125: #16 Luke Lilledahl, PSU vs Gage Walker, Mizzou

1st period: Luke, a U17 and U20 world gold medalists and true freshman starter, gets in on a single leg first. Walker does a good job scrambling and keeps Lilledahl from scoring. Even better, Walker comes out behind and gets the first points of the match with a takedown! Comes about half way through the period. Lilledhal is out immediately and shoots in but Walker again defends, this time to neutral. Lilledahl in again and this time he finishes his shot, leads 4-3 with about 30 seconds left in the match. Lilledahl gets the ride out and its 4-3 after 3 minutes. 

2nd period: Walker also a true freshman, stepping up to replace Noah Surtin who unfortunately had to cut his career short due to injuries and retired recently. Walker chooses bottom. Lilledahl stops the first couple of escape attempts and now has over one minute of riding time, but soon after Walker stands and is free. Score is 4-4. Period finishes in neutral, still 4-4. 

3rd period: Lilledahl takes bottom. Walker gets a chance to run that RT clock down. He gets it to 49 seconds before Lilledahl escapes to make it 5-4 in his favor. 90 seconds left in regulation. 60 seconds. Shots from both wrestlers. No stall calls yet. And there's the buzzer, Lilledahl takes the first bout of the day 5-4!

133: #7 Braiden Davis, PSU vs #32 Kade Moore, Mizzou

1st period: Davis going big in the first 30 seconds! Lat drop doesn't land for the true sophomore but som early fireworks for the fans. Action is back on quickly, some wild scrambles, Davis almost had a peterson but Moore nearly rules him through but eventually Davis overpowers and collects the takedown. Davis keeps a leg turk, goes chancery hold on the hand and starts collections nearfall. Davis grabs the trailing ankle and gets a bow and arrow to go along with the leg turk and Moore is just trying to survive at this point. Davis couldn't get in position for a fall but he will take a 7-0 lead after the first period. 

2nd period: Davis riding for 30 seconds but then looks like slipped in a full nelson by accident so he'll give up a penalty point. So 7-1 but Davis still on top. Near side cradle for Davis but it's called potential dangerous, had the near leg in a precarious position. Moore unable to free himself and Davis will take a 7-1 lead and 3:39 of RT into the 3rd period.

3rd period: Davis take neutral to try and get a bonus point win. Snap down go behind for Davis and he'll get three more to lead 10-1. Davis still looking for the nearside cradle but it's not happening so he cuts Moore. Shot from space for Moore but Davis catches him in plenty of time and then spins behind for a 13-2 lead. Now 13-3 as Davis is going for the kill. He won't get the tech but he will get the long-since-locked-up riding time point to win 14-3!

141: #3 Beau Bartlett, PSU vs #13 Josh Edmond, Mizzou

1st period: NCAA finalist Bartlett for the Nits, two-time qualifier Edmond for the Tigers. Two very fast, very powerful wrestlers on the mat. Straight on double for Edmond, Bartlett parries him away. No scores after one minutes. Limited action for the next 60 seconds. Bartlet shoots Edmon out of bounds with 50 seconds on the clock and Edmon is dinged for stalling. It's a warning, just his first. Edmond in on another shot but stone hips from Bartlett stops that shot cold. No scores the rest of the period and we'll take double goose eggs to the second. 

2nd period: Bartlett takes bottom. He's out quickly so erase the bagel from his side of the scoreboard. 1-0 Beau. One minute left in the period, still 1-0. 30 seconds, a lot of circling. Now Bartlett fires off a shot and follows up, grabbing a leg on the reattack. Edmon sprawls and is able to fend off Bartlett as the go out of bounds in the final seconds of the period. Still 1-0 in Beau's favor, one stall on Edmond.

3rd period: Edmon hip heists off the whistle and turns into to escape in about 1 second. That's the speed of Edmond! So 1-1, riding time not a factor. That stall warning looms large though. No scores with a minute left. 30 seconds to go and Bartlett moves Edmond to the edge. Edmond playing with fire. But he makes it to the end of regulation. Into overtime tied 1-1!

Sudden victory: 30 seconds in Edmond fires off a blast double but Bartlett is so strong and he stops Edmond and now he's on the reattack. Bartlett feasts on these counters and he's on a leg right away. Edmond fighting but Bartlett collects the second leg and wins in overtime! Or does he? Edmond says there was a singlet pull and there comes the brick from Coach Smith and the Tiger corner. And the call stands. No singlet pull. Bartlett wins 4-1!

149: #2 Shayne Van Ness, PSU vs Zeke Seltzer, Mizzou

1st period: Van Ness, who placed 3rd as a freshmen but then missed almost all of last season with an injury gets the first takedown towards the end of the period to take a 3-0 lead over Seltzer. Van Ness puts a hammer lock on Seltzer and turns that into a bow and arrow. And with some brute force and forces Seltzer's shoulders to the mat for a first period fall! SVN by pin!

Penn State 16, Missouri 0

157: #3 Tyler Kasak, PSU vs #26 James Conway, Mizzou

1st period: No scores after one minute. They are racing through these bouts tournament-style. No TV timeouts, no breaks, just check in at the head table and go! Kasak in on a single leg at the edge of the mat trying to finish with a minute left on the clock. And after an extended effort Kasak front trips the leg he didn't have control off and slams down on top of Conway for three points. 3-0 Kasak and they'll get a restart. Kasak a true sophomore, Conway a redshirt sophomore. Kasak staying on top, frustrating Conway's escape attempts. And Kasak will get the rideout. 

2nd period: Kasak chooses bottom and he's out fairly quickly. Can Conway find his offense in the second period. Doesn't look like it. With a minute left on the clock Kasak attacks and finishes at the edge for his second takedown. He'll go neutral on the restart, making it 7-1 as he smells bonus. 30 seconds left in the period, Kasak on Conway's legs again. he'll get the takedown, then thought they were out of bounds with 7 seconds left but no whistle and so no rideout. 10-2 at the end of the second, Kasak with the 8 point lead. 

3rd period: Conway takes bottom. He stands and is out to make it 10-3. Kasak with 1:17 of riding time. Conway not out of it but the way the match has been going a Kasak bonus win seems more likely. One minute left in regulation, still 10-3. Conway staying in Kasak's face, he's not going to go down easy. 30 seconds left and Conway is showing a little bit of offense but just some flurries, no extended scrambles. 11-3 is the final. Kasak just barely gets the major!

Mesenbrink wins by forfeit.

[Match is over but I wanted to point out that Missouri's 165-pounder Cam Steed, got hurt in his bout against Little Rock. Hence the forfeit.]

174: #2 Levi Haines, PSU vs #1 Keegan O'Toole, Mizzou

1st period: No time to discuss Mesenrbink's forfeit win, it's #1 vs #2 time! Shot by O'Toole, Haines tries to throw by. Heavy hands by O'Toole. This is already a physical bout. One minute deep and lots of vicious hand fights but no scores. Now Haines on a shot but O'Toole get his hips back and this is where O'Toole is dangerous. He's been known to sit the corner and cradle a wrestler or two. We'll just get a stalemate this time. O'Toole staying active from neutral. Haines looking for reattack options. 30 seconds left in the period. Very active period but no scores after three minutes, 0-0. 

2nd period: Haines chooses first and he'll take bottom. Caution on Haines, he gets a clean start for the next whistle and stands and is out in under 10 seconds. Snap down throw by attempt by Haines, O'Toole squares up in time, back in neutral. Shot then reshot by O'Toole but Haines defends. Less than a minute left in the period. Shot from O'Toole he's on a single but Haines sprawls and we get a stalemate. 30 seconds to go in the 2nd. And the period ends, with a slim 1-0 lead for Haines. 

3rd period: O'Toole says he'd like a turn underneath. Haines able to throw a boot in, O'Toole grabs a leg, they twist and turn and corkscrew to their feet and O'Toole is free. 1-1, riding time not a factor. Nice shot from Haines and he's got a single leg but some gnarly far ankle scrambling from O'Toole and he casually funks the sequence into a stalemate. Still 1-1, less than a minute. Short time, half shots from both guys. 20 seconds. No scores, off to sudden victory!

Sudden Victory: Haines on the attack early looking for a fireman's O'Toole sscrambles free, wild scramble. I mean WILD. This is what we all came to see. I can't possibly describe it in real time. Haines is close but O'Toole coming out the back and he'll get the takedown! A scramble for the ages! Haines is asking for the brick. He's saying he had control at one point. Haine had legs in at one point but was riding super high and O'Toole had an arm and maybe a leg too? Referees are looking at it. And the call is confirmed! No takedown for Haines. Yes takedown for O'Toole. 4-1 victory for O'Toole and still #1!

184: #1 Carter Starocci, PSU vs #8 Colton Hawks, Mizzou

1st Period: And PSU goes from Haines to four-time NCAA champ Carter Starocci no big deal. Hawks is very tough though, he's also a U20 world teamer. No scores halfway through the first period. Starocci taking ground but not changing levels. And he drives Hawls out of bounds and there's a stall call on Hawks, just a warning. Shot from Hawks but Starocci was waiting for that and spins behind for three and the lead. Short time rideout and Starocci takes a 3-0 lead into the second. 

2nd period: Hawks needs a new headgear. He gets his equipment situation sorted and is back on the mat, choosing down. Starocci doesn't let him up on his first couple of attempts and now he's got him stock down on the mat, driving forward and chopping his arms. Hawks gets to his base and Starocci changes up, sitting back and pinching a leg and then pulling an arm to the mat. He's just got too much strength. Now Hawks gets his for stalling but you have to sympathize, not much he can do here. Hawks is clearly trying to escape. Not like he's having fun down there! But it'll be a rideout for Starocci and we go to the 3rd still 3-0. 

3rd period: Now Starocci gets a turn on bottom. Hawks will try and ride but all he can do is get RT under a minute, he'll need a turn or he'll have to cut Carter. Haws riding for about 40 seconds but right as he's about to cut Starocci loose its a reversal as Starocci grabs a leg and covers for two. 6-0 Starocci. Hawks is out but Starocci right back on the attack and he makes it 9-1 with short time left on the clock. RT long-since locked up. Starocci wants some nearfall, Hawks fights through the end of the match though and it's just a 10-1 lead. Still a major and bonus for Starocci! 

Penn State 30, Missouri 3

197: #6 Josh Barr, PSU vs Jesse Cassat, Mizzou

1st period: Barr with a takedown and two nearfall before I can type his name and his opponent's. Still no Rocky Elam for Mizzou yet this year. And make it another takedown while I was typing that sentence. 8-2 and we haven't wrestled a minute yet. 11-2 now with 1:53 on the clock in the first period. Armbar for Josh Barr, and he runs Cassat to his back and picks up the pinfall! 6 more for Penn State!

Penn State 36, Missouri 3

285: #2 Greg Kerkvliet, PSU vs Jarrett Stoner, Mizzou

1st: Returning national champ Greg Kerkvliet on the mat. He's #2 because a guy names Gable Steveson is back for one final year of NCAA wrestling. Jarrett Stoner is in for #18 Seth Nitzel. No scores after one minute. One more minute of wrestling, Kerkvliet moving Stoner around easily, then Kerkvliet changes levels and it's a takedown for Kerkvliet. Kerk looks to cut Stoner. Or does he? They're both just squatting on the mat, Stoner knows he could be walking into a Kerk trap. And there's the suck back Kerkvliet was looking for, sure enough. And it's four nearfall for Kerkvliet as the 1st period ends. 

2nd period: Stoner takes bottom. Tilt from Kerkvliet right of the whistle. No nearfall. New hold for Kerkvliet and there's the nearfall, four more points makes it 11-0. One minute left in the 2nd. Stoner hit with stalling. And even though Kerkvliet is not allowing him to do anything it does look like Stoner is kind of laying there at the moment. Tilt for one swipe and no points and the 2nd period ends. Must have been the 2nd stall for Stoner as it's 12-0. 

3rd period: Kerkvliet takes neutral. A takedown would give him the 15-0 clean sheet. Kerkvliet thumping on Stoner's head. 30 seconds into the period and still no takedown. Level change and there's the takedown, 15-0. The match mercifully comes to an end for Stoner. Penn State wins 9 of 10 bouts against Missouri!
