Wyoming Seminary's Nic Bouzakis is ranked No. 1 at 126 pounds (Photo/Sam Janicki, SJanickiPhoto.com) With the ever-increasing nationalization of all high school sports, a showdown between No. 1 and No. 2 within the course of a given season is much more the norm than the exception. It should be noted that this is a 20-plus year trend within scholastic wrestling, while for other sports it is much more recent than that. This year's No. 1 against No. 2 dual meet will happen on Friday night when second-ranked Blair Academy (N.J.) plays host to top-ranked Wyoming Seminary (Pa.). Befitting the nationalized trend of high school sports is the fact two prep schools are on top of the Fab 50 national high school team rankings. Below are the projected matches along with an overview of the contestants. 106: No. 11 Brandon Cannon or Daniel Sheen (Wyoming Seminary) vs. No. 2 Marc-Anthony McGowan (Blair Academy) Cannon was the backup for the Blue Knights at 106 pounds through the month of December, though he did win the Beast of the East after McGowan was upset 1-0 in the semifinal round by current No. 14 Tyler Vazquez (Delbarton, N.J.); McGowan reversed that defeat this past weekend in a 5-3 victory. Cannon was also champion of the Eastern States Classic this past weekend, while Sheen placed seventh at the Walsh Ironman (McGowan was champion) before failing to place at Powerade. On the other hand, McGowan was a Cadet World freestyle gold medalist at 45 kilos this summer, while at the trials in Akron, Cannon failed to place top eight and Sheen was fourth. 113: No. 20 Brennen Cernus (Wyoming Seminary) vs. Mason Stefanelli (Blair Academy) Both wrestlers were high school state champions as freshmen; Cernus won an Indiana state title at Culver Academies, while Stefanelli was a Hawaii state champion at Punahou. This season, Cernus placed fifth at the Ironman and third at Powerade while Stefanelli failed to place at both Ironman and the Beast of the East. 120: Gregor McNeil (Wyoming Seminary) vs. No. 12 Ryan Miller (Blair Academy) McNeil was a high school state champion last year as a sophomore at 99 pounds for Hilton (N.Y.), while Miller is a two-time National Prep champion. McNeil failed to place at the Ironman and was runner-up at Powerade, while Miller was third at Ironman and runner-up at the Beast of the East. 126: No. 1 Nic Bouzakis (Wyoming Seminary) vs. No. 4 Trevor Mastrogiovanni (Blair Academy) The sophomore Bouzakis was a two-time state champion at Lake Highland Prep (Fla.) before transferring to Wyoming Seminary, while the Oklahoma State signee Mastrogiovanni is a three-time National Prep champion. On the season, Bouzakis has titles at both the Ironman and Powerade, along with a runner-up at the Powerade due to disqualification in the final when his opponent could not continue after an illegal slam; Mastrogiovanni was out for the first month-plus of the season before returning for the Blair Duals this past weekend. This is one of the most crucial matches of the whole dual meet. 132: No. 11 Drew Munch (Wyoming Seminary) vs. No. 1 Shayne Van Ness (Blair Academy) The senior Munch is a Lehigh signee and a two-time National Prep placer, including winning the title at 106 pounds as a freshman in 2017; while the junior van Ness was runner-up at National Preps last year to Beau Bartlett after a season in which he won titles at the Ironman and Beast of the East. This season Munch was champion at the Walsh Ironman pinning in all matches but the final before finishing third at the Powerade, while van Ness was out for the first month-plus before returning for the Blair Duals. 138: No. 1 Beau Bartlett (Wyoming Seminary) vs. No. 14 Lucas Chittum (Blair Academy) Penn State signee Bartlett is a three-time National Prep champion, while the freshman Chittum was a high school state champion two years ago when competing for McCallie (Tenn.) as a junior high wrestler. On the current season has won titles at the Ironman, Powerade, and Eastern States Classic; while Chittum failed to place at the Ironman but went on to win titles at the Beast of the East and the Gut Check. 145: No. 1 Lachlan McNeil (Wyoming Seminary) vs. Lorenzo Norman (Blair Academy) McNeil, a North Carolina signee, was runner-up last year at National Preps in the 120-pound weight class; while in this past off-season he was third in Junior freestyle and a Super 32 champion. During the current season, McNeil has titles at the Ironman, Powerade, and Eastern States Classic to his credit; while Norman is a very talented freshman but failed to make the second day at either the Ironman or Beast of the East. 152: Connor Kievman (Wyoming Seminary) vs. No. 3 Travis Mastrogiovanni (Blair Academy) The senior Kievman is a two-time National Prep champion, while the junior Mastrogiovanni is a two-time National Prep finalist, winning it last year at 138 pounds. This past spring, Mastrogiovanni was runner-up at the Cadet World Team Trails in freestyle at 70 kilos. On the current season, Kievman failed to place at the Ironman before taking sixth at the Powerade; while Mastrogiovanni was runner-up at the Ironman, then missed almost a month of competition before returning at the Blair Duals. 160: No. 14 Gabriel Arnold (Wyoming Seminary) vs. Thomas Stewart (Blair Academy) The freshman Arnold had an excellent youth career in Georgia, and it's continued this year with a third-place finish at the Ironman and an appearance in the semifinals of the Powerade. Stewart placed third at National Preps last year as a freshman for St. John's College (D.C.), and in the off-season was a 16U National freestyle champion; however, he failed to place at both the Ironman and the Beast of the East this season. This is yet another opportunity Blair Academy has to "steal" a match in which their wrestler is the lower-ranked competitor. 170: Andrew Donahue (Wyoming Seminary) vs. No. 7 Domonic Mata, Oliver Tipton, or Sean Kilrain (Blair Academy) The sophomore Donahue was a state runner-up last year for Culver Academies (Ind.) before transferring to the Blue Knights, while Mata was a state champion for Poway (Calif.) in 2018 before winning a National Prep title last year for Blair Academy. On the current season, Donahue placed sixth at the Ironman and eighth at Powerade, before winning the Eastern States Classic, while Mata was fourth at Ironman and second at the Beast of the East. However, Mata was not in the Buccaneers' lineup for either The Gut Check tournament or the Blair Duals. The possible absence of Mata could be an impactful factor in Friday night's dual. 182: Cole Rees (Wyoming Seminary) vs. No. 8 Rylan Rogers (Blair Academy) The junior Rees was fourth at National Preps last year in the 170-pound weight class, while the sophomore Rogers was third up at 195 pounds. This past off-season, Rogers was runner-up at both the Cadet World Team Trials and 16U Nationals in freestyle. At the Ironman, Rogers was champion while Rees placed seventh; Rees was runner-up at Powerade, while Rogers was runner-up at the Beast of the East. 195: TBD (Wyoming Seminary) vs. No. 9 Peyton Craft (Blair Academy) Projected Blue Knights' starter Kyle Costello, who was sixth at the NHSCA Junior Nationals last spring has yet to compete this season. The junior Craft is a two-time National Prep placer, including a runner-up finish last year. On the current season Craft was third at Ironman, second at the Beast of the East, and upended two nationally ranked wrestlers at the Blair Duals. 220: No. 10 Kolby Franklin (Wyoming Seminary) vs. No. 12 Noah Pettigrew (Blair Academy) This match features a pair of nationally elite sophomores, both of whom were at different schools as freshmen last year; Franklin was a state runner-up at 195 for St. Joseph's Catholic (Pa.), while Pettigrew was a state champion at 195 for Valdosta (Ga.). Both wrestlers placed at the Cadet World Team Trials in freestyle at 92 kilos and have combined for seven All-American finishes at the 16U Nationals between 2018 and 2019. At the Ironman, Franklin upended Pettigrew 3-2 in the ultimate tiebreaker of their consolation semifinal bout; Pettigrew was fourth at the Beast, while Franklin was runner-up at Powerade. 285: Nate Miller or Jacob Kaminski (Wyoming Seminary) vs. Elijah Anthony (Blair Academy) Anthony upended Miller 10-7 in the second round at the Walsh Ironman, though both wrestlers would go on to bow out of the tournament one match short of placement. Anthony finished eighth at the Beast of the East, while Miller was seventh at the Ironman. Returning National Prep runner-up Kaminski, who was fourth and then first at Oak Park Fenwick (Ill.) in 2017 and 2018, has yet to compete this season; his presence would be an obvious "game changer" for this weight class matchup.

It's official: Lourdes University will add women's wrestling to its varsity sport lineup beginning in the 2020-2021 academic year and that Kate Hill will serve as the team's head coach, the school located in northwest Ohio announced Tuesday. "Women's wrestling has been growing on the collegiate level throughout the country," Athletics Director Janet Eaton said. "We are excited to add the sport here at Lourdes, as it complements our diverse athletics offerings already in place." The Gray Wolves will compete in the NAIA, where the sport is in its second season as an invitational sport. There are 28 NAIA institutions that sponsoring women's wrestling for the 2019-2020 season, and several other schools have announced plans to add the sport for next season. Lourdes joins NCAA member Tiffin University as the only schools in the state of Ohio to sponsor women's varsity wrestling. Hill arrives at Lourdes after serving as a graduate assistant at Campbellsville University for since the summer of 2018. During the 2018-2019 season, Campbellsville finished fourth at the NAIA National Invitational as a team while producing a national champion and a pair of national runners-up. Upon her departure from Campbellsville midway through this season, the Tigers were ranked second in the latest NAIA Coaches' Poll. "Coach Hill has a passion for wrestling," Eaton stated. "I am confident that she has the ability to start our program based upon our her enthusiasm and knowledge of the sport. She was a successful student-athlete on the mat and will be able to bring that knowledge to Lourdes." Hill wrestled four seasons at Campbellsville, helping the Tigers win a WCWA National Championship her senior season. Individually, she earned All-American honors on the mat in 2018. "I am very excited for the opportunity to start the women's wrestling program at Lourdes University," Hill said. "Not only do I believe that Lourdes is the ideal location to build a successful program, but it is also the ideal university to have successful athletes. The University's dedication to service and academics produces individuals that make the world better. My goal is to positively impact young women with regards to their ability to wrestle, academics, sportsmanship, work ethic, and faith. I am so grateful to be here." Hill has also served as a volunteer coach for Team Michigan at the USA Wrestling Freestyle National Championships. Located in Sylvania, Ohio just outside Toledo, Lourdes University is a four-year, private university affiliated with the Roman Catholic church. Founded in 1958, Lourdes has an enrollment of approximately 1,500 students. The new women's wrestling program -- along with the existing men's mat program, and all other intercollegiate sports -- will compete in NAIA.

Fans take in the parade of All-Americans at the 2019 NCAA Division II Championships in Cleveland (Photo/Sam Janicki, SJanickiPhoto.com) Wrestling is one of the oldest forms of combat. It is an incredibly proud sport with a rich history that dates back thousands of years. As with any sport that lasts this long, it must encounter some bumps and bruises along the way. Over the last three or four decades in particular, wrestling has been put through the ringer -- and the sport has been working to recover ever since. Title IX was particularly devastating to the growth of the sport -- causing it to regress in some ways rather than progress initially. The Title IX of the education amendments of 1972 was enacted into law in June of that year. It read as follows: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." Although the primary objective of Title IX was to expand the limited educational opportunities available at the time for women and girls -- which it did, it is the application of Title IX to athletics that has gained the greatest public visibility in the nearly 50 years since it was enacted. In particular, the effect it has had on certain non-revenue generating sports such as wrestling. In March of 2016, Forbes reported that, as of the 2014-15 school year, just 76 Division I institutions sponsored wrestling, with 229 programs being supported across all three divisions. The important takeaway from that data: 101 men's wrestling programs have been dropped between 1988-89 and 2014-15, including 41 at the Division I level. On the contrary, the total number of student athletes across all NCAA sports has increased exponentially since 1988-89, but the number of wrestlers has declined 26% from 3,428 to 2,520 in Division I over that span. On the bright side, though collegiate wrestling may not be restored to its glory days of old just yet, there are numerous indications that the sport is rebounding and growing once again. Currently, there are 78 Division I, 64 Division II and 109 Division III wresting programs across the country, according to ncaasports.org. More impressive, these figures are continuously increasing as we speak. For instance, it was announced back in 2018 that, by the year 2022-23 season Division I wrestling would expand to 80 programs. Augustana University, a Division II school in South Dakota, plus Long Island University are all on the move to Division I wrestling. In a similar vein, the Mid-American Conference (MAC) announced in March of last year that the conference added seven new affiliate members -- Bloomsburg, Clarion, Edinboro, Lock Haven, Rider, George Mason and Cleveland State -- to begin competing in the MAC with the 2019-20 wrestling season. In doing so, the mid-major conference is now the second-largest in all of Division I wrestling. Equally encouraging for the sport is the tremendous growth it has seen at both the high school and collegiate ranks as it pertains to women's wrestling. As reported by ESPN in April of 2019, the prevalence of female wrestlers has changed drastically. Since 2001, the number of girls in high school wrestling has risen from 3,405 to nearly 17,000. This is a product of the introduction of women to Olympic wrestling in 2004 and the rise of MMA, a sport dominated by strong wrestlers. I assume the MMA's crop of strong female wrestlers turned MMA athletes themselves will only grow in the future as well. In the past year, six states have sanctioned the sport, making it one of the nation's fastest-growing high school girls' programs. At the intercollegiate level, we are seeing similar trends. According to collegewrestlingrecruiting.com, there are 48 collegiate women's programs located in 22 states, plus one program in Canada. Additionally, the 48 varsity-sponsored college wrestling programs are at NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, and NWAC schools. The most recent development in this realm came just last week when Hiram College -- a Division III institution in Ohio announced that men's and women's wrestling programs would become the Terriers' 17th and 18th varsity sports -- starting with the 2020-21 season. So, what does all of this mean and why is it significant? This means that, as a sport, wrestling -- including collegiate wrestling, is growing again, rebounding from the days of Title IX cuts. As for the significance of this trend, this is noteworthy because this growth is only beneficial if it is also sustainable long-term. While the current growth the sport is seeing is great, here are four additional measures I would like to see taken. If they are, wresting, and college wrestling in particular, will be better for it. Look to the inner cities -- extremely high-populated areas -- to grow the sport As Mike Powell, executive director of BTS Chicago, and Caryn Ward, a BTS Chicago advisory board member, point out in their July 2019 InterMat feature, inner cities are ripe with possible wrestlers -- they just may not know it yet. The Beat the Streets organization currently operates in eight different locations: Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New York, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Cleveland, Boston, Providence and Chicago. Many of these are massive metropolitan areas and the perfect place to start attracting young wrestlers to the sport. If you can hook the athletes while their young, you'll have them as fans and participants for life. Don't forget about NCAA Division II, Division III, NAIA, NJCAA and NCWA wrestling There is a plethora of reasons as to why utilizing the sport in the lower NCAA divisions is the perfect way to grow the sport. For instance, Division II and Division III schools carry more wrestling programs than Division I institutions. The increased support for wrestling is because they (DII and DIII institutions) traditionally have tough times attracting students to campus. In the Big Ten, for example, hundreds of thousands of applications pour in year after year to Columbus, State College alike. At schools like Mercyhurst (Division II) or Gannon (Division III), it is tougher to get students to enroll. Wrestling, however, is an asset -- a very literal recruiting tool to encourage kids to campus ultimately helping mitigate some enrollment concerns. Naturally, smaller, lower-level institutions tend to be more enrollment-focused than some of your Big Ten and ACC juggernauts. With that in mind, we need to utilize and capitalize on the mutually beneficial relationship between the needs of a Division II or Division III school (higher enrollment) and wrestling as a vehicle for achieving that. Doing so can fill these schools and possibly grow and popularize the sport. Allow more opportunities for current fans and new fans to see the beauty of NCAA wrestling unfold live via more dual or tri-meets I realize that large meets with a gaggle of schools all in attendance are necessary just for logistical and geographical purposes. It's one of the only ways to get in multiple matches for every wrestler easily and efficiently. Knowing this, I acknowledge why larger multi-school meets are a necessity. That said, they can be confusing and overwhelming to new fans trying to learn the sport. Even for the most experienced wrestling fan -- it isn't easy to watch six, eight or even 10 mats at once. Similarly, speaking from personal experience as a graduate of a Division I mid-major institution, there were years where my team wrestled less than five times at home in a given season. As a wrestling fanatic, I found ways to follow along because I had no other choice. But, for newcomers to the sport, they will never pick up the trade if they cannot see it live easily. Again, I realize there are numerous streaming platforms that allow you to take in all the wrestling coverage you can stomach -- but I think we can all agree streaming falls short to experiencing the match atmosphere at Carver-Hawkeye, Rec Hall, Gallagher-Iba Arena, The RAC and any number of electric, historic wrestling venues. The bottom line being -- if there was a greater emphasis on having more dual meets or tri-meets at schools across the country it would be more welcoming to new, less knowledgeable fans and be more advantageous for growing the sport in that way. Plus, your hardcore fans would still attend too. Keep furthering the growth of women's wrestling at all levels The numbers and the growth already seen since the early 2000s with respect to women's wrestling speak for themselves. Any growth or increased availability -- whether for men, women or both will prove beneficial to growing and popularizing the sport as a whole. As it stands now, the sport is growing and becoming more popular both locally and globally. However, these developments and beneficial changes mean zero if they cannot be sustained long-term. While these four solutions are not an exhaustive list nor are they the only ways to grow and popularize the wrestling brand, they are legitimate options nonetheless. I admit, the best option to truly aiding the growth and popularization of collegiate wrestling would be to have a media rights deal akin to what NCAA football and basketball receive. But, as everyone reading this already knows, this hypothetical behemoth of a TV deal with ESPN, ABC, CBS or any other major player in sports broadcasting is nothing more than a pipe dream in reality.

Who says you can never go home again? Not Derek Foore. Ten years after winning a national wrestling title for Notre Dame College, Foore has returned to his college alma mater as an assistant coach under head coach Sonny Marchette, the Cleveland-area school has announced. Foore, a 2014 NDC graduate, was a two-time All-American for the Falcons. Wrestling at 197 pounds, Foore won a national title at the 2010 NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) Championships… and was a runner-up at the 2011 NAIAs. Prior to stepping onto the mat at Notre Dame College, Foore wrestled at Wadsworth High, where he compiled a 175-18 overall record and was a three-time runner-up at the Ohio state championships. For all his accomplishments in wrestling, Foore has been welcomed into three Halls of Fame – Notre Dame College (inducted as a member of the 2010 National Championship team), as well as the Medina County and Wadsworth High School halls. Foore posted this message on Facebook this weekend: "I am more excited than ever to announce that I will be giving back to the wrestling program that gave me so many life lessons and tools that I use not only in the sport of wrestling, or business but also my life. Thank you for bringing me back home NDC Wrestling. I am looking forward to taking care of on my end to make sure we bring home another national title as well as work with them in mentor them in life outside the mat." Located in South Euclid, Ohio in suburban Cleveland, Notre Dame College is a private, four-year college affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. Founded in 1922, Notre Dame College has an enrollment of 2,100 students. In addition to producing NAIA champ Derek Foore, the Falcon wrestling program -- now competing in NCAA Division II -- can also claim Joey Davis, the first (and only) four-time undefeated D2 national champ (2013-2016) for any school, who is now unbeaten in his professional MMA career.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The top-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team batted 10-for-10 in a 41-0 win at No. 18 Purdue on Sunday. The Hawkeyes won four top-10 matchups and scored bonus points in half of their bouts, including two falls, two technical falls, and one major decision. "I like bonus points. It makes it uneven and puts pressure on those guys," said Iowa head coach Tom Brands. "It doesn't have to be tight. Send messages to the rest of country. I like pins. I like bonus points." The Hawkeyes scored bonus points in three matches before the break. Spencer Lee and Austin DeSanto led off at 125 and 133, outscoring their opponents a combined 34-1 in six minutes, 19 seconds. In a matchup of top five opponents, Lee defeated No. 5 Devin Schroder 17-0 in 2:55. Lee scored a takedown 11 seconds into the match, forced a stalling point, and strung together four tilts worth 14 points. DeSanto used three takedowns and 12 nearfall points to end his match 24 seconds into the second period, 17-1. Max Murin earned a 6-1 decision at 141, Pat Lugo won by 8-0 major decision at 149, and Kaleb Young sent Iowa into the break with a 20-0 lead, topping No. 8 Kendall Coleman, 4-3. "I'd rather get technical falls or pin guys, but we have to win close matches too," Young said. "Our coaches preach to us that the most dominant wrestlers win the close matches. I want to dominate guys, but I have to win the close ones too." The second half opened with the "sugar bull" making its second appearance of the weekend at 165 pounds. Alex Marinelli turned his third takedown of the first period into his seventh fall of the season, flattening Tanner Webster in 1:51. The final four bouts included two top-5 wins and a pin. Michael Kemerer scored three takedowns in the final period to defeat No. 4 Dylan Lydy, 8-4, at 174. Jacob Warner opened the third period with four nearfall points, and closed it with a takedown in the final 34 seconds to win 8-2 against No. 2 Christian Brunner. Abe Assad scored a takedown in the first period and another in the third to win, 5-2, at 184, and Tony Cassioppi put an exclamation point on the shutout with a fall two minutes into his 285-pound match. "This is when it gets fun," Kemerer said. "Down the stretch we're going to need to win highly-ranked matchups. We got the shutout here. They had a lot of guys and thought maybe they could beat us, make it 5-5 or 6-4; we took 10 matches. We just have to stay in there and stay tough." "Purdue has a good team this year," Warner said. "They are up-and-coming, but what we showed today shows what kind of team we are. We are the No. 1 team in the country and we're here to shut everybody out." UP NEXT Iowa hosts No. 2 Nebraska on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 8 p.m. (CT) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. An autograph session follows the dual. #SORENSENSTRONG The wrestling program will distribute #SorensenStrong bandanas to the first 3,000 fans through the doors of Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Jan. 18.

MADISON, Wis. -- In their return home, the eighth-ranked Wisconsin wrestling team put on a show at the UW Field House on Sunday afternoon. The Badgers beat the No. 2-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers, 25-18, highlighted by big wins from Tristan Moran and Cole Martin. At 141 pounds, Moran, coming off of a huge upset over No. 2 Mitch McKee from Minnesota on Friday, defeated No. 6 Chad Red of Nebraska by a 9-4 decision. Moran fell behind with an early take down by McKee but bounced back in the second period and held on for the decision. No. 12 Martin wrestled angry Sunday at 149 pounds. Martin lost a heartbreaking 6-4 decision on Friday against No. 4 Brayton Lee of Minnesota but bounced back in a huge way today. Martin took down No. 16 Collin Purinton early in the first period and recorded the pin in just 1:44. Redshirt junior Evan Wick, Wisconsin's All-American 165-pounder, recorded his 100th collegiate victory against No. 3 Isaiah White. Wick is currently ranked sixth by FloWrestling and made a huge statement today getting the 6-3 decision. Eric Barnett started the dual off at 125-pounds with a big victory. Barnett, the true freshman out of Hortonville, Wisconsin, pinned Nebraska's Alex Thomsen in 5:45. Barnett has appeared in two duals at the UW Field House and each has resulted in a pin. No. 1 Seth Gross and No. 5 Trent Hillger both tacked on ranked victories Sunday. At 133-pounds, Gross got the 13-5 major decision over No. 13 Ridge Lovett. Wrapping up the night at 285-pounds, Hillger beat Nebraska's No. 16 Christian Lance 4-1. Straight from the mat "It was an outstanding team win. I'm very happy with the guys, not just for the win but we had a lot of upset guys on Friday night after Minnesota. I'm very happy with the way that they responded. They took the message to heart and they went out and wrestled hard and scored a lot of bonus points. That is something we have been emphasizing and up and down the lineup I am very proud of how they responded." - Head coach, Chris Bono "Honestly I think it's better for me. I love big time matches, I love big time crowds. The higher the rank, the better they are so I just go out there and have fun. I don't think there is anyone in the 141-pound weight class that can beat me. I mean that's what Coach Bono preaches to me all day and that's what I truly believe. When I'm on, I don't think there are many people that can beat me. " - Redshirt senior, Tristan Moran "You can't allow the wins and losses to determine how you're going to wrestle. You have to execute your game plan every single time. That's something that's big for me, just staying calm and staying relaxed. If you have short term memory that helps you stay calm and relaxed, so that's really good that coach is preaching that.

STILLWATER -- The No. 11 Oklahoma State wrestling team (5-1, 2-0 Big 12) notched six bonus point wins against Northern Colorado en route to a 36-3 defeat of the Bears on Sunday afternoon in Gallagher-Iba Arena. The victory marks the Cowboys' second conference win of the year. "When you wrestle someone you need to dominate, it's hard to ever get what you want out of those matches," coach John Smith said. "I knew there were several matches that were going to be competitive." The Pokes took nine out of 10 bouts from the Bears, starting with a Nick Piccininni 20-5 technical fall over Jace Koelzer. He lit up the scoreboard in the third period, securing four takedowns, and put the Cowboys ahead early. OSU finished the dual with three technical falls and three major decisions. At 165 pounds Travis Wittlake defeated Macoy Flanagan in the first period, 16-1. Wittlake earned two first-period takedowns and three consecutive turns to end the match in 2:23. It marked the redshirt freshman's third technical fall victory of the season. Also collecting a technical fall for the Pokes was Dakota Geer, who rattled off four takedowns in the second period and capped it with a four-point nearfall to finish the bout in 4:35. He defeated Seth Bogulski, 19-3. Dusty Hone defeated Christopher Sandoval via major decision, 8-0. The Cowboy scored four points in the second period and didn't give up a point to the Bear. Boo Lewallen remained undefeated, earning his third win over a ranked opponent this season. He upended 17th-ranked Andrew Alirez, 11-7, behind a six-point effort in the third. "I'm just trying to figure out how to make matches go the way I want them to go, which I think our whole team is trying to do," Lewallen said. "I'm just trying to clean up these matches and continue to put pressure on guys and score points. Yeah, I separated the score when it got hard late in the match, but I'd like to do that earlier in the match, where I open up the score a little more early on and then wrestle through the match like that. Coming off a third-place finish at the Southern Scuffle, Wyatt Sheets collected a 17-4 major decision over Nathan Moore behind a four-takedown final period. Senior Andrew Shomers collected his second dual win of the season at 174 pounds with a shutout victory over Northern Colorado's Billy Higgins. Anthony Montalvo defeated Alan Clothier in a close, 6-3, decision to claim his fourth dual win of the season. Austin Harris closed out the dual with a 4-3 victory in the heavyweight match. He picked up a third-period takedown and held off a late attack to secure the one-point decision and his third straight dual match win. Reece Witcraft had the only loss of the day in a tough match against No. 19 Mosha Schwartz, 12-11. Schwartz earned a takedown late in third to give him the advantage. The Cowboys return to action Friday night with a Big 12 dual against West Virginia and follow that up with a second dual slated for Saturday, both at 7 p.m. Results: 125: No. 4 Nick Piccininni (OSU) TF Jace Koelzer (UNCO) 20-5 133: No. 19 Mosha Schwartz (UNCO) dec.

BOONE, N.C. -- JohnMark Bentley reached a career milestone Sunday. Coincidentally, he achieved it in the company of many App State wrestlers who helped him get there. With a large group of wrestling alums in attendance for the annual Old Timers Match, Bentley picked up the 100th win of his head coaching career as the Mountaineers swept a Southern Conference doubleheader in Varsity Gym. App State opened the doubleheader with a 48-0 victory against Presbyterian and finished it with a 41-3 victory against Davidson to improve to 3-0 in SoCon action and 4-2 overall. In the process, Bentley improved his career record to 101-68-1 (with five SoCon regular season titles) since he became the Mountaineers' head coach in 2009. In between the two wins Sunday, App State recognized its wrestling alums with a presentation that included handshakes from Bentley, who received plenty of congratulatory embraces and comments immediately after the announcement of his 100th victory. "I'm just honored and humbled and thankful to be able to coach a lot of great wrestlers and a lot of great teams," Bentley said. "My sights are all looking forward to what we're going to do to move forward." App State picked up 19 wins in 20 total matches, with bonus points resulting from 15 — there were a combined four forfeits. Cary Miller (heavyweight), Matt Zovistoski (157 pounds) and Jonathan Millner (149 pounds) delivered pins as part of 2-0 afternoons, with Millner accounting for 11 points individually thanks to a tech fall in his other match. There were also 2-0 records produced by Sean Carter (two major decisions at 125 pounds), Codi Russell (tech fall and major decision at 133 pounds), Bradley Irwin (one tech fall at 141 pounds), Thomas Flitz (nine total team points at 174 pounds), Mason Fiscella (one major decision at 184 pounds in the first two dual appearances of his career) and Paul Carson (two forfeit wins at 197 pounds). App State 48, Presbyterian 0 The Mountaineers, who received wins by forfeit from Will Formato (165 pounds), Flitz and Carson against a SoCon newcomer in its first year of Division I wrestling, also got six points from a win by fall from Millner in the third period of his match against Bryton Goering. App State benefited from back-to-back tech falls from Russell (first period against Parker Corwin) and Irwin (third period against Reid Stewart). The major decisions came from Carter (14-4 against Jacob Brasseur) and Miller (14-2 against Imani Heslop). The closest matches of the dual involved Zovistoski, who won a 5-3 decision against Zachary Phillips, and Fiscella, who pulled out a 3-2 decision against Austin Stith. A redshirt freshman, Fiscella recorded a takedown in the first 10 seconds of his first career dual appearance and earned a tiebreaking escape early in the third period against Presbyterian's leader in wins. App State 41, Davidson 3 Miller wrapped up the doubleheader with a pin just 1:38 into his match against Finlay Holston. Zovistoski also produced six points with his third-period pin of Hunter Costa. Millner pushed his lead to 16-1 to win by tech call against Will Baldwin, and App State's major decisions against the Wildcats came from Carter (against Cian Fischer), Russell (against Kyle Gorant) and Fiscella (against Gavin Henry). Irwin won an 8-5 decision against David Loniewski. With riding time in his favor, Irwin trailed 5-4 on the scoreboard entering the third period in the down position. He essentially broke a tie on a reversal with 1:37 left and added to his lead with a stalling penalty against Loniewski. The 2019-20 wrestling season for App State is presented by Hungry Howies.

South Dakota State and Wyoming each won five matches, but it was Danny Vega's technical fall in the opening bout of the wrestling dual that proved to be the difference in a 17-16 Jackrabbit victory Sunday afternoon at Frost Arena. With their fifth consecutive win, the Jackrabbits improved to 6-3 overall and 3-0 in Big 12 Conference duals. Wyoming, which received votes in the latest coaches' poll, dropped to 4-7 overall and 2-1 in the Big 12. A junior from Tucson, Arizona, Vega scored the first eight points of his 125-pound match against Jacob Svihal on a takedown, two-point near-fall and four-point near-fall. He wound up with an 18-3 technical fall midway through the second period after tallying an escape, takedown and another four-point near-fall. After seventh-ranked Montorie Bridges posted a 5-1 decision over Zach Price to get Wyoming on the board, the Jackrabbits built their lead to 11-3 with decisions by Clay Carlson and Henry Pohlmeyer. Carlson turned in a 12-6 victory at 141 pounds, while Pohlmeyer scored a 6-2 decision over Jaron Jensen in the 149-pound matchup. The Cowboys gained a 13-11 lead with three consecutive wins. Dewey Krueger (157 pounds) and 12th-ranked Hayden Hastings (174) each won by decision, while Cole Moody ended the Jackrabbits' Tanner Cook's streak of wins - and pins - with a 13-3 major decision in the 165-pound bout. SDSU's Zach Carlson, ranked 16th, put the Jackrabbits on top for good with a hard-fought 3-2 decision over Tate Samuelson, staving off a takedown attempt at the final horn of their 184-pound matchup. At 197 pounds, 20th-ranked Tanner Sloan gave SDSU the cushion it needed by winning a 6-3 decision against Stephen Buchanan. Needing to avoid giving up bonus points to win the dual, the Jackrabbits' Blake Wolters took 20th-ranked Brian Andrews down to the wire in the heavyweight bout. The match was scoreless through two periods with Andrews working from the top in the third. Andrews was unable to get a turn on Wolters and had to settle for a 1-0 decision with the point coming via a two-minute riding-time advantage. UP NEXT The Jackrabbits continue their homestand, hosting Iowa State in another Big 12 dual Friday night. Start time is set for 7 p.m. at Frost Arena. NOTES Wyoming leads the all-time series, which dates back to the 1953-54 season, by a 16-5 count SDSU has won five of the last seven meetings between the two squads Sloan and Zach Carlson improved to 7-2 in duals this season Vega won his sixth consecutive dual match, upping his season mark to 6-1 Cook had won all four of his previous dual matches by fall The Jackrabbits improved to 27-9 in Big 12 duals since joining the conference as an affiliate member in 2015-16 Attendance was 956 Results: 125: Danny Vega (SDSU) tech. fall Jacob Svihal (WYO), 18-3 [4:05} 133: #7 Montorie Bridges (WYO) dec.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team moved to 2-0 in Southern Conference action with a 34-5 win over Gardner-Webb in McKenzie Arena on Sunday afternoon. The Mocs won seven of the nine matches contended and benefited from a GWU forfeit at 149 pounds. Sophomore Tyler Shilson was first on the mat at 157 pounds. He gave up an early takedown to Taylor Parks, but responded with a takedown and backpoints in the second period to secure a 10-4 decision. GWU got on the board with a decision at 165, and nearly closed the gap with another win at 174. Sophomore Hunter Fortner gave up two takedowns to Sam Mora in the first two periods and found himself trailing 4-2 midway through the second period at 174. An escape and a second stalling call against Mora helped tie the score at 4-4 going into the third period. Mora escaped, but Fortner got the winning takedown to earn a 6-5 decision. "I think we came out a little bit slow as a team," stated head coach Kyle Ruschell. "As the match got going I think our guys wrestled pretty tough. We got to our leg attacks and scored a lot of points." After the 174 match, Gardner-Webb was penalized one team point for two warnings for questioning the official. Sophomore Matthew Waddell, ranked No. 20 in the latest FloWrestling rankings at 184, put UTC up 18-2 with a third-period pin over Christian Salter. Waddell improved to 12-7 overall and 2-0 in league matches with that win. Senior Rodney Jones followed with an 8-4 decision against Roderick Davis at 197. Sophomore Grayson Walthall snapped a six-match slide with a tech fall over Gabriel Pickett at heavyweight. That put the Mocs up 26-2, clinching the team win. No. 20 Fabian Gutierrez added another tech fall at 125 for his 10th win of the season. "The first thing I said to these guys was that we needed to start separating ourselves from competition," stated Ruschell. "That's what it's going to take to take these guys out of the match early, instead of letting them hang around. The guys did that for the most part." Sophomore Colton Landers had a strong win over Trevon Majette in his first career start at 133. Majette is a recent transfer from Old Dominion who pinned defending SoCon Champion Codi Russell in the Runnin' Bulldogs dual against Appalachian State on Thursday. After a scoreless opening period, Landers quickly escaped in the second and took the 1-0 lead into the third. He rode out Majette in the final two minutes, adding two backpoints late in the match. Couple this win with a 4-1 showing at the Southern Scuffle and Landers has improve his overall record to 6-3 on the year. "Colton had a great win in his first start in a dual meet," added Ruschell. "He is pairing it up well with a good Scuffle. He's come into his own now." Gardner-Webb won the 141 match to close out the day. UTC improves to 4-6 overall and 2-0 in SoCon action. The Runnin' Bulldogs dropped to 1-5 and 0-2 in league duals. Up next for the Mocs is a Virginia road trip next weekend. The Mocs visit No. 23 Virginia on Friday, Jan. 17, before taking on VMI on Sunday, Jan. 19. Be sure to mark your calendars for the next home dual on Sunday, Feb. 2, against Appalachian State.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Penn State Nittany Lions (5-1, 2-0 B1G), ranked No. 2 in the latest InterMat Tournament Power Index, dominated No. 12 Northwestern (2-3, 0-2 B1G) for its second Big Ten dual meet victory of the weekend. Penn State won seven bouts to roll to a 30-9 victory in a Rec Hall Sunday matinee. Coming off a win on Friday over Illinois, Penn State controlled the dual with Northwestern from the outset. The Nittany Lions won seven bouts and picked up four bonus point wins. Competing for the second time in three days after losing top-ranked heavyweight Anthony Cassar and All-American 197-pounder Kyle Conel to injury and short a couple more ranked starters, Penn State still rolled in front of over 6,300 fans in sold out Rec Hall. The dual was Penn State's 52nd straight sellout in Rec Hall and the 57th of 59 at home (including five of seven in the Bryce Jordan Center). The dual began at 133. Sophomore Roman Bravo-Young (Tucson, Ariz.), ranked No. 3 nationally at 133 met Dylan Utterback and rolled to a 23-8 technical fall at the 6:26 mark, giving Penn State an early 5-0 lead. Junior Nick Lee (Evansville, Ind.), ranked No. 2 at 141, matched Bravo-Young with a technical fall of his own, picking up a 20-5 tech at the 4:51 mark over Northwestern's Alec McKenna. Sophomore Jarod Verkleeren (Greensburg, Pa.) met Eric Yang at 149 and dominated the bout, posting an 8-2 victory with 2:05 in riding time. No. 4 Brady Berge (Mantorville, Minn.) was out once more at 157 and Bo Pipher (Paonia, Colo.) took on No. 1 Ryan Deakin. Pipher battled the top-ranked Wildcat tough before dropping a 6-0 decision as Northwestern picked up its first win of the dual. Senior Vincenzo Joseph (Pittsburgh, Pa.), ranked No. 1 at 16 and made short work of Shayne Oster. Joseph took the Wildcat down, locked up a cradle and picked up the fast fall at the 0:56 mark. Joseph's pin gave Penn State a 19-3 lead at halftime. Senior Mark Hall (Apple Valley, Minn.), ranked No. 1 at 174, continued Penn State's dominance to start the second half. Hall rolled to a 17-2 tech fall over Northwestern's Tyler Morland at the 5:21 mark to give the Nittany Lions a 24-3 lead. Redshirt freshman Creighton Edsell (Wyalusing, Pa.) moved up a weight and stepped in for No. 8 Aaron Brooks (Hagerstown, Md.) at 184. Edsell thrilled the Rec Hall faithful with a third period escae, late takedown and riding time to post a 4-1 win. Senior Shakur Rasheed (Coram, N.Y.), wrestling for the first time in ten months this weekend, made his second start of the season at 197 and dropped a tough 7-5 decision to Lucas Davison. True freshman Seth Nevills (Clovis, Calif.) wrestled in his second dual meet as Penn State's starting heavyweight and rolled to an 8-1 win over NU's Jack Heyob, putting Penn State up 30-6. Freshman Brandon Meredith (Limerick, Pa.) took on No. 7 Michael DeAugustino at 125 in the dual's final match-up.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Using wins in seven out of 10 bouts, No. 24 Rutgers wrestling (7-1, 2-1) defeated Michigan State (4-4, 0-2), 25-12, on Sunday afternoon at Jenison Field House in East Lansing, Michigan. The Scarlet Knights won the first seven matches against the Spartans, including ranked decisions from Sammy Alvarez (133) and Billy Janzer (184) for the first Big Ten Conference road victory of the season. Gerard Angelo (149) earned his second win by bonus in Big Ten action with his major decision, JoJo Aragona (141) added six team points after an injury default in the third period of his match while No. 17 Nicolas Aguilar, No. 19 Jordan Pagano (197), Alex Esposito (HWT) all added decisions to help RU to its fifth win over the Spartans in program history. The match of the dual may have occurred in the opening seven minutes on Sunday, as Janzer faced No. 18 Cameron Caffey in a rematch from the 2019 Navy Classic, a match Janzer lost, 6-4. Janzer landed two takedowns in the second period, and after a Caffey escape, held on with an escape at the buzzer for the 6-4 decision. The win was Janzer's second win over a ranked opponent during the weekend road swing, as he also took out No. 26 (The Open Mat) Rocky Jordan in Rutgers' dual loss to No. 5 Ohio State on Friday in Columbus. Alvarez also avenged an early-season loss in his rematch, as he took on No. 25 Garrett Pepple. Trailing 3-0 in the third period but with more than a minute of riding time, Alvarez worked a takedown after a scramble to force sudden victory. Pepple then missed on a single leg, allowing Alvarez to sweep over for the 5-3 final. Several other Scarlet Knights also impressed against the Spartans, as Esposito was thrust into action against No. 33 (The Open Mat) Christain Rebottaro. After conceding the first takedown, Esposito responded with a takedown at the 30 second mark in the first period for a 3-2 lead. Esposito nearly caught Rebottaro on his back on several occasions and collected more than two minutes of riding time in his 5-2 victory. Aguilar and Pagano added decisions to give RU a 15-0 lead at intermission. Aragona followed the break against Jaden Enriquez and landed a takedown in the second period for a 3-1 lead before his opponent withdrew due to injury. Angelo followed with a dominant 16-5 major decision over Alex Hrisopoulos – which included back-to-back four-point near falls – to make it 25-0 in favor of the Scarlet Knights. MSU responded with three consecutive wins to close out the dual, but the team score was already out of reach. UP NEXT Rutgers returns home to host No. 19 Cornell Friday night at the RAC.

Montini Catholic went undefeated at the DCC Super Duals on Saturday The second Saturday was another notable one on the national calendar, with many dual meets and bracket tournaments taking the fore, even if there were weather cancellations in some parts of the Midwest. Montini triply sensational at DCC Super Duals Ranked No. 5 nationally, Montini Catholic entered Saturday with a 3-0 record against top-25 teams in the country. The Broncos would have a chance to match that record on the day up at Detroit Catholic Central (Mich.). Their day started with a 47-12 win over No. 18 Brighton (Mich.) and continued with a 42-19 victory over No. 16 Davison (Mich.); match-by-match results were not available at the time of writing this recap. The final match of the day was against a team ranked No. 3 nationally for the second time in 12 days, this time it was the host school, Detroit Catholic Central (Mich.). The Shamrocks won five of the first seven weight classes, starting with a Manuel Rojas major decision at 170 points. Montini Catholic earned pins from Trevor Swier (182) and Josh LaBarbera (195) against the two weakes spots in the Detroit Catholic Central lineup to take a 12-4 lead; the Shamrocks responded with pins from Brendin Yatooma (220) and No. 12 Steven Kolcheff (285) against the weakest spots of the Montini lineup. Detroit Catholic Central extended the lead to 22-12 with Anthony Walker's 7-3 win over Cadet double All-american Joseph Fernau at 106 and Dylan Gilcher's 4-2 win over state placer Nick Gonzalez at 113. Going pin-tech-pin in response were the Broncos to take a 29-22 lead that lasted the rest of the dual meet: two-time state placer Nain Vazquez over state qualifier Caleb White at 120, No. 7 Dylan Ragusin 27-12 over freshman T.J. Bunn at 126, and Cadet freestyle All-American Ethan Stiles over state medalist Camden Trupp at 132. Consecutive wins from seniors Mark Shaeffer and No. 5 (at 138) Josh Edmond would shrink the Shamrock deficit to 29-28 with two matches remaining; this was the result of the Shamrocks flipping those two wrestlers in the lineup all day on Saturday, with Edmond knocking off No. 15 Fidel Mayora 5-2 in this dual meet. In the penultimate match, a battle of two-time state placers saw Joe Roberts outlast Logan Sanom 1-0 to push Montini Catholic to a 32-28 lead. This set the last match where No. 7 Derek Gilcher would need any bonus point victory against freshman Brayden Thompson to give Detroit Catholic Central an eighth match victory of the dual meet and the dual meet victory; however, Gilcher only won 9-4, and Montini Catholic secured the 32-31 upset despite winning only six bouts. Other Super Duals highlights No. 7 St. Edward (Ohio) competed without four key starters: state placer Scott Richter (132), UWW Cadet freestyle All-American Luke Geog (145), No. 13 Bryce Hepner (152), and two-time state qualifier Michael Garcar (182); they also had a reserve wrestler in at 126 pounds. The Eagles were swept, losing 31-25 to No. 16 Davison (Mich.) to open the day, 42-18 against No. 3 Detroit Catholic Central (Mich.), and 33-30 against No. 49 Dundee (Mich.). Davison won a pair of one-point bouts in the last two matches of the dual meet to upend St. Edward, 9-8 at 138 and 3-2 at 145; while in the featured individual bout of the whole day, it was No. 3 Padraic Gallagher of St. Edward who beat No. 1 (at 170) Alex Facundo 3-1 down at 160 (it should be noted that a full box score is not available). Detroit Catholic Central won nine bouts against the Eagles, while Dundee won eight matches including a 3-1 mark in matches decided by two points or less, and getting an in-match injury default at 106 pounds (Braeden Davis over Wyatt Richter). From a national rankings perspective, probably the most notable outcome of the day was No. 49 Dundee winning eight matches in a 27-26 victory over No. 18 Brighton. It was an affair in which both teams had relatively "base lineups." The Vikings again went 3-1 in matches decided by one point, this included the winner-take-all last match of the dual meet where Tyler Swiderski beat Zach Johnson 2-1 in a battle of two-time state placers at 152 pounds. A pair of Dundee freshman came through with the other one-point wins: Braeden Davis 2-1 over Quaylin Newton at 106 and Aiden Davis 6-5 over two-time state placer Sam Freeman at 132. Blue Knights dominate Eastern States Classic Even with not all of their starters making the trip to SUNY-Sullivan for the Eastern States Classic, No. 1 Wyoming Seminary (Pa.) dominated their way to another tournament title with 233-1/2 points, which was 145 points more than second place Shenendehowa (N.Y.). Weight class champions for the Blue Knights were No. 11 Brandon Cannon (106), No. 1 Nic Bouzakis (126), No. 1 Beau Bartlett (138), No. 1 Lachlan McNeil (145), Andrew Donahue (170), and No. 10 Kolby Franklin (220). Vince Bouzakis, who is currently a seventh-grader finished as runner-up at 99 pounds to No. 11 overall Junior High wrestler P.J. Duke (Carmel, N.Y.), losing by fall in the weight class that is specific to the Empire State; also allowed in New York State is junior high wrestlers competing at the high school varsity level. Bartlett and McNeil beat nationally ranked opponents in their championship bouts. For Bartlett, it was a 10-4 victory over No. 16 Ryan Burgos (Hilton, N.Y.), while McNeil beat No. 18 Willie McDougald (Niagara Falls, N.Y.) 5-4, though McDougald shrunk the final margin with a takedown almost at the death of the match. Three other finals bouts involved at least one nationally ranked wrestler: No. 2 Stevo Poulin (Shenendehowa, N.Y.) beat two-time state champion Dante Geislinger (Norwich, N.Y.) 7-3 at 113 pounds, No. 6 Jordan Titus (Center Moriches, N.Y.) beat No. 15 Anthony Noto (Honeoye Falls/Lima, N.Y.) 9-4 at 120, while Zach Redding (Eastport-South Manor, N.Y.) upset No. 2 Ryan Jack (Danbury, Ct.) 8-6 at 132. Blair Academy sets up No. 1 showdown with stellar home performance Wrestling at home for the first time this season after four road tournaments to open the season, No. 2 Blair Academy (N.J.) made a statement of intent at the Blair Duals as they only lost two matches across three dual meets on Saturday afternoon. They shut out Belmont Hill (Mass.) 76-0 while upending a pair of nationally ranked teams by big margins: 56-6 over No. 11 Delbarton (N.J.) and 58-4 over No. 40 Baylor School (Tenn.). It should be noted that Delbarton wrestled without two of their four nationally ranked wrestlers, Nico Nardone (126) and Anthony Clark (132/138), along with another state medalist in Kieran Calvetti (160). Making season debuts for the second-ranked Buccaneers were defending National Prep champions Trevor Mastrogiovanni (126) and Shayne van Ness (132), while No.3 Travis Mastrogiovanni (152) returned after missing two tournaments subsequent to the Ironman. The lone wrestler out for Blair Academy was No. 8 Domonic Mata (170), though they presumably are hoping for his return this coming Saturday afternoon when they host No. 1 Wyoming Seminary (Pa.) for a dual meet. No. 1 Marc-Anthony McGowan (106) and No. 9 Peyton Craft (195) had notable days: McGowan upended Nick Corday (Baylor School) 10-1 and avenged his lone loss of the season with a 5-3 victory over No. 12 Tyler Vazquez (Delbarton); while Craft beat No. 15 David Harper (Baylor School) 6-2 and upended No. 17 Luke Chakonis (Delbarton) by the same 6-2 score. Two other key Blair Academy wins on the day were No. 14 Lucas Chittum (138) pinning Garrison Dendy (Baylor School) in 5:58, along with No. 12 Noah Pettigrew (220) beating P.J. Casale (Delbarton) 6-4 in overtime.

WASHINGTON -- Behind a Tim Fitzpatrick pin and three major decisions, the American University wrestling team rolled to a 27-14 win over visiting Drexel (5-4) at Bender Arena on Saturday night. In front of a crowd that included many of the program's most decorated alums, the Eagles (2-3) soared to their second-best point total of the last two seasons. MATCH NOTES The tone for an exciting match was set early by No. 15 Gage Curry (125) who took Antonio Mininno to overtime before scoring a quick takedown for a 5-3 sudden victory. After a Drexel major decision in the second bout of the night, the Eagles turned it up with four straight wins including two major decisions and Fitzpatrick's win by fall. Redshirt senior #24 Sal Profaci (141) scored the first of those major decision victories, 15-4 over Drexel's Tyler Williams.

Redshirt junior Elijah Murphy (157) got the AU bench behind him in a narrow 2-1 decision, his first victory of the season, and a win that put AU on top 14-4. Fitzpatrick (165) was up just 2-1 before pinning Drexel's Mike Manley with 35 seconds left in the first period. The win by fall was his first of the season and sixth of his career.

Niko Camacho (285) held off Sean O'Malley of Drexel to end the night on a winning note, 3-1. HEAD COACH TEAGUE MOORE "Last night we made a lot of effort on our feet, but we didn't follow through to the points. Tonight, the guys I'll key in on - Sal Profaci, Kizhan Clarke, Tanner Harvey, Tim Fitzpatrick - when they executed and wanted to get their points on the board, they put that extra little two percent in to make sure we secured them. You could see a momentum shift within the benches. In those matches you could see the teams getting behind the winning guy and losing steam on the other side. That was the biggest difference was that we pushed through with those last little efforts." Results: 125 - Gage Curry (AU) sudden victory dec.

LOUISVILLE, Ky -- Streaks were again the theme as six National Dual Meet champions were crowned on Saturday at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky, at the 2020 U.S. Marine Corps NWCA Multi-Division National Dual Meet Championships presented by ARMS Software and Defense Soap hosted by NUWAY. Grand View (Iowa) won a record ninth straight NAIA championship by shutting out Life (Ga.) 40-0 in the final and extending the school's dual meet win streak to 85 in a row. St. Cloud State (Minn.) also continued its National Duals winning ways as the Huskies won their fourth straight Division II championship and extended their Division II-record win streak to 58 after edging McKendree (Ill.) 17-16. McKendree (Ill.) needed criteria to top Simon Fraser (B.C.) 20-19 to win the first NCAA Women's Division championship. The Bearcats came away with a second straight championship after winning the Women's Division last year. Traditional powers Wartburg (Iowa) and Augsburg (Minn.) met for the 12th time in the Division III final, but Wartburg came away with a 24-15 victory to win its 12th championship overall. Nassau Community College (N.Y.) won its third NJCAA championship, but its first since 2005 with a 23-15 win over Rochester (Minn.). The eight-team NJCAA field featured eight of the nation's top non-scholarship junior college wrestling teams. Menlo (Calif.) was the lone school to win a championship for the first time. The Oaks toppled top-seeded Campbellsville (Ky.) 22-19 to win the NAIA Women's Division. With over 70 schools sponsoring women's wrestling, this was the first year the NWCA created separate NCAA and NAIA women's national dual divisions. Division II Men Steve Costanzo's Huskies won their fourth straight Division II National Dual championship and sixth overall, which is most of any team since the inception of the Division II tournament in 2002. After topping Central Oklahoma 22-12 in the semis, St. Cloud State split five of the 10 bouts with McKendree, but Garrett Aldrich's fall at 141 pounds proved to be the difference maker in the final. The teams split overtime bouts, with St. Cloud State's James Pleski topping Juwan Edmond 6-4 at 149 pounds, while McKendree's Nick Foster topped All-American Devin Fitzpatrick 7-1 at 165. McKendree made things interesting, as heavyweight Caleb Gossett nearly scored a major decision at 285. Division III Men After escaping in the quarterfinals against Baldwin Wallace, Wartburg shifted into another gear after a 38-6 semifinal win over Wabash and then the 24-15 win over rival Augsburg. What made the win more impressive was the Knights beat three returning NCAA Division III champions in the dual. Brady Fritz beat Augsburg's returning 141-pound champ David Flynn 3-1 to give the Knights some early momentum, but Augsburg answered with back-to-back falls to take a 12-9 lead after the first five weights. Wartburg's Max Forsythe then pinned two-time champion Lucas Jeske at 165. Kobe Woods beat returning champ Lance Benick of Augsburg at 197 to cement the victory. Wartburg's 12th title is the most among any champion in any division at the National Duals. NAIA Men Grand View's win streak now sits at 85 in a row after losing just three individual bouts on the weekend. The Vikings won nine out of 10 in the semifinals against Baker (Kan.) to reach the finals to face Life (Ga.), which upset second-seeded Reinhardt (Ga.) 21-13 in the semifinals. Grand View scored six bonus victories on the way to its ninth title in a row. Top-ranked 157-pounder Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer of Grand View did need sudden victory to beat eighth-ranked Osvani Ley of Life. NJCAA Men Nassau Community College won the first two NJCAA National Dual championships in 2004 and 2005. The Lions returned to the top with a 23-15 win over Rochester Community and Technical College in a non-scholarship final. Heavyweight Michael Babcort sealed the win for Nassau with a 7-6 victory over John Noll. NCAA Women The closest match of the night came in the first NCAA Women's Division as McKendree slipped past Simon Fraser on the strength of an early forfeit and key wins by Emma Bruntil and Sydnee Kimber. With both teams loaded with age-group medalists and national team members from both the U.S. and Canada, highlight matches filled the dual. Karla Godinez of Simon Fraser topped Felicity Taylor 8-0 at 116, while McKendree's Alexia Ward stopped Lauren Mason 5-1 at 130. Bruntil's 7-0 win over All-American Nicole Depa was a key win for the Bearcats at 136. The win would offset Alyvia Fiske's 8-4 win over McKendree's Alex Glaude at 155. McKendree's top two weights would provide back-to-back wins as Kori Bullock shut out Rebekah Trudel 9-0 and Kimber would close out the dual with a 10-2 win over Emily Cue. NAIA Women Menlo took command of a close dual by winning four straight matches from 136-170 to pull away from traditional women's power Campbellsville. Alana Vives, Solin Piearcy, Marilyn Garcia and Precious Bell were solid in that four-match span. Biggest individual match came at 109 pounds where Alleida Martinez of Menlo beat McKayla Campbell 12-0 in a rematch of their WCWA final last season, also won by Martinez. DIVISION II MEN FINAL #1 ST.
