It was a great weekend for the Big Red. We had a doubleheader on Saturday, starting with a 1 p.m. match at Hofstra, and then culminating in a 6 p.m. Ivy League faceoff at Columbia. Over the course of the day, our guys only gave up eight offensive points.

Thanks Matt for sharing your predictions….As a reminder all readers are more than welcome to do the same. Perhaps if we get enough predictions, we can put together a little contest and declare a winner with a modest prize.
A couple of things worth mentioning at 157 — JP tormented Sanderson at the Sprawl and brawl this year, in what was very uncharacteristly an offensive/defensive match for him; he turned his defense into a very aggressive offense and totally dominated the match. It was the best match I’ve seen him wrestle because of it. And Bowman, though a 3rd period wonder, doesn’t stand any real chance of being in the finals, and a very, very slim chance of placing; his wrestling, though impressive, isn’t all-am impressive, and depends on a totally dominating 3rd period against a worn out opponent…not too likely at that level.
gotta love the video of each projected winner…thanks guys.
