Wrestling LIVE - Rutgers vs Rider Updates

Huge win for Angelo and RU! RU is 2 for 2 in tossups thus far. If MVB can keep it to a dec or better, it would be picture perfect start.

IMO Pete and JoJo so close. We should of keep Pete at 141 and let JoJo redshirt. I think Pete would of served us well and JoJo gets some experience. Not looking to start a debate.

Potentially dangerous called right before Dellavecchia was most likely going to get two. Good fight on the scramble from MVB
 
Dellavecchia gets a takedown right at the buzzer of the first period. He will go into the second period leading 2-0.

MVB chooses neutral to start the second
 
Van Brill doing his job so far. Still only 2-0 in favor of Dellavecchia, after two periods.

Dellavecchia chooses bottom to start the third

Van Brill cuts Dellavecchia looses after about 1:15. MVB will need a takedown to tie up the match.
 
Last second takedown killed MVB. Otherwise he wrestled a great match.
 
All year Rutgers has been a totally different team before and after intermission. Hopefully the big guys match the little guys effort tonight.
 
The Princeton vs Cornell announcers were great very knowledgeable impartial and did their homework telling a little recent history of each wrestlers past 5 matches.

We got twiddle dee and twiddle dumb who just picked up a program 15 mins. before the match wearing their Rider sweatshirts..
 
165 is massive...an RU win (assuming Janzer takes care of business against an unranked foe) puts RU in the drivers seat.

They said that Lipari lost his Rutgers wrestle off at 133. Completely missed the backstory of the bout. We got the Abbott and Costello team of ESPN.
 
Rutgers really needs a win out of Brett Donner when action resumes.

Rider is going to be favored at 174, 197, & 285. Taking 2 of 5 should give Rutgers a solid chance of winning the dual.
 
Intermission is over, as Brett Donner takes the mat to battle Rider's Joe Casey
 
Donner gives up a technical violation, for what I assume is grabbing the headgear? Not really sure.

Casey leading 1-0 with a minute left in the period
 
The violation point is the only score in the first period.

Donner going to down to start the second period.
 
Donner rides Casey out the rest of the way. He will take a 3-1 lead, and 37 seconds of RT into the third period.

Casey will have choice to start the third, following bloodtime.

It looked to me like he was grabbing the singlet trying to get behind for 2
