Up 5-3 with riding time with a minute left and stalled it out. Nice deep double by Moreno in the second the highlight of the match. Also about 2 1/2 min of riding time.

Also, Sorenson just pulled off a suicide cradle. You don't see those too often in college.

Sorenson up 10-2 after the first period, almost got the pin with a cradle but didn't quite have the right angle.

Moreno was super gassed. Glad he was able to pull it out. Something to build on.

Sorenson is up by 14 points to start the 3rd and has RT, I'm guessing he'll take the whole two minutes to try to work a pin.

Explain that ending to me. Why didn't he keep riding? I loved the final TD though! Great explosive finish.

Final takedown made it 20-5. As soon as the wrestler gets the tech fall, the match is over.

No, I understand the rules haha. I don't understand why he didn't keep trying to turn him. With RT he had the tech fall.

RT isn't awarded until after the match. The takedown made it a tech fall, therefore, ending the match instantly.

Haha! My bad. Agreed, I thought he had position to finish it.

No worries :)

I did enjoy the way he got that last takedown though. Too often you see guys messing around with the sweep. He had the position and exploded. I like that mindset.

Yes, but there is no benefit to getting the tech fall before the 7:00 minute mark. My feed keep on randomly freezing so I didn't see why he cut him. Did he get in an uncomfortable position and just let him go rather than get reversed or something?

Beard win it, 10-5. Iowa State leading the team score 25-7. Arizona State can't win at this point.

Congrats to the team on their first dual win!
