This past weekend was a disappointing weekend to say the least. We went 2-1 on the weekend but I thought we were more than capable of going 3-0. We opened the weekend flat against Bloomsburg and rebounded to dominate Drexel and East Stroudsburg.
We lost close at 125 in a match that Walton needed to be more aggressive and get to his attacks against Bloomsburg. Then, Walton won his next two matches by forfeit. At 133 pounds, Smith was very sick all weekend and most of this week. He pulled through and beat a tough opponent from Bloomsburg but took a loss against Drexel. The wrestler he beat from Bloomsburg beat the Drexel wrestler and I believe Smith was the best 133 pound wrestler in the gym on Sunday. Schutt lost a heart-breaker at 141 pounds against Bloomsburg, which was a bad loss for him. Then, he dominate his Drexel opponent 13-2 (the Drexel wrestler beat the Bloomsburg wrestler that Schutt lost to earlier that day). Against ESU, Schutt bumped up to 149 pounds and picked up a decision. Conti wrestled at 141 pounds against ESU, but lost a 6-9 decision against a very tough opponent. Green controlled the match at 149 pounds against Bloomsburg but I thought he was a little sluggish and should have been looking for bonus points. In his match against Drexel, he looked much better with a major decision win. At 157 pounds, Lewandowski controlled the Bloomsburg match early but had a terrible 3rd period and lost a very winnable match. He beat his Drexel opponent easily and grabbed a forfeit against ESU. At 165 pounds, Cannon did not open up enough to win and worked hard to address that problem this week. He took losses to both Bloomsburg and Drexel. In the ESU match, Cannon got back on track with a solid win. Sheehan was winning the 174 pound match against Bloomsburg when he got pinned, which was a tough loss. He lost a close match against the Drexel opponent (who Sheehan split with this year). Sheehan scored a technical fall in his final match against ESU. Hamel, much like Cannon, did not open up enough to win against Bloomsburg, but did enough to win against Drexel. He looked very good against ESU, where he won by major decision. The wrestler he majored from ESU beat two people this year that have beaten Hamel so that was nice to see him dominate the match. Peters (197) and Correll (HWT) were the high-light performers of the weekend. Both were undefeated. Peters beat a wrestler from Bloomsburg that had beat him during his redshirt year. Then, he picked up a great win over his Drexel opponent that just placed at the Las Vegas Invite. He followed that up with another solid win against ESU. Correll beat his Bloomsburg opponent with solid wrestling and a high pace. Then, he dominated a good opponent from Drexel. Donner wrestled in the heavyweight match with ESU but lost a tight match by giving up an escape and a takedown in the 3rd period.
We are looking to bounce back Sunday at the Reno Tournament of Champions with a great team performance.
