NORFOLK, Va. -- The Old Dominion wrestling team (7-9, 4-2 MAC) won seven out of 10 bouts, including five straight to open the match, and cruised to a 25-11 victory over Drexel (6-9, 2-5 EIWA) on Monday night at Chartway Arena. "We're trying to get everyone to compete up to their level," head coach Steve Martin said after the victory. "I think our wrestlers that won competed up to their level tonight." The Monarchs took an 18-0 lead into the halftime intermission after winning the first five bouts of the dual, two of which resulted in bonus points for the team. No. 14 Killian Cardinale kicked off the ODU victory with a 7-3 win by decision over Antonio Mininno. Cardinale earned five of his seven points in the second period alone, earning an escape point and two takedowns in the two-minute frame. The redshirt sophomore then rode Mininno the entire third period to gain the riding time advantage and the victory, his fifth in a row. At 133 pounds, freshman Shannon Hanna II and Chase Shields were deadlocked at one point apiece for the majority of the final frame. It looked like the bout was heading towards overtime, but with three ticks on the clock left, Hanna took down Shields to walk away with a 3-1 victory, giving the Monarchs a 6-0 advantage. No. 18 Sa'Derian Perry earned his first technical fall victory of the year with an impressive 16-0 win over Julian Flores in just three minutes and 39 seconds of action. Perry earned a takedown 54 seconds into the battle, and proceeded to ride Flores the entire first period, earning a four-point near-fall on three separate occasions in the frame. The 14-0 advantage going into the second frame period meant that all Perry needed to do was earn a takedown to win the match, and he did 36 seconds into the period to add five more points to the ODU lead. Kenan Carter earned an 11-2 win by major decision to give the Monarchs their second-straight win that resulted in bonus points. Carter earned seven points in the third frame of his bout against Drexel's Vincent Foggia to reach the major-decision plateau. He kicked off the period with a quick escape point, followed by two takedowns. He earned two more points on a stalling call against Foggia and the riding time advantage. In the 157-pound bout, No. 10 Larry Early capped off the first half with a tight 3-2 win by decision over Parker Kropman. It was Early's 12th win in a 13-match span. The All-American earned a takedown in the first period, but Kropman earned two escape points that led to the two combatants entering the third frame tied at two. Early started the period on the bottom and earned an escape point with one minute and 46 seconds remaining on the clock, giving him a 3-2 advantage. The two wrestlers were locked into that score until the final horn, but with less than 10 seconds remaining in the bout, Drexel challenged that Kropman earned a takedown of the Monarch wrestler, which would have given the 157-pound Dragon a 4-3 lead and a restart at the time of the would-be takedown. The call on the mat stood, as did Early's 3-2 win, giving ODU its 18-0 halftime advantage. After the intermission, the Dragons put some points on the scoreboard in the 165-pound bout, where No. 18 Ebed Jarrell earned an 8-0 major decision victory over Shane Jones. Alex Cramer also suffered a major decision loss at the hands of No. 31 Michael O'Malley, 10-2. The two Drexel victories cut the ODU lead to 10 points with three bouts to go. Senior Antonio Agee stopped the Monarchs' momentary slide with bonus points of his own, earning a 10-0 major decision win over Owen Brooks in the 184-pound bout to clinch the match victory for ODU. Agee earned three takedowns, two stalling points, an escape point and a point for five minutes and 15 seconds worth of riding time in his dominating performance. After a Bryan McLaughlin 10-6 victory over Timothy Young at 197 pounds, freshman Jacob Bullock earned the first victory in front of the ODU faithful at Chartway Arena of his career, taking down Sean O'Malley in a 3-1 decision. Much like his classmate Hanna's win earlier in the contest, Bullock earned a late takedown to propel him to victory, taking down O'Malley with just four seconds left in the final frame. "We have to rebound very quickly after this win," Martin explained. "We wrestle again in four days on Friday night against Navy and on Sunday against George Mason, so it's going to be a quick turnaround." Up Next The Monarchs head north this upcoming weekend to take on another Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) opponent in Navy on Friday, February 14 at 7:30 p.m. in Annapolis, Maryland. ODU will then travel to Fairfax, Virginia to take on Mid-American Conference (MAC) foe George Mason two days later on Sunday, February 16.

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. -- Using eight individual victories – including a Top-10 win from No. 19 Jordan Pagano (197) and another ranked triumph from JoJo Aragona (141) – No. 25 Rutgers wrestling (9-6, 3-5) defeated Rider (10-3, 6-1), 25-6, on Sunday night at Alumni Gym. The win secured the 14th consecutive winning dual season for the Scarlet Knights and 13th since head coach Scott Goodale took over the program in 2007. RU jumped out to a fast start, as it claimed the first four bouts of the evening from 125 through 149 pounds. Rutgers added four more wins out of intermission, highlighted by Pagano's upset 4-2 decision over No. 7 Ethan Laird in sudden victory. The Scarlet Knights won all three of their overtime matches on Sunday, including a sudden-victory decision from Gerard Angelo (149) and a thrilling 3-2 decision from Aragona over No. 25 Pete Lipari in tie breaker No. 4. No. 10 Sammy Alvarez (133) collected his fifth major decision of the season, while Nicolas Aguilar (125), Brett Donner (165), No. 12 Billy Janzer (184) and Alex Esposito (HWT) all worked decisions to help RU to its seventh consecutive win over Rider in the all-time series. "It was great to see our guys finish their matches from top to bottom," Goodale said. "We got an awesome start from 125 pounds and he just didn't stop from there. We train really hard week in and week out and I'm glad we were able to put it all out there tonight to get the victory." HOW IT HAPPENED • There was plenty of back-and-forth action throughout the night, beginning with Aguilar against Jonathan Tropea at 125 pounds. After he conceded two takedowns to Tropea in the first period and trailed 6-4 after the second, Aguilar rallied back in the final two minutes of the match. Aguilar landed a single-leg takedown with 55 seconds left in the final period for a 7-6 lead. After a Tropea escape and a stall call against his opponent, Aguilar caught Tropea with an ankle pic en route to an 11-7 decision. • Alvarez wasted no time in his bout with Chris Wright, using a takedown for an early 2-0 lead after the first. After working another takedown in the second and adding an escape in the third, Alvarez held a 5-0 advantage over Wright with the riding-time point locked up midway through the final period. Needing a takedown to secure the major, Alvarez landed the takedown out of the scramble with just three second to go for the 8-0 final. • Aragona followed against Lipari, who entered the weekend ranked No. 25 by FloWrestling. Both traded escapes in regulation to force sudden victory, as both went scoreless in the first four tiebreaker periods. After Lipari landed an escape in tie breaker No. 3 for a 2-1 lead, Aragona needed to counter in tie breaker No. 4 for a chance to tie or win. Aragona responded with a reversal at the buzzer for the 3-2 final. The decision made it 10-0 Rutgers through the first three bouts. • Angelo also forced overtime against his opponent after he was tied 1-1 with Gino Fluri. Angelo caught Fluri with a single leg with 22 seconds left in sudden victory, sweeping with his left leg for the takedown and a 3-1 decision. • Michael VanBrill (157) wrestled hard against No. 7 Jesse Dellavecchia in the following bout, but suffered 3-1 loss as RU held a 13-3 lead at intermission • Donner followed with a 5-3 decision over Joe Casey, while a tight 5-3 loss from Willie Scott (174) against No. 18 Dean Sherry made it 16-6 in favor of Rutgers. • The Scarlet Knights closed out the dual with three consecutive victories, beginning with Janzer against George Walton. Janzer used takedowns in the first and third periods to produce a 5-3 decision over Walton, which gave Janzer a team-high 43 dual points on the season. • Pagano faced Laird at 197 pounds, with his opponent ranked as high as No. 7 in the country by FloWrestling with a 21-5 record. With the score tied 2-2 after regulation, Pagano caught Laird with a single leg and drove him into the mat with 11 seconds left in sudden victory, then was awarded two points right at the buzzer for his biggest individual win of the season. • Esposito closed out the bout with a 7-4 decision over Ryan Cloud, as Rutgers exited Alumni Gym with a 25-6 road victory.

Jordan Burroughs has earned yet another distinction to add to his already impressive list of achievements as the only current wrestler -- male or female -- to earn a place on Sports Illustrated's Fittest 50 for 2020 revealed this past week. Burroughs shared the good news on his social media Saturday: Here's what SI said about Jordan: "Two-time Olympic wrestling champion Jordan Burroughs has moved on from his disappointing finish in Rio 2016, but he hasn't forgotten. The 31-year-old American is motivated by his last Olympic experience as he prepares for Tokyo 2020, using meditation to train his mind and a variety of weightlifting exercises, yoga, plyometrics and more to sculpt his strapping 5'7" physique. As Burroughs chases more gold medals, he is also considering an MMA career post-wrestling, a nod to his all-around conditioning and explosiveness." On SI's fittest men's list, Burroughs is bracketed by LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers (ranked No. 9) and UFC fighter Jon Jones at No. 7. (Jones wrestled in high school and college, winning a New York state title, and a National Junior College mat championship as a wrestler at Iowa Central Community College.) Who's SI's fittest male athlete? Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. Gymnast Simone Biles was named fittest female athlete of 2020 by Sports Illustrated. Jordan Burroughs has earned highest honors in a number of international men's freestyle wrestling events, including an Olympic gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics, four World championships, six gold medals at World Cup events, and a trio of gold medals at the Pan American Games. Prior to competing on the world stage, Burroughs made a name for himself in folkstyle, having won a New Jersey high school state title before heading west to compete at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he was a three-time Big 12 champ, a three-time NCAA All-American, and twice an NCAA titlewinner, first at 157 pounds in 2009, then at 165 in 2011. That year, Burroughs was presented with the Hodge Trophy as the top collegiate wrestler in the U.S., as well as being named InterMat Wrestler of the Year in 2011.

STANFORD, Calif. -- A pair of falls by Tyler Eischens and Shane Griffith sparked a 25-12 win for No. 14 Stanford over Oregon State, Sunday, at Burnham Pavilion. Eischens needed just 21 seconds to pin Logan Meek at 157 pounds. It was the fastest fall by a Cardinal this season and the sixth for the redshirt freshman. He is now 20-7 overall and 8-3 in duals. Griffith followed up at 165 pounds with his team-leading ninth fall of the year. He led Aaron Olmos 9-1 going into the final period. Olmos chose down and Griffith got the turn and secured the pin with 37 seconds left in the period. Stanford improved to 10-2 overall and 3-1 in the Pac-12, while Oregon State dropped to 5-6, 0-2 in the conference. Griffith, who is ranked fourth nationally, is now 24-0 on the season, tying Nick Amuchastegui (2011-12) for the second-longest winning streak in program history. Redshirt freshman Real Woods, who is No. 3 in the nation at 141 pounds, got the Cardinal on the board with a 9-1 major decision over Grant Willits. He tallied his 12th straight win and improved to 16-1 overall and 7-1 in duals. Redshirt junior Jared Hill held off Jackson McKinney with a 3-2 decision at 174 pounds. There was no score after the opening period. McKinney went down to start the second and quickly earned the escape. Hill scored a takedown in the second and the score was tied 2-2 going into the third. An escape for Hill to start the third was the difference. Ranked No. 8, Nathan Traxler picked up his second win of the weekend with a 5-2 decision over J.J. Dixon at 197 pounds. The redshirt junior is now 18-3 overall and 7-2 in duals this season. Fifth-year senior David Showunmi closed out the dual with a 6-1 decision over Jamarcus Grant at heavyweight. It was the 10th win of the year for Showunmi.

MADISON, Wis. -- Michigan State wrestling pulled off one of the biggest upsets in college wrestling this season, as well as one of the biggest upsets in school history, upsetting No. 4 Wisconsin, 19-17, Sunday afternoon inside Wisconsin Field House. The win is the Spartans' first over the Badgers since 2009, and the highest ranked win since MSU knocked off No. 2 Iowa on Feb. 7, 2003. The Spartans, who came into the dual with a 1-7 record in the B1G, showed fight and resilience throughout the entire dual. MSU claimed two bonus point wins and used a huge win from redshirt junior Nick May at 197 pounds to all but seal the victory. Michigan State got bonus point wins at 141 pounds from redshirt junior Matt Santos, and a fall by redshirt freshman Layne Malczewsk at 174 pounds. Redshirt sophomore Cameron Caffey continued his hot streak with his eighth-straight victory for the Green and White. Coach Chandler on what this win means to the program... It's just validation for all the things that the guys have been working on. They've stayed completely focused on the process. We talk about the process all the time, the process is effort and execution. In dual meet competition like today, every single guy matters. It doesn't matter who won or who lost, it's how you competed. I can say all 10 guys that stepped out on the mat today, they fought for the entire seven minutes. I'm just really happy for these guys, it's validation to all their hard work. It's a process, things don't happen overnight, you have to stay committed to the process and good things will happen. The dual started at 125 pounds with redshirt senior Logan Griffin taking on Eric Barnett. Barnett got things going early in the first period with a takedown and two-point near-fall to take a 4-0 lead after one period. Griffin shot in and claimed a takedown in the second period, but Barnett answered with a reversal to take a 6-2 lead after two. The Badger held strong in the third period, holding off Griffin's shots to win the opening bout of the dual, 6-2, over Griffin. Wisconsin extended its lead to 7-0 after a win by No. 1 Seth Gross at 133 pounds. Gross went right to work over redshirt senior Garrett People, landing a takedown in the opening seconds to jump out to a 2-0 lead. Pepple fought off Gross's offense in the first period to keep the lead at 2-0. Gross was awarded stalling points on two occasions in the second period to take a 4-0 lead heading to the final frame. Gross tallied two takedowns and another two points for stalling on his way to a 13-2 major decision over Pepple. The Spartans got on the board in the 141 pound bout, with redshirt junior Matt Santos scoring his second major decision victory of the season, this time over Dominic Dentino. Santos went right to work on Dentino, coming away with three takedowns in the first frame on his way to a 6-2 lead after one. Santos didn't let up in the second period over Dentino, recording two more takedowns and added two more in the third frame on his way to a 16-5 major decision victory. Redshirt junior Alex Hrisopoulos battled his fifth ranked opponent in his last six matches in No. 12 Cole Martin at 149 pounds. The two wrestlers went to the final frame with Martin holding a slight 2-0 advantage over Hrisopoulos. Martin scored a reversal to open the period and secured the 7-2 decision with a takedown in the final minute to extend the Badger lead to 10-4. The Spartans added three more points after a hard-fought win by redshirt junior Jake Tucker at 157 pounds. Tucker took on Garrett Model and came out with three quick takedowns midway through the first period and Model added three escapes in the first frame to give Tucker a 6-3 lead after one. Tucker started the second period with a four-point near-fall, but model answered with a reversal, making the score 12-5. Model secured his first takedown of the match in the second frame and tallied an escape in the third, but couldn't overcome Tucker's lead, falling by decision, 12-8. At 165 pounds, Redshirt junior Austin Hiles got the start for the second time in three duals and faced No. 4 Evan Wick. Wick led 2-0 after one period, and 6-1 after two. Hiles battled with Wick for most of the dual, but Wick came away with a 10-2 major decision to extend the Badger lead to 14-7. The Spartans scored 12 points in the final four duals on their way to the upset victory. Malczewski gave MSU some much needed momentum at 174 pounds against Jared Krattiger. Malczewski showed off his stellar defense in the early going and pushed Krattiger with a takedown and two mat points to take a quick 4-0 lead. Krattiger answered with a reversal to cut the lead to two, but Malczewski reeled off an other takedown and came away with a much-needed fall at 2:43 to cut the Badger lead to one at 14-13. At 184 pounds, Caffey extended his win streak to eight, with a 6-2 decision over No. 22 Johnny Sebastian. Caffey, who has knocked off four ranked opponents in his last five duals, held a narrow 2-1 lead over Sebastian after one, but added another takedown and escape in the second period to go up 5-2. Caffey rode out the third period to take the 6-3 with after receiving the riding time point. Leading 16-14, May went to battle with Peter Christensen in a must-win dual, with the No. 5 ranked heavyweight looming for the Badgers. May provided instant offense with a quick takedown in the opening minute. Christensen tallied an escape to give May a 2-1 lead after one. May landed two escapes in the second period and Christensen garnered a takedown to knot the match at four with one period remaining. The two wrestlers scrambled in the third period, but May came away on the scoring side as he secured a takedown in the winding seconds on his way to a 6-5 win. With the Spartans up 19-14, Wisconsin would need a pin to win or a technical fall to go to criteria. MSU's Christian Rebottaro would have his hands full with No. 5 Trent Hillger, and it showed early as Hillger took a commanding 6-2 lead with three takedowns in the first period. Rebottaro would try his best to fight from the bottom, but got called for stalling twice. Hillger fought hard to get Rebottaro in a position to go for the pin and win, but Rebottaro fought off Hillger's offense, falling by decision 9-2 and securing the upset bid for the Spartans, 19-17. Up Next The Spartans hit the road for their final two duals of the season with a pair of non-conference match-ups.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The fourth-ranked Nebraska wrestling team won eight of 10 bouts, scoring bonus points in six matches, to win its fourth consecutive dual meet and defeat Indiana 35-6 at Wilkinson Hall on Sunday afternoon. The meet began at 141 pounds. No. 8 Chad Red Jr. wasted no time against Eddie Bolivar, scoring a takedown seconds into the match. Bolivar escaped, but Red then scored a second takedown, earned nearfall points and recorded a pin, all in less than one minute of wrestling. No.16 Collin Purinton (149) then faced No.14 Graham Rooks in the meet's lone match-up of ranked wrestlers. The two grapplers were scoreless after the first period. Purinton started the second period on top and Rooks was able to score a reversal. Purinton used two escapes to knot the score at two apiece, but Rooks was awarded the match-winning point when Purinton earned his second stalling warning of the match and the Hoosier grappler walked away a 3-2 winner. No.18 Peyton Robb (157) scored a takedown and two nearfall points in the first period against Indiana senior Fernie Silva. The second period saw Robb add to his lead with points via escape and a stalling call on Silva. The redshirt freshman from Owatonna, Minn., finished strong for the Huskers, closing out a 9-1 major decision victory with a third-period takedown and a point for riding time. Jake Silverstein saw his first dual meet action of the season at 165 pounds. Squaring off against Hoosier junior Dillon Hoey, Silverstein notched a takedown and four nearfall points in the first period, but Hoey was able to get on the board with a reversal. Hoey scored a takedown and ran his riding time total to over two minutes in Period 2. Silverstein started Period 3 on top and Hoey again registered a reversal, making the score 8-6 in favor of Silverstein. Hoey allowed Silverstein to escape, looking for a takedown which would have effectively tied the bout 9-9, but Silverstein got in on a single-leg shot and scored a takedown to win the back-and-forth match by decision, 11-7 No. 6 Mikey Labriola (174) scored a takedown less than five seconds into his bout with Diego Lemley and needed less than a minute to record the meet's second pin.

Alex Thomsen (125) and Liam Cronin exchanged escapes and were tied 1-1 when Cronin scored the match's first takedown with less than one minute remaining in the third period.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- The Central Michigan wrestling team won seven matches, two of them by pin in rolling to a 27-12 Mid-American Conference dual-meet victory over Kent State on Sunday at McGuirk Arena. The win was CMU's fifth straight and it lifted the Chippewas to 7-4 in duals. They finished 7-2 in league duals and are scheduled to close the regular season on Friday, Feb. 21 (7 p.m.) at home with a nonconference dual with Michigan State. CMU's pins came from Dresden Simon (141 pounds) and Matt Stencel (285). It was the second pin of the weekend and the 14th of the season for Stencel, who is ranked fourth nationally and has won eight consecutive matches and is 25-4. Stencel entered the weekend tied for third nationally with 12 pins. He posted a first-period pin to clinch CMU's win over Buffalo on Friday. Stencel's pin on Sunday came in 39 seconds over sophomore Spencer Berthold, who entered the dual with 10 of his 13 victories having come on pins. Simon, who is ranked 15th, improved to 24-8 with his third pin of the season. It marked the 14th time this season that Simon has won with bonus points. It was his first pin since Nov. 17, a 19-match stretch. The Chippewas also got decision victories from Ben Cushman (184), Landon Pelham (197), Drew Hildebrandt (125), Corbyn Munson (149) and Logan Parks (157). The meet began at 174 pounds and CMU won four of the first five matches in building a 15-3 lead after Hildebrandt's win. "I think that challenged our upper weights," CMU coach Tom Borrelli said of the start at 174. "Our big guys came out with a little bit of a spark and I think it took the dual meet away from them right away." Hildebrandt, who is ranked ninth nationally, ran his win streak to eight matches and improved to 27-3. In addition to Hildebrandt and Stencel, Simon, Parks and Pelham went 2-0 on the weekend, and the Chippewas got solid performances from a pair of redshirt freshman, Munson and Cushman, on Sunday. "They've been up and down a lot this year, but I think they're improving," Borrelli said. "Ben did a real good job of sprawling in his match and that's something we've been working on, and Corbyn did a real good job of just continuing to wrestle. Those are things you're looking for." After Friday's dual with Michigan State, the Chippewas will turn their attention to the most important part of the season, the MAC Championships and then the NCAA Championships. The MAC Championship are scheduled for March 7-8 at Northern Illinois. The NCAA Championships are set for March 19-21 in Minneapolis. "The dual-meet season is tough on us right now because we're developing in five weights … so there's a lot of pressure on us in a dual meet because we don't have a whole lot of margin for error if one of those four or five guys gets beat, someone's got to step up or we'll lose the dual meet," Borrelli said. "Once we get into a tournament format I think our guys are going to be a little more relaxed. We've got some big point-scoring potential, but we've also got some guys who probably can wrestle better without that (dual-meet) pressure on them." Results: 174: Andrew McNally (K) dec.

Cal Poly tightened the team score at 197 as No. 12 Tom Lane got a tech fall to make it 12-8 into the heavyweight bout.

Princeton won the Ivy League title, its first since 1986 (Photo/Beverly Schafer) For the first time since 1986, the Princeton wrestling team is the Ivy League champion. For the first time since 1986, the Tigers beat Cornell. And for the first time since 2002, ending in incredible 92-match Ivy League win streak, an Ivy team has won a dual match against the Big Red, which had won every Ivy League title outright since 2003. Though there was plenty of anticipation entering the day, through the halftime intermission, Princeton's victory was far from assured. Cornell took three of the first four matches contested after beginning at heavyweight, building a 10-4 lead with third-ranked Patrick Glory holding Dominic LaJoie scoreless and getting a major decision at 125 for Princeton's lone win in that span. Matthew Kolodzik, a three-time All-America who returned to competition for Princeton only Saturday, battled Cornell's Hunter Richard to a decision at 149, and Cornell held the lead halfway through at 10-7. That match began a string of five victories that not only turned the match for Princeton, but ended in a crescendo with Travis Stefanik's 10-4 victory at 184 that unleashed a roar unseen in the program in 34 years. First, fourth-ranked Quincy Monday tied it up at 10-10 with a decision at 157. Grant Cuomo turned the tide Princeton's way with an 8-1 decision at 165. Kevin Parker's 10-3 win at 174 sustained the momentum, and put the match in Stefanik's hands with the possibility to clinch or let Cornell back in as Princeton led 16-10 with two matches left. Stefanik delivered, beating Jonathan Loew 10-4 to put Princeton ahead 19-10 with a battle between national top-four wrestlers at 197 still to go. Cornell's fourth-ranked Ben Darmstadt won it over third-ranked Patrick Brucki, but Princeton's historic moment was already complete. The Tigers will look to complete a perfect Ivy season for the first time since that 1986 Ivy title when Penn visits Dillon Gym next Saturday at noon.

The Navy wrestling team (8-4, 3-1 EIWA) secured a 39-6 victory over a short-handed Duke (0-15, 0-3 ACC) squad Sunday afternoon at Northwood High School in Pittsboro, N.C. The Blue Devils forfeited two (125 & 141) of the first three matches, giving way to 12 points. Navy, meanwhile, claimed victory in the first nine matches before an injury at heavyweight gave Duke its lone win. "Today was a great opportunity to see some guys get competition opportunities that have not had many starts for us and they stepped up to the opportunity," said sixth-year Navy head coach Joel Sharratt. "Winning nine out of 10 bouts was a very strong performance by these guys and a good stepping stone towards our future goals. The focus is set on our two remaining duals and putting guys forward to the EIWAs that are hungry and ready to compete the Navy Way for their ticket to the NCAA Championship." The Highlights • The Midshipmen moved to 8-4 in dual competition this season, having earned wins in each of their last four duals. • Navy has wrestled five consecutive duals on the road - Lehigh (L, 23-9), American (W, 24-21), Drexel (W, 23-15), George Mason (W, 23-14) and Duke (W, 39-6). • Navy is now 15-2 all-time against the Blue Devils. • Navy never trailed in the match and won nine straight bouts before bowing out of the heavyweight match due to injury. • Three Navy wrestlers earned their first collegiate dual victories in the win. • While the Mids earned bonus points for the two Duke forfeits, they went on to win three bonus-point bouts - major decision by Jack Stanton-Taddeo (157), fall by Dean Caravela (184), tech fall by Jacob Koser (197). • Jacob Allen (133) improved to 4-0 in dual action this season with his 6-2 victory over Harrison Campbell. Allen has dual wins over California Baptist, Lehigh, Drexel and Duke. Allen has won six of his last seven matches overall. • Making his fifth career dual appearance, Wyatt Long (149) earned his first collegiate dual victory by way of an 8-5 decision over Wade Unger. Long came into the match 0-3 in duals this season. • Also earning his first collegiate dual victory was Jack Stanton-Taddeo (157), who came into the match having wrestled in just a pair of duals. He dominated Duke's Eric Carter, 11-2, to earn the major decision. • Bothered by an injury over the last handful of weeks, ninth-ranked Tanner Skidgel (165) returned to the mat where he dealt Ben Anderson a 5-3 loss.Skidgel is now 15-4 overall and 6-2 in dual action and has won nine of his last 10 matches. • Team captain Spencer Carey cruised to his 16th win of the season with a 9-4 win against Mason Eaglin. • Dean Caravela (184) reaped the rewards of bumping up a weight class, scoring his first dual victory by pinning Kai Blake (6:01). Caravela had wrestled 11 matches at 174 pounds this season where he posted a 5-6 record. • Rookie Jacob Koser (197) won his ninth consecutive match with 17-2 tech fall against Vincent Baker. Six of Koser's last seven wins have been either by tech fall (4) or fall (2). The rookie is now 18-5 overall and 10-2 in dual competition. More From Coach Sharratt • Building a great team requires resiliency and Dean Caravela bumping up to 184 was a great igniter for the bench today. He scored points in all positions and never let up the pressure while pursuing a pin. • Jacob Koser was another crowd-pleaser, scoring multiple takedowns and earning near fall points in numerous positions. He is really in a great place, having fun, competing hard and steps it up when the whistle blows. • Spencer Carey was relentless on his attacks and dominated the shot count. He works unbelievably hard and his style is very entertaining.

Campbellsville ran away with its second team crown at the WCWA Nationals Championships MARIETTA, Ga. -- In just seven years, Campbellsville Lady Tiger wrestling has pushed their national championship total to 11 individuals and ran away with their second team crown at the 2020 WCWA National Championship. Three Lady Tigers won individual titles -- Abby Nette (130), Mariah Harris (170) and Alexandra Castillo (191). The win for Nette is her second in a row as she finished along with Harris as a four-time WCWA All-American. Castillo earns her second All-American honor. The three joined 10 others to earn All-American status -- which is the Top 8 in each respective weight class. McKenzie Bacich (101), McKayla Campbell (109), Charlotte Fowler (116), Katlyn Pizzo (116), Adriana Lopez (123), Randi Robison (136), Gabrielle Garcia (143), Mhina Oseitutu (143), Alexia Foca (155) and Kenya Sloan (170). Head coach Lee Miracle also earned his second WCWA Coach of the Year honor. As a team, Campbellsville dominated the competition by out-scoring the host Life University Running Eagles by 117 points, 230-113. Jamestown University finished in third with 111.5 points, Presbyterian University was fourth with 94 points and Oklahoma City was fifth with 92.5 points. The win for Campbellsville is the second team title in the last three seasons as the Lady Tigers won their first WCWA championship in 2018. Abby Nette -- 130 pounds Nette squared off with Gabby Skidmore of Augsburg University and just two minutes in had a four-point take down but a reversal by Skidmore put the score at 4-1. Late in the opening period, Nette answered with another take down to lead 6-1 before holding on late to win 6-2. The title for Nette is her second-straight and the third in Campbellsville women's wrestling history at the 130-pound weight class. Mariah Harris --170 pounds Going into the finals, Campbellsville knew it would come away with at least one national champion as Mariah Harris battled teammate Kenya Sloan. Harris, the two-seed, lost her last matchup with top-seeded Sloan, but today overcame that. With 45 seconds to go in the first period, Harris earned a passivity point and then a four-point throw to lead 5-0. But just a few minutes gone in the second, Sloan rallied with a four-point take down herself and pushed Harris off the mat to tie the match at 5-5. But Sloan ended up going down with an injury late in the final match handing Harris the 9-5 win. Harris is now just the fourth Lady Tiger ever to earn All-American honors every season for Campbellsville joining alums Kayla Miracle, Hanna Hall, Shelby Hall and Koral Sugiyama. Alexandra Castillo -- 191 pounds Needing to win her fourth match in a row, Castillo did so with ease in the finals at 191 pounds over Agatha Andrews of Jamestown University. The 2019 WCWA and NAIA All-American, Castillo went to work in the first period with a big-time four-point take down that almost ended in a pin but Andrews reversed it for a point. Leading 4-1 heading to the second period, Castillo earned two more take downs including a gut-wrench move to end up winning 8-1. All-Americans to note: The Lady Tigers had eight wrestle in the finals, three came away with national championships and the other five finished as runner-up. It's the second straight season McKayla Campbell has earned a runner-up finish at 109 pounds and the third straight season she's finished as All-American. Charlotte Fowler also earned her third All-American honor after coming back from an injury last season. Alexia Foca is the final multi-year All-American after earning the honor in 2018 as a freshman. The All-American honor is the first for Katlyn Pizzo (runner-up; 116 lbs.), Adriana Lopez (4thplace; 123 lbs.), Gabrielle Garcia (runner-up, 143 lbs.), McKenzie Bacich (runner-up; 101 lbs.), Mhina Oesitutu (8th place, 143 lbs.), and Randi Robison (6th place, 136 lbs.). Of the 15 wrestlers that made the trip, 13 finished in the Top 8 to earn All-American honors.
