Wrestling LIVE - Rutgers vs. Cornell Updates

[RobotHunter]

Cornell looks so much bigger/stronger in every match.

 

[RUTrack94]

At least my kids are enjoying the match ....

 

[jerzey devil]

I know this is a down year but we are wrestling against Cornell's B squad and getting hammered. This youth movement people keep talking about doesn't mean anything. Besides Alvarez who is there to be excited about? Maybe Aguilar? The last few recruiting classes haven't panned out and it's starting to catch up to them. Not good at all and Goodale better start figuring it out soon. Ashnault and Suriano are long gone. Season tickets will disappear real fast if we keep putting this type of product on the mat

Settle down... This is a dual meet, not the end of the world.... This may not be Cornell "A" team.. But they have quality depth... Difference has been 3rd period wrestling... Need to finish matches... But that's what happens with a young lineup...

 

[mattiek]

This is extremely disappointing

 

[RUTrack94]

Thought RU would take this one, but can’t win them all ... need to win a few, get experience and avoid injuries.

 

[R U Crazy]

1 match at a time.......still a possibility. No HUGE underdogs

 

[Lex Knapp]

Second half of the dual kicking off at 165-lbs, as Brett Donner takes on Jakob Brindley.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Donner keeping the pressure on, and gets a stall call against Brindley. No one is able to score after three minutes, and Donner will start the second period on bottom after a 0-0 first.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Donner escapes, but he gives up a takedown shortly after. Donner then breaks free to tie the match at 2-2.

Period ends and Brindley goes on bottom to start the third.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Donner gives up a locking hands call from top, giving Brindley a 3-2 lead.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Brindley escapes, then takes down Donner to jump out in front 5-2. 33 seconds left in the period.

 

[R U Crazy]

ok...now it is almost out of reach

 

[Lex Knapp]

Period ends after a Donner escape, and Brindley wins 5-3.

18-3 Cornell

 

[MS-RU]

Another lackluster performance.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Joe Grello out to take on Milik Dawkins. He almost immediately takes Dawkins down on the edge to take an early 2-0 lead.

 

[KidDagger]

Can we get in Turley... there is literally no upside with Donner.. hate to say that

 

[RUTrack94]

Met Ashnault .... awesome representative and role model ... took a moment to take a photo with the kids.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Grello rides out the entire period on top, racking up 2:40 of RT. He only leads 2-0, despite the dominant ride.

Dawkins wisely chooses neutral to start the second period.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Grello with another takedown to extend the lead to 4

 

[Lex Knapp]

Grello rides out the second period on top after his takedown, and now has almost 4:00 of RT.

Grello takes a 4-0 lead into the third period, where he will start on defense.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Grello escapes, now 5-0. A takedown and a rideout would give Grello the major decision.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Grello gives up a takedown, and will walk away with a 8-2 decision after an escape.

18 - 6 Cornell

 

[R U Crazy]

no offense for Joe again.....I will take the W thou

 

[MS-RU]

Nice to see Joe take care of business and get a win. He was tough on top.

 

[KidDagger]

Maybe Janzer can save this night..

 

[Lex Knapp]

A battle of ranked freshman at 184, as No. 25 Billy Janzer takes on No. 23 John Loew

 

[Lex Knapp]

Janzer immediately gets a take, and cuts Loew after a 30 second ride. 2-1, Janzer, with 2:00 remaining in the first period.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Janzer with another take in the closing seconds of the first period! He takes a 4-1 lead into the second period.

Janzer chooses defense to start the second

 

[Lex Knapp]

Janzer escapes quickly, and now leads 5-1 in the second period

 

[Lex Knapp]

Janzer putting on a clinic, as he takes down Loew again, cuts him, and gets another! 9-2 with a minute left in the second period.

 

[bigmatt718]

Janzer is a beast.

 

[MS-RU]

Janzer is feeling it!

 

[Lex Knapp]

Loew gets an escape, and the second period ends on the feet. Janzer up 9-3 heading into the third.

Loew chooses defense.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Janzer lets Loew go, and the score is now 9-4. Janzer has 1:07 of RT and there is 1:32 on the clock.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Janzer holds center, and closes out the match on his feet over No. 24 John Loew. I don't know if I can say this, but I'm going to anyway: Billy Janzer is my favorite Rutgers wrestler to watch.

Cornell leads 18-9 heading into 197

 

[R U Crazy]

Janzer with a big win!!!! Salvage the night a bit

 

[MS-RU]

Great performance by Janzer! Picks up a nice ranked win. He is wrestling great!

 

[Lex Knapp]

Jordan Pagano now wrestling John Fagen at 197. Pagano gets a quick take to jump out in-front 2-0

 

[MS-RU]

Can Pagano get a pin here??

 

[Lex Knapp]

Pagano working his tail off for a turn, but Fagen holds off.
