Josh Wilson Wins Third NCAA Regional Championship While Earning Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Tournamen
Danville, VA – Josh Wilson became a three-time NCAA Regional Champion on Saturday as he defeated two nationally ranked wrestlers in the 141lb weight class on his way to the title. Wilson was also named the Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Regional tournament for the third time.
On day one, Wilson handily defeated Chase Kyler (Thiel) and Mauricio Reyes (Averett) to advance to the semifinals. On Saturday, Wilson wrestled long time rival Mark Samuel from Roanoke, and the two put on a classic showdown to remember. Wilson and Samuel would go all three rounds as Wilson took home the win by Decision, 13-10. The two most recently met at the ODAC Championships and at last year’s NCAA National Tournament, as Wilson won both matches.
In the championship round, Wilson took on #1 ranked Jacob Reed of Ohio Northern. Reed has been the #1 nationally ranked wrestler in the 141lb class almost all season long. Wilson last faced Reed in the NCAA Championship final round last season, as Wilson defeated Reed to win the National Title. Wilson would once again get the best of Reed on Saturday, winning by Decision, 7-3 to win his third NCAA Regional Championship.
Afterwards, Wilson said, “It was a great tournament, and I’m proud of my performance. I’m grateful for my coaching staff, athletic training staff, and teammates for their support in helping me accomplish this feat. But my ultimate goal is to be the most dominant wrestler at the NCAA tournament and win another National Title. My job is not finished.” Wilson will now go for back-to-back National Championships in the 141lb weight class in Providence, Rhode Island March 14th-15th.

Isaiah Manning, Ethan Kring, and Adrian Soto-Perez also made it to day two of the Regionals. … more at … https://greensborocollegesports.com/news/2025/3/1/mens-wrestling-josh-wilson-wins-third-ncaa-regional-championship-while-earning-most-outstanding-wrestler-of-the-tournament.aspx
Nicolosi wins regional; UMO features three qualifiers
Results
PEMBROKE, N.C. (March 1) – The University of Mount Olive men’s wrestling program qualified three wrestlers for the NCAA National Championships following their performance at the NCAA Super Region II Championships held on the campus of UNCP on Saturday.
The Trojans tallied 92 points in the team standings behind five wrestlers with top-four finishes while competing on the regional stage. Lander won a third-straight NCAA Regionals with 157 points following eight wrestlers qualifying for nationals. UNC Pembroke (117 points) placed second overall with a trio of qualifiers and Newberry rounded out the top three behind 109.5 points.
Senior Jake Nicolosi became the second-ever in program history to claim an individual regional championship at Mount Olive. Competing at 157, he produced an unblemished 4-0 record to capture the crown and clinch his spot as a national qualifier. In the opening round, Nicolosi posted a 15-0 tech fall over Malachi Thomas of Limestone before defeating Dennis Virelli of Newberry via a 14-3 major decision. He followed up with a 10-4 decision over No. 2 seed Keegan Roberson of UNC Pembroke to earn his spot in the championship. In the title bout, Nicolosi got his revenge and battled to an 11-7 decision versus top-seeded Trent Mahoney of King.
In the 165-weight class, freshman Brent Nicolosi entered as the No. 2 seed and finished as the runner-up in his first regional appearance. After a first-round bye, he pinned Samuel Daniels of Limestone before a dominant 16-0 tech fall against William Lowery of UNCP to reach the championship. Nicolosi faced off against No. 1 ranked David Hunsberger of Lander and despite an excellent performance fell via a 7-6 decision. Brent will join brother Jake as a national qualifier in what has been an outstanding season for the tandem.

NC State Aiming To Continue ACC Wrestling Mastery
NC State has captured the last six ACC wrestling titles and the Wolfpack are looking to keep that run going against a highly competitive field this weekend.
College wrestling’s postseason is finally here.
After four months of chatter about developments leading to March, the time has arrived — and it’s time for the NC State Wolfpack to compete at the ACC Championships.
NC State will go into the event as the reigning six-time champions, raising the team title trophy at the ACC Championships every year dating back to 2019. “As you hit the postseason, it becomes more about the individual accomplishments and their personal goals, which of course bleed into the team aspect,” NC State coach Pat Popolizio said. “You want to see guys finish out and accomplish their goals, and right now as we head towards March there are two opportunities left, starting with ACCs.”
If you go strictly by seeds — which are a result of ACC dual results — this year’s Wolfpack squad will look a lot different from last year’s, which set a school record for team points (116), individual ACC titles (seven), and had the largest margin of victory at the event (29.5 points over second-place Virginia Tech) since 2007.
NC State posted a 5-1 record in ACC duals to finish tied atop the conference standings for the sixth time in the last eight years. Unlike last year, however, the Pack won’t have eight of their 10 wrestlers seeded second or better. “We have seen guys lose in dual meets but then come right back and have a really good showing come ACCs and leading into NCAAs,” Popolizio said. “There is still a lot of wrestling left. Just in the last few days right after coming back from Virginia Tech, we saw some guys respond very well. We have a lot of motivated guys in that room.”
Popolizio and his staff know how to bring back hardware from the one-day ACC event. “We have got to show up, compete, be aggressive, and score points,” Popolizio said. “We have to reverse some results that we let slip away in duals. This year is set up to be a nail-biter among quite a few teams, it is really pretty even across the board. “I think it comes down to who wants it more. There are going to be a lot of tight, close matches, it is going to be exciting. It comes down to who is willing to go out there and take some risks to get their hand raised.”
Since the 2015-16 season, NC State has won seven ACC Championships … more at … https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/13870760-nc-state-aiming-to-continue-acc-wrestling-mastery
Save Cleveland State Wrestling News

“The Need to Protect Vulnerable College Programs – I want to take a moment to extend a heartfelt thanks to the Northeast Ohio wrestling and business community and CSU wrestling alums for their relentless efforts to save the Cleveland State Wrestling program.

Sen. Bernie Moreno questions Cleveland State’s decision to cut wrestling program
COLUMBUS, Ohio – U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno is questioning Cleveland State University President Laura Bloomberg over the school’s decision to eliminate its wrestling program, which he described as “disquieting.” Moreno wrote in a Wednesday letter that participation in boys and girls wrestling is increasing at the high school level, and college wrestling is popular in Northeast Ohio.
“Thus, the decision-making behind your office’s elimination of the Cleveland State University’s men wrestling program caused me a great deal of pause,” Moreno wrote. “On behalf of my constituents, I would like to have an open and thorough discussion on this matter as many Ohioans, myself included, found this decision disquieting.” Moreno’s spokeswoman confirmed he sent the letter, which was released Thursday by Save Cleveland State Wrestling … more at … https://www.cleveland.com/news/2025/02/sen-bernie-moreno-questions-cleveland-states-decision-to-cut-wrestling-program.html

Big Ten Weekly Recap (2/27/2025)
Iowa wins in Carver – The Hawkeyes came out on top Sunday night in the highly anticipated grudge match between Iowa and Oklahoma State. In addition to the traditional rivalry, we had the added excitement of subplots like Brands v Gilman, David Taylor as the new coach, the Cowboys recently supplanting Iowa as the second-ranked team in the country, and a slew of great matchups. We also had the added intrigue of true freshman Angelo Ferrari having the opportunity to battle against NCAA Finalist Dustin Plott. That’s exciting on its own, but pair that with the fact that he’s in a battle in his own room for the starting spot in the lineup, and now it has additional implications. Or certainly could at least. If you’re a Hawkeye fan, you’ve got to be excited about the future of this squad, paired with how good Teemer looked, for potential NCAA implications. On their best days, this Iowa team could have five finalists (133, 149, 157, 165, 197), which is a lot to be excited about and certainly enough for a trophy at the end of March.
Michigan > CMU > MSU – In the battle for the mitten, the University of Michigan reigns supreme in the 2024/2025 season. Last weekend the Wolverines dispatched the Spartans, and this Friday CMU beat MSU in Mount Pleasant to start their weekend. Next up was their trip to Ann Arbor on Sunday evening. The Chippewas began hot and had the lead 11-8 headed into 165, but that’s where their momentum stopped and the Wolverines took over. Beau Mantanona got a first-period pin at 165, followed by his brother Brock bumping up to 174 and upsetting Alex Cramer, who was ranked seventh in the country at the time. That’s a huge win for a true freshman bumping up a weight class, and helped continue the momentum for the Wolverines. 31-11 was the final score in what was a hard-fought and fun dual to see in person.
Ethen Miller is undefeated headed into B1Gs – Maryland finished off their season with a win over Drexel to the score of 23-13. Maryland had a solid season, with a dual win over the Wolverines a couple of weeks back, paired with some strong individual performances. Braxton Brown at 133 only has two losses on the season, and has shown the ability to compete with the best in the country. Additionally, Ethen Miller has ended his regular season at 20-0 and 7-0 in the B1G. … more at … https://intermatwrestle.com/articles.html/college/big-10/big-ten-weekly-recap-2272025-r100055/
NCAA wrestling award standings update for the 2025 season
INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA has released updated standings for the 2025 NCAA Wrestling Awards that will be awarded in March at the respective Division I, II and III Wrestling Championships. The inaugural NCAA Wrestling Awards were presented at the 2012 wrestling championships. The three awards, given in each division, honor the Most Dominant Wrestler as well as the student-athletes that have accumulated the most falls and the most technical falls throughout the course of the regular and postseasons. 🤼 MORE COLLEGE WRESTLING 🤼 🚨 Alerts and updates on Bleacher Report🎥 Wrestling on YouTube 🍎 Follow on Apple News
For results to be counted for the awards, they must come against opponents in the same division (i.e., Division II vs. Division II). Ties in the falls and tech falls categories are broken based on the aggregate time. This week features the fourth standings of the Most Dominant Wrestler award, which features a 17-match minimum to qualify for the standings. The Most Dominant Wrestler standings are calculated by adding the total number of team points awarded through match results and dividing that number by the total number of matches wrestled. Points per match are awarded as follows.
* Fall, forfeit, injury default or DQ = 6 points (-6 points for a loss)
* Tech falls = 5 points (-5 points for a loss)
* Major decision = 4 points (-4 points for a loss)
* Decision = 3 points (-3 points for a loss)
In Division I, there was no movement at the top as Oklahoma State heavyweight Wyatt Hendrickson continues to lead the most dominant rankings. In falls, Lehigh’s Kelvin Griffin extended his lead to three with 18 in 53:45. In tech falls, Penn State’s Mitchell Mesenbrink picked up one to widen his lead to two with 15 in 78:48.
With Division II and III regionals coming up this weekend, rankings for those divisions stayed mostly static this week. The most dominant wrestler in Division II at 184 pounds is Ty McGeary from West Liberty. At 5.22 points per match, McGeary has led three straight weeks. … more at … https://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/article/2025-02-26/ncaa-wrestling-award-standings-update-2025-season

Big 12 Weekly Recap (2/18/2025)
This week saw some great under-the-radar duals from the Big 12, with a handful coming down to the last match. Northern Colorado and Iowa State both hand nailbiters and came out on top. Wyoming wrapped up one of their best dual seasons in recent history. Oklahoma didn’t have as many duals but finished with their best winning percentage since 2014. Not to be outdone, Northern Iowa has matched their most dual wins since 2014 and could match their 1988 season with 14 wins.
Notable Results:
Friday (2/14): Full Results
Wyoming over Air Force (27-9)
141: Carter Nogle Dec. #33 Cole Brooks (6-3)
After a 4-7 start to the season, true freshman Nogle is quietly 11-2 in his last thirteen matches and scored a ranked win here. With a bonus rate of 52% and 13 falls on the season, he could be a sleeper to look out for in March.
Northern Colorado over Utah Valley (22-21)
141: #2 Andrew Alirez Maj. #18 Haiden Drury (12-3)
While there weren’t too many notable results individually, this dual came down to the wire in an entertaining matchup. Starting at 133, Northern Colorado reeled off four consecutive wins to build a 16-0 lead. Utah Valley won three of their own before another UNCO bonus point win at 197 and a UVU win at heavyweight. Coming down to 125, Bridger Ricks put up an 18-3 tech but wasn’t able to get the fall in a wild conference matchup.
