Finals Preview
The road to the Championship dual couldn't have been more dramatic. Down 9 with three bouts to go, Minnesota stormed a comeback against Michigan. Heading in to the last match, Minnesota trailed just 31-30 and Keegan Moore had a 7-0 lead before Ty Wildmo rallied for the win.
In the other pool, a see-saw battle looked to be heading Illinois' way. In the second to last bout, FILA Cadet Champ, Tim Young was dominating his match with highly ranked Lance Dixon before Dixon got a fall that would turn the dual and send Illinois to their first loss at JR Greco Duals since 2010.
This afternoon's line-ups for the the Championship Match, which will be streamed on Mat 2 Live on FLO PRO.
