157 Consolation Semi: #1 seed Tyler Kasak vs. #2 seed Meyer Shapiro (Cornell)
I'll use MS for Shapiro
Per 1
I'm picking this up late due to following Bartlett's match. 30 sec left, 0-0. Kasak in on a single, Shapiro tries to roll, they scramble and the buzzer sounds, and Kasak is awarded a TD. Cornell throws a brick, so we're going to video review. Looking at the replay on TV, and it's tough to tell if he got the TD before the end of the period. The call is confirmed, so it's 3-0
Per 2
Kasak takes bottom. Kasak to his feet, lifted, returned, then Kasak grabs a leg and they scramble, and a stalemate with 1:29 left. kayak to his feet, hits a sitout on the return, then works to a 4-pt stance, then turns in and is close to a reversal, but OOB and MS never lets go of a leg, 56 sec left. Kasak to his feet, and he's out, 4-0. RT @ 1:11 for MS. No shots after the esc. End
Per 3
MS takes bottom. MS works up, Kasak has him bouncing on one leg, and they are OOB with 1:36 left. Kasak gets the RT for MS under 1 min. MS works up, lifted, and OOB with 1:19 left. MS hits a roll, and gets the esc as they go OOB with 1:11 left, 4-1. RT is not a factor (23 sec for MS). 1 min left. OOB with 41 sec left. MS with a snap down of the head, nothing. MS kind of pushes kayak off the edge with 25 sec left. Stall warning on Kasak. OOB with 13 sec left. Stall call against Kasak as they go OOB with 5 sec, 4-2. End
Kasak will wrestle later today for 3rd place!!!

Covered earlier in this thread and also on the home page:
Penn State senior Greg Kerkvliet medically defaults out of the 2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships
Penn State senior Greg Kerkvliet entered the NCAA Championships with a knee injury. It is now ending his tournament early.
Did what he needed to survive but I thought they could hit him with another stall in that last 30 sec or so.
Not sure. There are no mat assignments yet. When I know, you all will be the first to know.
I believe they announced in the arena that they were going to roll right into the 7th place matches then 5th and then 3rd
Won’t they do 7-8s. Then the 5-6s. The. The 3-4s?
