    The most exciting series of the night occurred at 70 kg with Austin O'Connor (Sunkist Kids WC) and 2015 Cadet World Team member Brady Berge (Nittany Lion WC). Berge and O'Connor met at this year's Marine Corps U.S. Open in Las Vegas, Nev., where O'Connor took the victory on criteria, 2-2. Berge went into today's series ready for revenge.

    The first bout of the series went back and forth and ended with Berge coming out on top, 7-4, claiming his revenge on O'Connor. However, O'Connor did not let Berge by in the second bout. O'Connor came in with an early second-period tech, not allowing Berge to score any points.

    The third bout of the series started with O'Connor scoring the first points of the match. It wasn't until the second period that Berge claimed a quick takedown and exposure to take the lead. He scored again to secure his 6-2 victory and the 70 kg Junior World Team spot. This is his first Junior World Team.
