Hawkeyes Finish Strong, Dominate Iowa State
Second-ranked Iowa wins 12th in a row against Iowa State, 33-6,
AMES, Iowa — The second-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team defeated No. 17 Iowa State, 33-6, on Sunday afternoon at Hilton Coliseum in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series.
The Hawkeyes dominated the top position and overcame a slow start to win for the 12th consecutive time in the series and retain possession of the Dan Gable Traveling Trophy.
The Hawkeyes dominated the home team in the final five bouts, scoring 26 of the final 28 takedowns and closing the dual with five straight wins, including two major decisions and two falls.
Sammy Brooks built a 22-8 lead before turning Dane Pestano at 6:45 for his third fall of the season at 184, and Sam Stoll made his Cy-Hawk debut with a pin in 3:30 against Quean Smith at 285.
Nathan Burak totaled nine takedowns in his 22-8 dismantling of Duke Egli at 197, and Thomas Gilman, typically Iowa’s leadoff man, closed the dual with a 12-3 major decision against Kyle Larson at 125.
That action happened on the heels of a first half that saw Iowa State hold an 8-5 advantage in takedowns. UI head coach Tom Brands said there were no philosophical changes made at the break, but rather the usual narrative.
“You get to the first takedown and you get to the point where your third period is stronger quicker,” Brands said. “That’s where you really start to control matches. We have to use the first period and a good philosophy there is when a guy’s done with the first period he feels like he’s been through an entire match, and that doesn’t happen by just going through the first period.
“You have to work hard and it’s not easy to do. There’s no shortcut to get to guys in the first period. You have to realize it’s hard work and you have to buy into it. The other thing is you don’t stay stagnant either, so you have to give these guys some credit.”
The Hawkeyes wrestled 19 minutes before scoring their first takedown. The dual was tied 3-3 when Brandon Sorensen got to the legs of 15th-ranked Gabe Moreno in the third period at 149. Sorensen piled on three takedowns in the final 1:24 and used two nearfall points to win, 11-3.
It was Iowa’s second of three wins against top 20 wrestlers. Fourth-ranked Alex Meyer scored a pair of takedowns and rode No. 13 Lelund Weatherspoon for three and one-half minutes to win 7-1 at 174, and second-ranked Cory Clark opened the dual with a 9-2 win against No. 7 Earl Hall at 133.
It was Clark’s fifth win in five career meetings with Hall, and this one came without a takedown. Clark trailed 2-0 in the opening minute before scoring the final nine points with a pair of escapes and six nearfall points.
“You have to realize that this is a style that we’re going to see a lot,” said Brands. “Guys are holding points and working hard to stay in the center of the mat, so it’s not something where you can go out there and let your opponent dictate the pace. That was an issue.”
Iowa led 10-6 at intermission behind Clark, Sorensen, and Edwin Cooper, Jr.’s 6-2 win at 157. Iowa State’s only victories were decisions at 141 and 165. Logan Ryan lost 6-1 to Dante Rodriguez, and Patrick Rhoads fell 10-9 to No. 11 Tanner Weatherman at 165.
“It seems like the theme here is we were slow starters for the first five weights, but give these guys credit for outscoring heavy in the third period,” Brands said. “We want to own the third period. We want to own the second period. We want to own the first period. We’re greedy.”
The Hawkeyes return to the mat Friday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. (CT) when South Dakota State visits Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Tickets are available at the UI Athletics Tickets over the phone at 800-IA-HAWKS or online at hawkeyesports.com.
NOTES: Attendance was 5,612… Iowa retains possession of the Dan Gable Trophy… the Hawkeyes have won 12 straight in the series, including the last six meetings since the inception of the traveling trophy… Tom Brands is 11-0 against the Cyclones… Iowa owns a 9-4 advantage in the 2015-16 Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series.

Cowboys Hang on to Edge Gophers, 20-17
With Minnesota and Oklahoma State splitting 10 matches, bonus points made the difference in Sunday’s result
The 21st-ranked Gophers headed to Stillwater this weekend, where No. 3 Oklahoma State waited at Gallagher-Iba Arena to renew what has become one of the nation’s most-celebrated non-conference wrestling rivalries. Minnesota looked tough against the favored Cowboys on Sunday, splitting the meet’s 10 matches and scoring consecutive upsets at 149 and 157 pounds, but bonus points in back-to-back bouts later in the dual made the difference as OSU held on to defeat Minnesota, 20-17. The Gophers are now 4-4 after wrestling a program-record eight duals this November.
The Gophers built a 10-6 lead midway through the dual, powered by a major decision from Sam Brancale at 133 pounds and consecutive upsets from Jake Short and Brandon Kingsley. Short’s 2-1 victory over No. 8 Anthony Collica and Kingsley’s 3-2 decision over No. 14 Chance Marstellar were the first victories over ranked opponents for both wrestlers this season.
In Short’s case, Sunday’s win also marked his first dual match of the season after missing several weeks with an injury suffered at the season-opening Daktronics Open. Coincidentally, injuries played a role in his match with Collica on Sunday. With the score tied at one and less than 30 seconds remaining, Collica had to request injury time for what appeared to be an ankle issue. Following that timeout, Short was awarded his choice of position, giving him the opportunity to score a late escape and take the match.
Following those upsets, Oklahoma State sent its two highest-ranked wrestlers to compete in the next two matches, and both backed up their national rankings with strong performances. First, two-time defending NCAA champion and the nation’s top-ranked 165-pounder, Alex Dieringer, defeated Brandon Krone by technical fall. It was a tough draw for Krone, who was making his career dual debut on Sunday afternoon, becoming the sixth Gopher to do so in the team’s first eight duals this season. In the next contest, No. 3 Kyle Crutchmer turned a big lateral drop into a pin against Jordon Rothers in the closing seconds of the first period. Those results, and the five combined bonus points they produced, turned a 10-6 Gopher lead into a 17-10 deficit, a gap that ultimately proved too much to overcome.
Following a 4-1 decision for Nolan Boyd over Chris Pfarr at 184, which gave the Pokes a 20-10 lead, No. 6 Brett Pfarr and No. 9 Michael Kroells earned a major decision and a decision, respectively, taking a significant bite out of the OK State lead but leaving the Gophers a few points short of the victory.
Kroells was scheduled to take part in one of the afternoon’s two headline matches against No. 4 Austin Marsden but, following a flagrant misconduct call during Oklahoma State’s dual on Friday night, Marsden was ineligible for Sunday’s dual. Kroells instead wrestled Austin Schafer and took a 7-3 decision.
The other premier match went on as scheduled, with No. 9 Tommy Thorn challenging No. 1 Dean Heil at 141. Thorn wrestled tough against Heil, but dropped his third match of the season, a 7-3 decision. All three of Thorn’s losses have come by decision against opponents ranked in the top-five nationally.
Sunday’s defeat snapped the Gophers’ three-match winning streak in their series against the Cowboys, though Minnesota has still won four of the last six. Sunday was also the first time Oklahoma State knocked off Minnesota in Stillwater since the 2011-12 season. The three-point margin made the dual the third straight between the two teams settled by four points or fewer.
Minnesota will take a brief break from its dual schedule this week to defend its title against a nationally elite field at the Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas, Nev. The two-day tournament will begin this Friday and wrap up on Saturday.

Wrestling Defeats No. 20 Northwestern, Falls to No. 12 Illinois at Grapple at the Garden
NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Drexel wrestling team earned its first win over a nationally ranked team this season as it defeated No. 20 Northwestern by criteria, 21-20. Matthew Cimato was awarded Outstanding Wrestler honors after he defeated both the top-ranked 149 pounder in the country in Jason Tsirtsis of Northwestern and No. 19 Kyle Langenderfer of Illinois. Drexel edged the Wildcats in its first dual of the day at the fourth-annual Grapple at the Garden before losing its second matchup to No. 12 Illinois by a margin of 31-9.
With his wins, Cimato improved his individual record to a team-leading 16-2. The redshirt junior has five technical falls, three major decisions and one pin thus far on the season and is a perfect 7-0 in dual meet competition.
Zack Fuentes got things started off for the Dragons against Northwestern with a 4-3 decision over Garrison White. In the 133 match, the Wildcats tied things up as Dominick Malone defeated David Pearce, 10-3. Then at 141, Northwestern’s Jameson Oster earned a pin over Kevin Devoy Jr. to put the Wildcats ahead, 9-3.
Cimato, who was ranked 15th in the nation coming into Sunday’s competition, upset the top-ranked Tsirtsis who was the NCAA Champion at 149 pounds two years ago. Cimato earned a 7-1 victory over the two-time All-American to cut Northwestern’s lead to 9-6. The Wildcats would pull away again, though, as they won the next three consecutive matches to go ahead, 20-6 with only three matches remaining.
The Dragons, however, began to stage a comeback as Stephen Loiseau earned a technical fall over Regis Durbin at 184. Nezar Haddad won by forfeit at 197 to bring Drexel within three points again, 20-17, which left it up to Joey Goodhart to tie things up in the heavyweight match. Goodhart went on to win by a 4-1 decision to knot the team score up at 20-20 and Drexel ultimately was awarded the victory as they won by criteria on the basis of having the most bout points.
In the Dragons’ second dual of the day, Fuentes again started Drexel off with a win in the 125 match but then Illinois’ No. 11 Zane Richards earned a major decision over David Pearce at 133 to put the Fighting Illini ahead, 4-3. A technical fall from Brock Ervin at 141 increased Illinois’ lead to 9-3, but then Cimato’s second win of the day cut the Fighting Illini’s lead to just three points.
Illinois would begin to pull away starting with the 157 match, in which the top-ranked Isaiah Martinez defeated Michael Comunale by fall and then added to its lead at 165 as No. 16 Steven Rodrigues earned a major decision over Austin Rose. Nick Elmer added to Drexel’s points with a 7-3 win over Emory Parker at 174, but then an injury default from Loiseau at 184 would halt any chance Drexel had of staging another comeback. Illinois earned decisions in the final two matches to secure a 31-9 victory.
The Dragons, who move to 3-4 in dual meets, return to action on Dec. 5 when they will travel to College Park to face Maryland at 5 p.m. in Drexel’s final competition of the 2015 calendar year.

No. 14 WRES Takes Down No. 7 Cornell, 21-13
Scarlet Knights go 2-0 at 2015 “Grapple at the Garden”
NEW YORK, N.Y. (Nov. 29, 2015) – The score clock showed a two-point deficit entering the final period at 125 pounds as redshirt sophomore Sean McCabe (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) took his place in the defensive position.
Two minutes and two takedowns later, McCabe had his hand raised in an upset win against No. 18 Dalton Macri, and by dual’s end the Scarlet Knights had another ranked win, this one over No. 7 Cornell, 21-13, to close the 2015 “Grapple at the Garden.”
Rutgers (9-1) took six of 10 bouts from the Big Red (1-2) for their first win over Cornell since Jan. 31, 1998.
“Duals are important to me and duals are important to this staff,” said head coach Scott Goodale. “We want to wrestle the best teams, we want to go to different environments, and we want to wrestle programs like Cornell. It’s important to wrestle these big matches. There’s a long way to go, we’ve just got to keep getting better.”
Cornell scored victories from its ranked wrestlers at 133, 174, and 184 pounds after dropping the 125-pound match. No. 4 Nahshon Garrrett won a 6-1 decision over No. 17 Anthony Giraldo (Guttenberg, N.J.), No. 2 Brian Realbuto topped Phillip Bakuckas (Hammonton, N.J.), 6-1, and No. 1 Gabe Dean outlasted Nicholas Gravina (Allendale, N.J.) for a key 13-5 major decision.
But the rest of the RU lineup picked up the slack, beginning with No. 3 Anthony Ashnault (South Plainfield, N.J.) at 141 pounds. Already with an 8-2 lead entering the third, Ashnault finished his day with his second fall in 5:14 against Dylan Realbuto.
Tyson Dippery (Harrisburg, Pa.) secured a crucial decision at 149 pounds by escaping the grasp of Joseph Galasso in the third period and hanging on for a 5-4 win. Dippery improved to 7-3 this season.
A loss at 157 pounds to John Van Brill (Mullica Hill, N.J.) cut the RU lead to 12-6, turning the attention to a ranked showdown at 165 pounds.
Once again, No. 9 Anthony Perrotti (Roseland, N.J.) made his presence felt. His 6-2 decision against No. 10 Duke Pickett improves his resume to 3-1 against ranked opposition this season, and bumps his record to 8-1 overall.
Wins by Cornell in the next two bouts shifted the pressure back to RU’s side of the mat, making the team score 15-13 with two matches to go.
Hayden Hrymack (Point Pleasant, N.J.) answered the bell, grinding out a 10-7 decision at 197 pounds to all but seal the dual. With an 8-4 lead entering the third, Hrymack succumbed to an escape and takedown to cut his lead to 8-7 in a hurry.
But Hrymack (7-3) stayed composed and escaped Scott’s grasp, securing riding time for the three point win.
With Cornell needing a fall at heavyweight to win the dual due to Ashnault’s pin earlier in the match, RU’s Billy Smith (Wantage, N.J.) left no doubt the Scarlet Knights would prevail.
Smith (8-2) coasted to an 8-1 decision against Jeramy Sweany, giving Rutgers its first top-10 win and fourth overall against ranked opposition this season.
“It validates what we’re doing is right” Goodale said. “The way we’re training, the way these guys are buying in, the way these guys believe – it validates all of that. But it doesn’t mean anything unless we go to Iowa City and wrestle well. So we’ve got to keep working, keep knocking off ranked opponents, and that’s what it’s all about for us.”
In the first match of the day against George Mason, Rutgers used nine bonus-point victories in a 47-0 performance under the MSG lights.
McCabe (6-3), Ashnault (9-0), and Gravina (7-2) won by fall in their matches against the Patriots, with Giraldo (7-3) and Dippery winning by tech fall. Van Brill (6-4), Perrotti, Bakuckas (5-3), and Smith all secured major decisions.
The “Grapple at the Garden” sweep sets up a Big Ten showdown at No. 2 (6-0) Iowa in Iowa City on Dec. 10. The Scarlet Knights open up their home Big Ten schedule with a 1 p.m. match on Sunday, Dec. 12 against No. 5 Nebraska (6-0) at the RAC.

Terps Push Past Hofstra in NYC
Hodges picks up two victories at Grapple at the Garden
NEW YORK CITY – Redshirt senior Lou Mascola and freshman Wade Hodges earned back-to-back wins to lead the Maryland wrestling team past Hofstra, 24-13, at the Grapple at the Garden in Madison Square Garden Sunday afternoon.
The Terrapins (2-4, 0-1 Big Ten) finished the day on a high note with a comfortable win over the Pride. Hodges also won his match against Illinois lead Maryland.
Sophomore Jhared Simmons gave the Terps a 3-0 lead after a decision win at 125 pounds over Bryan Damon. After a scoreless opening period, Simmons easily reversed to nab a 2-0 lead in the second. A takedown in the final period punctuated a 5-0 win.
Hodges put together a spectacular performance that ended with a pin in the opening period. After controlling the action and securing a quick takedown, Hodges expertly turned Ryan Burkert on his back for the fall at 2:25.
At 157 pounds, Mascola started strong against Jahlani Callender, taking a 6-3 lead into the final period before holding on for an 8-6 win. Freshman Brendan Burnham put together another solid showing at 165, defeating Bobby Fehr, 4-2.
Redshirt freshman Garrett Wesneski used an escape in the third period to give Maryland a 24-9 lead after nine matches. The Terrapins also picked up a forfeit at 133 pounds while Alfred Bannister dropped a razor thin decision at 141 pounds to No. 16 Jamel Hudson.
Maryland faced Illinois in its first dual of the day and fell, 34-9. Hodges and fellow true freshman Jaron Smith picked up the victories for the Terps.
Simmons started the contest and fell 8-6 after a late takedown from Francis Edelen. Bannister dropped a close 3-2 decision to Brock Ervin in a match that saw the redshirt freshman control most of the action on the feet.
Hodges got the Terps on the board against No. 19 Kyle Langenderfer. After an uneventful first period, Hodges started the second period on top and built up 1:50 of riding time, while also earning a stall point. Hodges escaped at the beginning of the third period and stayed on his feet till the finish to earn the riding time point and the match, 3-1.
Smith made his dual-match debut at 184 pounds and stunned No. 18 Jeff Koepke with a pin in the second period. After a competitive opening frame, Smith took advantage of a Koepke mistake and turned it into a flash pin at 3:22.
Freshman Youssif Hemida also made his debut at heavyweight and wrestled well in a 6-1 loss to No. 14 Brooks Black.

NU WRESTLING: Northwestern Splits Pair of Matches at Grapple at the Garden
NEW YORK CITY – Northwestern wrestling opened up the 2015-16 dual season by splitting a pair of matches at the fourth annual Grapple at the Garden in New York City on Sunday.
The Wildcats beat Franklin & Marshall in the second dual of the day by a 30-18 score with pins by Dominick Malone, Bryce Brill and Luke Norland. Garrison White, Mitch Sliga and Regis Durbin were also winners in the dual for Northwestern.
“The guys showed a lot of promise,” interim head coach Matt Storniolo said. “It was nice seeing a few guys go 2-0. We learned a lot about our team today and will be better in the long run for competing in this event.”
Brill was nothing short of dominant on Sunday, also picking up a tech fall in the first match of the day to go with his pin. He won by fall over Andy Francos in just 50 seconds. Brill started the day with an 18-2 tech fall of Drexel’s Richard Viruet.
Luke Norland won the first two matches of his Northwestern career, coming from behind to win in each. In his first match against Drexel’s Austin Rose, Norland trailed 6-1 but fought all the way back to win an 8-6 decision in sudden victory. He erased a 4-2 deficit vs. Gordon Bolig of Franklin and Marshall and won by fall to help put the Wildcats securely ahead in the dual.
“Winning my first two matches representing Northwestern in a world renowned arena was awesome,” Norland said. “It was a fantastic beginning to my career, but I know I have a lot of room where I can and will improve.”
Malone was also undefeated on Sunday, winning by fall against Franklin and Marshall’s Scott Stevens in just 56 seconds a match after a convincing 10-3 win over David Pearce of Drexel.
Northwestern dropped the first dual of the day to Drexel after a 20-20 tie left the decision up to criteria. The officials had to go deep into the tiebreak scenarios to pick a winner, ultimately giving the Dragons the victory based on a 46-44 advantage on individual match points.
Chicago’s Big Ten Team is right back out to the east coast next weekend with matches at Princeton and Rider on Dec. 5. The Wildcats wrestle Princeton at 10 a.m. and Rider at 2 p.m.
