Bresser in Finals Tonight - Dhesi Going For 5th!

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

Oregon State has two wrestlers who have survived to the last session of the Midlands and one is in the finals!

Ronnie Bresser moved himself into the finals tonight with some exciting down-to-the-wire scrambling, beating Spencer Lee of Iowa, 3-1, in the semi-finals. You can view the scramble in a flowrestling video that is posted n the Oregon State Twitter feed. Scroll down until you get to a video box in the tweet. Definitely worth watching!!

Amar Dhesi began in the Consolation bracket in the morning, so he has had more matches to wrestle. He won the first by fall and decisioned the second. Unfortunately he got pinned in his third match. That dropped him into the 5th-6th place match that will take place in the final session.

The finals begin at 7 pm CST, 5 pm Pacific.

The two other Beavers wrestling this morning both lost close decisions. If Jack Hathaway and Hunter Willits had managed to win those matches, they also would have placed at Midlands. So close...
