Congratulations to all the guys for wrestling up to the occasion and representing well. We had five All-Americans out of five athletes. We went a combined 22-4 and came away in 3rd as a team improving on last year's 4th place finish.

Individual results are:

149lbs. Chris Piccolella, All-American 5th Place. Chris lost a heartbreaker in OT during the semi-finals to Dillon Evans of Westchester University. Evans went on to win the championship. He defeated Cody Streuning, Northampton CC 7-5 to claim 5th place.

157lbs. Matt Jackson, All-American 3rd Place. He lost a close match to Peter Rose of Southern Virginia University, but battled back to take 3rd over Eric Powell of Williamson Trade.

165lbs. Jake Schalles, National Champion. Jake wrestled well through the tournament and didn't surrender a single offensive point during the entire affair. He defeated Matt Gobin, USMAPS 6-1 in the final.

174lbs. Oscar Huntley, All-American, 3rd Place. Opened the tourney with a technical fall and a fall but lost in the semis to Ross Cravens, Kennesaw State 7-12. He made his way through the consolation side of the bracket to 3rd with a 14-6 major decision over Charles Mills, Apprentice School.

197lbs. Nick Hylton, National Champion. Nick compiled a pin, three decisions and a major on his way to winning the title. He defeated Dan Brower of Miami University (OH) 9-8 in the finals.

Bryant Results; MAPS Matches

noreply@blogger.com (LeRoy Gardner) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 13:18:00 +0000

The guys performed solid at Bryant U's Groundhog Day Open Last weekend. We won the team title over UMASS-Amherst. Led by 165lb'er Jake Schalles with 3 falls to win the title at his weight class. 174lb Oscar Huntley won his weight going 3-0 including a technical fall on the day. Nick Hylton at 197lbs. lost a close match in the finals to Bryant U's Jaret Grossman by a point. Sam Cervantes wrestling down at 235lbs is undefeated at that weight class and has two tournament championships to his credit, winning this weekend. At 141lbs. Ben Levin lost a close match in the finals to URI's Derek Trahan, a 5 seconds remaining stalling call sent the match to O.T. where Trahan grabbed a takedown to win. At 197 Stephen Glick went 0-2 after nearly securing a fall in his first match of the day but couldn't keep his opponent down.

At MAPS this weekend we will be wrestling only a handful of exhibitions due to some injuries suffered this previous weekend. We are bringing Jake Schalles, Oscar Huntley, and Sam Cervantes for some exhibition matches as MAPS is also suffering from the same injury bug. Wrestling will start at 930. Directions can be found here>http://www.usma.edu/USMAPS/pages/visitors/directions.htm

Wish us an injury free weekend:)

NCWA Poll shows Contender Emerging

12/1 /2008 -
The December 1st NCWA Ranking Poll this week seems to explore the possibility that a contender is emerging that could challenge defending champion Grand Valley State this year for the National Title. Navy Prep a strong finisher last year seems to be eyeing the trophy this go round. With a strong DI recruiting class the midshipmen could sneak up on the Lakers even though they seem to be short at 125 and 235. With four #1 votes this week it seems the coaches that have seen them on the mat this year are looking for an upset in Hampton Virginia this March. Other teams emerging into the top 25 this week include new teams Cincinnati State Technical College #9 and West Chester University which made the bold move to # 14 by a strong showing last week defeating Valley Forge, Northeastern, Rensselaer Polytechnic, University of Delaware and powerhouse Northampton in head to head duals. The coaches at the event commented that "They are for real" West Chester is a first year NCWA Program coached by Joe Miller.

Binghamton Open Results

noreply@blogger.com (LeRoy Gardner) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:02:00 +0000

We made it back to RI after venturing to New York state yet again...I want to extend my sincere thanks to our gracious hosts for the weekend, The Capone Family. They went above and beyond to help make our guys and me feel at home. Great food, family and overall was a good thing.

Thanks.

Wrestling wise the brackets are posted here:

We had got what we wanted out of the trip, see top notch competition and get in some tough matches.

We saw our share of NCAA All Americans and more.

Highlights were Peter Capone taking 3rd at 174, after falling to Steve Anceravege of Cornell in the semi's.

We match up with some conference foes this weekend starting at 0900 in our home Gym.
