157: Gage McClenahan, Cornell vs Max Wilner, Arizona State
1st period: Gage McClenahan comes out with strong pressure and hits a nice sweep single. Wilner really makes McClenahan work, and it takes about 45 seconds to finish, but finally, McClenahan does. Wilner escapes 34 seconds later.
2nd period: Granby roll for McClenahan off of the whistle, but Wilner felt it, floated, and pancaked McClenahan to his back for a two count. Wilner puts a tough ride on circling off to a double as McClenahan gets to his feet. Not a whole lot of movement from McClenahan on bottom the last 45 seconds as it's a full period ride out for Wilner.
3rd period: Despite the rideout, Wilner chooses bottom. Big double leg mat return for McClenahan after Wilner stood up off of the whistle, but McClenahan has to stay on the legs and gives up a stall. The sequence repeats off the restart and McClenahan cuts Wilner after erasing riding time. He has one minute to get ta takedown and rideout. McClenahan gets to a single leg with about 10 seconds and comes up to the body, but isn't able to finish.
Max Willner wins the first match of the night for the Sun Devil’s in a toss-up match at 157!

Foca shoots the same single off of the restart and this time he is able to finish. Nummer doesn't have much for Foca on bottom. Foca almost turns him with an assassin. Roll threw two-on-one tilt for Foca. Nummer looked incredibly flat to me, but Foca will have to settle for four back points. Foca leads 6-0 with 2:33 of riding time.
2nd period: Stand up to standing switch for Foca for a reversal in about 4 seconds. Same roll threw tilt for Foca and Nummer appeared to be pinned again, but Numer is able to get out of danger before the ref calls it. 12-0 Foca with 4:22 for riding time as the period ends.
3rd period: Nummer wisely chooses neutral. Foca shoots Nummer out of bounds and Nummer is called for stalling. Shot from Foca with 40 to go and reattack for Nummer puts the two in the crackdown position. The two end the match in that crackdown.

184: Ethan Hatcher, Cornell vs #19 Anthony Montalvo, Arizona State
1st period: Montalvo rips a headlock in the first five seconds and Montalvo has Hatcher in all sorts of trouble! Looked for sure like Montalvo was going to get the fall, but after 30 seconds Hatcher is able to roll over and get out of bounds. Hatcher stands up and escapes off of the restart. After an incredible opening, the 1st ends with a rather dull final 2 minutes. 6-1 Montalvo with 30 seconds of riding time.
2nd period: Montalvo escapes on the edge 10 seconds in. The second period comes to close with exactly 0 attacks in the period. 7-1 Montalvo.
3rd period: Hatcher escapes 8 seconds in. Hatcher picks up the pace and gets a takedown with a minute to go. Hatcher looks for a cow catcher, but cuts Montalvo. Hatcher shoots Montalvo out for his second stall with 25 to go. Montalvo puts the skates on for the final couple of seconds, but holds on to win 8-5.
Anthony Montalvo goes big early and holds on for an 8-5 win!
