Match Highlights
- Oneonta rolled out to a 20-0 lead following back-to-back major decisions at 141 and 149. Martin broke up the shutout with a first-period fall at 157, taking Florin to the mat early in the match and putting his shoulders down at 1:45.
- Larson followed Martin with a victory at 165. He trailed Marrone 1-0 entering the final period, but after scoring an escape to even the score, the Gettysburg junior turned the tide with a big takedown and near-fall to take a 7-1 lead. Larson added the riding time point for an 8-1 win.
- Roskos and Shields turned in an evenly-contested battle at 174. After two scoreless periods, Shields managed a quick escape and takedown to start the final frame. The Red Dragon grappler was bloodied in the exchange and Roskos took advantage of a lengthy break to score a reversal to pull to 3-2. Shields jumped out of the hold and added the riding time point for a 5-2 win.
