The first day of the EIWA Conference Championships were all about bonus points and scrap-tastic wins.
The first day of the EIWA Conference Championships were all about bonus points and scrap-tastic wins. Gabe Dean did his normal hammer-meets-nail thing to lead Cornell into the second day of competition with the lead. But outside of Dean's dominance, we had some gutsy wins, great displays of top wrestling and just a few tricks.
Check out our best matches from the first day of the EIWA tournament. And take a look at all of the results from day one on FloArena.
Tune in LIVE Saturday morning for the semifinals at 10am ET.
