Our team wrestled really well yesterday at Binghamton, in a match we dominated 24-12. We beat them for the fourth time in the last five years. Binghamton was receiving votes in the latest Intermatwrestle.com/NWCA National Team Rankings, which puts them in the top 30. We moved to 4-2 as a team this season.
Here is the breakdown...
We started the match at 149 pounds, where Desi Green lost a heart-breaker to nationally ranked Vinson by a point. Desi is looking to bounce-back to old form this weekend at the Virginia Duals. I think we will all see a much better performance out of Desi this weekend. At 157 pounds, Mark Lewandowski dominated nationally ranked Kaylor. Kaylor has been ranked in the top 20 all season and Mark out-wrestled him from the opening whistle. Mark got offensive right away and never looked back in a very solid 11-2 major decision victory. At 165, John-Martin Cannon was again the aggressor (which was the case throughout the dual meet) and set a high pace in his match against returning All-American, Lister. He was the aggressor and scored the only takedown in the match. In the third overtime, Cannon got deep on a single, lifted, and threw Lister to his back but did not end up finishing the takedown. Lister came-back to score on a double leg. At 174 and 184, we dropped close, hard-fought bouts to two nationally ranked grapplers. Josh Peters got us back on track at 197 pounds. Josh controlled the match and we didn't look back as a team. Brett Correll picked up a solid win at heavyweight. Sean Walton was awarded a win by forfeit at 125 pounds. We finished the match with major decision victories at 133 and 141 pounds. Kevin Smith dominated his match at 133 pounds by scoring several takedowns. Andrew Schutt finished off the match with a major decision and nearly a fall at 141 pounds. Overall it was a solid outing by the Bulls.
