**Wyoming Dual in Hilton on Saturday @7:00PM

[Judoka]

Here's a preview/prediction

 

[matclone]

No Gomez at UNI. No Diblasi either - wonder if that means he's at 165 tonight.

According to the ISU Mat Notes, DiBlasi is at 165, and Strickland at 174.

Looks like they updated it yesterday. The initial release had Breitenbach or St. John at 165. Thanks for the heads up

 

[Judoka]

Allison opens up the meet with a 2nd period pin! He almost got pinned himself at the start of the match but he fought out of it, got back in the lead before the 1st was over, and then in the second he got turn for the win. That's awesome for a guy who was part of the wrestling club not that long ago.

ISU up 6-0 after the first match.

 

[Judoka]

 

[Judoka]

Parker goes down 3-4 at 133. ISU leads 6-3 after 2 matches.

 

[Judoka]

And Storr gets pinned again by Meredith. ISU is now down 6-9 after 141.

 

[Judoka]

Degen with a 7-3 win at 149 to tie it up 9-9 after 149.

 

[Judoka]

Straw knocks off Colgan 4-3! ISU leads 12-9 at the halfway point.

He's been close to getting ranked wins multiple times this season and he finally got one.

 

[isuno1fan]

Good meet so far. Thought Degen looked like the far superior wrestler in his match. Maybe should’ve had a shot for a major there. Not complaining though. Hoping we can finish strong.

 

[Judoka]

Colston goes down 1-9 while wrestling up against Wyoming's last ranked wrestler. ISU now trails 12-13 with four matches left.

 

[Boxer007]

What was the 165 ranked? How did Meridith pin Storr?

 

[Judoka]

Ref makes a pretty bizarre stalling call and ISU loses a team point after Dresser yells at him about it.

 

[isuno1fan]

That team point was BS

 

[Judoka]

Strickland goes down by tech fall. ISU now trails 11-18. That deduction doesn't really matter. Either we win all three and win the dual or we don't and Wyoming wins.

 

[Judoka]

What was the 165 ranked? How did Meridith pin Storr?

Aywhere from 12th to 19th depending on which site you look at.

 

[Judoka]

I missed the pin but I think it was from the same bar arm sequence that he pinned Storr with last week.

 

[Boxer007]

Dane missed an opportunity towards the end of the 2nd period. He just forces the stalling call. Was putting together some good sequences and then kimd I’d shut it down.

 

[Boxer007]

Dane goes down 6-5. That was hard to watch. He should have won that match.

 

[Judoka]

Dane goes down by.. I'm not totally sure of the score but it was either a 1 or 2 point loss... at 184. ISU trails 11-21 with two matches left. We probably aren't going to get this one.
