Blue Hose Defeated by Third-Ranked NC State to Start Off Fifth Season
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – The Presbyterian College men’s wrestling squad unwrapped a new campaign on Wednesday night to start the month of November with a juggernaut standing in their way, competing against #3 NC State at a neutral military site dubbed the “Battle at Fort Liberty”. The Wolfpack proved its lofty preseason hype by downing PC 48-0.
All nine wrestlers who suited up for the Blue Hose saw action in the 2022-23 stint (with the program now in its fifth year underneath head coach Mark Cody), although unable to slow NC State on the path to their 28th dual victory since the fall of 2021.
The Battle at Fort Liberty – which also included a bout between Campbell and Army earlier in the evening – was promoted by Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) in partnership with the U.S. Army on an active military installation.
NC State was able to cruise to their fifth consecutive one-on-one win dating back to the spring, ending victorious in 15 out of their past 16 encounters over the last 12 months.
Sophomore Ryan Luna and junior Eli Holiday came the closest to a personal win against a powerhouse foe, both falling by standard decision in a two-point difference (6-4 for the former and 3-1 for the latter). … rest of story … GObluehose.com/2023/11/1/mens-wrestling-blue-hose-defeated-by-third-ranked-nc-state-to-start-off-fifth-season

#29 Campbell defeats Army on UFC Fight Pass to open season, 25-9
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – The Campbell Fighting Camels began the 2023-24 season on UFC Fight Pass winning 7 of 10 bouts on their way to a 25-9 victory over the Army Black Knights in the Battle at Liberty held at Fort Liberty Wednesday evening.
The match was highlighted by Taye Ghadiali‘s win by fall (3:47) over Lucas Stoddard. Caleb Hopkins challenged his teammate for the biggest victory on the night, defeating No. 13 ranked Ben Pasiuk at 184 pounds by major decision, 8-0.
“I was just excited that I got to put on for Campbell, win, and do some big things for UFC Fight Pass,” said Ghadiali. “There was a lot of hype around this event. It feels good to get the first one out with all the jitters and to prepare ourselves for this weekend. Now it’s time to forget about this and start thinking about the next match.”
The evening began with the 157 match. True freshman Chris Earnest faced off against Nate Lukez, ranked #25 on Intermat. After falling behind 6-2 after the first period, Earnest kept it close in the second. With 35 seconds left in the third period, Earnest scored a takedown to make the score 6-5. He accumulated over a minute of ride time throughout the match to give him the extra point needed to push the match to overtime.
Earnest scored the winning takedown just seconds into the overtime period to earn his first collegiate victory, 9-6. “It was pretty nerve-wracking, not going to lie,” Earnest said after the match. “I just tried to take in the whole experience, running out of the plane, the announcers, all of it and just enjoy the experience. Afterwards, getting that win, just amplifies it to the next level.”
Four other Camels recorded wins on the mat. Austin Murphy returned after a year away with a 4-2 win over Gunner Filipowicz. Levi Hopkins scored a 4-point near fall in the third period on way to a 6-0 victory over Danny Lawrence.

DUNN NAMED WRESTLING DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – North Carolina wrestling head coach Rob Koll has announced the addition of Andrew Dunn, joining the Tar Heels as the program’s director of operations.
Dunn arrives in Chapel Hill after spending the past year as an assistant coach and operations assistant with the California Regional Training Center and Cardinal Wrestling Club.
The 2019 NCAA Division II National Champion at 285-pounds, Dunn was a three-time All-America wrestler at Kutztown, also qualifying for the title bout in 2022. During his time at Kutztown, Dunn was a two-time Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Athlete of the Year honoree, as well as being named Kutztown’s Male Athlete of the Year three times.
Prior to arriving at Kutztown, Dunn began his collegiate career at fellow Atlantic Coast Conference member, Virginia Tech, qualifying for the 2018 NCAA Wrestling Championships in Cleveland, Ohio. … rest of story at … GOheels.com/news/2023/10/31/dunn-named-wrestling-director-of-operations
2023-24 North Carolina Preview
The Tar Heels ended the season last year on a high note – crowning Austin O’Connor with his second NCAA title and freshman Lachlan McNeil and sophomore Gavin Kane earning All-American honors, while finishing in 12th place as a team. They return a solid nucleus from last year’s squad that will provide much-needed stability and leadership for a program under new leadership. Previous Head Coach Coleman Scott announced his resignation and returned to his alma mater at Oklahoma State, leading to the return of UNC alum and well-established and successful Head Coach Rob Koll. Koll has shaken up the coaching staff by bringing two coaches with him from Stanford in Enock Francois and Ben Darmstadt. They maintained the consistent leadership of Associate Head Coach Tony Ramos, who has been a lynchpin in the growth of this program. North Carolina will have a much different look to their lineup this year after the graduation of four multi-year starters; Zach Sherman, Austin O’Connor, Clay Lautt, Brandon Whitman and transfer Jack Wagner; we will see some very talented younger Tar Heels taking to the mat. I am very interested to see how the team fares under the leadership of Koll, who has an incredible resume and track record of success across all weight classes.
TOP RETURNERS
Lachlan McNeil navigated a challenging freshman season well; he took some tough losses early in the season but rounded into form before ACC duals. In one of the tougher weights in the ACC, he went 3-2 in duals, falling to All-American Cole Matthews and Ryan Jack. He dropped a tight match to Jack in the ACC semifinals and finished in 3rd. … rest of story at … Intermatwrestle/college/acc/2023-24-north-carolina-preview
2023-24 SoCon Preview (Part Two)
The season kicks off tonight, November 1 at The Battle at Liberty – hosted by Campbell University, streaming on UFC Fight Pass.
Campbell University
The Camels are coming into the ’23-’24 season with a bang – kicking off their dual season with The Battle at Liberty, where they’ll face off against Army. They’ll also likely settle the debate of “who’s America’s team?” In the SoCon preseason poll – five returning members were named to the all-conference team, Shannon Hanna (141), Austin Murphy (174), brothers Caleb (184) and Levi Hopkins (197), and heavyweight Taye Ghadiali, with the program coming out on top in the preseason poll. This schedule is absolutely stacked this season – the Camels head out West to Wyoming where they’ll actually wrestle in a barn. The Fighting Camel Duals will take place in December, where Gore Arena will be host to Purdue, Stanford, and North Dakota State’s programs for an action-packed day of duals. It’ll be a fierce Fight Pass Friday in February when App State travels to The Creek for a dual meet. This conference rivalry has been so fun to watch develop and continue – the wrestling keeps getting better and the energy between these two fan bases is unmatched. The Fighting Camels will also host conference foes Chattanooga to cap off their home dual series. This lineup (if we’re looking at returning starters) is filled with well-seasoned competitors, it’ll be exciting to see how this more mature team matches up with the younger rosters in the conference.
Preseason rankings:
133: Domenic Zaccone (12)
141: Shannon Hanna (23)
174: Austin Murphy (30)
184: Caleb Hopkins (20)
197: Levi Hopkins (27)
HWT: Taye Ghadiali (15)
VMI
Wrestle-offs, intrasquad matches, whichever you prefer to call them, used to be more low-key events. Programs like VMI have gotten creative, hosting their intrasquad match in the barracks. The Keydets are headed into the ’23-’24 season following a 9-8 season, with a 2-6 conference record, picking up victories against Presbyterian and Davidson. Home duals begin at Cormack Hall in November against Limestone and Marymount – DII and DIII program, and will kick off conference competition in January, hosting Chattanooga. The Keydets will see upperweight stars Tyler Mousaw and Josh Evans return to the mat this season, alongside SoCon placewinners Braxton Lewis and Ryan Vigil. Both were freshmen in 2022-23. A crowd favorite is the rivalry between VMI and The Citadel – which will be held in Charleston this year. The Keydets will also be in attendance at the Soldier Salute, hosted by the University of Iowa.
Gardner-Webb
The Runnin’ Bulldogs kick off their season hosting Kent State and Ohio University, the conference season will begin for them in February, when the Chattanooga Mocs travel to Boiling Springs for a SoCon showdown. Gardner-Webb will also host Davidson, The Citadel, and will round off their hosting duties for the season with a dual against VMI. … rest of story at … Intermatwrestle.com/articles.html/college/socon/2023-24-socon-preview-part-two
New Teams for 2023-2024 TDR #31-1
More wrestlers. That is our desire.
Wrestling can be an effective life-changing practice for not only the student-athletes and also the fans. Wrestling can boost school spirit and be a positive force for the campus at large. The strong growth in the number of colleges and universities that are adding wrestling in recent years is encouraging. We pass along the news of new teams as an encouragement to others to join in on the high school and post-secondary levels.
For the 2023-2024 season colleges and universities have announced at least 45 new teams. Over 30 women’s teams will enter competition this fall for the first time. A few schools will stop having wrestling such as Iowa Wesleyan, which closed thus discontinuing both Men’s and Women’s teams. Alderson-Broaddus College in West Virginia closed this fall due to financial difficulties. They had restarted their program ten years back after an over a 30 year absence. Limestone University in South Carolina also dropped their women’s team.
Several schools are making the bold step of adding both Men’s and Women’s teams. They are Blackburn College in Illinois, College of the Redwoods in California, Evergreen State College in Washington, Frostburg State in Maryland, Illinois Wesleyan University, Sioux Falls University in South Dakota, Southeast Community College in Nebraska, Utica University in New York and William Woods University in Missouri. Many other schools with a Men’s program will be adding a Women’s team to their athletic departments.
New Women’s Teams will be started at ; Adams State University in Colorado (Division II), Allen University in South Carolina (D-II), Alma College in Michigan (D-III), Baldwin-Wallace University in Ohio (D-III), Buena Vista University in Iowa (D-III), Cedar Crest College in Pennsylvania (D-III), Centenary College in New Jersey (D-III), Central College in Iowa (D-III), Cornell College in Iowa (D-III), Dickinson State in North Dakota (NAIA), Dubuque University in Iowa (D-III), Grand Valley State in Michigan (D-II), Iowa Lakes Community College (JuCo), University of Iowa (D-I), John Carroll University in Ohio (D-III), Joliet Junior College in Illinois (JuCo), Loras College in Iowa (D-III), Marymount University in Virginia (D-III), Morningside University in Iowa (NAIA), Northland Community & Technical College in Minnesota (JuCo), Southern Virginia University (D-III), SUNY-Alfred State (D-III), and Westcliff University in California (NAIA). D’Youville University in New York (D-II) will become one of a handful of schools that will have a Women’s team but not a Men’s team! We look forward to when they will add that opportunity for wrestlers.
While a majority of new teams are for Women there are some other schools adding or restarting a Men’s Wrestling team. They include Arkansas Community College at Rich Mountain (JuCo), University of Montevallo in Alabama (D-II), Morgan State University in Maryland (D-I), and Saint Vincent College in Pennsylvania (D-III). A majority of the new teams are at NCAA Division III schools that see the benefits of adding sports teams that increase the enrollment of motivated students. Wrestling opportunities are also steadily increasing in Division II and NAIA schools. The increase in Division I schools has been lagging in pace compared to the other divisions. This can not be simply explained away by Title IX or limited budgets or other excuses. The decision is made by athletic directors and administrators who choose to pour more money into ravenous football budgets. Yes, we are biased in favor of wrestling teams and can be cynical in our lack of empathy and understanding for schools who can afford to provide wrestling yet refuse to do so. We hope that more schools will see the wisdom in expanding their sports offerings. This listing could be missing other new programs, and if so, we welcome news about these other new teams.
Elor wins eighth World gold as U.S. Women’s freestyle places fourth, Perez in Greco-Roman repechage
BY SAVANNAH ASMANN, USA WRESTLING
The United States women’s freestyle team finished the U23 World Championships in Tirana, Albania, in fourth place Friday night. Greco-Roman action kicked off and it was gold for Amit Elor.
Elor earned her eighth World gold medal with her win in the finals. She dominated the 72 kg bracket, picking up wins from two pins, a decision and a technical fall in the finals. Elor faced UWW’s Jyoti Berwal in the gold medal match. She spun behind for a takedown, tied up the leg lace and turned her four. Elor spent just 21 seconds on the mat and wins her second-consecutive U23 World Championship gold medal. She has won U20, U23 and Senior World titles for the second straight year.
In her repechage match at 57 kg, Xochitl Mota-Pettis faced off against Alina Filipovich (Ukraine) and advanced to the bronze medal match with a pin in 1:38. Mota-Pettis faced Elvira Kamaloglu (Turkey) for bronze, falling in a close 4-3 decision to place fifth.
Macey Kilty wrestled in the bronze medal match, taking on Monika Monika (UWW). In the match, Monika led Kilty three points to none heading into the break. Kilty scored a takedown on the edge to close the gap, then led 4-3 after she got a low single. Monika got a takedown with 28 seconds left to lead 5-4 over Kilty. She placed fifth at 65 kg.
Greco-Roman action began on Friday morning, with five weights contested. The United States had Phillip Moomey (60 kg), Robert Perez III (67 kg), Justus Scott (72 kg) Tyler Eischens (82 kg) and Cade Lautt (97 kg) on the mat in the first group. Eischens picked up the win in his first match after getting his opponent Kelsi Nelaj (Albania) t his back and pinning him at 1:38. He moved on to the next round and defeated Branko Kovacevic (Serbia) in a 9-3 decision. In the quarterfinals, Eischens fell to Emad Abouelatta (Egypt) in a 11-0 technical fall. Abouelatta dropped his following match, eliminating Eischens from the tournament.
Cade Lautt (97 kg) earned his first round victory by pinning Venezuela’s Juan Diaz Blanco to head into the quarterfinals. He fell to Armenia’s Hayk Khloyan by 8-0 technical fall in a tough match. Khloyan lost in the semifinals, cutting Lautt’s tournament run short.
At 60 kg, Phillip Moomey had a tough first round match against Kazakhstan’s Aibek Sabyrbekov, as his opponent won by 9-0 technical fall. Justus Scott (72 kg) also had a gritty first round, falling to Spain’s Junior Benitez. Both athletes were eliminated from the tournament as their opponents did not advance to the finals. … rest of story at … Themat.com/news/2023/october/27/elor-wins-eighth-world-gold-as-u-s-women-s-freestyle-places-fourth

TIRANA, Albania (October 27) — Japan only sent nine wrestlers, with none of the seven world champions from last year returning, to the U23 World Championships. Yet, it clinched the Women’s Wrestling team title comfortably in Tirana on Friday.
With no entries received at 68kg in the domestic selection trials, Japan was forced to skip that weight in Tirana but the second-string team won five gold and one silver to finish at the top with 159 points. Ukraine finished second with 144 points while the United World Wrestling team was third with 132 points. Out of the five gold medals on offer on Friday, Japan won three with Mako OONO (JPN) winning at 53kg, Sara NATAMI (JPN) winning at 57kg and Yuzuka INAGAKI (JPN) winning the 62kg gold medal. … story at … U23-worlds-japan-clinches-team-title-ringaci-wins-gold
Elor wins eighth world title, sets sights on Paris Olympics
TIRANA, Albania (October 27) — If you were logging in to watch Amit ELOR (USA) compete in the 72kg final of the U23 World Championships, most likely you missed the final. That’s because she was lightning fast in winning the bout in mere 21 seconds. And if you think that was quick, Elor finished her first bout in 16 seconds and the second in 18 seconds. Only her semifinal against Wiktoria CHOLUJ (POL) was for six minutes. Out of the 24 minutes for four bouts, Elor spent only six minutes and 55 seconds on the mat to win the U23 World Championships in Tirana, Albania on Friday.

At the age of 19, Amit Elor now holds an impressive record of eight world titles across different age groups, including two senior, two U23, three U20, and one U17 world gold.
While her remarkable stats speak about her dominance on the mat, Elor herself has kept no record of her international wins or scores. “Maybe I should go over,” she says. “We used to do it in high school. And ever since I got into international wrestling, I haven’t thought about it as much. But it would be really cool to look back and see how many matches they’ve had and how many wins and losses.

Women’s wrestling on track for first NCAA championship in 2026
Oct. 26—Women’s college wrestling is on track to become the 91st NCAA championship, based on sports sponsorship and participation research released earlier this month.
Women’s wrestling was identified as one of six emerging sports along with acrobatics and tumbling, equestrian, rugby, stunt and triathlon.
The NCAA recognizes an emerging sport as a women’s sport that is intended to help schools provide more athletics opportunities for women, while helping that sport achieve championship status. Legislative bylaws require that emerging sports gain championship status within 10 years or show steady progress to remain on the list.
More than 40 schools sponsored women’s wrestling at the varsity level and met the sport’s minimum competition and participant requirements in the 2022-23 academic year. Oklahoma State wrestling coach John Smith said in 2021 that the school was “in talks” to add a women’s wrestling program.
Six other sports have earned NCAA championship status through the emerging sports program; rowing (1996), ice hockey (2000), water polo (2000), bowling (2003) and beach volleyball (2015). The Committee on Women’s Athletics anticipates making a recommendation at its February meeting to sponsor legislation to add a national women’s college wrestling championship, the NCAA said in a news release. “If this recommendation is made, the projected timeline to add a women’s wrestling championship is for each division to sponsor a proposal for the 2024-25 legislative cycle and vote on the proposals before or during the 2025 NCAA Convention,” the release reads. “If adopted, the first women’s wrestling championship would be held in winter 2026.”
In the 2022-23 academic year, 51 teams reported sponsoring women’s wrestling, a 12-school uptick from the year prior. Division III accounted for 30 schools in the 2022-23 sponsorship data, followed by 19 in Division II and two in Division I.
“What women’s wrestling has accomplished in a short period of time is exceptional. They are a model practice on how to move the needle forward,” said Ragean Hill, chair of the Committee on Women’s Athletics and executive associate athletics director/senior woman administrator at Charlotte. “The CWA is excited that young women will have another championship sport to participate in at the collegiate level and while pursuing their education. I can’t wait to witness the sport’s first NCAA championship.”
Lee Roy Smith, executive director of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, provided his comments about the sport now moving forward toward an official NCAA Championship.
“The National Wrestling Hall of Fame is encouraged for the pioneering impact women will experience with a NCAA Wrestling Championship of their own,” he said. “Such opportunities at the collegiate level are sure to spur additional growth in youth wrestling across the USA … rest of story at … Sports.yahoo.com/womens-wrestling-track-first-ncaa
Beating Army Is Priority #1 At U.S. Naval Academy
Reaching the podium at nationals and winning conference titles are important at Navy — as long as you beat Army
Ask Navy wrestling coach Cary Kolat about facing Army and his demeanor changes. If there was a pecking order of importance, it might look like this:
• Beat Army;
• Fight hard;
• Become a leader
For the alumni, the biggest and most important thing for them is beating Army every single year,” said Kolat, who is in his fourth year at the Academy in Annapolis, Md. “They will let you know if you drop the ball on that one. After that, they’re concerned about the guys competing and always fighting — even if they’re outmatched. They want to see a wrestler in a Navy singlet fight and then they’re concerned about the leadership side that was taught to them before they leave here.
“Beating Army is a big deal. It’s the entire school at every sport. It’s by design. I’ve wrestled my entire life. I’ve been in some big dual meets as a competitor and as a coach. This one is different from anything you can imagine. It’s designed for two military forces to keep each other sharp.”
Greco-Roman Olympian John Stefanowicz took it a step further. Stefanowicz — a proud Marine — was recently commissioned to the U.S. Naval Academy and was on hand for Navy’s wrestle-offs.
The event was held side-by-side with Air Force versus Navy boxing matches. The matchups were held in conjunction with the Air Force-Navy football game the following day. It’s nice to beat another service academy but, for Navy, it’s all about beating Army.
Good luck getting Stefanowicz to say something complimentary about Army. Even he admits his views about the rivalry are extreme. “The Army-Navy matchup is at the forefront of everyone’s minds,” he said. “It’s nice to beat Air Force but Air Force is irrelevant. It’s about beating Army. I’ll gladly take a pay cut and stay a Marine than take a promotion in the Army.”
Known as the Star Match, the Army-Navy rivalry, which will close out the upcoming regular season, on Feb. 16 in Annapolis, is the prototype of how wrestling can thrive. Build such a strong and deep-seated rivalry that it doesn’t matter how good the action is.
The boxing matches were mediocre at best, but that had no bearing on the enthusiasm of the crowd. The entire facility erupted when a Midshipman got the better of a Cadet. The action is secondary to the outcome.
“We couldn’t have a conversation right now if Army was boxing Navy,” Stefanowicz said. “This entire place would be wall-to-wall people. You couldn’t move.”
Navy holds an all-time 55-10-5 dual record against Army, … rest of story at … Flowrestling.org/Beating-army-is-priority-1-at-us-naval-academy
