Very interesting....1 of them bumping to 174 or is that Willie Scott

Have to think if match is in the balance at 285, RU will look for Correnti to beat the IU wrestler like the past season.

Also,just noted Turley has pinned the IU wrestler earlier in the season

Just saw on Twitter we are starting at 125.....Hopefully that means we will have match in hand by 285 and give Esposito a match!
 
Things are getting underway at the RAC, as Nic Aguilar takes the mat to kick things off at 125-lbs. He will take on Indiana's Liam Cronin.

Not a lot of offense in the first. Aguilar commits to a leg attack late in the period, but Cronin scrambles long enough for time to expire. 0-0 first period.

Aguilar starting the second on bottom
 
Aguilar gets to his feet, and Cronin drops to a single. Aguilar cannot break free, but does get Cronin banged for a stalling warning.
 
Aguilar, after being returned several times, gets to his feet and escapes after about 55 seconds. 1-0 with a little under a minute left in the period.
 
Period ends on the feet, Aguilar leading 1-0.

Cronin chooses defense to start the third
 
Aguilar gets a little high and is shucked off by Cronin. We're tied at 1, with 1:13 left in the match
 
Takedown on the edge by Cronin, he now leads 3-1. 50 seconds left as they go out of bounds
 
Aguilar gets free with 15 seconds left, but Cronin locks up RT. Aguilar shoots Cronin out of bounds and gets a stall point. However, he is unable to get the takedown to tie the match. Cronin wins 4-2.

Indiana leads 3-0
 
Rooks in on Alvarez's legs, and after some scrambling, secures the takedown. He leads 2-0 with 55 seconds left in the period.
 
Indiana threw a challenge brick before Rooks was awarded two. Goodale saying they have to use that challenge, but because Rooks eventually got the takedown, I don't believe there is much to look at.
 
Indiana does in fact lose that challenge. Action resuming with Alvarez on bottom at 31 seconds left in the first.
 
Alvarez turns a switch into a single, and gets Rooks to the mat for a reversal. The period ends with Alvarez on top, and the score tied at two.

Rutgers chooses defense to start the second.
 
Rooks back in on a shot, and finishes. He takes a 4-3 lead with 1:05 left in the second
 
Alvarez switches Rooks once again, and retakes the lead, 5-4 with 33 seconds left in the period
 
Alvarez keeps Rooks down the rest of the period, and carries a 5-4 lead into the third period. RT not a factor at the moment.

Rooks will start the third on the feet.
 
Alvarez gets a single, and finishes on the mat. He then rolls Rooks over in a cradle for four back points! 11-4 Sammy with the cradle still locked. 50 seconds left in the match.
 
Alvarez with another takedown after a Rooks escape. He widens the gap to 14-5, and that is how it will finish.

Rutgers takes the lead 4-3
