Absolutely. Van Ness just got majored. As far as I can tell these guys have only faced off once and it was two years ago. Since then, SVN had a major injury, and Parco transferred to a better program. I'd put a sig or avatar bet on it.
125: Lilledahl dec Cruz 3-0
133: Ayala dec Davis 3-3
141: Bartlett dec Block 6-3
149: Parco dec Van Nes 6-6
157: Kasak dec Teemer 9-6
165: Mesenbrink dec Caliendo 12-6
174: Haines dec Kennedy 15-6
184: Starocci dec Arnold 18-6
197: Barr dec Buchanan 21-6
285: Kerkvliet dec Kueter 24-6 (Penn State)
I predict it will be ten matches decided by decision, but that the overall dual score will not be close.
Usually when you have these extremely muscular guys, they may sacrifice a little bit of quickness in favor of their bulk. Does not appear the case with Caliendo. Cat-like
I said he's been having an excellent year - in the sense that he's a hell of a lot better than he was last year. Clearly improved wrestler IMO. He has two wins over ranked wrestlers now as well as a win over Diversent who is tough. Last year he had nothing that would compare. His wrestlestat ranking has gone from 84 down to 47 and it hasn't counted today's victory
Kerk wins 2-0 and the dual is over. Peterson over Lilledahl is the only win for Rutgers. I bet that's the first (and last) time that Lilledahl is the only member of his dual team to lose his individual match.
Nebraska transfer Ethan Stiles, who had a hot start at 157, is down to 149, and giving Jordan Williams all he can handle. 6-1 decision by Stiles in a match that was fun in the scrambles, but not particularly close.
