I guess it went about as expected, couple of notes:

- Best Match was 149 vs Edinboro. Lugo got a reversal and a takedown and I think got ridding time over a minute. Solomon looked tired and in trouble. Then with about 20 second left, Chishko really turned it on - he pushed the action, got a stall warning against Lugo, and then finally a takedown with 1 second left. Take down was borderline, reviewed, but upheld. Then Chishko used his reach and scored fairly quickly to win in OT. Crowd was loud and it was a great match to see in person.
- Sal provided a lot of drama (maybe unnecessarily) against Edinboro. Looked like if he had stayed in good position he could have taken guy down at will. Instead Sal gets thrown to his back on one of his shots, ridden hard, cradled up, and is down big. Once he finally escaped, he got a quick take down, ride out, take down from neural in 3rd, and then hit his bow and arrow in the 3rd to take the lead back.
- Joey’s match against a tough Edinboro was typical Joey. Got his 1 slide-by, rode hard, and got a 1 take down win. His VMI match was surprisingly tough.
- 133 appears to be a downgrade from last year for a weight we didn’t qualify for NCAA’s.
- I though the 165 looked good on his feet against a good opponent, but still almost got majored.
