Giraldo / Norstrem now....cautious pawing by both in first. no score.
giraldo on top in second
 
giraldo gives up reversal off of gramby roll. Giraldo out. 2-1 Norstrem now.
 
norstrem backing up a lot. no stalling called yet. But Giraldo not committing to a strategy.
2-1 Norstrem at end of second. Giraldo on bottom. he is out.
2-2
 
giraldo gaining ground, but no shots.
match regulation ends 2-2. SV OT no score. now rideouts
 
Two costly freshmen mistakes.

Getting reversed twice instead of just giving up the one.
 
another damn gramby reversal. why cant we adjust?

But Giraldo gets reversal in his rideout.

going to 2 OT
 
the scorekeeper is horrendous. she has no clue on wrestling scoring and riding time in OT
 
What a sh**y way to lose.

12 seconds of riding time determined the winner.

I would have liked to see Giraldo commit to at least one shot during regulation.
 
I don't think he knew the match was going to end there. I think he thought it would go to another minute of neutral.
 
i think geraldo had takedown in 2 OT.
refs suck. no review?
But Giraldo had no takedowns

Clock keeper is worst i have seen in a long time. no clue on rules nor how to keep a clock.
 
Wonder if Tyson is sick. He was not himself at all in any aspect of the match.
