ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 7-ranked University of Illinois wrestling team ended the weekend by defeating No. 8 Michigan 31-9 at Cliff Keen Arena on Sunday. Today's 22-point margin is the largest since Illinois' 30-6 victory over Northwestern on Jan. 31, 2010. After defeating Purdue, Lock Haven and Michigan during the three-day span, it's the first time since the 2005-06 season, the Illini have won three duals in one weekend. "We wrestled as well today as we have all year against a very good team," head coach Jim Heffernan said. "We are extremely proud of the effort, enthusiasm and competitiveness the team showed across the board. Michigan is a strong dual team with some very good individuals. It was a long weekend for everyone, but our guys proved to be mentally tough and showed that we are in great physical condition at this point in the season." The dual began at 165 as Conrad Polz recorded his first win over a ranked opponent this season as he moved past No. 18 Dan Yates with a 3-1 decision. The redshirt-junior scored a late double-leg takedown with 25 seconds remaining in the bout and put the Illini up 3-0. "We got off to a great start with Polz," Heffernan said. "Conrad is as skilled as anyone in the country at his weight and has done an exceptional job working his way back from injury." Illinois pushed the score to 15-0 after two Illini pinned their competition at 174 and 184. Dan Stelter went undefeated over the weekend while defeating his first ranked opponent in Michigan's No. 18 David Johnson. Stelter posted his first pin this season at the 4:22 mark while Tony Dallago wins back-to-back bouts by fall. Dallago moved past Hunter Collins in 2:10 for his sixth pin this season. Michigan got on the scoreboard with back-to-back decisions over Mario Gonzalez at 197 and Pat Walker at heavyweight. Both Illini lost their bouts by a one-point margin with Gonzalez losing 5-4 and Walker dropping the 1-0 decision to bring the score to 15-6 at the intermission. At 125, Delgado scored eight takedowns and two escapes to move past Michigan's Grant Pizzo with an 18-8 major decision. The freshman went undefeated this weekend and bumped his record to 21-2 to own the best record on the Illini squad. B.J. Futrell defeated No. 17 Zac Stevens in a 9-8 decision as the junior scored a late escape to move the Illini's score to 22-6. Daryl Thomas dropped a close 6-4 decision to No. 2 Kellen Russell to give the Wolverines three more points. Russell ended the first period with two takedowns to Thomas' one escape. One point was scored in the second as the Wolverine recorded an escape to lead 5-1 heading into the third. Thomas' escape and takedown in the third wasn't enough to defeat Russell. No. 14 Eric Terrazas defeated his first ranked opponent as the senior beat No. 4 Eric Grajales with a 6-3 decision. Terrazas scored two takedowns during the second and third period, along with an escape and riding time to earn his third win this weekend. In the last bout of the match, Jackson Morse needed just 4:07 to pin Brandon Zeerip and give the Illini to 31-9 victory over the Wolverines. The pin marked Morse's fifth fall this season. The Illini will return to action on Friday (Jan. 13), hosting Minnesota for a 7 p.m. CT dual at Cliff Keen Arena. Results: 165 -Conrad Polz (ILL) dec.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- The No. 5 Big Red wrestling team won seven out of 10 bouts en route to a 24-12 victory over No. 8 Lehigh on Sunday afternoon in Newman Arena. In the premier match of the day at 184 pounds, No. 4 Steve Bosak defeated No. 1 ranked Robert Hamlin, 2-1. Cornell's 12 point margin of victory was its largest over Lehigh since 1930 when the Big Red defeated the Mountain Hawks, 20-6. Cornell improves to 2-0 (1-0 EIWA) in dual action this season, while Lehigh moves to 5-4 (1-1 EIWA). The dual began at 125 pounds where freshman Bricker Dixon took on Alex Abreu. Dixon wasted no time putting points on the board with a takedown with only three seconds off the clock. The Big Red freshman rode his opponent out for the remainder of the period. Dixon chose to start the second period down on the mat and quickly escaped. With 45 seconds left in the period, Dixon added another takedown. Dixon later chose an optional start looking to score more points, but Abreu evaded him. Abreu chose to start the third period at neutral and neither wrestler scored again. With 3:06 in riding time, Dixon won a 6-1 decision in his first dual for the Big Red. At 133 pounds, senior Frank Perrelli moved up a weight class to face Mason Beckman. Sixth-ranked at 125 pounds, Perrelli quickly took the lead with a takedown with 12 seconds off the clock. The Big Red wrestler notched 1:01 in riding time before Beckman escaped. Beckman grabbed a takedown of his own 12 seconds later to take a 3-2 lead. Perrelli immediately escaped from his opening down position to start the second period, tying the bout at 3-3. Beckman notched another takedown, from which Perrelli would escape before the period was over. Beckman chose to start the third period at neutral. Perrelli had a little less than a minute of riding time before action resumed. With 1:27 left on the clock, Perrelli grabbed the lead with a takedown. Beckman would escape, but with 1:30 in riding time, Perrelli won a 7-6 decision. In the dual's first faceoff of two nationally ranked wrestlers, No. 19 Mike Nevinger took on No. 13 Steve Dutton at 141 pounds. With 1:16 left in the first period, Nevinger took a 2-0 lead with a takedown and rode his opponent out for the remainder of the first period. Nevinger chose top to start the second period. He worked the entire two minutes for back points, but was unable to secure the tilt. After failing to escape Nevinger for over three minutes of riding time, Dutton chose neutral to start the third period. With 33 seconds left in the bout, Dutton tied the match with a takedown. Nevinger nearly had a reversal at the end of the bout, but settled for a one point escape. With 2:42 in riding time, Nevinger won a 4-2 decision. At 149 pounds, Chris Villalonga faced Anthony Salupo. Salupo held a 2-1 lead after the first period with a takedown, from which Villalonga escaped. Salupo chose to start the second period at neutral, but neither wrestler was able to score. Villalonga got a quick escape from his opening down position to start the third, tying the bout at 2-2. With neither wrestler having a determining riding time advantage, the match looked to be heading to sudden victory. But with 17 seconds left in the bout, Villalonga notched a takedown to win a 4-2 decision. Top ranked Kyle Dake squared off against Brian Tanen at 157 pounds. Dake held a 13-0 lead after the first period with a takedown and four nearfalls. Tanen chose top to start the second period. Dake quickly escaped and with one more takedown, the two-time NCAA champion won 16-0 by technical fall in 3:45. Cornell held a 17-0 lead heading into the half-time break. At 165 pounds, Marshall Peppelman and Sean Bilodeau were scoreless after the first period. Bilodeau chose to start the second period down and earned the only point with an escape. Peppelman quickly escaped from his opening down position to start the third period to tie the bout at 1-1. Neither wrestler scored again in regulation to send the match into sudden victory. With only two seconds left in sudden victory, Bilodeau earned a takedown to win a 3-1 decision. Freshman Billy George and Nate Brown were scoreless after the first period at 174 pounds. George chose down to start the second period, but he was unable to escape. Brown chose down to start the third period, but he was unable to escape as well. With a 0-0 deadlock after seven minutes, the bout went into sudden victory. With six seconds left in sudden victory, Brown notched a takedown to win a 2-0 decision. In the highly anticipated bout at 184 pounds, junior Bosak and Hamlin were scoreless after the first period. Hamlin chose to start the second down, but was unable to escape until there were only 10 seconds left in the period. Bosak chose to start the third down, but Hamlin opted for an optional start tying the bout at 1-1. The two wrestlers traded shots back and forth, but neither wrestler was able to score. With 1:50 in riding time, Bosak won a 2-1 decision over the top ranked wrestler. At 197 pounds, No. 1 Cam Simaz took on Kadeem Samuels. With only 13 seconds off the clock, Samuels took a quick lead with a takedown. Simaz would escape and earn a takedown of his own midway through the period. Simaz added three more points with a nearfall to take a 6-2 lead into the second period. Simaz chose down to start the second period, but Samuels chose an optional start looking to score. Neither wrestler was able to score for the remainder of the period, and Simaz held a 7-2 advantage. Samuels chose to start the third period at neutral. With 20 seconds left in the bout, Simaz grabbed another takedown. With 1:47 in riding time, the Big Red senior won a 10-2 major decision. At heavyweight, Maciej Jochym took the mat against No. 2 Zach Rey. Jochym and the returning NCAA champion were scoreless after the first period. Rey quickly escaped to start the second period. He caught Jochym for the takedown and quickly turned him to his back. Rey won by fall in 3:46. The Big Red will open Ivy action next weekend as it travels to Penn and Princeton Saturday afternoon. Cornell will then make the quick trip to Binghamton on Sunday for a 5 p.m. bout. Results: 125: Bricker Dixon (Cornell) dec.

Related Link: J Robinson Audio Clips Related Link: Photos (The Guillotine) MINNEAPOLIS -- Sunday's dual meet between Minnesota and Ohio State in Minneapolis could be described as a tale of two halves. The Gophers swept the first six matches of the dual meet to take a commanding 21-0 lead. But the Buckeyes battled back, winning the next three matches, with two of those wins coming with bonus points, to cut the deficit to 21-13. Minnesota then took the final match to close out a 24-13 dual meet victory. "If you broke it down into two halves, the first half we wrestled really aggressive," said Minnesota coach J Robinson. "We kept the pressure on. In the second half we had some guys that were just trying to get by with wins. They weren't doing what they had to do to score. We have to be aggressive like we were the first half. We have to make things happen." True freshman Logan Storley set the tone early for Minnesota with a 4-2 victory over No. 5 Nick Heflin at 174 pounds in the first match of the dual meet. "Anytime you start off a dual meet with a win, it's a positive, and then when you beat a guy who is ranked fifth, it's good," said Robinson. Minnesota's Logan Storley gets nearfall points on Nick Heflin at 174 pounds (Photo/Mark Beshey, The Guillotine)Storley and Heflin battled to a scoreless first period. Heflin started the second period in the down position and Storley was able to tilt the Buckeye to go up 2-0. Heflin reversed Storley late in the second period to tie the match at 2-2. But a Storley escape in the third period, coupled with a riding time point, gave the Gopher true freshman a 4-2 victory. "It was a big win and it was a big dual meet," said Storley, who missed most of November and December with a high ankle sprain. "It was important to come out and get a win against a higher ranked wrestler." Storley, a six-time state champion in South Dakota, was coming off a third-place finish at the Southern Scuffle, where he went 5-1. "That was my first time being back, really," said Storley of wrestling at the Southern Scuffle. "I learned that I've got to wrestle throughout the entire seven minutes and continue to put pressure on people and not let them eke out victories at the end." After Storley's victory, Minnesota picked up wins from its four returning All-Americans -- Kevin Steinhaus (184), Sonny Yohn (197), Tony Nelson (285), and Zach Sanders (125) -- to take a commanding 18-0 lead into the intermission. Steinhaus earned a technical fall, 18-3, over Craig Thomas at 184 pounds. Yohn won a controlled 5-1 decision over Andrew Campolattano at 197 pounds. Nelson won a decision despite not getting a takedown, using an escape and riding time point for the 2-0 victory. Minnesota's Chris Dardanes gets in on a shot against Logan Stieber at 133 pounds (Photo/Mark Beshey, The Guillotine)Minnesota freshman Chris Dardanes, who was filling in for David Thorn, stunned No. 2 Logan Stieber at 133 pounds with a 5-3 victory. Stieber, a Junior World silver medalist, scored the first takedown of the match and took a 2-0 lead into the second period. But Dardanes added an escape and then a takedown of his own to go up 3-2 after two periods. A Stieiber escape in the third period tied the match at 3-3, but Dardanes remained offensive and picked up another takedown and held on for the 5-3 victory. "Dardanes came out and beat Stieber because he put pressure on him," said Robinson. Thorn, an NCAA qualifier last season, injured his back late in the week and the Gophers called on Dardanes. "I was prepared all week to wrestle Stieber, but I wasn't one-hundred percent sure I was going to wrestle," said Dardanes. "I was just glad to have the opportunity." Dardanes knew he had to keep the pressure on Stieber. "I wrestled him in the spring and knew he wrestled real low to the ground," said Dardanes. "He has those low shots. I knew to keep the pressure forward, keep my hands in. I knew he was going to wear down by the end of the match." With the victory, Dardanes improved to 16-2 on the season. One of his two losses this season came to teammate Thorn, 2-1 (overtime), at the Bison Open in November. Dardanes recently won the Southern Scuffle, while Thorn finished third in the same weight class. Dardanes does not know where his recent performances will put him on the Gophers' depth chart and is just focused on improving. "I'm not too sure right now of the status," said Dardanes. "He did beat me at the Bison Open. I'm pretty sure he's up a little higher than me. I'm just going to keep working and not have that get in the way of my training. I'm just going to keep winning." Hunter Stieiber, a true freshman, put Ohio State on the board at 141 pounds with an 11-8 victory over Nick Dardanes. At 149 pounds, Ohio State's Cam Tessari, also a true freshman, pinned Dylan Ness early in the second period. Ness led 8-4 after the first period, but Tessari was able to reverse and pin Ness in the the second period. "You can't get in those situations," Robinson said of Ness. "When you start flopping around and rolling around with people, those things happen. You can't put yourself in those situations." Ohio State's Josh Demas won by major decision, 13-5, over Alec Ortiz at 157 pounds. Minnesota's Cody Yohn, ranked sixth, then put a halt to Ohio State's run with a 5-3 victory over Derek Garcia at 165 pounds, which gave the Gophers the 24-13 dual meet victory. The Gophers improve to 5-2, while Ohio State falls to 7-2. Robinson believes he has a team that could potentially challenge for an NCAA title, but feels there are a lot of gains that need to be made before March. "We have our goals and what we want to do, but we're not there," said Robinson. "We're a ways off. We've got to be able to keep the pressure on like we did in the first half, in the second half. All those things will be important when we get to March." Results: 174: No. 11 Logan Storley (Minnesota) dec.

MILLERSVILLE, Pa. -- The Boston University wrestling team stretched its dual win streak to six on Saturday morning with a convincing 39-3 victory on the road against Millersville. The Terriers complete a two-win weekend and improve to 6-1 on the year.

LANCASTER, Pa. -- The Harvard University wrestling team recorded its first shutout in 10 years en route to a pair of wins Saturday at Millersville and Franklin & Marshall. The Crimson (3-1, 1-1 EIWA) swept Millersville for a 43-0 victory before taking out EIWA foe F&M, 29-12. Seven Crimson were a perfect 2-0 on the day, including No. 5 Walter Peppelman who recorded a pair of falls at 157 lbs. to improve to 13-3 overall. It took the junior co-captain all of 43 seconds to defeat Millersville's Zac Wawryniak and just 2:04 against F&M's Eric Norgard. Peppelman, who also posted two wins by fall yesterday, is now tied with Dawid Rechul '02 for fourth place on Harvard's career pins list with 22, including six this season, and needs just 10 more victories to move into the school's all-time top 10 for wins. 149-pounder Corey Jantzen, who returned to the Harvard lineup yesterday, improved to 4-0 with a pin of Millersville's Daniel Calzarette (3:48) and an 11-0 major decision over Andrew Murano of F&M. No. 13 Steven Keith won his first match by forfeit and picked up a 10-2 major decision over Robert Ruiz of Franklin & Marshall. Keith is 20-6 on the year at 133 lbs. with seven majors. Paul Liguori, Cameron Croy, James Fox and David Ng also went 2-0 on the day, with Liguori earning a 4-2 decision in his first bout at 165 lbs. and a fall at the 1:13 mark over F&M's Christopher Bacher in his second. Croy, the Crimson's 184-pounder, pinned Millersville's Miles Fischer just 1:23 into their match and took a 10-4 decision against F&M in the nightcap. Fox tallied a 12-3 major decision against Millersville at 197 lbs. and a 3-2 decision against F&M. Ng won both of his bouts by decision, 6-4 in sudden victory and 8-2, respectively. Harvard's shutout of Millersville was its first since defeating Boston College 31-0 on Feb. 9, 2002 at the Malkin Athletic Center. The 43 points were the most scored since a 50-0 win over Columbia on Feb. 9, 2001 at the MAC. The Crimson will return to action Saturday, Jan. 4 at the Lonestar Duals where it will meet Oklahoma, Appalachian State and Air Force.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- In their second home dual, No. 7 Illinois counted three pins on the way to defeating Lock Haven, 38-6. Jesse Delgado (125), B.J. Futrell (133) and Tony Dallago (184) notched the falls, while Eric Terrazas (149) and Dan Stelter (174) recorded technical falls to help the Illini improve to 5-1 in duals. "It was important for our some of our younger guys to get out and get their feet wet with this dual," head coach Jim Heffernan said. "I thought everyone did well today, especially with the quick turn around coming off of our dual last night at Purdue." Pat Walker started today's dual when he recorded a 10-5 decision over Harry Turner of Lehigh. The win is the sophomore's 10th victory this season, tying his career-high and putting the Illini up 3-0. The top of the Illini's lineup provided crucial points as Delgado and Futrell recorded pins over their respective opponents. Delgado began with a quick takedown and three back points before working Bobby Rehm into a pin at the 2:18 mark. Futrell came out fast scoring a takedown and three near-fall points, only to hook a cradle and stick John Trumbetti. With the decision and two quick pins, the Illini's lead increased to 15-0. At 141, Tucker Armstrong fought hard throughout his bout, however came up short with a 7-6 decision by Matt Bonson. Armstrong cut Bonson loose at the end of the third period and hit a takedown to tie it at 6-6, but time ran out and Bonson added riding time for the win, bringing the team score to 15-3. No. 14 Eric Terrazas (149) defeated his second consecutive opponent this weekend as he recorded a technical fall (16-1) in a time of 6:02. The senior was up 12-1 after the first three minutes before making Wilkinson pay with another takedown and a two-point near-fall for the victory. The win is Terrazas' fifth tech fall this season, a career-high for the Wheaton, Ill., native. With five bouts remaining, the Illini lead 20-3. At 157, Kyle Dooley won his fourth bout this season with his 10-5 decision over Lock Haven's Aaron Frye to increase the Orange and Blue's lead to 23-3. Adam Acheson (174) provided Illini fans with one of the best bouts all day, however the redshirt-freshman came up short as Lock Haven's Aaron McKinney came away with the 9-7 decision. That would be the last bit of scoring by the Bald Eagles as the final three bouts were dominated by the Illini. Stelter increased to 8-4 on the year after his first technical fall (21-6) of the season in a time of 6:21. With the victory, the Orange and Blue pushed the lead to 28-6. Dallago knotched the final pin of the match over Fred Garcia of Lehigh, coming at the 2:14 mark. The Harrisburg, Pa., native used one of his favorite moves and hit the headlock for the reversal and the fall. In the final bout of the day, Mario Gonzalez (197) recorded a 20-8 major decision, just his second of the year to bring the final score to 38-6. The Fighting Illini head to Ann Arbor tomorrow to compete against No. 8 Michigan in their final match of the weekend. The dual begins at 1 p.m. ET.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The ninth ranked University of Oklahoma wrestling squad earned a 26-10 victory over the Navy Midshipmen on Saturday evening inside the Wesley Brown Field House. The Sooners (4-2-0, 2-1-0) won seven bouts on the night, two of which were major decision victories and a fall. Navy (2-3) sustained their third loss of the year. "We beat a very physical, hard-nosed team tonight," head coach Mark Cody said. "We had the majors where we needed to, which was the difference in this dual. I think we have had a few good days of training and have shored-up a few of the mistakes we have made over the last couple weeks, but we are happy with the win.” OU jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the Sooners' tenth ranked Nick Lester downed Navy's Peyton Walsh, 11-7, in the 149 pound match. Lester had two takedowns, three escapes and a reversal in the win. Matt Lester dropped only his fourth bout of the year in the 157 pound bout. Lester lost an 8-6 decision to the Midshipmen's Bobby Barnhisel. Bubby Graham regained the lead for OU, 6-3, after the nation's 20th-ranked Sooner defeated Navy's Matt Jackson, 12-5. Graham earned a takedown in the first period. In the second, he earned a quick escape and added two more takedowns. The Sooner from Annapolis, Md., added two more takedowns and 2:31 in riding time. Graham's only points he gave up came on five escapes. Navy leaped ahead, 7-6, after Oscar Huntley earned a 12-4 victory by major decision over OU's Nolan McBryde. Luke Robertus, ranked No. 14, defeated the Sooner's 20th-ranked Erich Schmidtke, 5-4, in the 184 pound matchup. Schmidtke led 2-1 at the end of the second period. Schmidtke gave up a takedown and 2-point nearfall in the third. Trailing 10-6, the Sooners Keldrick Hall earned a 5-4 victory over Navy's Paul Rands. In the bout, Hall had two takdedowns and an escape to earn the win. At heavyweight, OU's Kyle Colling earned his second dual win of the year over the Midshipmen's Dan Miller, 11-2. The major is Colling's second in a row. Colling earned two takedowns, two nearfalls and an escape. In the 125 pound matchup, OU's eighth-ranked Jarrod Patterson earned the Sooners' second major of the night after he trounced the Naval Academy's Patrick Prada, 12-4. In the bout, Patterson earned five takedowns and an escape. OU led 20-10 after Jordan Keller, ranked No. 11, downed Navy's 20th-ranked Aaron Kalil, 4-2.

The redshirt freshman had four takedowns, an escape and nearfall. Up next, the Sooners travel to New York to take on No. 23 Binghamton on Tuesday, Jan. 10. Results: 149 – #10 Nick Lester (OU) dec.

PITTSBURGH -- The University of Pittsburgh wrestling team finished a perfect 4-0 at the Pitt Duals on Saturday. The Panthers, who hosted the event at the Fitzgerald Field House, improved to 8-1 on the season with wins over Columbia, Eastern Michigan, Princeton and VMI. Anthony Zanetta (125 pounds) and Matt Wilps (197) each posted 4-0 records on the day to keep their perfect dual season intact at 9-0. Zanetta -- ranked No. 15 by WrestlingReport.com -- registered a pair of decisions over ranked opponents, beating No. 18 Jared Germaine (Eastern Michigan) 9-5 and No. 22 Garrett Frey (Princeton) 7-5. He controlled Germaine the entire match on his way to a victory, but had to turn in a superb comeback effort in the win over Frey. Wilps faced little resistance during an unbeaten day, registering a fall, a 9-1 major decision, a 4-0 shutout and a win by forfeit. The redshirt junior is ranked fifth in the nation and has just three losses on the season, all to two wrestlers ranked in the top-five. No. 21 Shelton Mack and No. 29 Tyler Wilps each finished 3-0 and both had a win over a ranked opponent. Mack posted a decision over No. 27 Kyle Gilchrist (Columbia) while Wilps had a decision over No. 33 Eren Civan (Columbia). It was Wilps's second win in the last week over Civan, who is a two-time national qualifier. No. 18 Ethan Headlee also had a win over a ranked wrestler with a decision over Columbia's No. 29 Stephen West. He was 2-1 on the day. In all, Pitt had 12 different wrestlers record victories in the four matches. The Panthers were 27-13 in individual bouts. Tyler Nauman and Travis Shaffer had two wins apiece while Josh Pascazi, Joel Yahner, Victor Konno and Troy Reaghard all notched their first dual win of the season. Pitt entered Saturday's event with a perfect 11-0 record against their four opponents and upped that mark to 15-0 with the four wins. The Panthers are now 6-0 against Eastern Michigan, 4-0 over Princeton, 3-0 versus VMI and 2-0 in matches with Columbia. At 8-1-0 the Panthers are off to their best start to a season since also going 8-1-0 during the 1986-87 season. Coach Rande Stottlemyer's squad has started 7-1-1 through nine matches twice since then. Pitt will return to action on Friday, Jan. 13 when it hosts Lock Haven at the Fitzgerald Field House.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The No. 2 Oklahoma State wrestling team ended No. 1 Iowa's 84-dual unbeaten streak in spectacular fashion Saturday night by winning, 17-16, in front of a raucous crowd of 15,400 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The score after 10 bouts was 16-16, but the Cowboys earned the victory based off tie-break criteria, which in this case was total points scored in the dual, where the Pokes held a 54-49 advantage. Had Iowa won the match, it would have broken the NCAA-record Oklahoma State streak of 84 straight duals without a loss set from 1959-1966. The Hawkeyes' lost loss before today's was a 19-14 setback to OSU on Jan. 5, 2008. The Cowboys (6-0-0) and Hawkeyes (7-1-0) split the dual's 10 bouts. Because there were no falls or technical falls in the dual, the winner was decided by the third criteria; total points, with OSU outscoring Iowa by five. Alan Gelogaev started the dual with a bang for the Cowboys at heavyweight, scoring a pair of takedowns, a reversal and a three-point nearfall in a 10-3 major decision over Iowa's No. 7 Bobby Telford. The Hawkeyes responded to win three consecutive bouts at 125, 133 and 141 pounds that all featured top-10 matchups. Second-ranked Matt McDonough of Iowa picked up a 14-4 major decision over No. 9 Jon Morrison at 125 to tie the dual score at 4-4. Tony Ramos defeated Jordan Oliver at 133 pounds (Photo/Johnnie Johnson)In the most anticipated bout of the night, top-ranked Jordan Oliver battled fourth-ranked Tony Ramos to a 3-3 tie at the end of regulation. After neither wrestler scored in sudden victory, the bout was decided in overtime when Oliver was called for his third caution and no other points were scored, giving Ramos the 4-3 upset. It was Oliver's first loss of the year, breaking his streak of 10 consecutive wins by fall. OSU's No. 9 Josh Kindig nearly answered with an upset of his own over No. 5 Montell Marion at 141 pounds. Kindig clung to a 6-5 lead with just over 30 seconds remaining, but Marion scored a takedown and a two-point nearfall to seal a decision and put the Hawkeyes up, 10-4. The Cowboys tied the score at 10-10 after second-ranked senior Jamal Parks picked up an 8-3 win over Mike Kelly and senior Albert White, ranked No. 15, scored a late takedown to secure a 7-3 decision over Nick Moore at 157 pounds. The Hawkeyes and Cowboys went back and forth for the remainder of the dual. No. 10 Mike Evans of Iowa defeated Dallas Bailey, 5-1, at 165 pounds, OSU's Chris Perry earned an escape in the first tiebreaker to knock off No. 9 Ethen Lofthouse, 3-2, at 174 pounds and Iowa's Vinnie Wagner edged out Chris McNeil at 184 pounds to set up the last bout. Blake Rosholt made the most of his opportunity as he defeated No. 15 Grant Gambrall of Iowa, 8-4, to tie the match at 16-16. After the referees went to the scorebook and tallied the totals, Oklahoma State was declared the winner. Oklahoma State returns to action on Jan. 20 against Arizona State, the first of five consecutive dual meets at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Corey Borshoff earned his first win of the season in dramatic fashion at 133 lbs. to lead the No. 10 American University wrestling team to a 25-13 triumph at No. 19 Cal Poly Friday night in San Luis Obispo, Calif. Borshoff, a redshirt junior, trailed Cal Poly's Brandan Rocha, 10-5, heading into the third period, but turned the tide with a takedown and then a pin midway through the period to earn the win. The fall was Borshoff's fourth-career pin and it pushed AU's lead to near-unreachable 21-10 advantage with two wrestlers remaining. "Corey pulled out one of the most exciting victories I've seen in a while," remarked Head Coach Teague Moore. "He found a way to secure a fall that was the deciding factor in our victory. I cannot be happier for Corey." The dual began at 157 lbs. where No. 4 Ganbayar Sanjaa got American (3-4) off to a strong start with a technical fall over Cal Poly's Gianpier Yanez. Mark Cirello followed with an 11-3 major decision at 165 lbs. against Paul Woodman and American had jumped out to a 9-0 lead through two bouts. But Cal Poly (2-2) struck back with victories in the next three matches as AU's Phillip Barreiro (decision), Thomas Barreiro (major decision) and No. 14 Daniel Mitchell (decision) each went down at 174 lbs., 184 lbs., and 197 lbs., respectively. Blake Herrin got back the momentum for the Eagles, earning a 3-1 decision at heavyweight against Atticus Disney. Thomas Williams followed with a 3-0 decision at 125 lbs. over Michael Clemmens, which led to Borshoff's pin. AU and Cal Poly split the final two bouts with No. 14 Matt Mariacher dropping a 3-2 decision at 141 lbs. while Kevin Tao earned a 9-0 major decision at 149 lbs. to cap off the evening. "This was a total team effort tonight to win this match," added Moore. "Ganbayar led the team off in dominating fashion and Kevin finished it off well. I'm very proud of the guys tonight. We showed a lot of heart with only one of our ranked wrestlers finding a victory." AU has now won three consecutive matches after dropping its first four duals to open the season. American has also claimed victories on back-to-back nights in California following Thursday's win against Cal State Bakersfield. The Eagles will look to make it four dual victories in a row when they visit No. 23 Stanford on Sunday, January 8 at 5 p.m. EST.

The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has suspended the license of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Cristiane Justino Santos, better known in MMA circles as Cris Cyborg, and has fined her $2,500 as the result of a positive test for a banned substance. Santos' December 16, 2011 drug test came back positive for stanozolol metabolites. CSAC learned of the test results December 23, 2011 and suspended Santos's license, with the suspension applied retroactively to December 16, 2011. In accordance with Rule 368, the result of her last fight between Hiroko Yamanaka will be changed to a "No Decision". "Our primary concern is for the health and safety of fighters," said CSAC Executive Officer George Dodd. "Anabolic agents and other banned substances put not only the users of those agents at risk, but their opponents as well. The commission simply will not tolerate their use." The use of certain substances, including anabolic steroids, is prohibited under the Commission's regulations, and CSAC has among the toughest drug testing standards of any Athletic Commission in the country. It is the only commission that requires urine samples to be taken in the presence of a commission representative prior to a bout. Santos's provision of a urine sample was observed by a CSAC representative and the sample was sent to the World Anti-doping Agency test facility at the University of California, Los Angeles. Santos has the right to appeal the suspension of her license.

EVANSTON, Ill. -- The No. 8-ranked University of Michigan wrestling team won the final five matches en route to a dominant 28-9 road win at Northwestern on Friday evening (Jan. 6) at Welsh-Ryan Arena. The Wolverines won eight individual matches overall, earning bonus points in four, to improve to 2-0 in Big Ten Conference dual action.

Yates rallied to defeat Pierce Harger, 5-2, in the former match, scoring on a quick first-period escape and takedown after giving up an early takedown. Yates, ranked 18th, added another escape early in the second and accumulated 2:08 in riding-time advantage. Zeerip battled to a 3-2 decision over eighth-ranked Lee Munster at 174 pounds, using an early first-period single leg to earn the bout's deciding points. The wrestlers traded escapes in the second and third, but neither could finish on late shot attempts. Zeerip improved to 15-1 on the season.

Huntley converted on an early single leg and after Schoen scored a quick reversal on an ensuing restart, the Wolverine rookie escaped off the next restart. Huntley rode out the second and escaped again quickly in the third to finish with 1:47 in time advantage. Junior/sophomore heavyweight Ben Apland (Woodridge, Ill./Downers Grove South HS) capped the Wolverines' victory with a 6-4 decision against 19th-ranked Mike McMullan in the final bout. Apland finished on takedowns in the second and third periods and missed on three additional single-leg opportunities when he struggled to keep the Wildcat on the mat. He scrambled out of a McMullan shot at the buzzer to claim his sixth straight win. The Wolverines won three of the opening five bouts, earning three consecutive major decisions at the lowerweights to neutralize Northwestern's pin at 125 pounds. Senior Zac Stevens (Monroe, Mich./Monroe HS) struck quickly in the 133-pound match, immediately taking down Jameson Oster to his back for a quick four points. Stevens, ranked 17th, added two more takedowns, a second-period reversal and a two-point leg turk to secure a 13-2 win. Fifth-year senior Kellen Russell (High Bridge, N.J./Blair Academy) converted on four takedowns en route to a 14-2 major decision against Colin Shober at 141 pounds. The Wolverine captain, ranked second, used a variety of attacks, capping the bout with a third-period high crotch before adding a late three-point turn at the buzzer to claim his seventh consecutive bonus win. Russell is 17-1 on the season. After missing the Wolverines' last two events, junior/sophomore Eric Grajales (Brandon, Fla./Brandon HS) was victorious in his return to the lineup, claiming a 13-5 major decision against Pat Greco at 149 pounds. Grajales gave up the first takedown out of an early flurry before taking control with an escape, two takedowns and a three-point near fall to close out the opening frame. The Wolverine wrestler, ranked fourth, converted on two more takedowns in the third and accumulated 4:42 in time advantage to earn the bonus point.

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. -- The Harvard University wrestling team welcomed the return of senior co-captain Corey Jantzen to its lineup as it opened the dual meet portion of its schedule Friday against Rider and Rutgers. The Crimson defeated Rider 22-15 in its first dual of the day before falling to No. 24 Rutgers, 33-12. Jantzen, a two-time NCAA Qualifier, won both of his bouts at 149 lbs. after missing the last two semester's worth of competition due to injury. He cruised to a 10-0 major decision against Rider's Connor Brennan in his first match, scoring two takedowns in the first period and adding takedowns in the second and third periods, respectively. In the biggest upset of the day, Jantzen then took out previously unbeaten No. 3 Mario Mason of Rutgers by a score of 7-6 in tiebreakers. After a scoreless first period, Mason jumped out to a 4-0 lead with a reversal and two back points in the second, but an escape and takedown by Jantzen moved the score to 4-3 heading into the third. Jantzen evened the score at four with a third-period escape, sending the match into overtime. Neither grappler could score in the sudden victory period, and Jantzen was able to ride out Mason in the first portion of the tiebreaker. Jantzen then scored an escape in the second portion of the tiebreaker, and sealed the victory with a takedown before time expired. No. 5 Walter Peppelman and No. 13 Steven Keith also went 2-0 on the day.

The Illini move to 8-1 overall and 1-1 in conference duals. "We had a couple really good wins tonight and a solid team showing," head coach Jim Heffernan said. "B.J.

The dual started at 141 with Daryl Thomas earning his ninth bout this season as he defeated Purdue's Brandon Nelsen in a 13-11 decision to put the Illini up an early 3-0. Thomas now owns a 1-1 record against Nelsen as the two met last week at the Midlands Championship with Nelsen coming out with the victory. 14th-ranked Eric Terrazas defeated his first ranked opponent this season with his 10-4 decision over Purdue's Ivan Lopouchanski. The win marked his 15th victory this year and his ninth in the past eleven matches to increase the team score to 6-0.

At 184, after tying his bout at 2-2 after the second period, redshirt-sophomore Tony Dallago dropped his bout against No. 19 Braden Atwood by a 4-2 decision to bring the team score to 12-6 in favor of the Illini. Illinois then got a quick pin from sophomore Mario Gonzalez as he needed only 1:55 to move past Justin Dinius to score his fourth fall of the season and increase the Orange and Blue's score to 18-6 with three bouts remaining in the match. Pat Walker was ousted by Roger Vukobratovich as the two were tied 1-1 after the third period to force overtime. After a scoreless first overtime, the two traded escapes in the tie-breaker to make it 2-2, however Walker dropped the bout in a takedown by Vukobratovich, bringing the Illini's score to 18-9. Jesse Delgado (125) and B.J. Futrell (133) scored consecutive decisions to close the meet for the Illini. The fifth-ranked freshman recorded his 19th victory of the season after defeating Camden Epert in a 8-3 decision while fifth-ranked junior moved past sixth-ranked Cashe Quiroga to earn a 13-6 decision to seal the victory for the Illini with a final score of 24-9. "Tomorrow presents another challenge," Heffernan said. "We will have a few new guys in the line up that will have the chance to compete at home." The Fighting Illini return home tomorrow as they host Lock Haven at Huff Hall beginning at 1 pm CT before heading to Ann Arbor on Sunday to compete against No. 8 Michigan.

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. -- Sixth-ranked Christian Boley pinned West Virginia's Nicholas Hylton with five seconds remaining in the second period to clinch the Terps' ninth victory of the season as the Maryland wrestling team remained undefeated with a 22-15 victory over West Virginia Friday night. Boley's pin came after Hylton gained a 1-0 advantage with an escape to start the second period and after defending several Boley takedown attempts the match appeared to be headed to the third period. But with five seconds remaining, the Brockport, N.Y., native powered Hylton to the mat for the one count. Geoffrey Alexander picked up an important three points for the Terps at 133 after the Mountaineers' Shane Young earned a 10-3 decision over 20th-ranked Shane Gentry to open the meet. Alexander scored two early takedowns against Nathan Pennesi, the 17th-ranked wrestler at 141, and won a 6-2 decision. “West Virginia wrestled hard and did a good job,” said head coach Kerry McCoy. “We knew it was going to be a battle, but our guys rose to the challenge. We knew we had to win at least two of the first three to have a chance, so to get three [points] put us in a great position.” After the Terps and Mountaineers traded matches at 141 and 149, No. 12 Kyle John earned valuable bonus points with a 14-6 major decision over Dominic Prezzia. John secured the four team points with a late third period takedown. At 165, second-ranked Josh Asper remained unbeaten and improved his record to 17-0 with a 4-0 decision over Kyle Eason before 15th-ranked Jimmy Sheptock earned a decision over Lance Bryson. “Kyle [John] put us in the driver seat with his major decision win,” said McCoy. Josh [Asper] and Jimmy [Sheptock]'s wins were crucial. It was a great win and a great way to start the second semester.” The Terps travel to Blacksburg Sunday at 1 p.m. to face 15th-ranked Virginia Tech. Results: 125: Shane Young (WVU) dec.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- In its first dual meet of the 2011-12 season, the Air Force wrestling team picked up a 19-18 victory over Coe College Friday evening at Eby Fieldhouse. The Falcons won six of 10 bouts on the evening against the Kohawks, who are currently ranked fifth in Division III. Jimmy Gotto, one of seven nationally ranked wrestlers for Coe, got out to a strong start, earning a technical fall at 125 pounds to give the Kohawks a 5-0 lead. Air Force responded by winning the next four matches, beginning with a 7-3 decision by freshman Dylan Hyder (Yelm, Wash.) at 133 pounds. Carter McElhany (Fr., Colorado Springs, Colo.) added a 7-1 decision over 10th-ranked Chris LeClere at 141 pounds to give Air Force its first lead of the dual, while Cole VonOhlen (Jr., Jackson, Minn.), ranked fifth in the nation at 149 pounds, posted an 8-5 decision over James Locke, ranked fourth in Division III. Sophomore Josh Kreimier (Fort Collins, Colo.) closed out the first half of the dual by edging out ninth-ranked Dale Handley in a 4-3 decision, as Air Force took a 12-5 lead. However, Coe got back on the scoreboard with a major decision from top-ranked Nick LeClere at 165 pounds, while a fall by sixth-ranked Scott King in the 174-pound bout gave the Kohawks a 15-12 advantage in the team scoring. The Falcons were able to tie the score with a 9-3 decision by sophomore Greg Isley (Toledo, Ohio) at 184 pounds. Meanwhile, junior Josh Mohr (Pewaukee, Wis.) put Air Force back on top with a 13-5 major decision in the 197-pound bout. In the final match of the evening, the Falcons' Brook Gosch (So., Orwigsburg, Pa.) wrestled up a weight class to face fifth-ranked Alex Burkle. While Burkle was able to take the 6-3 decision, it was not enough for Coe to overtake Air Force in the team scoring, as the Falcons held on for the one-point win. The Falcons are back in action on Sunday, Jan. 8, when they visit WWC foe Northern Iowa in a 2:00 p.m. (CT) contest.

Lincoln, Neb. -- Behind a trio of bonus-point victories, the No. 12 Nebraska wrestling team upset the No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes, 18-16, on Friday night in its Big Ten opener. The Huskers won their school-record 10th straight dual to open the season, while giving the Buckeyes their first loss on the year to drop their record to 7-1. Wrestling in front of 1,451 fans at the NU Coliseum, NU beat its first top 10 opponent since defeating No. 6 Missouri on Jan. 21, 2009. Nebraska got three key bonus-point wins on the night, including one from true freshman Jake Sueflohn (141), who upset No. 6 Hunter Stieber (OSU) by major decision, 10-2. After an early takedown by Stieber, No. 7 Sueflohn responded with 10 unanswered points, including a 3-point nearfall with 58 seconds left to put the Buckeye away. Sueflohn has now defeated five ranked opponents this season and owns an overall record of 16-3. Senior Tucker Lane (Hwt) got the Huskers started with his dominating win over No. 17 Peter Capone to open the match. Lane gained a 3-1 advantage going into the third period and was able to keep Capone in the bottom position for final two minutes of action. Following victories at 133 and 149 pounds for Ohio State, true freshman James Green (131) defeated Josh Demas (OSU) by decision, 7-4, to tie the team score at 10-10. No. 10 Green used two first period takedowns to pull away from Demas and collect his team-leading 20th victory. The Willingboro, N.J. native, has won eight consecutive matches for NU. At 165 pounds, No. 3 Robert Kokesh gave the Huskers their biggest lead of the night with his 9-1 major decision victory over Derek Garcia (OSU). Kokesh now owns an 18-2 overall record, and added to his bonus-point victory total which is now at 14. No. 5 Nick Heflin (OSU) brought the Buckeyes back within one after defeating Tyler Koehn at 174 pounds. Koehn was able to get in on Heflin's legs on several early shot attempts, but couldn't convert. Heflin sealed the match with a takedown with 22 seconds remaining in the third period. Following the loss, junior Josh Ihnen (184) put the match out of reach for OSU at 18-13 with his major decision victory over Craig Thomas (OSU). Ihnen was dominant during every period of the match en route to his 12-0 victory. The 7th-ranked wrestler now owns a 14-2 mark and has shutout three opponents this season. In the last match of the dual, OSU's Andrew Campolattano defeated NU's James Nakashima (197) by decision, 5-3, but it wasn't enough as the Huskers held on for the 18-16 win. The Huskers will now turn their attention to their next Big Ten dual, which is next Friday, Jan. 13, against No. 1 Iowa at the NU Coliseum at 7 p.m. Nebraska's dual against the Hawkeyes will be aired on the Big Ten Network on tape delay, with the broadcast starting at 9 p.m. after the dual. Results: Hwt- #9 Tucker Lane by dec. over #17 Peter Capone (OSU), 4-1 (NU 3, OSU 0) 125- #15 Johnni Dijulius (OSU) by major dec. over Shawn Nagel (NU), 11-3 (NU 3, OSU 4) 133- #2 Logan Stieber (OSU) by dec. over #19 Ridge Kiley (NU), 8-2 (NU 3, OSU 7) 141- #7 Jake Sueflohn (NU) by major dec. over #6 Hunter Stieber (OSU), 10-2 (NU 7, OSU 7) 149- #16 Cam Tessari (OSU) by sudden-victory dec. over Brandon Wilbourn (NU), 3-1 (NU 7, OSU 10) 157- #10 James Green by dec. over Josh Demas (OSU), 7-4 (NU 10, OSU 10) 165- #3 Robert Kokesh (NU) by major dec. over Derek Garcia (OSU), 9-1 (NU 14, OSU 10) 174- #5 Nick Heflin (OSU) wins by dec. over Tyler Koehn (NU), 6-2 (NU 14, OSU 13) 184- #7 Josh Ihnen (NU) by major dec. over Craig Thomas (OSU), 12-0 (NU 18, OSU 13) 197- Andrew Campolattano (OSU) by dec. over James Nakashima (NU), 5-3 (NU 18, OSU 16)

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The University of Iowa wrestling team defeated Indiana 26-12 tonight inside University Gym to extend its streak of unbeaten duals to 84, tying the Oklahoma State record set from 1959-66. The top-ranked Hawkeyes won seven-of-10 bouts to improve to 2-0 in conference duals, 7-0 overall. The Hawkeyes stormed to a 13-0 team lead behind a pair of bonus-point victories from junior Matt McDonough (125) and sophomore Tony Ramos (133). McDonough opened the dual with a 13-1 major decision, his fourth major of the season, and Ramos notched his fourth pin of the year with a second period fall to give Iowa a 10-0 team lead. Sophomore Nick Trizzino then extended the Hawkeye lead to 13-0 with a 5-1 decision in the 141-pound match. Trizzino, a sophomore from Bettendorf, Iowa, was making his first dual appearance of the season. Indiana got on the board when Taylor Walsh narrowly edged Iowa's Michael Kelly at 149 pounds, 4-3. Iowa then bounced back and extended its team lead with back-to-back victories from redshirt freshmen Nick Moore (157) and Mike Evans (165). Moore scored a 9-4 win in his first career Hawkeye dual and Evans recorded his third major decision of the season, 10-0, to give Iowa a 20-3 advantage in the team score. Evans' victory marked the ninth time this season he has either pinned or shutout his opponent. Indiana's Ryan LeBlanc pulled the Hoosiers within 13 points, 20-7, with a 15-5 major decision over Iowa redshirt freshman Walt Gillmor in the 174-pound match. Gillmor, a Donahue, Iowa, native, was making his first career dual appearance and just his fifth career appearance at 174 pounds. The Hawkeyes eventually closed the match with two wins in the final three bouts. Redshirt freshman Jeremy Fahler extended Iowa's team lead to 23-7 with a 3-1 decision at 184 pounds and, after Indiana's fourth-ranked Matt Powless topped sophomore Tomas Lira 22-7, senior Blake Rasing closed the dual with a 6-4 win in the heavyweight bout. Rasing, a 2011 Big Ten champion, was making his first dual appearance of the season. Iowa's win sets up a potential record breaking dual Saturday night when Oklahoma State visits Iowa City. A win or tie over the Cowboys would run Iowa's streak of unbeaten duals to 85, breaking OSU's previous mark. A win against Oklahoma State would also be the 900th dual victory in Iowa wrestling history. Only three other NCAA programs – Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Oregon State – have at least 900 dual victories in their respective wrestling histories. Iowa and Oklahoma State will square off beginning at 7 p.m. on Mediacom Mat inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Call the UI Ticket Office at 800-IA-HAWKS to purchase tickets to the dual. Fans are encouraged to wear black for the BLACKOUT event. Fans wearing black will receive $2 off tickets purchased at the door. Notes: Iowa wrestled with five redshirt freshmen in the lineup… the five redshirt freshmen – Kelly, Moore, Evans, Gillmor, Fahler -- combined for a 3-2 mark… Iowa is undefeated in its last 37 conference duals… the Hawkeyes have won 20 straight Big Ten road duals.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Penn State, Iowa, Oklahoma State, and Minnesota, the only four programs to win NCAA championships over the past 23 seasons, will be in the hunt for a team title at the 2012 NCAA Division I Championships in St. Louis. Cornell, last year's NCAA runner-up, has four wrestlers ranked in the top 10, including two No. 1-ranked wrestlers, and could be in the hunt for a trophy, but at this point appears to lack the firepower up and down its lineup to be considered a major threat to win the NCAA title this season. Let's examine each of the four NCAA title contenders and why each will or will not be hoisting the championship trophy on March 17 in St. Louis. Penn State David Taylor, Frank Molinaro, and Quentin Wright all reached the NCAA finals last season (Photo/Bill Ennis)Why Penn State will win the NCAA title: The defending NCAA champion Nittany Lions have the most firepower of all the NCAA title contending teams, and as close to a sure-fire NCAA champion in David Taylor as there is in the country. Frank Molinaro (149), Taylor (165), Ed Ruth (174), and Quentin Wright (184) are all potential NCAA champions this season, and all have the ability to score lot of bonus points too. Molinaro, Taylor, Ruth, and Wright combined for 79 points last year at the NCAAs, and there is no reason to believe those four will not match or exceed that total this year. Then add in the points from potential All-Americans Nico Megaludus (125), Dylan Alton (157), Morgan McIntosh (197), and Cameron Wade (285), and it will be very difficult for any team to unseat Penn State. Why Penn State will not win the NCAA title: Last year Penn State may have benefited from the NCAA tournament being in Philadelphia, a four-hour drive from State College, Pa. With the NCAAs being in St. Louis this year, it takes away any sort of home-mat advantage for Penn State. Wright, Penn State's lone NCAA champion, had a magical Big Ten and NCAA tournament run last season, winning the NCAA title as the No. 9 seed, but consistency is still a concern. This season Wright was dominated by Minnesota's Kevin Steinhaus, who is currently ranked eighth, and has also taken a loss to NCAA runner-up Robert Hamlin of Lehigh. If the Quentin Wright who took three straight losses last February and a 6-1 loss to Steinhaus in November, shows up in St. Louis, don't expect him to repeat his 23-point effort from last year's NCAAs. In addition, Penn State has two true freshmen, Megaludis and McIntosh, in its lineup. Both are talented and at this point appear capable of being key contributors in St. Louis. But there is still a lot of season left and it remains to be seen how Megaludis and McIntosh will hold up from the grind of the Big Ten season. Iowa Iowa's Matt McDonough is poised to make his third straight NCAA finals appearance and win his second NCAA title (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)Why Iowa will win the NCAA title: The Hawkeyes have a strong track record of peaking when it matters most and exceeding expectations. Iowa could push three or four wrestlers into the finals, and have seven or eight All-Americans. However, that is if virtually everything falls into place for the Hawkeyes. Matt McDonough, despite being ranked second at 125 pounds, has about as good a shot as anyone not named David Taylor, Jordan Oliver, or Kyle Dake to win an NCAA title this season. He has dominated top-ranked Zach Sanders of Minnesota over the past two and half seasons, going 4-0 with each of the last three victories coming by seven or more points. McDonough has two NCAA finals appearances in two attempts. Last year he scored the second most points at the NCAAs of all non-NCAA champions. (Boise State's Andrew Hochstrasser scored a half-point more.) Montell Marion reached the NCAA finals two seasons ago, and was a controversial, overtime (tiebreaker) loss away from making another trip to the NCAA finals last season. Marion spent most of the first half of this season ranked No. 1 before losing in the finals of the Midlands Championships. He has the tools to be an NCAA champion, but just needs to put it together. Iowa also has a potential NCAA finalist in Derek St. John at 157 pounds, and some very talented freshmen in Michael Kelly (149), Mike Evans (165), and Bobby Telford (285). Why Iowa will not win the NCAA title: Iowa does not have the firepower that Penn State does. Outside of McDonough, the Hawkeyes do not have a sure-fire NCAA finalist. Tony Ramos (133) has been wrestling well this season and looks primed to earn All-American honors, but it will be a tall order for him to reach the NCAA finals with Jordan Oliver of Oklahoma State and Logan Stieber of Ohio State residing in his weight class. Marion, like Ramos, will have his work cut out for him to reach the NCAA finals being in a weight class (141) that includes NCAA champion Kellen Russell of Michigan, NCAA finalist Boris Novachkov of Cal Poly, and top-ranked Kendric Maple of Oklahoma, who is undefeated and already owns a win over Marion. Marion is also dealing with off-the-mat issues after being arrested by University of Iowa police for driving while barred. Marion's future with the team remains in question. If the Hawkeyes lose Marion, it would take them out of the NCAA title hunt. Going into this season it appeared that Grant Gambrall could be a potential NCAA finalist at 184 pounds after finishing third at the NCAAs last season. But Gambrall recently made the move up to 197 pounds, and after his seventh-place finish at the Midlands Championships, it does not appear that Iowa can count on Gambrall to match or exceed his NCAA finish last year. There are question marks surrounding St. John's health. He missed the Midlands Championships and has not competed since Dec. 8. Kelly, Evans, and Telford have shown a lot of promise, but they are still freshmen who have yet to compete at the NCAA tournament. Oklahoma State Jordan Oliver dominated his competition at the Reno Tournament of Champions and was named Outstanding Wrestler (Photo/John Sachs, Tech-Fall.com)Why Oklahoma State will win the NCAA title: The Cowboys have four wrestlers ranked in the top four, including a defending NCAA champion in Jordan Oliver, and five other wrestlers who could be in the hunt for All-American honors. That could translate into a lot of points for the Cowboys in St. Louis. Oliver scored 26 points at the NCAAs last season, which was second only to Jordan Burroughs' 26.5. He has been crushing opponents all season long. Sophomore Chris Perry has been on a roll this season for the Cowboys. The undefeated Perry, who won the Reno Tournament of Champions, recently moved down from 184 pounds to 174 pounds. Jamal Parks (149) and Alan Gelogaev (285) are also undefeated and potential NCAA finalists for the Cowboys. (Gelogaev took an unofficial loss to Chad Hanke of Oregon State.) Both are ranked No. 2 in their respective weight classes. Cayle Byers (197) climbed to as high as No. 2 in the country earlier this season before some recent setbacks caused him to slide in the rankings. He had a win last season over NCAA champion Dustin Kilgore of Kent State. Jon Morrison (125), Josh Kindig (141), Albert White (157), and Dallas Bailey (165) are solid wrestlers capable of making noise at the NCAA tournament. Why Oklahoma State will not win the NCAA title: Oklahoma State has underperformed in each of the past three NCAA tournaments. Last year the Cowboys were expected to be in the hunt for the NCAA title and finished fourth with three All-Americans. Two of their seeded wrestlers failed to win a match. Outside of Oliver, there are a lot of question marks up and down Oklahoma State's lineup. Morrison and Byers have lost to wrestlers on their own team and may not even be in the lineup in March. It remains to be seen how Perry will perform down a weight class. Parks has a history of wrestling close, low-scoring matches, which could bite him at the NCAA tournament. Minnesota Zach Sanders is undefeated and ranked No. 1 at 125 pounds (Photo/Jeff Beshey, The Guillotine)Why Minnesota will win the NCAA title: Minnesota has the most balanced team of the contenders. This year's Gopher team is reminiscent of the 2001 Gopher team that won the NCAA championship with 10 All-Americans and no NCAA finalists. The Gophers currently have nine ranked wrestlers, including four returning All-Americans. Zach Sanders, a three-time All-American, is undefeated and ranked No. 1 at 125 pounds. Minnesota has a strong mix of senior leadership with All-Americans Sanders and Sonny Yohn, and young talent. Minnesota's lineup includes seven freshmen or sophomores. All seven were InterMat Top 100 recruits coming out of high school. Those wrestlers include David Thorn (133), Nick Dardandes (141), Dylan Ness (149), Alec Ortiz (157), Logan Storley (174), Kevin Steinhaus (184), and Tony Nelson (285). Steinhaus and Nelson were All-Americans last season as freshmen. Why Minnesota will not win the NCAA title: The Gophers do not have the horses that can be counted on to finish in the top three and score extra bonus points. Sanders is Minnesota's best hope for an NCAA finalist, but his path to a title will likely have to go through a wrestler (McDonough) that he has never beaten in college. Returning All-Americans Steinhaus, Yohn, and Nelson have all suffered losses to lower ranked wrestlers this season. The Gophers' freshmen may be talented, but they are still very much unproven at the Division I level. Minnesota recently suffered a major blow with the loss of Jake Deitchler at 157 pounds. Deitchler, a 2008 Olympian in Greco-Roman, announced his retirement from wrestling this week because of a long history with concussions.

Top-ranked heavyweight Ryan Flores recorded a pin in his hometown and No. 14 Daniel Mitchell also registered a fall at 197 lbs. as the No. 10 American University wrestling team defeated Cal State Bakersfield, 26-16, Thursday evening at Clovis North High School in Clovis, Calif. A Clovis, Calif., native, Flores improves to a perfect 6-0 on the season, which includes pins in five of his victories. The reigning national runner-up has now won 17 of his last 18 bouts dating back to last season. Mitchell, meanwhile, improves to 10-5 on the campaign with victories in four of his last five matches. The dual began well for American as Kevin Tao opened with a 17-0 technical fall against Erik Martinez at 149 lbs. No. 4 Ganbayar Sanjaa followed with a 9-5 decision against Anthony Box at 157 lbs. to push AU's lead to 8-0. Cal State Bakersfield responded with victories in the next three bouts at 165 lbs., 174 lbs., and 184 lbs. to take an 11-8 advantage. AU, however, fired back with back-to-back pins, beginning with Mitchell's fall against AC Brown at 1:18 and then Flores' pin of Steven Wood at 2:54. Thomas Williams continued AU's win streak with a 2-0 decision over Miguel Comparan at 125 lbs. to extend AU's lead to 23-11. After a setback at 133 lbs., No. 14 Matt Mariacher closed the dual for the Eagles with a 7-4 decision against Dalton Kelley. American will continue its California swing when it visits No. 19 Cal Poly on Friday, January 6, beginning at 10 p.m. EST. Results: Exhibition HWT – Blake Herrin (American) maj. dec.

FAIRFAX, Va. -- In the first-ever meeting between the two teams, Appalachian State wrestling won all ten bouts to complete the sweep of George Mason, 42-0, on Thursday evening at the GMU Recreation and Athletic Complex.
