sorenson up now-gotta have it and bonus...

 

[CYVADER]

wow. md for sorenson at the buzzer. 16-7 bsu

 

[CYVADER]

reader up 2-0 early, need at least another md here.

 

[fitzgev]

Dang, sounds like we need a huge upset at 184 now. I was hoping we could at least split 125 or 133. Although, it is great to see that Carr can compete with Chamberlain (if that is who he wrestled).

 

[CYVADER]

wow reader-4-1??? shafer pinned. 22-10 bsu

 

[LindenCy]

Ugh, that's pretty much it I assume.

 

[cloneswereall]

Well, that was a fun tournament.

 

[clone4good]

Im just wondering with this loss are we done? What did we place?

 

[CYVADER]

ward lost. gross. 25-10 bsu

 

[CYVADER]

no we will wrestle niu at 1 i think

 

[fitzgev]

BSU is definitely tough this year and with Smith returning to the lineup, it was going to be an upset for us to win this match.

They should be able to beat Northern Illinois in wrestlebacks.

 

[CycloneNorth]

Thanks for the updates, even though it was incredibly dissapointing.

 

[CYVADER]

upset to win no doubt, but i thought it might be closer then this. weatherman giving up the tech, jones giving up the major, reader only minoring his guy, that's 9 pt swing right there and the score would be a lot more repectable.

REader and WEatherman were the major disappointments for me.

 

[CYVADER]

ya if those go our way at all it is 20-14 right now.

 

[CYVADER]

and simonsen is going to win so it could have been 20-17. instead it's a **** pounding 25-13

 

[CYVADER]

well, we beat niu in football and mbb, lets get em in wrestling at 1.

 

[CYVADER]

if we beat niu, we will most likely face the loser of wisconsin and oregon state-wisconsin is ranked 3rd, osu is 6th. we would need to win that to finish in the top 8-which would actually be a solid finish for us this year whether some of you like it or not.

Ward losing is the big suprise to me for the first round. Glad Druin was able to tough out a win though, he's looking better and better as the season goes on.

I'd be totally happy with getting into the 7th place match today. Half of our line-up (125, 133, 149, 157, and 184) just aren't getting it done. I've got some hope at 149 and 184 that we might be able to make something happen before March, but we're still a tourney team this year, not a dual team.

Looking ahead to NIU:

The Minnesotta match this morning went as follows:

1/8/2011
Minnesota - 26
Northern Illinois - 9

125 Zachary Sanders (Minnesota) MD Nick Smith (Northern Illinois) 16 - 8
133 David Thorn (Minnesota) DEC Israel Montemayor (Northern Illinois) 10 - 7
141 Michael Thorn (Minnesota) DEC Tristen DeShazer (Northern Illinois) 8 - 1
149 Vince Castillo (Northern Illinois) DEC Patrick Smith (Minnesota) 4 - 0
157 Bryan Deutsch (Northern Illinois) FALL Joseph Grygelko (Minnesota) 1;42
165 Cody Yohn (Minnesota) DEC Matt Mougin (Northern Illinois) 9 - 2
174 Scott Glasser (Minnesota) MD Zach Benzio (Northern Illinois) 10 - 2
184 Kevin Steinhaus (Minnesota) DEC Brad Dieckhaus (Northern Illinois) 7 - 0
197 Joe Nord (Minnesota) DEC Mike Lukowski (Northern Illinois) 2 - 0
285 Anthony Nelson (Minnesota) DEC Dakota Greenhaw (Northern Illinois) 3 - 1



Looking at how we match up by weight, with the ISU wrestlers in bold:
(assuming similar lineup to our last dual)

They have nobody ranked so I'll just post records (Taking the records from the NCWA website) .

125 - Brandon Jones(6-8) vs Nick Smith (16-6)
133 - Ben Cash (6-7) vs Israel Montemayor (4-7)
141 - Chris Druin (10-4) vs Tristen DeShazer (10-5)
149 - Nate Carr (9-3) vs Vince Castillo (4-10)
157 - Trent Weatherman (9-5) vs Bryan Deutsch (13-6)
165 - Andrew Sorenson (5-1) vs Matt Mougin (6-8)
174 - Jon Reader (17-0) vs Zach Benzio (3-6)
184 - Cole Shafer (6-5) vs Brad Dieckhaus (7-5)
197 - Jerome Ward (9-2) vs Mike Lukowski (3-11)
285 - Kyle Simonson (15-4) vs Dakota Greenhaw (3-9)


Overall we're obviously the favorites, but I like to see that Cash, Weatherman, and Shafer all have very winnable individual matches. They need some confidence.
