Tyler Kasak, the No. 2 seed at 157 pounds, will face No. 7 Trevor Chumbley of Northwestern in the quarterfinals.
2025 B1G Tourney Session I Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
The top seed at 174 pounds, Levi Haines, will face No. 8 Brody Baumann of Purdue. He beat Lucas Condon of Wisconsin 14-7.
Carter Starocci will face Indiana's DJ Washington in the quarterfinals at 184 pounds. The Hoosier gave the Nittany Lion his only collegiate loss, but the Penn State star has beaten him every time since.
You might mean his only dual loss. He did lose to Michael Kemerer in the B1G finals his RSFR year or maybe the next year. I can’t remember.
It was Carter’s very first match off his RS and Washington tossed him to his back twice from neutral. He battled back but couldn’t close the gap. It was a heck of a way for an all-time great and 4Xer to start their career.

There is a 125lb QF on mat3 right now (Ramos/Rivera) so I think they are doing QF bouts.
Yeah, but they are still finishing first round at heavyweight. Not sure what they will do on those mats after that.
Purdue's Matt Ramos survives a scare at 125 pounds by pinning Nicolar Rivera of Wisconsin in sudden victory. He's into the semifinals on Luke Lilledahl's side of the bracket. The Penn State freshman is on the mat for his quarterfinal soon.
Very nice short time TD by LL with 2 seconds to go in the first on the edge of the mat. Up 3-0.
Amazing to me how the Iowa knuckledraggers call for stalling when some of their guys are the most obvious at it.

From a tech fall to a major decision is iowa, going to count that is closing the gap?
Shawver carrying Davis around is funny. He doesn't get any points for it and it just wears him down. That said, Davis tends to get himself into precarious situations.
