Results for Duke Dual

The Beavers' first dual of the season on Saturday was with Duke. While we knew the Beavers' won 22-20, we did not have any details. Finally found some here in the article on Duke's Wrestling News page. 

To save you the trouble of looking for it, I have the main body copied here below. One comment - it appears that both teams had a forfeit, so there were only 8 matches. Duke forfeited 125 and OSU forfeited 197.

Winners for the Beavers were: 125 Kegan Calkins - by forfeit, 141 - Joey Palmer by decision, 149 and 157 Joey Delgado and Abe Rodriguez - by decision, 165 Rodney Williams by major decision and 184 Corey Griego by decison. Congratulations to all the match winners!

Here is the article from Duke:

DURHAM, N.C.—The Duke wrestling team mounted a furious comeback, but couldn’t overcome an early deficit in a 22-20 loss to 15th-ranked Oregon State to start the Blue Devils’ dual schedule. The Blue Devils won three of the final four bouts with bonus points in the comeback effort.  

Senior Jacob Kasper continued his perfect start to the year at heavyweight with a third-period pin over David Henry. Kasper has picked up bonus points in three of his six victories and with two of those wins coming by fall.

The Blue Devils trailed 19-3 after six bouts and then picked up five points on a commanding 15-0 technical fall by Connor Bass at 174 pounds. He joins Kasper on the undefeated list with a 6-0 mark with four of those wins earning him bonus points.

After a decision at 184 by Oregon State’s Corey Griego upped the Beavers’ lead to 22-8 and put the match out of reach for the Blue Devils despite getting a forfeit and a fall in the final two bouts.

Also earning his first dual win as a Blue Devil was senior Cole Baumgartner at 133. He edged Devan Turner by a 10-8 decision to improve to 4-2 on the year.

Both Zach Finesilver and Alec Schenk put forth strong showings in their losses to top-20 foes from Oregon State. Schenk fell 7-3 to 14th-ranked Griego, while Finesilver suffered an 11-5 setback to No. 12 Joey Palmer.
