Some of the top-ranked individuals collided in this morning’s semifinal session at the Southern Scuffle. Tonight will be a clash of titans!

Highlights from the semi’s included dominating performances from Jordan Oliver who tech-falled Chris Villalonga, and David Taylor, who blanked Tyler Caldwell, 10-0.

Air Force’s Cole Von Ohlen took it to returning NCAA finalist Dylan Ness, 10-5. And NCAA Champ, Steve Bosak used riding time to edge the ever-tough Kevin Steinhaus, 2-0.

But it wasn’t all bad news for the Gophers, who saw Logan Storely pin Penn State’s Matt Brown, in a much-anticipated bout between the two contending teams. Later, Minnesota’s reigning National Champ, Tony Nelson, won a fun bout with redshirting All American, Nick Gwiazdowski, 4-1.

In the team race, Penn State still leads with 150.5pts. Oklahoma St. (130pts) has a narrow lead on Minnesota (127.5) for 2nd. Cornell is 4th with 117pts.

Those top four teams combined to put 14 of 20 finalists in tonight’s main event.
