Sure would be nice to avenge our Midlands loss to Rider.

At 125 – Either Boston or Larson should win vs Dickson orDel Vinas
At 133 - Earl should win, but McGuire appears to be prettygood
At 141 - Meeks or Dante should win
At 149 - Gabe should be able to win vs DePalma, but he ispretty good
At 157 – Nardo or Logan will have their work cut out againstIan Miller
At 165 – Tanner should win vs Buckwater
At 174 – Lelund should win against Vollant
At 184 – Dane will have a good match against Baxter, butcould win it
At 197 – Harrington should have a good match against Conel,but could win it
At Hwt - Quean shouldhave a decent chance against Nye

I only see 157 as a big underdog

 

[Judoka]

I can look at the matchups and just as easily say we'll win by 24-7 as I can we'll lose 12-24, lots of guys with similar records going at it. I can't see us winning 157 short of a freak pin, and I can't see us losing 165 or 174 short of a freak pin. Other than that every match looks to be competitive. I think we've got the edge in a lot of those, but we've laid a couple eggs this year.

 

[Judoka]

Have a preview of today's duals.


And it looks like Kent vs. George Mason is on Mat 3, for anybody watching on Flo. Probably a safe bet that they'll keep all of our pool's matches on that mat.

 

[Judoka]

Might be a dumb question but will they start at 125?

First set of duals are starting at 125 so they must not have drawn for starting weight.

 

[Judoka]

That 133 pounder for George Mason gave McGuire a really good match. I hope Hall is ready to go against him and not looking ahead to McGuire.

 

[Judoka]

Kent beats George Mason 32-6. We're up against George Mason now and Kent in about two hours.

 

[Judoka]

8-4 win for Larson to start us off. Went up 8-1 in the first but then didn't score again.

 

[Judoka]

Stop me if you've heard this one. But Hall let's his guy up and then doesn't get another takedown. Hall isn't going to AA this year and it is going to be 100% his own fault.

 

[Judoka]

8-3 win for Hall. ISU up 6-0 after two matches.

 

[Judoka]

15-7 win for Meeks to put ISU up 10-0 over George Mason after three matches.

 

[Judoka]

Second period pin for Moreno at 149 and ISU is up 16-0. 157 up next and is George Mason's only ranked wrestler.

 

[Judoka]

Breitenbach goes down 4-9. Flourney beat Nardo 2-6 at Midlands so again the weight remains unsettled. ISU up 16-3 halfway through.

 

[Judoka]

The Virginia Duals webpage figured out the secret to a persistent link on Track if anybody wants results.

 

[Judoka]

17-2 Tech fall for Weatherman. ISU up 21-2. George Mason had a team point deducted for throwing headgear. I as on mobile until just now so I'm not sure what match that was in.

 

[Judoka]

10-2 win for Weatherspoon. ISU up 25-2 with three matches left.

 

[Judoka]

Weatherman's match just got updated to a DQ. So ISU is up 26-2 instead of 25-2

 

[Judoka]

15-2 win for Pestano. ISU up 30-2 with two matches left.

As I've said before, if Downey can take the spot from Pestano that's a really good sign. Pestano is an NCAA qualifier if he stays in the lineup, maybe even a win or two if he got a good draw.

 

[Judoka]

First period pin for Harrington. ISU up 36-2.

 

[Judoka]

12-5 win for Smith at HWT and ISU takes the dual 39-2.
