#9 Sam Latona Knocks Off #3 Vito Arujau
Virginia Tech's 9th ranked Sam Latona took out #3 Vito Arujau in a CKLV rematch.

Virginia Tech's 9th ranked 133-pounder, Sam Latona, just pulled off the biggest win of his season. The 16-4 All-American took out Cornell's #3 Vito Arujau in a rematch of this season's Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational semifinals.
In Arujau and Latona's first meeting, Vito used a first-period feet-to-back move to put the contest out of reach. He ultimately won the bout 6-1. In the rematch, Latona worked for a high crotch in the opening period which ended up being enough for a 3-2 decision.
