[koleszar]

WTF with O'Neil? What's wrong with Turley? Not one match today, clearly he's hurt.

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Neill gives up a takedown to Nolan, and trails 2-0 with a minute left in the first

 

[Lex Knapp]

WTF with O'Neil? What's wrong with Turley?

Turley was dressed earlier today, then was in running shoes, then back in wrestling shoes when Alvarez got pinned. I am going to assume he is healthy enough to wrestle, but is resting for precautionary reasons. Will find out more after the match.

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Neill unable to escape, and the first period ends with him trailing 2-0.

Nolan chooses defense to start the second

 

[Lex Knapp]

I know I have said this before, but we need a camera and a mic on Goodale at all times when he is on the bench. Very underrated throughout college wrestling in the entertainment department

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Neill rides Nolan for almost a 1:30 of the period, but Nolan finally escapes.

Nolan now leads 3-0

 

[Lex Knapp]

Nolan gets a take before the period ends, and takes a 5-0 lead into the third.

O'Neill chooses bottom to start the final period

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Neill escapes to get on the board. He has some work to do, though. O'Neill trails Nolan 5-1, with 1:00 left. RT is not a factor

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Neill is unable to get any offense going, and loses the match 5-1.

Rutgers still leads the dual, 18-9

[Lex Knapp]

Stay tuned for more on today's quad meet later today!

 

[Bobbynieds]

Pox wrestled his little brother Sam Deprez

 

[Lex Knapp]

So that wasn’t who Poz wrestled?

Poz wrestled Sam DePrez, Lou's younger brother.

 

[CollegeFBfan]

Got it thanks. So wasn’t the NCAA rematch then I guess

 

[ScottRU93]

Got it thanks. So wasn’t the NCAA rematch then I guess

Deprez apparently weighted in at 196 so they wouldn’t have wrestled even if he was healthy

 

[Bobbynieds]

Yes, and it was not close. 12-5

Has Bulsak made that much progress the last few months?
If so, this is very good for RU

 

[wngarbarini]

The team looks good for the first outing. Shawver looks good as hopefully Peterson red shirts. Sammy is Sammy and prone to get in trouble with his funk. Looks good at 133. Seabass looks strong and in total control. MVB just wins. Clark getting better. Finishing with Turley, Poz, Bulsack and Boone will win us a bunch of matches.

MVB needed to have mat awareness with 42 seconds of riding time. He was handling the kid from top and does that crazy over the top maneuver to give up the escape. Just rack up that riding time first. The risk reward at that moment wasn’t worth it. Glad he pulled out the win and it was nice to see offense at the end.

 

[wngarbarini]

Colucci and Olivieri won at ESU and White was 3rd

 

[elvis7]

Kannairds gonna have to improve his standup defense on that body lock. Almost cost him two wins today.

Agreed, but that should be the easiest part to improve. I think his ceiling is very high if he tightens up his mental lapses. imo
