Roman Rozell (Photo/Arizona State University) Roman Rozell marked his 35th birthday by doing what he loves ... while possibly making some history: He wrestled his first match for Arizona State as a walk-on member of the Sun Devils. Rozell, a married father of six and former Army combat veteran and Green Beret, earned a standing ovation when he stepped out onto the mat in dual meet between ASU and Augustana of South Dakota Friday night at Desert Financial Arena in Tempe. "In a meaningful moment for the program following Veterans Day this Monday, former Green Beret and 35-year-old walk-on Roman Rozell made his debut for the Sun Devils, earning an ovation from the crowd of 1,090," reported the official Sun Devils wrestling website. Rozell was pinned by Augustana sophomore Dan Bishop in the first minute of their 197-pound match. (Arizona State, ranked No. 6 in the nation by InterMat, won the dual, defeating the visiting Vikings, 35-6.) According to a 600-word profile by Greg Moore of the Arizona Republic, Rozell may have indeed made history as the oldest NCAA Division I wrestler to take to the mat. "The NCAA doesn't keep track of age, but the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum couldn't find record of an older Division-I wrestler in its archives," Moore wrote. "Typically, the NCAA caps eligibility at 25 years old, but that doesn't apply for people who join the military straight out of high school." Last week, Arizona State head coach Zeke Jones told Rozell he would be wrestling for the Sun Devils in the first home match of the season. "(Assistant coach) Chris Pendleton came to me and said, 'What do you think about putting Roman in the lineup?' And I said, 'You know, I was thinking the exact same thing.' ... I'm excited about it," Jones shared with the Arizona Republic's Moore. Roman RozellThe eldest member of the Sun Devil wrestling team has overcome a ton of challenges in his life. Here's how Marshall Terrill opened his profile of Roman Rozell posted earlier this month for ASU Now, an official website for Arizona State University: "In his 34 years, Arizona State University student veteran Roman Rozell has survived his parents' divorce, addiction, six combat concussions and being struck by lightning. "Amidst these slings and arrows, Rozell has managed to write a book, obtain an associate degree (he's working on his undergraduate) and kickstart a motivational speaking career all while getting married and fathering six children. Oh, and he also finds time in his busy schedule to wrestle for the university -- as the oldest walk-on in school history ..." "Rozell decided that after 14 years in the Army, it was time to do something else. That road led him back to ASU in 2018, where he put his GI Bill to use and initially pursued a teaching degree, but switched to sociology and hopes one day to become a mental health counselor. "Before he finished his active duty, Rozell started coaching high school wrestling and his passion for the sport was ignited again. He also began training and getting into shape. At 33, he rekindled his dream of wrestling on the collegiate level. "But that was easier said than done. He had to wait about four months to discover if he still had any eligibility left. Usually 25 is the maximum age to compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. However, exceptions are made for members of the military and Latter-day Saints. Because Rozell was in the military for 14 years, he is considered a sophomore in terms of eligibility. "'I eventually discovered I'm the oldest Division 1 wrestler in the country, but I'm 19 on paper,' Rozell said. 'Wow!'" In the past, InterMat has shared the stories of at least two other college wrestlers who returned to the mat a few years older than their teammates ... or opponents. In February 2010, we profiled Justin Decker, who resumed his wrestling career at age 33 as a 157-pounder for Upper Iowa University, an NCAA Division II program ... all while running a dairy farm and raising a family. Then, six years ago, InterMat wrote about "senior wrestler" Rick Chipman, who, at age 44, was about to launch his senior year as a student and wrestler at University of Southern Maine, an NCAA Division III school ... along with being a full-time firefighter and family man. In the past, it wasn't uncommon for individuals who had served in the military for a number of years after high school to enter college after completing their service. Among those who became NCAA champs well into their 20s: University of Oklahoma's Dan Hodge (who was a married 25-year-old father as a Sooner senior in 1957) ... Oklahoma State's Dick Hutton (after returning from World War II, a three-time NCAA heavyweight champ for the Cowboys, 1947-48, and 1950) ... and Phil Kinyon, dubbed "the ancient Marine" who wrestled freestyle for the military for a number of years before enrolling at Oklahoma State, winning the 157-pound crown at the 1961 NCAAs. Wrestling is often labeled "oldest and greatest sport." Perhaps one reason: it offers opportunities for athletes of just about any age. Including Roman Rozell. Want to read additional inspiring stories? Earlier this year, InterMat profiled a blind wrestler who won an Alabama state title ... and a six-year-old boy in Illinois who was succeeding at wrestling despite being born without feet or a left hand. In 2011, InterMat wrote a feature titled "Opportunity for All", providing profiles of wrestlers such as Anthony Robles, Rulon Gardner, Matt Hamill, Les Anderson and Nick Ackerman who overcame considerable obstacles to become champions in the sport.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa Wrestling team opened the 2019-20 season Sunday with a 39-0 shutout of Tennessee-Chattanooga at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes swept 10 bouts, scoring bonus points in five matches and punctuating the dual with a first-period fall at heavyweight. Redshirt freshman Tony Cassioppi put the final touches on the shutout, registering a fall in one minute, 45 seconds in his college debut. The Hawkeye heavyweight was one of four new looks Iowa put on the mat Sunday. Redshirt freshman Nelson Brands was an 8-4 winner in his Hawkeye debut at 184, and Hawkeye All-Americans Austin DeSanto and Michael Kemerer were both winners at new weight classes. "It was something else," Brands said of his Carver debut. "I never expected the fans to be so loud. I didn't hear it till the end, it's a tunnel vision type idea so I'm not trying to listen, but you can hear them and feel the vibrations. It was a surreal moment." DeSanto, a 2019 All-American at 133 in 2019, scored 16 first-period points and went on to a 23-4 technical fall at 141 pounds. He needed just three minutes, 46 seconds to terminate the match. Kemerer, a two-time All-American at 157, returned from a one-year absence and rolled to a 20-0 technical fall at 174. He led 8-0 after one, 14-0 after two, and went feet-to-back for a six-point move to open the third. "I wanted to get the fall bad. Credit to my opponent fighting off his back. It would have been nice to go out with the pin," Kemerer said. Juniors Spencer Lee and Kaleb Young added bonus point wins for Iowa. Lee used a 12-2 first period to roll to a 16-5 major decision at 125, and Young scored three takedowns in the final minute to win 16-6 at 157. UP NEXT The Hawkeyes travel to Ames, Iowa to wrestle Iowa State on Nov. 24 in the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series. Action begins at 2 p.m. at Hilton Coliseum.

CLARION, Pa. – The Patriots wrestling team opened its dual match season with a familiar opponent but in a different conference as Mason edged the Clarion Golden Eagles, 19-18 today at Tippin Gym on Clarion's campus. The two teams met five of the last six seasons in the Eastern Wrestling League before meeting today for the first time as members of the Mid-American Conference. The Eagles won the last three dual matches with Mason last winning on January 18, 2015 at Clarion. "Two years ago, Clarion shut us out in the dual," said Head Coach Frank Beasley. "Last season they beat us 16-27 and this year we came away with a big win. I think Clarion's line-up today was the best team they have fielded in a long time." A solid win for Mason, the Clarion Golden Eagles were ranked fifth in the preseason MAC coaches' poll, while the Patriots were sitting at 13th in the 15-team conference. "Really pleased with the effort and fight out of our team across the board today," added Beasley. "Our focus was very good up and down the line-up." The Patriots and Clarion split each of the five matches on the mat, but bonus points proved to be the difference in giving George Mason the win. Both teams picked up a win by fall on, with the Patriots' freshman Josh Jones defeating Seth Koleno with 51 seconds left at 133 pounds and Clarion's Greg Bulsak pinning Jeremy Seymour in the 197-pound bout. Jones' win, as well as a major decision by Neil Schuster over Mike Vernagallo, 10-2, in the 165-pound bout, was the difference-maker for the Patriots. "Josh came off a disappointing weekend at Journeyman Classic and rebounded with a very good performance today," Beasley said. "I love seeing his aggression from start to finish. He won the Hammer Award today for getting the fall for the team." "Neil continues to impress," said Beasley. "He has made enormous gains from last season and is getting better every match. He is putting himself in position to have an outstanding season. Neil put up bonus points for the team which was an important component of the win today." Mason won the first three bouts before Clarion returned the favor with three straight wins of their own. Kolby Ho, in a return to his hometown Dubois, started the match with a decision over Avery Shay, 9-5. "Like Josh, Kolby did not have the performance he wanted last weekend, but he put himself right back on track today," said Beasley. "Kolby is very good when he is offensive and that is exactly what we saw out of him in today's dual" After Schuster's win, Anthony Lombardo edged Max Wohlabaugh, 11-9. "Tony came off a very grueling weekend. Today, he showed poise and maturity making adjustments in order to come away with a dominate win," said coach Beasley. The Golden Eagles responded with three straight wins and a12-10 lead starting with a 3-2 decision by Luke Funck in the 184-pound bout. Two-time NCAA qualifier Greg Bulsak defeated Jeremy Seymour, earning six points. Ty Bagoly wrapped the three-match streak with a win over Jake Slinger in the heavyweight bout. The Patriots countered with wins at 125 and 133 pounds, beginning with a 6-3 Talha Farooq decision against Cameron Butler. Freshman Joshua Jones defeated Seth Koeno with a fall at 6:09. "Talha got taken down early in the match but continued to stick to his game plan," said Beasley. "He showed a lot of grit in a pivotal match." Clarion's Taylor Ortz gave the Eagles a chance with a 5-3 decision over Alex Madrigal. In the final match of the day, Brock Zacherl won the day's finale in a sudden-victory decision, but Mason's Colston DiBlasi kept him from bonus points and a possible tie. "Real development takes time," added Beasley. "I'm very proud of our team for the effort they displayed today, and it was a very solid performance. I think a big portion of the credit goes the assistant coaches on this staff who have helped develop the young men within our program."

AMES, Iowa -- The No 12 Iowa State wrestling team (1-0, 0-0 Big 12) topped Bucknell (0-2, 0-0 EIWA), 24-15 in the dual season-opener. The Cyclones won six of the 10 bouts and were aided by bonus-point victories from Jarrett Degen (major decision), David Carr (technical fall) and Marcus Coleman (fall). How It Happened Alex Mackall put the Cyclones on the board to open the dual with a 10-3 victory over Brandon Siedman. Mackall tallied four takedowns, including three in the first period, to improve his season record to 4-0. Iowa State separated themselves from the Bison when the Cardinal and Gold won three straight matches, two that were of bonus-point variety. Ian Parker spurred the Cyclone run with a 6-2 decision over Noah Levett. Parker racked up over three minutes of riding time in his 2019-20 season opener. At 149 pounds, Degen secured three third-period takedowns to separate himself from Matthew Kolonia. Degen gave up the first takedown of the match, but didn't surrender another in his 15-5 major decision over Kolonia. In what was a highly anticipated collegiate debut, Carr did not disappoint. The Junior World Champion jumped out to an 8-0 lead against Jaden Fisher in the first period with a takedown and a pair of turns. Carr showed that his freestyle prowess translated to folkstyle wrestling, turning Fisher a number of times and garnering nearly five minutes of riding time in an 18-3 technical fall victory. At 174 pounds, Coleman provided the highlight of the night for the Cyclones. Leading 3-0 in the second period, Coleman went to work on top after a takedown. Bucknell's Frankie Guida tried to roll through, but Coleman countered and pinned the Bison in 4:59. Sam Colbray iced the Cyclone victory away with a workmanlike 7-3 decision over Brandon Stokes. Colbray scored on two takedowns and did well on top, riding Stokes for 1:59 of the match. Next Up Iowa State will turn around and host Iowa next Sunday in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Dual. The Cyclones and Hawkeyes are set to wrestle at 2 p.m. in Hilton Coliseum. That dual will be available through Cyclones.tv and FloWrestling. Results: 125: Alex Mackall (ISU) dec.

FARGO, N.D. -- The No. 25 Purdue wrestling team improved to 3-1 in dual competition on the season Sunday, earning a 22-12 victory at North Dakota State at the Scheels Center. The Boilermakers won seven-of-10 matches on the day, highlighted by a major decision by junior Max Lyon at 184 pounds and a career achievement for classmate Devin Schroder at 125 pounds. "Today was a solid win," said Boilermaker head coach Tony Ersland. "Any time you take your team on the road and they pick up the win, it's a good thing. We had a few matches where we could've picked up bonus points and fell just short, but that's something we can learn from as we move forward." The Boilermakers won three straight to start the dual, which began at 141 pounds as North Dakota State won the draw coin flip and picked the starting weight. Sophomore Parker Filius used four first-period points to earn a 7-4 decision over fellow Montanan Sawyer Degan, and junior Griffin Parriott followed up for the Boilermakers with a 6-3 decision at 149 pounds. Freshman Kendall Coleman kept his hot start aflame, holding off a standout performance from NDSU freshman Jared Franek to secure an 8-6 win in sudden victory. NDSU got on the board at 165 pounds, but Purdue fired right back as senior Dylan Lydy sparked a run of three straight wins with a 13-6 decision at 174 over Austin Brenner. Lydy collected five takedowns in the win, pushing his career total to 211 and leaving him five shy of Nick Corpe for 20th place on Purdue's career leaderboard. Lyon was dominant at 184, posting five takedowns and piling up 5:55 of riding time in a 12-4 major decision over T.J. Pottinger. Lyon now has over 30 minutes of riding time through 10 matches this season. Freshman Thomas Penola completed the run at 197 pounds, needing extra time for a 6-4 win over senior Cordell Eaton. The two traded first-period takedowns and escapes, added an escape each in the second and third, but it was Penola who would finish on top, getting the final points in sudden victory to improve to 6-2. The Bison took two of the final three, getting a 9-6 decision at heavyweight and an 18-3 technical fall at 133 pounds, but Schroder snuck in some Boilermaker history in between, scoring an 11-4 decision over McGwire Midkiff at 125 pounds. After a takedown and rideout in the first, Schroder earned a quick reversal and tilt in the second to take an 8-0 lead and eclipse 300 career back points. He's just the fifth Boilermaker in program history to surpass the mark and pulls within two of Chris Fleeger on the Boilermakers career record list. The Boilermakers return home next weekend, hosting Indianapolis, Clarion and Northern Illinois for the Boilermaker Duals on Sunday, November 24, starting at 10 a.m. ET in Holloway Gymnasium.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Virginia Tech wrestling defeats third-ranked Ohio State Sunday in Columbus. The upset victory is already the second of the season for No. 11 Tech, first over a top-3 opponent. Joey Prata secured the win for the Hokies after a 5-2 decision over No. 20 Malik Heinselman to end the dual. Sunday was the second straight win for the Hokies when the dual came down to the last match. MATCH HIGHLIGHTS Collin Gerardi kick started the Hokies, claiming a 7-1 decision over No. 14 Quinn Kinner. Gerardi, ranked 13th in the country, landed a reversal and a four-point near-fall to give Tech a 3-0 lead. After Ohio State took a 4-3 lead, Brent Moore seized momentum back for the Hokies, pinning eighth-ranked Sammy Sasso in just 1:16. It was Moore's fastest fall of his career and gave Tech a 9-4 lead. No. 14 B.C. LaPrade then increased the Hokies' lead to eight points after defeating Elijah Cleary 3-1. LaPrade scored a takedown in the third period to take the lead and rode out the decision.

Hunter Bolen beat Zach Steiner 8-1 to extend Tech's lead to 11 and stay undefeated on the year. Bolen is ranked 11th in the country by Intermat and showed why with a flurry of takedowns to claim the decision. After a couple of Ohio State wins, Tech held on to an 18-15 lead going into the final match of the day. Joey Prata stepped up and defeated No. 20 Malik Heinselman 5-2 to secure the six-point victory for the Hokies. Prata is now 3-0 on the year.

USAFA, Colo. -- The Wyoming wrestling team opened up its 2019-20 dual season and Big 12 action Saturday night as the Cowboys rode a hot start on the way to a 21-12 victory over Air Force in Colorado Springs. The Pokes opened the dual winning the first four bouts and 5-of-6. UW had three bonus-point victories in those first four bouts. Starting at 174 pounds, No. 14 Hayden Hastings opened the night with a major decision victory over Cody Surratt, 9-1. Hastings jumped on Surratt early, gaining a first period takedown to take an early 2-0 lead into the second. After an escape from Surratt in the second, Hastings took control with two more takedowns in the period, followed by another in the third. Hastings also grabbed the Riding Time bonus in the win. At 184, No. 18 Tate Samuelson took care of Jake Thompson 5-1. The first two periods of the bout were pretty uneventful other than a penalty point in the second rewarded to Samuelson. Samuelson opened things up in the third with an escape, followed quickly with a takedown to go up 4-0. Thompson only scored on an escape late in the match and Samuelson was also rewarded a Riding Time point. Stephen Buchanan at 197 continued his impressive beginning to the season, winning 15-3 over Casey Jumps. After Jumps opened the contest with a takedown, Buchanan quickly went to work, making the score 2-1 with an escape before taking the lead for good with a takedown and led 3-2 heading into the second period. In that period, Buchanan took control with a four-point nearfall before busting the match wide open, scoring seven points in the final period, including the Riding Time bonus. With the win, Buchanan improves to 9-0 on the young season. At heavyweight, Brian Andrews grabbed Wyoming's third bonus-point victory, winning 12-1 over Kayne Hutchison. Andrews went to work early in his matchup, leading 6-1 at the end of the first period, thanks to a takedown and three-point nearfall. Andrews was workmanlike the rest of the match, grabbing a takedown in each of the second and third periods to go along with an escape and riding time. After a loss at 125, Montorie Bridges got the Cowboys back on track with a 3-2 win at 133 over Jared Van Vleet. After a scoreless first, Bridges' second period escape gave him a 1-0 lead. However, Bridges would give up an escape early in the third to make the bout 1-1 before a takedown reclaimed the lead, 3-1 and he was able to hold on from there after a Van Vleet escape. Leading 18-3 at that point, AFA got a win at 141 as Lenny Petersen defeated Chase Zollmann, 5-3 to make the dual 15-6. Jaron Jensen would get a big 6-4 win at 149 over AFA's Dylan Martinez. Jensen would win behind the strength of a first and third period takedown and a pair of escapes in the second period. Jensen's win would be the final of the evening for the Cowboys as the Falcons took decisions at both 157 and 165 pounds as Logan Jensen and Dewey Krueger, respectively, were defeated. The win marks the second consecutive season that the Pokes have won their season-opening dual. It also makes the Cowboys 12-0 all-time against the Falcons under Head Coach Mark Branch. UW will return to action Friday as it travels to face the fifth-ranked Huskers. Results: 174: No. 14 Hayden Hastings (WYO) MD Cody Surratt (AF) 9-1 184: No. 18 Tate Samuelson (WYO) dec.

NEW YORK -- It was standing room only in the sixth floor gymnasium of the New York Athletic Club for the men's freestyle finals at the Bill Farrell International, and the crowd standing was quite a large one. Only featuring the six Olympic weight classes, the brackets were stacked, and the finalists were some of the country's finest wrestlers. With five Olympic Team Trials spots on the line, everyone came ready to battle. Seth Gross started the finals off in impressive fashion, dominating Nathan Tomasello in an 11-1 technical fall victory. Gross, who wrestles collegiately at 133 pounds and has previously competed internationally at 61 kg, proved the additional weight cut would not be a factor. Throughout the match, Gross executed stellar shot defense, and despite getting to his legs, Tomasello was unable to finish. Gross controlled the hand fighting as well and took a 7-0 lead into the break on the strength of five step outs and a takedown. In the second period, Tomasello managed a step out, but Gross would put the match away with two more takedowns.

KENT, Ohio -- Michigan State wrestling opened the 2019-20 dual meet season with a pair of victories over Kent State and No. 20 Oklahoma on Saturday, Nov. 16 at Kent State's Tri-Meet inside the MAC Center. In a triangular scramble format, the Spartans rotated between two mats throughout the day against Kent State and Oklahoma. MSU, which ranks No. 29 in the latest team rankings, defeated the Sooners, 21-16, and followed with a dominating 36-6 win over the Golden Flashes. "Today was a complete team effort and we kept competing on each and every mat until the end," said fourth year Head Coach Roger Chandler. "The guys were always looking for bonus points and we only gave up a bonus point in one match today. More than half of our victories today were bonus points and that's a testament to our guys looking to put points on the board." MSU's win over Oklahoma is its first since Feb. 2, 2003 and the ninth time overall out of 48 meetings. Michigan State's win over No. 20 Oklahoma was the first over a top-25 team since 2013. Redshirt junior Christian Rebottaro cemented MSU's 21-16 win over Oklahoma in the final match of the day. Tied at one in late in the third period with Josiah Jones and with MSU leading 18-16 in the meet, Rebottaro scored a takedown in the final seconds to win 3-1 at 285 points. MSU was docked a team point for failure to control mat after the bout at 174 pounds. "We've been talking within our program about taking the next step forward," said Chandler. " Today was a big step in defeating a top-25 team and our guys are hungry and want to prove that they belong among the best teams in the country. Oklahoma is a traditionally nationally successful team every year, and our guys stepping up and going toe-to-toe with them is affirmation that they are doing the right things!" The Spartans are 2-0 to start the season for the second-straight year. MSU had five falls in its victory over Kent State. Redshirt senior Logan Griffin earned two big wins for the Green and White at 125 pounds, a fall over Earl Blake of Kent State at 6:26 and a 11-2 major decision win over Oklahoma's Tommy Hoskins. No. 17-ranked ranked Cameron Caffey, from Carbondale, Ill., sparked the Spartans with two pins at 184 pounds over Tyler Bates of Kent State 1:37 into the match and over Darrien Roberts of Oklahoma at the 4:57 mark. Redshirt junior Drew Hughes joined Caffey with two falls on the day at 165 pounds. Hughes dominated OU's Jose Lao Cooper with a pin at 1:07 in the first period and followed with a fall at the 2:29 mark over KSU's Kade Byland. Rebottaro improved to 2-0 with a fall at the 4:42 mark over Kent State's Spencer Berthold. The match of the day came at 141 pounds between MSU's Matt Santos and No. 2 Dom Demas of Oklahoma. Santos put up a fight with Demas as the two were tied at one after three periods. Demas recorded a takedown in sudden victory for the win. "This is a great start to the 2019-20 season and I'm excited for our guys," said Chandler. "We have to use this momentum and get better for the Navy Classic next week." MSU travels to Annapolis, Md. on Saturday, Nov. 23 for the Navy Classic. Air Force, American, Brown, Bucknell, Campbell, The Citadel, Cleveland State, Edinboro, George Mason, Kent State, Lock Haven, Michigan State, Navy, Ohio, Old Dominion, Oregon State, Rutgers and Virginia Tech are among the teams competing in the Navy Classic.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Competing in Staber Arena for the first time since 2016, No. 10 Lehigh went down to the wire with No. 4 Oklahoma State. A Cowboy forfeit in the final bout at 133 left the dual tied at 20-20, and on the third criteria, total match points, a 58-48 advantage gave the Mountain Hawks the 21-20 victory Saturday afternoon. Lehigh won three of the first five bouts, with a pair of major decisions, to build an 11-6 led at intermission. Oklahoma State got back in the dual with a fall at 184 and a major decision at 197 but the Cowboys did not have a 133 pounder available. When junior Brandon Paetzell kept fourth-ranked Nick Piccininni to a regular decision at 125, the forfeit allowed the Mountain Hawks to tie the dual and ultimately, win their dual opener on criteria. The win is just the second in program history over the Cowboys, who had won 10 of the previous 11 and are now 1-1 on the dual season. It is also Lehigh's fourth dual win over a top five-ranked team in 11-plus years under Pat Santoro. The dual began at 141 with senior Ryan Pomrinca taking on Dusty Hone. A late first period takedown was the difference as Pomrinca posted a 3-2 victory. Sixth-ranked Boo Lewallen put Oklahoma State on the board with a 4-0 decision over sophomore Jimmy Hoffman at 149. Sophomore Josh Humphreys got the Mountain Hawks, and the crowd going with a 16-2 major decision over Wyatt Sheets at 157. Humphreys scored two takedowns and added a pair of four point near falls to lead 12-1 after one period as he avenged a sudden victory loss to Sheets last February. Freshman Brian Meyer came up just short in his dual debut at 165, as he gave up a second period takedown that proved to be the difference in 3-2 decision for Travis Wittlake. Senior Jordan Kutler capped the first half of the dual with an impressive 20-6 major decision over Andrew Shomers at 174. Kutler racked up eight takedowns and came up just short of the technical fall. He had four takedowns in the first period and added one in the second and three more in the third. A wild bout at 184 turned momentum back in the Cowboys' favor as Anthony Montalvo pinned junior Chris Weiler in the third period. A late reversal and two point near fall had Weiler up 8-4 after one period, but Montalvo broke an 8-8 tie with a couple of takedowns in the final period before securing the fall. Dakota Geer extended the Cowboys' lead to 16-11 with a 15-5 major decision over Jake Jakobsen at 197. Geer led 3-0 after two periods and broke the match open with five takedowns in the final frame. Junior Jordan Wood put Lehigh back on track with a 9-4 decision over Austin Harris at 285. In the final contested bout, Piccininni built a 4-1 lead after two and was able to secure the 11-3 major decision with his takedown in the final seconds. Junior Nick Farro got his hand raised at 133, with Lehigh earning the extra team point on criteria. The Mountain Hawks will face two ranked foes next weekend, beginning with a trip to No. 16 Princeton on Saturday for a 5 p.m. match.

PHILADELPHIA -- Coach John Smith tied Bobby Douglas for fifth on the list of all-time NCAA Division I coaching wins on Friday night in Oklahoma State's 30-6 victory over Drexel. Smith is the only active NCAA DI coach in the top five. "Bobby Douglas was an Oklahoma State guy," Smith said. "That's special for me to reach that milestone. He was my coach at the '92 Olympics and has been a great mentor. I feel like I shouldn't be passing him, with what he's done for the sport and all the people he really made a difference for." Five of eight Cowboy wins came with bonus points, beginning with senior Nick Piccininni's 16-1 technical fall over Dante Mininno. Also collecting bonus-point wins for the Pokes were No. 5 Boo Lewallen, Wyatt Sheets, Anthony Montalvo and Dakota Geer. Lewallen wrestled his first complete match in more than a year and defeated Vincent Foggia, 10-2. Sheets and Montalvo had big third-period pushes to give them 10 and 11 point victories, respectively. Half of the wrestlers in Saturday night's lineup made their OSU dual debuts against the Dragons, and three came away with wins. The most notable victory was No. 20 Travis Wittlake's 5-1 decision over Drexel's 10th-ranked Ebed Jarrell. Dusty Hone won his first dual start, shutting out Tyler Williams, 6-1, and Anthony Montalvo scored a 14-3 major against Bryan McLaughlin. "I liked what (Travis) did," Smith said. "I think there are some things he can take from that match, but overall I thought his effort was good. It was a good win for his first dual meet. Anthony did a good job, too. He picked up some big takedowns in the third and seemed to be excited to be out there. You love to see that. It's fun for a coach to watch." Dakota Geer and Andrew Shomers bumped up weights to fill a couple of gaps in the Cowboy lineup. Shomers wrestled for the Cowboys at 174 pounds and won a hard-fought, 4-2, sudden victory bout against Michael O'Malley. Geer took out Owen Brooks, 16-7, with three third-period takedowns and more than two minutes of riding time. Oklahoma State is back in action tomorrow at No. 10 Lehigh beginning at 12 p.m. CST.
