174: Carter Starocci vs. No. 8 Adam Kemp, Cal Poly

First period
Kemp shoots quickly and gets the first takedown of the match for a 3-0 lead. Immediately throws legs in on Starocci's right leg right on his knee. Starocci is out though to 3-1 at the 2:23 mark. Starocci is in on a single that he converts into a double on the edge and gets the takedown there for a 4-3 lead with 1:16 left to wrestle in the first period. Starocci starts a ride with legs in looking for a turning combination. He cannot get one before the period ends.

Second period
Starocci is out in seven seconds to 5-3. The period ends with no further scoring.

Third period
They start the third period neutral. Stall warning on Kemp. Kemp shoots on a double but Starocci catches him with underhooks and they scramble with Starocci getting a front headlock in and they call a stalemate. Starocci called for stall warning but it doesn't matter. He wins, 5-3.

Starocci d. Kemp, 5-3

I am not sure this version of Carter can win but he is at least giving it everything
Best thing is, he can get a good night sleep before facing Lewis so he will be as fresh as can be , Lewis won 5-2 over 15 seed.

Jeff missed two thirds of Carter's match and then didn't have the correct period when he found it. I say this every year: Jeff needs a spotter with him for tournaments so that he doesn't miss so much of the action!

Carter will hold on for a 5-3 win there. So far Carter looks like he hasn't really tested the leg and kind of on cruise control. I am hoping he is just doing enough to win so he at his best for Mekhi tomorrow.

He doesn't seem to be his complete self. He's given up a TD in each match today (the 1st 2 TDs he gave up all season). He's smart, and a great wrestler. Before the injury, I would have had him a strong favorite to beat Lewis. Tomorrow's Quarter will be interesting. The Starocci we saw today would probably be a pick'em against Lewis. Here's hoping he can get the win in the quarterfinal.

I think it's pretty clear that Cael made the right move two weeks ago at the B1G. He says he is 100% but he isn't wrestling like he is 100%. It's going to be a nail biter tomorrow against Lewis.
