Spencer Lee vs Zach Sanders

1st period: We're starting out with one of the biggest names in all of wrestling, two-time NCAA champ (and likely three-timer if NCAAs didn't get canceled this year) Spencer Lee versus Zach Sanders. A small crowd as per covid but they are all cheering for Spencer right now. A quick single-leg turns into two for Lee. Two gut wrenches and its 6-0. Sander shoots a double, Spencer counters with a whip over pancake, and Sanders is on his back! It's a pinfall for Spencer Lee in the first!

Austin DeSanto vs Bryce Meredith

1st period: Two falls in two matches, we are off and running. Time for one of the most anticipated bouts of the night. DeSanto doesn't have a lot of freestyle experience but he is a fan favorite. DeSanto was in a shot early but it was stalemated. Snap down by Meredith and DeSanto is out of position. Meredith gets two turns from this sequence, bent leg and claw ride got two turns for Meredith and he takes a 4-0 lead. DeSanto shoots in, but it's Meredith who gets the points on a go-behind. He leads 6-0, and that's how the period ends. 

2nd period: Heavy hands but no score in the first minute. Now DeSanto in on a shot. Meredith rolls him through again. But the points are awarded to DeSanto! Oh no, they're changed to Meredith, who initiated the move, at least as far I can tell. We'll go to a review to settle it. And the challenge from DeSanto's corner's challenge fails so it's one more point for Meredith. Now DeSanto in on a shot, and he'll finish for his first points of the match. It's 9-2. They go out of bounds in par terre and Meredith gets hit with caution and one for fleeing. They go back to par terre. No turns, back to neutral with less than a minute to go. DeSanto shoots, Meredith turns him again to run the score to 11-3. One point from a tech with precious few seconds left. And that's how it ends. Meredith's superior freestyle gives him the dominant win, 11-3.

However, Eierman manages to get his hips on top and lock his legs. The officials rule 2 points for Eierman, but we've got a challenge from Khinche's corner. And it is overruled, so the score is back to 0-0. Eierman gets put on the shot clock and fails to score so Vlado gets on the board first.

2nd period: Eierman comes out swinging in the second with and early blast double and blows right through Khinche. Eierman keeps up the pace this time with more of a low double and scores another takedown, he now leads 4-1. 1:45 left and now it's Khinche on a shot, but he can't finish and it's stalemated. Another shot from Vlado with 45 seconds to go, but again it's stalemated. Eierman still leads 4-1. And that's how the match will end. Eierman with an impressive 4-1 victory over an Olympic champion.
