Nahshon Garrett defeated Kory Mines (Photo/Juan Garcia)AJ Schopp and Mitchell Port put Edinboro in position to win the dual with dominant wins at 133 and 141. Schopp scored 12 points on turns in the second period after it looked as though Bricker Dixon was the aggressor on their feet in the first. Schopp continued to rack up points to earn five points. Port then pinned Ryan Dunphy a minute into the second period to totally steal momentum and gave the Fighting Scots an 11-3 lead in the dual.
In the feature match of the morning, No. 3 Dave Habat was able to use a locking hands call against No. 6 Chris Villalonga and a late reversal to rally for a 5-3 victory. Cornell got itself back into the match thanks to a late Craig Eifert takedown that gave him a 6-4 victory over Kasey Davis and was squarely back in it after Dylan Palacio dominated in his first match back in 2014, using takedown after takedown to get into the winner's circle with a 13-4 triumph over Casey Fuller.
Duke Pickett tied the dual at 14-14 with a major decision victory at 174 pounds, taking a 13-2 win over Zach Towers to lead him into a big matchup for Gabe Dean against Vic Avery at 184. Dean, who dropped two matches at the Las Vegas Invitational and had been defeated twice in his career by Avery, got back to his winning ways with a takedown in sudden victory for the 6-4 decision. Dean extended Cornell's match win streak to four and gave the Big Red its first lead in the dual since 125.
Cornell ended the dual with six consecutive victories, with Jace Bennett shutting out Vince Pickett, 5-0, at 197 and Jacob Aiken-Phillips holding on for a 9-8 victory over Warren Bosch at heavyweight.
The second dual had none of the drama of the first, as the Big Red won its first nine bouts en route to a 35-4 victory over perennial power Northern Iowa. The highlight was a top 10 matchup for Nahshon Garrett, who controlled the match throughout on his way to a 6-2 victory over No. 6 Dylan Peters. Gabe Dean continued to get back on track with a second period fall over Cody Caldwell, and Nick Arujau earned a tech fall at 141 over Jake Hodges, running the score up to 15-0 in the second period. The Big Red had clinched the dual after Duke Pickett's 4-1 win over Curt Maas, handing Koll his 250th victory.
