Wrestling Team Eliminated From NCAA Championships

DES MOINES, IA—The Bloomsburg University wrestling team saw its season come to an end after all five Huskies were eliminated from action after suffering losses on the Friday.
 
The Huskies had advanced six wrestlers to the NCAA Championships and had advanced five wrestlers to the consolation rounds on Friday. Three of the wrestlers, Nick Wilcox (Greene, NY/Greene Central), Josh Veltre (Rochester, NY/Greece Olympia), and Richard Perry (Meriden, CT/Middletown) won their opening matches of the day in the consolation brackets, but fell in their second bouts of the day.
 
NICK WILCOX
In the first match of the day for the Huskies, Nick Wilcox (Greene, NY/Greene Central) needed extra time to knock off EWL-rival Shelton Mack of Pitt, 6-1 in tiebreaker 3. After a scoreless first period, Mack chose down to start and escaped 29 seconds into the period to lead 1-0. In the third period Wilcox chose down and needed just seven seconds to escape and tie the score. That would be the only scoring for the remainder of the period. In the sudden victory and through the first two tiebreaker periods there was also no scoring setting up a tiebreaker three.  In the third tiebreaker Wilcox got an escape followed by a late takedown and three back points to win 6-1.
 
In round three of the consolations Wilcox faced Levi Wolfensperger of Northern Iowa. Wolfensperger got an early takedown and was able to eventually get Wilcox on his back and recorded the win by fall in 1:56.
 
JOSH ROOSA
Josh Roosa (Mountaintop/Crestwood), the 149-pounder for the Huskies, faced eighth-seeded Nick Brascetta of Virginia Tech in the second round of consolations. Brascetta took the early lead in the match getting a takedown followed by a quick escape from Roosa. Into the second period Brascetta was on bottom to start and escaped followed by a takedown to lead 5-1 after two periods. In the third Roosa got an escape to make it 5-2, but that was the only scoring of the period and with riding time Brascetta won 6-2.
 
FRANK HICKMAN
The career of Frank Hickman (Castle Hayne, NC/E.A. Laney) came to an end with a 10-0 loss to Jesse Dong of Virginia Tech. Hickman finished his career with 103 wins.
 
JOSH VELTRE
Josh Veltre (Rochester, NY/Greece Olympia), who had his 25-match winning streak snapped on Thursday, moved on with an 8-5 win over Nick Moore of Iowa.  After no scoring in the first period, Veltre took down to start the second and quickly escaped for the first point of the match. Veltre then got a takedown to go up 3-0. After Moore escaped, Veltre got his second takedown of the match to lead 5-1 after two. In the third period Velte got an escape and a takedown and held off Moore to win 8-5.
 
In round three of the consolations Veltre faced John Staudenmayer of North Carolina. After a scoreless first period, Staudenmayer got the only point of the second period on an escape. In the third, with Veltre down to start, the Huskies junior got a reversal to go on top 2-1. Staudenmayer got the escape to tie the score at 2-2 and force overtime. In the sudden victory there was no scoring which forced the tiebreaker. Staudenmayer roder out Veltre in the first 30-second period, while at the end of the second, 30-second period the Tar Heel escaped to earn the 3-2 win.
 
RICHARD PERRY
At 197 pounds Richard Perry (Meriden, CT/Middletown) faced Caleb Kolb of Nebraska in round two of the consolations. Perry used a takedown in each of the three periods and allowed just three escapes and with riding time posted a 7-3 win over the Cornhusker. The win was the 30th of the season for the junior.
 
In round three of the consolations, Perry took on Kyven Gadson of Iowa State, seed sixth. Gadson got the first points with a takedown in the opening period with Perry getting a quick escape to trail 2-1 after one period. Gadson took down to start to the second and escaped to lead 3-1. Perry tied the score later in the period with a takedown and the wrestlers went to the final period tied 3-3.
