Good evening from Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor. We're teed up for a fun night of wrestling here in Michigan with the Wolverines tangling with Penn State in one of the most highly anticipated duals of the college season. We'll keep you updated throughout the evening with all of the developments from start to finish. 

We'll start tonight at 125 pounds. One lineup change of note: NCAA finalist Stevan Micic is out tonight for the Wolverines. Drew Mattin will wrestle in his place at 141. 

125 pounds: #10 Drew Hildebrandt (Penn State) vs. #1 Nick Suriano (Michigan)

First period: Suriano fires off a double about 30 seconds in and comes up with Hildebrandt’s left leg. He’s trying to finish on the edge and corrals the far leg for two. Now it’s ruled off. Back to the center with no score. Stall warning on Hildebrandt with a minute left in the period. No score at the end of the first. 

Second period: Suriano starts down, sits out, clears the hands and he’s away in eight seconds to go up 1-0. Midway through the period and neither guy has been able to get to the legs since the first Suriano shot of the bout. A couple half shots by Hidlebrandt followed by a Suriano attack and a Hildebrandt reattack, but it remains 1-0 going to the third. 

Third period: Hildebrandt gets to his feet and Suriano returns him. Hildebrandt is up to his feet again and Suriano drives him out for a restart at the 1:34 mark.

Now there’s a little flurry on the edge with Bravo-Young getting to the corner, collecting one leg and then the other while toeing the boundary line with :50 to go in the period.

Third peirod: Massa starts down, gets to his feet, clears the hands and gets away. Starocci is back in immediately and finishes for two. Michigan is challenging that it shouldn’t have been an escape for Massa at the beginning of the sequence.

The call here was just overturned, so it’s back to 3-1 in favor of Starocci. Massa gets up to his feet and away after the restart.
