Wrestling Match Thread: Garden State Grapple - RU Wrestling vs. Hofstra & UNC

[koleszar]

What happened here with the forfeit our staff didn’t seem too happy? I paid for this sh*t

 

[njsportsphan]

Total pussy move by UNC. Shame on them.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Any chance in the presser you can ask Goodale his take on the sport heading in this ridiculous direction of forfeits and ducking? I know he’ll have to bite his tongue a bit but he can also be pretty open and honest

Not sure if we are getting one today (sometimes at events outside the RAC we do not always get one), but if so, I will do my best to get his take.

 

[Leonard23]

Iffy performance by Alvarez.

Everyone should tweet at Coleman Scott and Ramos for this pathetic 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Van Brill escapes right away, and takes Phillips down to go up 5-0

Please ask and everyone should be calling out these opposing coaches for this nonsense. College wrestling is dead if these idiots continue the 🦆🦆🦆🦆

Because they are purposefully ducking all of our top guys to save face/seeds. Total bitch move.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Period ends 5-0, Van Brill.

Van Brill takes defense to start the second period, and reverses Phillips quickly. 7-0, MVB

 

[SCNJ]

You get better by wrestling top guys. I do not see any benefit in ducking opponents. Is seeding really that big of a deal?

 

[Lex Knapp]

Phillips is cut loose, but Van Brill takes Phillips down quickly there after to go up 9-1 with :50 left in the second period

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Is this the guy MVB was expected to wrestle?

 

[MS-RU]

Ehh Heilmann didn’t really make Sammy work and he couldn’t get anything going on top so he took his almost 4 mins of ride time and got out of there.

 

[CollegeFBfan]

Is this the guy MVB was expected to wrestle?

No

 

[Lex Knapp]

Van Brill rides out the second period, and gets his RT up to 2:11. MVB leads 9-1 going into the third.

Phillips chooses neutral

 

[Leonard23]

They should refund everyone and make UNC pay for it, not that it would cost much because attendance sucks.

 

[MS-RU]

Is this the guy MVB was expected to wrestle?

No, Sherman already took an L before to Wisconsin so UNC didn’t send him out there to protect his record… aka ducked

 

[Lex Knapp]

Van Brill with one last take to ice the match. He wins 12-1 with the RT point.

Rutgers leads 16-0

 

[koleszar]

Because they are purposefully ducking all of our top guys to save face/seeds. Total bitch move.

I am never making this drive again. We’re now getting forfeits and backups

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

They must not care much about losing the meet. They had a fair chance for a win.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Rob Kanniard wrestling at 157-lbs to wrestle the 2021 149-lb national champion, Austin O'Connor.

Thanks for sending out a starter, Coleman

 

[Bobbynieds]

Kannaird needs this match as an indicator to where he is.


I would have laughed if rU forfeited

 

[Leonard23]

I am never making this drive again. We’re now getting forfeits and backups

Exactly. It's a joke and these idiot coaches are killing wrestling. I'm so glad I didn't go after the football game.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Kanniard takes O'Connor down to strike first. 2-0 Kanniard 1:25 left in the first

 

[MS-RU]

Hell of a start for Kanniard! Gets the takedown of O’Connor.

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Connor escapes, making it 2-1

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Connor gets a takedown of his own to take a 3-2 lead

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Connor remains on top for the rest of the first period. 3-2, O'Connor leads.

Kanniard chooses defense

 

[newRU]

How did O'Connor do vs. Wisky?

 

[Leonard23]

Kanniard looked good until he got 🥞

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Connor puts Kanniard to his back, and had him nearly decked. Great fight by Kanniard to get off his back. O'Connor leads 7-2, after getting four backs

 

[SCNJ]

Damn Kannaird was so close to being up 4-1 and now it’s 7-2 with riding time in favor of OConnor.

 

[MS-RU]

How did O'Connor do vs. Wisky?

Got the MD

 

[Lex Knapp]

Kanniard can't manage to break free from O'Connor. He will trail O'Connor 7-2 going into the third, where O'Connor has over 2:00 of RT.

O'Connor chooses neutral

 

[newRU]

Thanks

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Connor scores quickly on a single to go up 9-2

 

[Lex Knapp]

Kanniard manages to get a takedown at the end of the match, but it won't matter. 12-6 win for O'Connor.

Rutgers leads 16-3 going into 165

 

[MS-RU]

Way to battle back and keep it to a decision for Kanniard.

 

[Bobbynieds]

NIce holding O Connor to a regular decision!
