And did it in a big way.
Mango used huge second periods in both matches to sweep Sam Hazewinkel in two straight matches in the finals of the U.S. Greco-Roman World Team Trials on Friday night at the Ocean Center.
Both matches were scoreless after the first period before Mango prevailed 13-2 and 8-0 over Hazewinkel, a 2012 Olympian in freestyle who was second at the U.S. World Team Trials in freestyle two weeks ago.
"Me and Sam have wrestled so many times," Mango said. "He has a good arm throw, and he's kind of sneaky with it and it's almost impossible to stop. I was ready for him. The more competition we have at this weight the better we will be internationally."
