Nick wins his 2nd match with a fall over Austin Gomez.
Lee with a takedown and two exposures on a gut to take a 6-0 lead. Gomez comes back with an exposure off a head pinch and gets a step out. Lee had it and got a little sloppy the last foot as he was walking him out and Gomez ends up getting the point, holding a toe in as they both went out. Lee 6-3 at the break.
In the 2nd, Gomez tried to work his usual Greco style throws 3x. Twice, both wrestlers went to the mat, yet neither scored and the 3rd time, Nick got the best of it, controlled Gomez on the way down and took him straight to his back, where he got the fall.
Lee now faces Jalolov of Uzbekistan in the 1/8 Round. Jalolov finished 1st at 2018 & 2019 Cadet Worlds and 2022 U20 Worlds.
