149 consy: Tyler Kasak vs. Drew Roberts, Minnesota

First period
There was some early posturing and then Kasak catches Roberts and throws him to his back briefly for a six-point throw and a 6-0 lead. He gets up under Roberts' arm and starts turning him with 30 seconds left in the period. He's tightening up under the chin but can't get the fall. He does get four nearfall points for a 10-0 lead after one.

Second period
Kasak did some work for turning combinations but couldn't get it, and Roberts escapes with 19 seconds left. Kasak already has the riding time point assured, however, with 2:34 in RT and just two minutes to wrestle.

Third period
Kasak down to start. He gets out and around for a reversal and a 12-1 lead. He cuts Roberts to 12-2. Roberts gets a takedown suddenly to 12-5. Kasak is out to 13-5. With 2:30 in riding time, Kasak wins 14-5.

Kasak md. Roberts, 14-5.

@GregPickel -- we may run into 2 matches at the same time, as Mesenbrink and Starocci are in the hole. Mesenbrink's mat is a little ahead, and who knows what will happen in the on-deck matches. But prepared to handle Starocci. If things change, I'll post about it

Edit: Teemer - Swensen going to OT may have given us time between the Mesenbrink and Starocci matches -- we'll see

Kasak md. Roberts, 14-5.
FWIW, If I remember correctly Kasak lost to Roberts last year wrestling for the NLWC in an open tournament as a HS Sr. Roberts had already been in the Minnesota program for a few years at that point. That’s how much Kasak has improved in a year in the PSU room. He not only caught up with Roberts, he now majored him.

Thoughts on these Cornell Big Red singlets? I think I like them but I'm not used to them.
