Bonus Points Lift UNC Past No. 8 Arizona State

Posted On: November 17, 2018 TEMPE, Ariz. – Devin Kane’s pin and Jaime Hernandez’s first win as a Tar Heel helped lead No. 24 North Carolina to 20-15 win over No. 8 Arizona State Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena.  
The Sun Devils (1-1) started the day with two straight wins, but Hernandez’s first dual match as a Tar Heel proved to be vital. The 141-pounder was able to collect bonus points for Carolina, picking up six points in the final period for a 12-4 major decision. That was followed by another strong performance from a redshirt freshman, No. 16 Austin O’Connor’s first win over a ranked opponent. His match against No. 11 Josh Maruca came down to the final seconds, but O’Connor was able to hang on to give the Tar Heels the lead.
The two teams traded wins at 157 and 165 – No. 6 Kennedy Monday was able to cruise to an 11-7 decision – but the match’s tipping point came at 174 pounds, where Devin Kane was able to pin Arizona State’s Jacen Petersen. Kane was on his way to a major decision win late in the third period when he was able to grind out a fall with 28 seconds to go, collecting three major bonus points for Carolina (2-0).

Texas Wesleyan welcomes men’s, women’s wrestling

TDR Editor’s Notes;  We love seeing news like this and want to pass it along so as to encourage other colleges, universities, high schools and wrestlers in general.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The holidays just got happier for wrestlers in the Lone Star state, as Texas Wesleyan University just announced it will be adding both men’s and women’s wrestling to its sports roster, the Fort Worth school revealed this week.  The Rams will take to the mats the Sooner Athletic Conference in the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) starting in fall 2019. A search for a head coach is underway, with recruiting expected to begin in early 2019.  Texas Wesleyan’s new intercollegiate mat programs are the first in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex… and only the second in the entire state of Texas at any level to offer scholarships.  “Texas Wesleyan athletics continues to grow every day, thanks to recent successes across several of our sports,” said Ricky Dotson, athletic director. “With Texas having the fastest- growing participation in high school wrestling of any state in the country, adding men’s and women’s teams to our diverse offering is a perfect next step.”  “Wrestling is great addition to our successful athletics program,” said Frederick G. Slabach, president of Texas Wesleyan.  Rest of the story at http://intermatwrestle.com/articles/20811?fbclid=IwAR2Fnu7z0o81XIU23wwFyQ6KNAsW19kb1tuOaMArZzM9IdfTqyV4qemRCi8

Maine adds girls state wrestling tournament for 2019

Add Maine to the growing list of states to announce the addition of an official state wrestling tournament for girls for 2019.  The Maine Principals Association has voted to give final approval for the creation of a girls wrestling state championships to conclude the 2018-19 scholastic wrestling season, USA Wrestling reported this week.

The date and location for the inaugural Maine State Girls Wrestling has already been announced: Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2019 at Penobscot Valley High School in Howland.  “The [wrestling committee] just ran with this because they’ve seen girls wrestling right along, and it seems like they should have this opportunity,” Michael Bisson, Assistant Executive Director of the MPA, told the Bangor Daily News. “They saw that other states have started it and that momentum is growing nationally, so they wanted to get involved.”

Maine is the 14th state to establish a separate girls wrestling state championships, and the eighth to do so for the 2018-19 school year. Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, and Oregon also made the decision to add a separate girls championship in 2018. These eight new states join the six states — Alaska, California, Hawaii, Tennessee, Texas and Washington State — which already had separate state championship competition for girls prior to this year.   Rest of the story at http://intermatwrestle.com/articles/20810?fbclid=IwAR3DWihG7djp1Y6mUKHh_cNakgdgKGE6DMsz6bWxDkwhJcLOPWGCB6MfROk

$1 Million Gift Boosts Wrestling and Lacrosse Scholarships, Supports Athletics Done Right

Lowell Bryan ’68 gives his parents full credit for driving him to become the best student and the best athlete he could be. His father’s sport was baseball, and his mother’s was swimming. Bryan wrestled and played football for Davidson, and his daughter attended Davidson and competed in lacrosse. Now, a new $1 million gift will create scholarships for two of the programs near and dear to Bryan’s heart—$500,000 for the Lyman L. Bryan Wrestling Scholarship and $500,000 for the Louise Bryan Lacrosse Scholarship, in recognition of the influence and dedication of his parents.  These dollars were given as current-use funds to help both programs recruit leading competitors nationally and internationally.  “When we look at most of our programs compared to our conference competitors, we simply don’t have the scholarship dollars,” Bryan said. “I want to get us on the path to really try to make progress, at least in two of our sports. The goal is to fully endow these scholarships I’ve started, so we can work to recruit the very best athletes to Davidson.”  Davidson Athletics is in a category of its own, with 25 percent of the student body competing in Division I sports, while sacrificing nothing in the classroom. Athletic Director Chris Clunie ’06 acknowledges that any college should be careful to call itself unique—but, when it comes to doing athletics right, Davidson is distinctive.  “Nobody in the country is doing what we do,” Clunie said. “Scholarships are undeniably the most important thing to bring the best student athletes—the best students overall—to Davidson. We have to invest on the front end to build our programs.”

Wrestling

Last year, the Davidson wrestling program completed a $250,000 matching gift scholarship campaign. Combined with this new support, alumni, parents and friends of the program have brought in $1 million in a little over a year.  “There are no words great enough to express my gratitude for Lowell Bryan’s support and generosity,” Wrestling Head Coach Andy Lausier said. “This expendable scholarship gift is going to greatly advance the efforts to transform Davidson wrestling into a nationally competitive program. Success on the mat begins with success in recruiting and, thanks to Lowell, we have the resources to win.”  Rest of the story at https://www.davidson.edu/news/news-stories/181113-1-million-gift-boosts-wrestling-and-lacrosse-scholarships?utm_campaign=Regular&utm_content=1542121604&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&mc_cid=23c8b9da21&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

Tar Heels Storm Past Mocs In Dual Opener

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Redshirt freshmen Austin O’Connor and Chasen Blair picked up major decision wins to help lead the No. 24 North Carolina wrestling team to a 23-10 over the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in the team’s first dual of the season Sunday at Maclellan Gym.
Carolina dropped the first three matches of the afternoon before rattling off seven straight wins. O’Connor was able to string together three takedowns in his second period and collect strong riding time throughout the match to beat Tanner Smith, 14-4, and begin UNC’s run.
It was Josh McClure at 165 pounds who tied things up at 10 with a 9-4 win. That was followed by a tight win from Devin Kane at 174, who was able to break a tie and score a late takedown to win, giving the Tar Heels a 13-10 lead that they’d extend the rest of the way.
Blair impressed in his match for Carolina’s second major decision. After a relatively slow first period, he scored a takedown and a four-point near fall to advance to the second period with a 6-0 lead. He finished strong with two takedowns in the third period, winning 13-4 for his first collegiate dual victory.
Head coach Coleman Scott was pleased with the performances of the new faces who took the mat on Sunday, particularly those of O’Connor and Blair.
