Central Michigan and Northern Colorado Duals

[Big Bird]

NDSU gets underway shortly at Central Michigan before returning to the SHAC this weekend to take on Northern Colorado.

NDSU is favored in both duals, but there are several interesting matches.

CMU dual is on ESPN + and starting any minute http://www.espn.com/watch/_/id/0c9f2...ntral-michigan

Fleetwood gets a forfeit in his return to CMU. Disappointing. Hildebrandt, their normal 125, is their second best wrestler and is #22 in the initial coaches panel rankings

[Big Bird]

Sykora leads 6-1 after two periods and has RT locked up.

Cam chooses down.

Perez appears notably bigger than Cam.

[Big Bird]

Cam gets the major decision and wins 10-2.

10-0 NDSU

Degen loses 5-4 at 141

Big match here for Van Maanen. Simon is solid, but Cam beat him last year. If Van Maanen is to get an extra spot for the B12 in the NCAA tourney, need to win this

[Big Bird]

Van Maanen takes a slow shot and gets pancaked for 6. 10-3 after the first period behind 3 takedowns...Awful period

[Big Bird]

Van Maanen with a takedown at the end of the second to close it to 10-6. Simon wisely chooses neutral. Van Maanen needs a takedown so he can go to work on top

[Big Bird]

Van Maanen loses 13-9. He just didn't have enough time to recover from a bad first period.

10-6 NDSU.

Parks is #21 in the coaches panel rankings. A win for Weber here would be huuuuuge for his NCAA tourney hopes.
