Jackrabbits Leap Over Beavers At the Finish Line

Oregon State Wrestling Fans, 
Ronnie Bresser's match in Gill


Beaver 125 Ronnie Bresser  started the afternoon off in fine fashion picking up his 100th victory with a first period fall. Way to go, Ronnie! The Beavers led 6-0 after that first match, but in the end, the Jackrabbits hopped away with a 19-17 win.

 Meet Details
The Beavers picked up the first three, all by bonus point wins. After Bresser's fall, Kegan Calkins added a major at 133. South Dakota State was without their returning NCAA 133 champ, Seth Gross, who apparently has been injured for most of the season so far.

At 141, Grant Willits won another Major after one of the most exciting matches I've ever seen! It alone was worth the price of admission. I don't know if there is any video out there, but the scrambles were incredible! He seemed at many times to have had the fall, but the referee was never in place to see it.

Then the Beavers hit a rough patch, losing the next three by decision. At 174, Colt Doyle won a dominant victory, trying to secure another Major, but missed it by 2 points, 8-2. That would be the final victory for the Beavers however, as they lost the last three matches.

For more details, check out:

The Beavers now have to step it up to meet even tougher competition, leaving on Tuesday to travel to Fargo for a dual with North Dakota State on Thursday, Dec 20. With the starters in North Dakota, members of the squad may go to the Reno Tournament of Champions (TOC) the same day, Dec 20. It will be a busy week for Beaver wrestling.

Need a Hotel Room for the Pac-12's?
Thanks to FALL Board member Jana Iwasaki for putting together a block of 20 hotel rooms in Tempe, AZ for Oregon State fans attending the Pac-12's. We'd like FALL members to have first crack at these rooms, so for now, if you are interested in a room for $119 night + 14.07% tax mostly double queens), let me know and I can fill you in.

A little later we will make these rooms available for all OSU wrestling fans, if there are any left. Jana said there are a few other options as well, she will be able to fill you in on that.

Again, congratulations to all the Oregon State match winners, 125 - Ronnie Bresser (100 wins!), 133 Kegan Calkins, 141 - Grant Willits and 174 Colt Doyle!

Go Beavs!
