Eveleth overcomes a 3-0 Nickerson lead in the third period with a takedown and three back points to win at 125, 5-3.  Quite a turnaround from the dual meet where Nick romped easily.

0-for-2 as Valenti beats Frey 4-1 with a takedown, escape, and riding time.

Leen comes through at 149 2-1 over Harvard's O'Connor according to the Penn blogger.

Anceravage wins 165 by 9-6 over American's Cannon.

American's Glenn handles Rinaldi 6-1 at 197.

Navy's Prendergast easily takes Hammond at 285.

That might cost Nickerson the 2 seed at the NCAAs. Dammit! This was an improvement for Frey, though, who got pinned in 1:30 by Valenti last time. Glad to see Leen win and REALLY glad to see Anceravage pull out a tournament win like this.

Congrats also to Rob Koll who was named EIWA coach of the year.

Two firsts, four seconds, one third and a fourth. Not bad - and enough to win the team title - but I am a more than a little disappointed that Nickerson and Rinaldi didn't win their weight classes.

Only one takedown between them.  Glenn is tough, but to get no offensive points is very disappointing.  Not a good way to go into NCAAs.

Strong tournaments for Anceravage and Arnone, however, and for Hammond to beat Weibel was very nice.
