Kolodzik tops crowd favorite Finesilver in finale at NWCA All-Star Classic
DENVER — Top-ranked Matt Kolodzik of Princeton spoiled Mitch Finesilver’s return to his home state of Colorado. Kolodzik rolled to a 12-7 victory at 149 pounds over the Duke senior in the final match of the NWCA All-Star Classic on Friday night in Denver, Colo.
Kolodzik, a third-place finisher at last year’s NCAAs, built a 9-0 lead midway through the second period, but Finesilver battled back, scoring a late second-period takedown to cut the deficit to six. The two would trade takedowns in the final period, with Finesilver scoring the final one with 20 seconds remaining, but it was too little too late. At 141 pounds, second-ranked Joey McKenna (Ohio State) topped No. 5 Kaid Brock (Oklahoma State) 11-4 in a battle of two-time All-Americans at 141 pounds. After a back-and-forth first period, McKenna led 5-4 after the opening period. The Buckeye senior broke the match open in the second with a four-point nearfall. He added an escape and riding time point to win by seven.
