The
Bearcats headed over to Hampton, VA this weekend to wrestle in the 33rd edition
of the prestigious Virginia Duals.
Starting
off on Friday, their first match against No. 10 Virginia Tech ended in a 32-9
loss. The winning bouts came from the nationally ranked duo, Donnie
Vinson and Nate Schiedel. Vinson, ranked no.7 at 149, had a strong win
against Nick Brascetta (No.6). Although previously losing to Brascetta at
the Midlands, Vinson showed dominance with a decision of 6-3. Schiedel
(ranked No.6) showed dominance as well, pinning Derrick Borlie in the second
period, using a bear hug to drive Borlie to the mat.
In
consolation round 1, Binghamton wrestled, and defeated Virginia Military
Institute. The Bearcats won seven out of ten matches against VMI; one
pin, two tech falls, three decisions, and one forfeit ultimately gained them 31
points. Tyler Deuel ended the match with nothing better but a
first-period pin against Michael LaPrade in only 52 seconds.
On Saturday, the team wrestled
North Dakota State. The Bearcats were knocked out of the tournament after
this 12-30 loss. Thanks to a pin by Schiedel and an accepted forfeit by
Vinson, the dynamic duo kept us on the board once again.
