Virginia Tech Preview and Predictions

[Judoka]

Sorenson up. Two likely AA's on the mat here.

 

[Judoka]

Sorenson up 5-0 after the first. Threw Yates to his back and then held him down for the entire period.

 

[Judoka]

Sorenson dominates the #7 ranked wrestler in the country 17-4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Andrew is a beast and he dominated from start to finish. Only black spot was giving up a reversal near the end to give up the tech fall.

Iowa State up 13-8 with 4 matches left.

 

[Judoka]

England loses 6-4. I expected better from him here.

Iowa State leads 13-11 with three matches left.

 

[Judoka]

Beard wins it 11-8. Also not a great match.

Iowa State leading 16-11 with 2 left.

 

[buf87]

I agree, these 2 guys need to sharpen up and work on conditioning

 

[Judoka]

Shafer gives up a TD with 1 second left to force overtime at 197. Then loses 6-4 in OT. Meet comes down to Heavyweight. I'm not impressed at 174/184/197 tonight.

Iowa State up 16-14.

 

[buf87]

Gibson up 5-0 with RT

 

[Judoka]

Gibson getting it done at Heavyweight, up 5-0 to start the first and almost had a pin.

 

[isucyclone05]

Sorensen should move up. Kokesch from Nebby got beat

 

[buf87]

7-0 after 1

 

[buf87]

Sorensen should move up. Kokesch from Nebby got beat

By Evans from Iowa??

 

[isucyclone05]

Yes. Evans seemed to control the match

 

[Judoka]

Gibson wins 11-1 at Heavyweight. Iowa State takes the day with a 20-14 win.

Way to go to the Cyclone Wrestlers. Great meet tonight (174-197 excepted).

 

[isucyclone05]

I tried to put the kokesch result on the live feed when it happened but it didn't get opted

 

[Judoka]

Iowa State wins against #15 Virginia Tech!!!

The Good: Sorenson dominated yet another top 10 wrestler. Andrew is the real deal and I expect him to be a high AA this year at the least. Possible finalist. I also can't give enough credit to Hallman, Swalla, and Moreno tonight. Only Moreno got the win but they all have continued to fight their ***** off and make me proud to be a Cyclone.

The bad: England, Beard, and Shafer. No excuses for two loses and a fairly close decision. I am very proud of 7 of our wrestlers tonight. Those three are the exceptions.

The ugly: Nothing tonight, those three were bad, but not horrible.

 

[CYVADER]

if meeks and mccauley pan out are we looking at 6 aa's n 2 years?

Iowa State wins against #15 Virginia Tech!!!

Wow, really???? Beard won and your criticizing him? England and Shafer fought hard and kept it close both with good matches. I see improvement with both and they never quit. Shafer went into OT, Kid never kept him down. GEEEEEZ.
Overall, conditioning of the team looked better in my opinion, big riding times decreased. Again, give these guys a break.....

Like I said. Bad, not ugly. None of those matches should have been that close and compared to the other 7 wrestlers they didn't embarrass but neither did they impress. If those guys want to win at nationals they will have to do much better. As a whole the team is vastly better than they were in November.
