Penn State @ Iowa
125 - Former State Champ from Penn HS, Drew Hildebrandt starts off the dual with a 9-0 Major over Jesse Ybarra. Hildebrandt got a 4 pt NF as time expired in the 3rd to give him the major. Nice win for Drew!
133 - RBY gets a tough 3-2 win over DeSanto. AD was the aggressor the whole match and took shot after shot, but RBY stuffed them all. RBY did give up a stalling point, as he didn't even try to score until the middle of the 2nd period.
141 - Nick Lee wins another classic against Jaydin Eierman! Lee had a 4-2 lead with 1:11 in riding time and gave up a take down with :12 left to erase riding time and take the match to sudden victory. Eierman was sucking wind as they began SV. He took a shot quickly and Nick stuffed it with heavy hips, pushed down on the head and spun behind for a take down and the win, quieting 15k fans in Carver-Hawkeye. Note: Lee's 1st take down after Eierman hit a throw straight to the back, but Nick rolled thru for no score. Eierman then tried to roll Nick with a chest wrap and Lee fought it off, spun through and got the takedown. JE threw everything he had, but Nick had answers. PSU 10-0 at this point.
149 - Iowa bounces back as Max Murin gets a 4-1 decision over Beau Bartlett.
157 - Kaleb Young for Iowa wins as expected. PSU's Terrell Barraclough held him to a 2-0 decision, which basically equates to a win for the Nittany Lions.
165 - Alex Marinelli was dominant with a 10-2 Major over Brady Berge. Marinelli pushed him around the whole match and Berge was completely gassed at the end. 10-10 after 6 matches
174 - Lots of intense, close matches! Carter Starocci pulls out a 2-1 TB-1 win over Michael Kemerer. Both were close to takedowns along the way, but Starocci outlasted him,
184 - A solid, controlling 8-3 win for Aaron Brooks over Abe Assad
197 - Another battle! Max Dean gets another crazy win. Down 3-0 in the 3rd, Dean escapes and gets a takedown to tie it up. Then works the bow and arrow in the last :30 to get 4 NF points as time clicked away. Add a riding time point and Dean has an 8-3 decision over Jacob Warner. 19-10 PSU and the Dual is locked up.
285 - Tony Cassioppi wins 7-2 over Greg Kerkvliet. Kerk tried to throw him twice and it didn't work either time. PSU wins 19-13
