Warren jumped ahead 9-0 following the first period with a takedown and seven near-fall points. He then quickly recorded a reversal and two more near-falls to notch a 16-0 tech fall in the second period. Warren ran a very effective tilt to earn the majority of his back points.

 

141 LBS. -- r-Freshman Danny Monaco vs. r-Freshman Nick Viterisi

After a scoreless opening period, Viterisi took a 1-0 advantage with an escape from his starting bottom position. Monaco quickly matched his escape in the final period before posting the only takedown of the match and going ahead 3-1. Viterisi would escapedonce again but fail to take down Monaco, dropping the match, 3-2.

 

133 LBS. -- r-Sophomore Matt Ortega vs. r-Freshman Geno Capezio

Ortega tallied three takedowns in this contest, one in each period. He also added an escape while Capezio failed to score any offensive points. In the end it was Ortega coming out on top, 7-5.

 

174 LBS. -- r-Senior Trevor Perry vs. Freshman Bryce Grimes

Perry controlled the pace from the get-go against Grimes, taking him down twice in the first period and five times for the match. Add-in an escape and riding time point for Perry, leading to a 12-3 victory for the three-time NCAA Qualifier.

 

165 LBS. -- r-Junior Paul Young vs. Freshman Ryan LeBlanc

LeBlanc gave Young all he could handle in the 165-pound bout. LeBlanc, a top-50 recruit nationally, was the first to light the scoreboard with a first-period takedown on the edge of the mat. Young escaped from LeBlanc's grasp and tallied a takedown of his own, however, before the period came to an end. The two then exchanged escapes in the final two periods, resulting in a 4-3 winner for Young.

 

HEAVYWEIGHT -- Senior Nate Everhart vs. Senior Justin Kuhn

Everhart owned a 3-0 edge after two periods. Kuhn chose to start down in the final period and escaped after a long ride by the two-time NCAA Qualifier. Everhart then regained the top position once again and rode Kuhn out for the remainder of the period, grabbing a riding time point as well as the 6-1 win.

 

125 LBS. -- r-Senior Angel Escobedo vs. Freshman Justin Brooks

It was a slow start for the 2008 national champion, taking a 2-0 lead into the second period. He then turned on the jets in period number two, increasing his lead to 10-4. Escobedo continued to add to his lead in the third period, completing the major decision, 15-6

 

157 LBS. -- r-Junior Kurt Kinser vs. r-Senior Matt Coughlin

The marquee contest of the night, matching-up a pair of two-time NCAA qualifiers, began with a stalemate in the 0-0 opening period. The outcome remained very uncertain heading into the third period as Kinser held just a 1-0 advantage. He finally pulled away in the third period, however, snagging a couple of takedowns en route to a 7-1 triumph.

Regardless of the final score, 125# would have been a fun match to watch.

sad to see Coughlin lose, wonder what weight he will go?

 

Leblanc seems like the real deal, giving Young all he can handle

 

Brooks should improve dramatically by getting beat on by Angel all year
