulman (220), third at state last year. Allen's initial wrestling competitions are in two weeks time -- Dec. 6 in a triangular meet at Broken Arrow, Okla., and the following two days in the Mid-Am Nationals at Tulsa Union. No. 26 Cincinnati Moeller, Ohio had its football team advance to the Division I (big-school) state football semifinals this coming weekend after a 24-21 victory over nationally ranked Cincinnati Colerain. It was the second win for the Crusaders in football over nationally ranked opposition in four weeks, having beaten Louisville (Ky.) Trinity in the last regular season game. From a wrestling perspective, the Crusaders schedule starts next weekend with the Moeller Duals, while the Walsh Ironman and SWOWCA Coaches Classic are the following two weekends. Five juniors with state wrestling experience are on the football roster. Most notable among them are starting defensive lineman Chalmer Frueauf (220/285), who has placed fourth at state each of the last two years, and returning state third placer Dakota Sizemore (170) who also contributes on the defensive line. 2011 state placers Jerry Thornberry (195/220) and Dean Meyer (152/160) are rostered on the defensive line and at running back, while state qualifier Quentin Rooser (182) is rostered as a linebacker. No. 31 Blue Springs, Mo., had its football team advance to the Class 6 (big-school) title game this coming weekend at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. In terms of the wrestling squad, state placer Austin Reyes is a starting offensive lineman. The Wildcats' wrestling schedule commences next weekend with a pair of dual meets in Kansas, the Staley Duals on December 8th, and the Kansas City Wrestling Classic the next weekend. No. 34 Colonial Forge, Va., plays in the Division 6 (big-school) regional football championship this weekend. A trio of upper-weight starters are a part of the Eagles football squad: junior Chris Carter (195), sophomore Patrick Grayson (220), and senior Matt Beaulieu (285). The four weekends after this one feature key wrestling tournaments: the Skyline Elite Opener, Walsh Ironman, King of the Mountain, and Beast of the East. Both No. 37 Bergen Catholic and No. 43 Don Bosco Prep have their football teams making playoff runs in New Jersey's non-public Group 4. The perennial football powers play in regular season games this week before battling with each other on the field in the state semifinal on Nov. 30. A win there would put them in the state title game the next week. Each school starts wrestling in a Dec. 15 tournament, and they compete in the Beast of the East the next weekend, which is two weeks after the football championship. Bergen Catholic's football team features state qualifier Carmine Goldsack (285) on the offensive line, while state champion Johnny Sebastian -- who is ranked No. 5 nationally at 182 pounds, and No. 18 overall in the junior class -- is part of the running back rotation. Six-time defending state champion Don Bosco has its two best wrestlers as part of the defensive line on the football -- state champion Razohnn Gross (195) and state placer Zach Chakonis (220), who is ranked No. 25 overall in the sophomore class. As for some actual wrestling that happened this past weekend: No. 7 Brandon, Fla., competed in the Chamberlain High School 10-way this past weekend. The Eagles had nine dual meets and shut out each and every opponent. It was a stellar debut, and they'll return to the mats for competition next weekend with the Troy Smith Duals at Gateway. Brandon is off this coming weekend. No. 22 Perry Meridian, Ind., hosted the season opening Capital City Classic this past Saturday, and validated their standing as top team in the Hoosier State with a dominant tournament title. The Falcons scored 309 points in winning eight of fourteen weight classes, and four others finishing second. Champions included Jacob Cottey (113), Brandon James (126), No. 18 Cody LeCount (132), Nick Bova (138), Keanu Cooper (152), Riley McClurg (160), Jake Masengale (182), and No. 5 Donte Winfield (285). Second place in the eight-team tournament was Warren Central, ranked No. 13 in the Hoosier State, with 251 points. They had five of the other six weight class champions, along with two others who finished in second place. This coming weekend is "opening weekend" for the state of Illinois. Probably the feature of the schedule is a match between No. 12 Marist and No. 13 Oak Park River Forest as part of Saturday's Marist Thanksgiving Wrestling Quad. From an individual standpoint, a match between returning state runners-up Mark Duda (Marist) and Matt Rundell is possible at 120 pounds. Unfortunately, Marist will be without returning state placer Peter Andreotti (160), as he recovers from an injury sustained during football.

The NCAA wrestling season slows down this week, so T.R. Foley has invited former teammate and former roommate Brian Muir on as his special guest. Though Muir is mostly concerned with finding a new place to lease after an unfortunate run-in with a landlord, he's optimistic about Turkey Day 2012. Foley and Muir recount for listeners what is was like to be at U.Va. during the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks and why, maybe surprisingly, they look back on those weeks as the best from college. Also, some lines for the Grapple in the Garden. Do you want to listen to a past episode? View archives.

Michigan 141-pounder Camryn Jackson shined this weekend (Photo/John Sachs, Tech-Fall.com) This is my second roundup of notable results from the past week's NCAA Division I wrestling competition, complete with annotations. Your emails and comments are welcomed and encouraged. Tournaments Sunday, Nov. 18 Keystone Classic The 125-pound weight class final saw Northwestern's Dom Malone beat Penn's 13th-ranked Mark Rappo in sudden victory. There was another upset in the 133 finals as Northwestern's tenth-ranked Levi Mele lost to Cal Poly's Devon Lotito 4-2. Penn's Charles Cobb wins the 141-pound weight class, and in the process upends Harvard's 13th-ranked Steven Keith in the semi-finals. In the tournament's feature match, Northwestern's third-ranked 157-pounder Jason Welch beat Bloomsburg's seventh-ranked Frank Hickman 5-2. Indiana's heavyweight Adam Chalfant, ranked 12th, who has shown flashes of greatness in the past, is starting to grow into his potential. He beat fifth-ranked Mike McMullan of Northwestern in the finals 5-3. Saturday, Nov. 17 Joe Parisi Lindenwood Open Let's start with the most interesting results first, Oklahoma State's Jordan Oliver debut at 149. Oliver crushed his competition, notching four pins and majoring one time Iowa starter Mike Kelly before drubbing Mizzou's 15th-ranked Drake Houdashelt 12-4 in the finals. It is worth mentioning that Houdashelt was coming off a quality win against another Cowboy, eventual third-place finisher Josh Kindig, 4-1 in the semis. Oliver appears, thus far, to have suffered no negative effects in performance from his big bump up in weight. Nathan McCormick of Missouri, like his kin who wrestled for Mizzou before him, is cobbling together a nice collegiate career as quietly as possible. In the 133 finals, the ninth ranked Nathan defeated Oklahoma State's 11th-ranked Jon Morrison, 4-3. At 141, Mizzou's 15th-ranked Nick Hucke loses in the third round to OSU's Julian Feikert, and the final eventually pits two more Mizzou Tigers against one another, with Trevor Jauch edging teammate Eric Wilson. Freshman Alex Dierenger of OSU justified his No. 9 ranking by beating Missouri's 18th-ranked Kyle Bradley by 12-3 major decision in the 157 finals. Missouri, who apparently has a top 20 wrestler in seemingly every weight class, sent 13th-ranked Zach Toal to the 165 finals. There he met the No. 3-ranked wrestler in the nation, Tyler Caldwell of Oklahoma State, and was defeated 7-0. Oklahoma State's top-ranked Chris Perry pins 19th-ranked Missouri wrestler Todd Porter, only 78 seconds into the 174-pound final. In what was possibly the upset of the week, Oklahoma State's sixth-ranked Blake Rosholt fell to McKendree State's Kyle Reid 10-4 in the 197 semifinals. In other news, Mizzou's fifth-ranked Brent Haynes, the eventual champion, only beat Iowa freshman and maybe/maybe not redshirt Nate Burak, 1-0. Burak placed third. Navy Classic In the 165 semifinals, Bucknell's 16th-ranked Corey Lear falls to Jacob Schalles of Navy by pin. The match of the night was in the heavyweight finals, 14th-ranked Odie Delaney of The Citadel scored the biggest win of his career, beating reigning All-American and 10th-ranked Jeremy Johnson of Ohio by a score of 7-6. This is a rematch of their NCAA round of twelve meeting last year where Johnson won by pin. In a near total non-sequitor, Levi Cooper who defeated Odie last weekend, was pinned this week by Grand Canyon's Tyrell Fortune. Cooper has beaten Fortune in the past. New York State Intercollegiates Cornell's Nashon Garrett knocks off Hofstra's seventh-ranked Steve Bonnano in the 125 finals 13-9. Hofstra's 14th-ranked 133-pounder, Jamie Franco, falls to Binghampton's Dan Riggi in the semifinals. Riggi would get second to teammate Derek Steeley. Cornell's 12th-ranked Joe Stanzione was the top seed at 141, but he falls in the second round to Army's Connor Hanafee, and then in the consolation finals to Hofstra's seventh-ranked Luke Vaith, 12-4. En route to a first place finish at this weight, Cornell's Mike Nevinger beats Vaith 1-0 in the semifinals. At 174, top seed and 11th-ranked John Martin Cannon of Buffalo goes down to Hofstra's unranked Jermaine John in the first round. Cornell's Marshall Peppelman still seems to not have hit his stride, he places sixth here. Dual Meets Sunday, Nov. 18 Clarion 21, Eastern Michigan 10 Nebraska 25, North Carolina 12 At 184, Nebraska's sixth-ranked John Ihnen beat 19th-ranked Alex Utley, 10-4. Nebraska 32, South Dakota State 7 An upset occurred here as the 13th-ranked Cornhusker, Jake Sueflohn falls to Dustin Walraven. North Carolina 36, South Dakota State 6 Minnesota 30, Boise State 6 Minnesota, ranked third by InterMat, keeps steam rolling its opposition. Fourth-ranked 184-pounder Kevin Steinhaus beat BSU's 12th-ranked Jake Swartz 7-3; sixth-ranked Gopher Chris Dardanes beat 12th-ranked 133-pounder Brian Owen. Ohio State 26, Pittsburgh 13 Logan Stieber is scary good. The reigning 133-pound champ pins Pitt's Shelton Mack, the seventh-ranked wrestler at his weight. It appears as if Andrew Campolattano may redshirt, in his stead the OSU has tapped C.J. Mangrum as the starting 197-pounder. Here Mangrum losses to the Pitt's second-ranked Matt Wilps, 13-3. No. 8-ranked heavyweight, Zac Thomusseit of Pitt, beat Ohio State's 19th-ranked Pete Capone, 5-1. Penn State 44, West Virginia 3 As if PSU wasn't tough enough already, they have an overachieving 141-pounder who seems keen on clawing his way into the top 20. This dual saw PSU's Bryan Pearsall beat 19th-ranked Nathan Pennesi of WVU, 2-0. Virginia Tech 32, Wisconsin 6 Tech's 10th-ranked 141-pound wrestler, Zach Neibert, notches the biggest win of his career to date, knocking off third-ranked Badger Tyler Graff, 4-3. A few years ago in St. Louis, David Marone, was a couple converted shots away from being an All American. He is a ways away from that form at present. Marone, currently the 15th-ranked heavyweight in the nation, lost to Wisconsin's 16th-ranked Connor Medberry, 3-2. Wisconsin 35, Campbell 7 Michigan 26, Stanford 6 Saturday, Nov. 17 Arizona State 29, CSU Bakersfield 10 Lehigh 18, Bloomsburg 12 What a difference a redshirt can make. Lehigh's 157-pounder Joey Napoli is on fire. Here he beats seventh-ranked Frank Hickman of Bloomsburg, 6-0. Purdue 37, Northern Illinois 0 Friday, Nov. 16 Cornell 30, Binghamton 7 Iowa 26, Virginia 12 Iowa, ranked second by InterMat, is really good. As good as they are, I can't help but detecting a sense of angst from Hawkeye fans regarding the prospects for this year's team. Whatever the reason for this, Iowa's lineup is loaded with talent; UVA and its coaching staff deserve great credit in fielding a team that is capable of testing them just a bit. Top-ranked Matt McDonough won 9- 4 against UVA's fifth-ranked, and always nightmarish to score upon Matt Snyder. At 165, fourth-ranked Mike Evans defeated eighth-ranked Nick Sulzer, 7-4. In a matchup of former 184-pounders in the 174-pound match, UVA's ninth-ranked John Fausey pinned eighth-ranked Grant Gambrell during overtime ride outs. Michigan 21, Oregon State 18 An upset at 141 pounds as Oregon State's second-ranked Mike Mangrum falls to Camryn Jackson 10-8. Fifth-ranked Beaver 149-pounder, Scott Sakaguchi seems to be building off his All-American finish last March, here he bests Michigan's 11th-ranked Eric Grajales, 9-6. At 197, Oregon State's 13th-ranked Taylor Meeks beat 20th-ranked Max Huntley, 5-3. Michigan State 25, Eastern Michigan 11 Iowa 37, Chattanooga 6 Top-ranked 125-pound wrestler, Matt McDonough, pinned UTC's ninth-ranked Soto in the first period. Minnesota 27, Nebraska 7 In a battle of tough sophomores, UM's Logan Storley beats Nebraska's Robert Kokesh in sudden victory, 3-1. Fourth-ranked Gopher 184-pounder Kevin Steinhaus continues to be the model of consistency as he beats sixth-ranked Husker Josh Inhen, also 3-1. Ohio State 23, Virginia Tech 10 Jesse Dong wasn't in the lineup for Va Tech, but it wouldn't have mattered. At 125, Tenth-ranked Jarrod Garnett got revenge for an NCAA round of twelve loss to the OSU's eighth-ranked Nikko Triggas, 10-2. Fourth-ranked Buckeye 141-pounder Hunter Stieber beat tenth-ranked Zach Neibert, 8-5. Nick Brascetta won't be ranked 19th for much longer, the Tech 149-pound sophomore beats seventh-ranked Cam Tessari, 5-3. Ohio State heavyweight Pete Capone, ranked 19th, was a 152-pounder in high school, now he is beating ranked heavyweights on the division one level. Here, his latest victim is 15th-ranked Hokie Dave Marone. North Dakota State 24, Boise State 15 NDSU is another program that is quietly very good, here, their 157-pounder, Hayden Zillmer upsets BSU's 20th-ranked George Ivanov in overtime. At 184, 12th-ranked Bronco Jake Swartz majors a very tough 17th-ranked Mac Stoll, 13-5. Old Dominion 19, Wisconsin 12 ODU a rebounds from last week's lopsided dual meet losses to Mizzou and Purdue, and notches a win against a big ten opponent. Tyler Graff, ranked third for the Badgers at 141 pounds, registered a win over ODU's 16th-ranked Justin LaValle, 8-4. Penn State 29, Lehigh 6 Penn State flirts with a shut out of the Mountain Hawks. At 149, PSU calls forth one of its stellar backups, James English, who beats Lehigh's 18th-ranked Shane Welsh, 5-2. Thirteenth-ranked 157-pound Mountain Hawk Joey Napoli stormed to a 5-2 upset of PSU's second-ranked Dylan Alton. 174 saw PSU's Matt Brown, currently No. 4 in the nation, dominate 18th-ranked Nate Brown (no known relation), 12-1. Finally in the marquee match of the weekend: No. 1-ranked Ed Ruth of Penn State, 11, and third-ranked Robert Hamlin of Lehigh, 9. I am careful to not describe this match as having a real loser. Also, anyone who was able to see this match won big. Thursday, Nov. 15 Ohio State 40, Davidson 3 It was really cool of Tom Ryan to visit Davidson. Perhaps he wanted to show his wrestlers beautiful Lake Norman, N.C., shooting site of some scenes in standout television show, Homeland. Last week's missed super upset: Illinois' Jordan Blanton, ranked fifth at 174 pounds, fell to Nebraska's Micah Barnes at the Cyclone Open.

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- The No. 16-ranked University of Michigan wrestling team wrapped up its West Coast road trip in decisive fashion, claiming eight matches, including each of the first seven, to earn a 26-6 victory against Stanford on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 18) at the Cardinal's Burnham Pavilion. The Wolverines earned a pair of bonus points, including a 16-6 major decision from sophomore/freshman Camryn Jackson (Lansing, Mich./Eastern HS) at the dual's opening weight of 141 pounds. Jackson converted on six takedowns, including three in the opening frame, and a second-period reversal and accumulated 4:03 in riding-time advantage to defeat Josh Lauderdale and improve to 5-0 on the season. Senior/junior Eric Grajales (Brandon, Fla./Brandon HS) and junior/sophomore Jake Salazar (Midway, Utah/Wasatch HS) bounced back from disappointing Friday losses to earn back-to-back decisions at 149 and 157 pounds, respectively. Grajales, ranked 11th, took advantage of a high-scoring third period to defeat Timmy Boone, 13-6, in the former. He scored a first-period takedown and second-period reversal to build an early advantage and converted on three more attacks in the final frame to seal the match. After a scoreless first period at 157 pounds, Salazar broke open his match against Kyle Meyer in the second, earning a quick escape before taking Meyer down and turning him for three points. The Wolverine wrestler added another takedown in the third to claim an 8-2 decision. Freshman Taylor Massa (St. Johns, Mich./St. Johns HS) rolled to an 11-5 decision against Bret Baumbach at 165 pounds, scoring on four takedowns -- two apiece in the first and third periods -- and accumulating 3:02 in riding-time advantage. He gave up a reversal midway through the third period but escaped quickly and converted on another late leg attack to finish the match on top. Senior/junior captain Dan Yates (Hesperia, Mich./Hesperia HS) earned Michigan's other bonus win at 174 pounds, posting a dominant 18-5 major decision against Thomas Kimbrell to remain unbeaten on the season. The Wolverine captain, ranked 14th, jumped out to a big lead with a pair of first-period takedowns and late three-point leg turk before adding three more takedowns in the third and building 3:54 in time advantage.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A fast start that included two pins and a pair of major decisions in the first four matches helped lift the fifth-ranked Ohio State wrestling team to a 26-13 win over No. 18 Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon in St. John Arena. The Buckeyes improve to 3-0 on the season, while the Panthers drop to 0-2. In all, Ohio State won six of 10 matches and had a 23-0 lead at the halfway mark. Back-to-back pins by senior Nikko Triggas and redshirt sophomore Logan Stieber at 125 and 133 pounds, respectively, immediately gave the Buckeyes a 12-0 advantage. Facing Godwin Nyama, Triggas, scored a takedown before pinning Nyama in 2:32. Stieber followed suit, pinning No. 7 Shelton Mack in 4:26. Stieber was up 8-0 before tallying six team points for the Scarlet and Gray. Leading, 2-1, and, 5-1, after the first and second periods, sophomore Hunter Stieber added four points to the Buckeye score on a 10-2 major decision over Travis Shaffer in the 141-pound matchup. Sophomore 149-pounder Cam Tessari rebounded from his opening dual-season loss at Virginia Tech with an 11-3 major decision victory vs. Donnie Tasser. Holding on to a 4-1 lead after the first period, Tessari quickly got to work and increased his advantage to 8-2 after the second period. One of the more exciting matches of the afternoon, it was a last second takedown by Josh Demas in the 157-pound bout that propelled the Buckeye redshirt sophomore to a 3-1 win against Troy Reaghard. Following a scoreless tie after the first period, an escape by Reaghard was the only scoring in the second. Demas answered Reaghard's escape with one of his own and as the more than 1,000 fans in St. John Arena were about to settle in for some overtime wrestling, Demas notched the takedown en route to his eighth win of the season. Ohio State's Nick Heflin was the remaining Buckeye to put points on the board for the Scarlet and Gray. Wrestling at 174 pounds, the Buckeye redshirt-junior's riding time of 1:07 was the difference maker in a 3-3 score at the end of regulation. Freshman Mark Martin held his own vs. No. 16 Tyler Wilps at 165 pounds. With both wrestlers scoreless after the first period, Martin trailed Wilps 2-1 at the conclusion of the second. An escape and takedown by Wilps, however, sealed the first victory of the afternoon for Pittsburgh. The Scarlet and Gray dropped their last three matches from 184 pounds-heavyweight. Once again, riding time was the deciding factor in the 184-pound match. Tied, 2-2, against No. 14 Max Thomusseit, redshirt freshman Kenny Courts, could not overcome Thomusseit's 1:18 of riding time. Senior C.J. Magrum dropped a 13-3 major decision to No. 2 Matthew Wilps and Peter Capone lost, 5-1, to No. 8 Zac Thomusseit. Up next, Ohio State will travel to Las Vegas, Nev., for the CKLV Invitational Nov. 30-Dec. 1. The Buckeyes' next home match is at 7 p.m. Dec. 14 vs. Kent State in St. John Arena. Postmatch Notes • Redshirt sophomore Logan Stieber was honored during a pre-match recognition. A banner was dropped from the St. John Arena rafters recognizing his 2012 Big Ten and NCAA Championships. • Senior Nikko Triggas continues to add to his falls record total. Triggas now has three this season and 39 for his career, which is fifth all-time at Ohio State. • Four Buckeyes - Josh Demas (8-0), Nick Heflin (6-0), Hunter Stieber (10-0) and Logan Stieber (7-0) - are the lone Buckeyes to remain undefeated this season. • Eighty-six percent of Logan Stieber's wins have been bonus point victories. Stieber, 7-0, has three falls, two technical falls and one major decision. Postmatch Quotes Tom Ryan, Ohio State head coach On Ohio State's performance I believe we had four matches that were up for grabs and I was right. They beat us up in all four of those matches and that is not where we need to be. On Josh Demas and his win With 10 seconds left Josh could have waited until overtime, but he didn't. He got the shot for the finish at the buzzer. He is good, but we have to get him scoring more because he has a tremendous offensive and he is just not opening up. On the heavier weights and getting them to score more We have to work harder and get them to work harder. Kenny [Courts] is coming off a knee injury and two major surgeries, so his body is still adjusting. We have to continue to go after the opponent. Josh Demas, redshirt sophomore 157-pounder On his match I did well. I have to create more space and be aware of when I am going out of bounds. On his expectations I thought I was going to score more, but my opponent [Troy Reaghard] was trying to slow me down, so I could lose my speed. I'm aware of what I need to fix. On his win with 10 seconds left I was not nervous. My coaches told me to never get nervous. I knew if I continued to go after him he would eventually break or get tired. Peter Capone, redshirt junior heavyweight On the team's performance It was a better dual meet than against Davidson and Virginia Tech. Everyone was a lot more confident against their opponents. Our lightweights did really well with their pins. On what he needs to work on in practice My match did not go as well as I wanted it to go. I have to continue to get in better shape and be aware of my opponents more. On the upcoming invitational in Las Vegas I'm really excited for it. It's a two-day tournament, so the opponents are more spread out.

Clarion, Pa. -- Only a few days after being named Clarion’s head coach, Troy Letters watched his Golden Eagles win 7 of 10 bouts and deliver him his first collegiate win with an impressive 21-10 victory over Eastern Michigan on Sunday. Held at Waldo S. Tippin Gymnasium, Clarion evened its NCAA Division I wrestling record at 1-1, while EMU dropped to 0-2. “Overall we did a nice job today,” said Letters. “I thought we were aggressive, took the battle to them and in a number of matches, and finished some bouts off with some nice takedowns. Winning is a mentality – you have to stay aggressive late in the third period to win big matches. That’s where we want to be at all ten weight classes.” Clarion won seven bouts on Sunday including victories from Joe Waltko at 133, John Matacic at 141, Tyler Bedelyon at 149, #4 James Fleming at 157, Ryan Darch at 174, Justin Ortega at 197 and Phil Catrucco at heavyweight. The match started with EMU’s #19 rated Jared Germaine posting a 12-3 major decision over freshman Tyler Fraley at 125. Down 4-0, the Eagles roared back at 133 with senior Joe Waltko posting a 6-4 win over Vincent Pizzuto. A second period reversal put Waltko in front 3-1 in the second, and a ket takedown midway through the third put the Eagle senior up 5-2 on his way to the win. Freshman John Matacic scored two, first period takedowns, and then closed the match with a takedown for a 6-3 win over Seth Schaner at 141, then Tyler Bedelyon defeated Justin Melick 7-3 at 149 to put Clarion ahead 9-4. Bedelyon used a five-point move in the second period to post the win. The feature match had #4 rated Fleming taking on #19 ranked Aaron Sulzer at 157. Fleming posted first and second period takedowns for a 4-0 lead after two periods, then rode Sulzer the entire third period for the win. During the bout, the EMU bench was cited for conduct and had a team point deducted from their score. Clarion led 12-3 after 157. Nick Milano lost a 7-3 decision at 165 to Jacob Dorulla, but Ryan Darch got the points back with a 3-2 win over Mike Curby at 174. Darch escaped in the third to tie the bout 1-1, then posted a takedown midway through and won by a 3-2 margin. Steven Cressley lost a major an 18-5 major decision to Philip Joseph at 184, but the Golden Eagles rallied to win the final two bouts with Justin Ortega gaining a 6-4 overtime win against Khodor Hoballah at 197, and Phil Catrucco won 5-2 over Chris Egger at heavyweight. In Ortega’s win, he held a 4-1 lead entering the third period with takedowns in the first and second period. But Hoballah used a late, three-point near fall to toe the match and sent it to overtime. In overtime Ortega scored a takedown 39 seconds into the period to win 6-4 and gave Clarion an insurmountable 18-10 lead. Catrucco used two, third period takedowns to defeat Eggert 5-2.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Penn State wrestling team, holding the No. 1 spot on Intermat's TPI, rolled through West Virginia in the first road dual of the year for the team. The Nittany Lions, under the direction of head coach Cael Sanderson, used four pins to post the 44-3 victory in Morgantown. Sophomore All-American Nico Megaludis (Murrysville, Pa.) got Penn State's its first dual meet pin of the year by getting a fall at the 5:53 mark over WVU's Gage Swartz. West Virginia picked up a tough win at 133 when No. 17 Colin Johnston battled to a 6-2 victory over Lion sophomore Nate Morgan (McCook, Neb.). Nittany Lion senior Bryan Pearsall (Lititz, Pa.0 then posted a superb 2-0 win over No. 19 Nathan Pennesi of West Virginia, using an escape and full third period ride-out to post the victory.

All five wrestlers bring with them a long list of high school accolades and will battle for starting spots as true freshmen next fall." Butler is a two-time Kansas state champion and a three-time state placer out of Leavenworth High School. He is rated as the No. 7 recruit in the nation at 285 pounds by FloWrestling and No. 8 by InterMat.

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. -- After falling to No. 2 Penn State the night before, the Lehigh wrestling team rebounded with an 18-12 victory over the Bloomsburg Huskies on Saturday afternoon at the Nelson Fieldhouse. Junior Joey Napoli earned an important win at 157 over sixth-ranked Frank Hickman en route to the Mountain Hawks’ second victory of the season. Lehigh will now be idle until November 30 when it will host Hofstra at 7 p.m. "It was a tough turnaround from last night," said head coach Pat Santoro. "Some guys had a good performance, but some were a little lack-luster. That’s part of being young and you have to have a short memory. I don’t think we had the intensity that we wanted our guys to be at, but we’re going to get better from this." The Mountain Hawks and Huskies split the first two bouts with junior Alex Abreu winning 4-2 over Sean Boylan before freshman Laike Gardner was knocked off 6-1 by No. 17 Nick Wilcox for a 3-3 draw entering the third bout. At 141, No. 18 sophomore Anthony Salupo used a late two-point take down and riding time to break a 1-1 tie for a 4-1 decision over Matt Rappo to give Lehigh a 6-3 lead in the match. No. 19 senior Shane Welsh overcame a two-point take down by Josh Roosa at 149 with two escapes and a point from riding time for the 3-2 victory to bump Lehigh’s team score to nine, as Bloomsburg stayed at three after the fourth bout of the afternoon. At 157, junior Napoli used two take downs, an escape and riding time to beat his second top-six wrestler in as many days with a 6-0 victory over Frank Hickman. With 30 seconds remaining in the first period, Napoli took down Hickman for an early two-point lead, and followed his take down with an escape early in the second. He then added another take down late in the second period before riding time tacked on the extra point as the Mountain Hawks lead grew to 12-3 entering intermission. "He was probably our most aggressive wrestler today," said Santoro. "He’s worked hard all year and it’s starting to pay off now. He still wants to get better and win a national championship this year." In front of a large number of hometown supporters, No. 20 freshman Eric Hess grabbed a quick 2-0 lead over Josh Veltre with a take down just seconds into the 165 bout. After a two-point reversal by Veltre to even the score, Hess used a reversal of his own for a 3-2 advantage. Hess added a late escape for the 4-2 win as the Mountain Hawks’ lead reached 15-3. Sophomore Nathaniel Brown opened at 174 with an escape followed by a quick take down of Chris Smith for a 3-0 advantage in the first period. Brown finished the bout off with a 4-1 victory after adding a point of riding time after a late Smith escape to push Lehigh’s lead to 18-3 after yet another three-point decision victory for the Mountain Hawks. The Huskies picked up their second win of the afternoon as Andre Petroski defeated senior Kevin Bailey 4-2 to cut Lehigh’s lead to 18-6. Bloomsburg rounded out the afternoon with two more wins at 197 and the heavyweight bouts as No. 19 Richard Perry notched a 7-3 win over freshman John Bolich before No. 19 Justin Grant defeated freshman Jack Delia 3-2 to wrap up the match, as Lehigh ended with an 18-12 victory. After this weekend’s split, the Mountain Hawks will now break until Friday, November 30 and Saturday, December 1 when they will host Hofstra at 7 p.m. and Penn at 1 p.m., respectively, at Leeman-Turner Arena inside Grace Hall. "They are both really good teams and high level programs," said Santoro. "It’s going to high intensity matches and we’re going to have to wrestle very well to win those matches." Tickets can be purchased by calling 610-7LU-GAME, by logging on to Lehighsports.com, or by visiting the Grace Hall ticket office on match night.

CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Sophomore/freshman Camryn Jackson (Lansing, Mich./Eastern HS) earned a big upset decision at 141 pounds to headline the No. 16-ranked University of Michigan wrestling team's 21-18 victory over No. 10 Oregon State on Friday evening (Nov. 16) at the Beavers' Gill Coliseum. The Wolverines won five individual matches, earning three bonus wins, to claim their second straight win over a ranked opponent. Camryn JacksonJackson scored four takedowns, including two takedowns in the final 30 seconds of the third period, to knock off No. 2-ranked Mike Mangrum, 10-8, and extend U-M's early advantage to 10 points after three matches. After each wrestler scored on two takedowns in the first and second periods, Jackson elected to start neutral in the third trailing 6-5 and with Mangrum owning riding-time advantage. The score evened when Mangrum was hit with a second stall call before Jackson scored on a double leg to take a narrow lead with 30 seconds remaining. Mangrum escaped again even the score -- factoring in the riding-time point -- but Jackson finished on another double leg off a restart with 15 seconds to go, riding out the match to improve to 4-0 on the season. Jackson's decision followed back-to-back wins from senior/junior Sean Boyle (Lowell, Mass./Blair Academy) and freshman Rossi Bruno (Brandon, Fla./Brandon HS) at 125 and 133 pounds, respectively. Boyle cruised to an 12-3 major decision over Pat Rollins at the opening weight, scoring on two takedowns and two reversals while adding a two-point tilt in the first period. Boyle, ranked 14th, earned his first reversal quickly in the third period and after letting Rollins loose with the major in mind, gave up a double-leg takedown midway through the frame. He promptly reversed the Beaver wrestler again and rode out the match to accumulate 4:32 in time advantage. Bruno used a late takedown to secure a 3-1 decision against Drew Van Anrooy at 133 pounds. After a scoreless first period, the wrestlers traded escapes early in the second and third to keep the score deadlocked late in the match. The Wolverine rookie failed to score on a high-crotch attempt on the edge midway through the final period but finished on his next attempt, shooting in deep on a single leg and working through the ensuing to score the winning takedown with just 15 seconds remaining in regulation. The Beavers responded to Jackson's upset with decisions from its ranked wrestlers at 149 and 157 pounds before Michigan earned big points with consecutive bonus wins from freshman Taylor Massa (St. Johns, Mich./St. Johns HS) and senior/junior captain Dan Yates (Hesperia, Mich./Hesperia HS). Massa, ranked 10th, rolled to a dominant 21-3 technical fall against Alex Elder at 174 pounds, scoring on two takedowns and earning 15 total back points. The wrestlers traded takedowns in the opening minute, with Elder countering a Massa attack to score his points. The Wolverine freshman escaped and immediately took Elder to his back for five points. He tilted him to add six more back points in the first and earned two more three-point near falls in the second to end the match at 4:29. Yates earned a first-period fall against Austin Morehead at 174 pounds, jumping out to a quick five-point advantage before ending the bout at the 2:54 mark. The Wolverine captain, ranked 14th, got Morehead in a half from the neutral position and took him down, working to turn him to earn the pin just before the buzzer. Yates is 4-0 on the season with four bonus wins. The Beavers claimed the final three matches, earning bonus points with a first-period pin at 184 pounds. Taylor Meeks, ranked 13th at 197 pounds, fought off a deep second-period shot before using a late counter takedown to edge junior/sophomore Max Huntley (Emerald Isle, N.C./Blair Academy), 3-1. Needing to avoid the pin in the final match to preserve the Wolverine victory, sophomore/freshman Justin Dozier (Woodhaven, Mich./Woodhaven HS) dropped a 13-8 decision to seventh-ranked Chad Hanke at heavyweight. He countered a Hanke shot midway through the third period to hold the Beaver wrestler to a decision. The Wolverines (3-1) will close out their west-coast road swing on Sunday (Nov. 17), heading to Palo Alto, Calif., to face Stanford at 2 p.m. at Burnham Pavilion.
