Angelo escapes, closing the gap a little bit. 5-1 Storr with 40 left in the second

 

[SCNJ]

Trying lateral drops with 5 seconds left in the first period. What on earth was that

 

[wngarbarini]

We have to ride better on top

 

[Lex Knapp]

Angelo attempts a lat-drop, but ends up on his back. Two takedown, two backs, for Storr. Storr now leading 9-1.

Angelo takes bottom to start the third period.

 

[R U Crazy]

Ahhh....TY , i was worried he was Michigan...

I have Drew Hughes syndrome (Recovering from Alfred Bannister Syndrome)

 

[RUCreedo]

What are the moms and daughters at Michigan competing for hairstyles or something?? Geesh.. it's like all the clowns at the Villanova basketball games, with their size 1 to 3 wives

 

[Lex Knapp]

Angelo mat-returned by Storr, and lands on his hhead. Looks like Angelo his holding his ribs.

 

[wngarbarini]

This is not going to be pretty the rest of the day. Michigan is physical and more fired up

 

[JudgeSmails56]

This sucks. We seem soft.

 

[RU Diesel07110]

That was ugly

 

[Lex Knapp]

Angelo up to his feet, and he will continue. Storr gets an escape, then a take, and Storr gets the technical-fall.

Michigan now leads 12-3

 

[MS-RU]

I'm sorry but our strength and conditioning program really needs to be called into question at this point. A lot of guys on this team look extremely sluggish, have issues going the full 7 mins, and are constantly getting outmuscled/overpowered. We are super soft and that's a red flag.

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Come on MVB

 

[Lex Knapp]

Mike Van Brill coming out to wrestle No. 8 Will Lewan

 

[tfio]

Didn't know if I was wrong in thinking it but since 2 other people just said it too...we are just flat out soft right now compared to too many other teams

i kinda have to agree with you......slow, and not hungry enough.......plus were always getting out wrestled....never get the 1st take down

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Nobody clears their feet to finish takedowns.

 

[nikoru09]

as soon as i say that van brill gets a td,,,,good job

 

[Lex Knapp]

MVB with a takedown on a merkel grip, but Lewan is quickly out. 2-1 Van Brill

 

[Leonard23]

I think they said by the time he had the cradle they were out of bounds.

He was in. Bad call IMO

Mattin awarded two for the take, and four for backs, off of my least favorite rule in the world - danger call.

How wasn't that an illegal head scissors? All 6 should've been reversed. How can you be in the danger when the other guy has an illegal move?

 

[R U Crazy]

MVB Loves the Angela Merkel move

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Stall call coming

 

[Lex Knapp]

No score the rest of the period. Van Brill still leading 2-1, as action heads into the second period.

Lewan starts on bottom and gets a fairly quick escape.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Van Brill doing a pretty good job of keeping Lewan at bay. 2-2 heading into the third period.

MVB going on bottom.

 

[MS-RU]

Great job by MVB thus far. Tied 2-2 and MVB starts down in the 3rd.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Van Brill out quickly to take the 3-2 lead

 

[R U Crazy]

He pushed him out...isnt that a stall?

 

[Lex Knapp]

Van Brill gives up a stall point, as Lewan backs Van Brill up out of bounds. Tied up at 3 with 1:15 remaining.

 

[RUTrack94]

Ok more upbeat news Men’s Lacrosse up 14-5 in the 2nd

 

[MS-RU]

Of course MVB gets hit for stalling and they let Aguilar's guy go the whole 7 mins without a single shot. I hate officials.

 

[R U Crazy]

UG...TD with 15 seconds left



good match by MVB......stall calls really hurt

 

[MS-RU]

Once again we lose a match in the last 10/15 seconds.

 

[SCNJ]

I’ve lost count of how many bouts this year we’ve lost in the final 15 seconds

 

[Lex Knapp]

Lewan gets an underhook single in the final seconds of the match. Lewan wins 5-3 over MVB.

Michgian leading 15-3 heading into the break

 

[AreYouNUTS]

AGAIN??

I’ve lost count of how many bouts this year we’ve lost in the final 15 seconds

It’s disgraceful. I told my dad, as we headed into The third. Just now, that van braille, despite being up one, would lose in the last 20 seconds of the match. #shocker

 

[MS-RU]

I’ve lost count of how many bouts this year we’ve lost in the final 15 seconds

SOFT is the best word to describe this season

 

[Lex Knapp]

Quick mid-match observations

-Rutgers, as a whole, does a good job getting to legs, but a poor job finishing.
-Bottom is definitely the team's weakness.
-This team is not very good late in matches. Which, after Goodale's comments in the press conference after Purdue, is not too much of a surprise.

 

[RUCreedo]

Yep and there it is... the last-minute Mike Van Brill give the match away

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Mvb has to know he can’t get backed out with a warning. Have to circle in take safe shot to avoid stall call.
