Top 12 Upsets Of Week 14 In College Wrestling

It's late in the season, so that means ranked guys are starting to solidify their spots and seeds for conference tournaments, right? Wrong, there are still plenty of upsets going around.

Here are our top 12 from week 14 in Division I wrestling.

12) Brent Moore, Virginia Tech 3-2 over #18 AC Headlee, UNC

Moore's biggest win of the year comes at a great time: just a few weeks before ACCs. It was one of several upsets the Hokies pulled on senior night.

11) Rayvon Foley, Michigan State 7-1 #15 Luke Welch, Purdue

The brightest spot on this year's Spartans team is likely Foley, who slyly adds to the already insane depth of 125 in the Big Ten.

10) Kimball Bastian, Utah Valley 2-1 #13 Yoanse Mejias, Oklahoma

The biggest upset in Utah Valley's win over Oklahoma, which the Wolverines did without the services of Taylor LaMont.

9) Eric Schultz Nebraska 8-5 over #13 Kevin Beazley, Nebraska

Sometimes the week after you beat #5 Cash Wilcke you lose to unranked Eric Schultz.

8) Garrett Hammond, Drexel 7-3 over #11 BJ Clagon, Rider

Garrett Hammond's comeback grows stronger by the week and has been a pleasant surprise this year for Drexel, one of the nation's most interesting teams this season.

7) Sammy Colbray, Iowa State 5:22 fall #11Nate Rotert, South Dakota St

Colbray has now won four of his last five matches, including now a pin over Rotert, who has been consistently ranked in the top 15 for two years now.

6) Carter Happel, Iowa 6:58 #10 Tommy Thorn Minnesota

Happel's pin was by far his best collegiate performance to date and may have cemented him as the starter. It also further throws Thorn, an All-American last year, into question as to where he stands this year.

5) Hunter Bolen, Virginia Tech 14-6 #10 Ethan Ramos UNC

One of several key upsets the Hokies pulled on the day, true freshman Bolen took out the former All-American Ramos by a major.

4) Randall Diabe, App State 3-2 over #9 Scottie Boykin, Chattanooga

Diabe likely had the biggest Southern Conference win of the year and guaranteed App State at least a share of the SoCon dual title.

3) Zach Krause, Brown 7-4 over #8 Matt Kolodzik, Princeton

Though it was not the final match of the dual, Krause's win would ultimately propel Brown to the dual win over Princeton. The win avoided Krause from falling to a .500 record.

2) Ryan Blees, Virignia Tech 3-1SV over #6 Troy Heilmann, UNC

Guess this means we'll be seeing a lot more of Blees at 149 for the Hokies. His win over Heilmann also make things interesting at the ACC tournament if 149 only gets two qualifying spots.

1) Antony Cassar, Penn State 6-3 over #1 Kollin Moore, Ohio State

This was an easy choice for top upset of the week. Moore is the fourth (technically fifth with Nolf) #1 to go down this season, and Cassar's two takedowns helped propel Penn State to its 43rd consecutive dual meet victory.
