ROANOKE, Va. – Coach Jim Moulsoff isn’t declaring victory, but it seems inevitable to just about everybody at the Berglund Center that his Augsburg wrestling team will wrap up its 13th team title after the day it put together Friday at the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships.
“We’re not done,” Moulsoff said. “Today is over with, and we had a great day. But tomorrow we have work to do, a lot of work to do.”
There may be work to do, but the Auggies took care of business Friday.
They took control from the start, winning their first 12 matches and scoring bonus points in seven of them. By the end of the day, they had amassed 71.5 points, put six wrestlers in the semifinals and had one other alive in the wrestlebacks.
“The kids came out ready and wrestled with an attitude to make a statement,” Moulsoff said.
One of the biggest statements came from junior David Flynn. He moved into the semifinals by beating top-seeded Troy Stanich of Stevens Institute of Technology 7-4 in the quarterfinals.
“It was one of those matches where I wasn’t expected to win; nobody expected me to win,” Flynn said. “I needed to go out there and just let it all fly, wrestle the best I can and not worry about what will happen.”
Stanich tied the score at 4-4 on a takedown with 1 minute, 18 seconds remaining, but Flynn reclaimed the lead with an escape. He appeared to seal the win on a takedown with about 40 seconds left, but it was overturned on video review when Stevens challenged the call.
No problem. Flynn just got back on the offense again and scored a takedown that counted for the 7-4 win.
“When guys are down by a point or two points late in a match like that, they’ve got no choice but to come after you, and that’s when people make mistakes, when they’re desperate,” Flynn said. “I capitalized on it.
“I knew if I kept attacking in that match I was going to win. It didn’t matter if it was 5-4 or 7-3, I needed to stay on my offense. I couldn’t slow down on him.”
Flynn will try to record his 100th career victory Saturday morning in the semifinals against Clint Lembeck of Loras.
Flynn said Moulsoff and his staff had the Auggies ready to go.
“The coaches all week, the last two weeks, have been saying all we’ve got to do is worry about scoring points,” Flynn said. “Don’t worry about winning or losing; it will take care of itself if we go out there and just worry about scoring as many points as we can.”
Augsburg finished the day winning 15 of 20 matches and recording six pins and four major decisions.
Also moving into the semifinals for Augsburg were Victor Gliva (125 pounds), Alex Wilson (149), Ryan Epps (157), Lucas Jeske (165) and Lance Benick (197). Tanner Vassar (174) remained alive in the wrestlebacks, giving Augsburg seven or more All-Americans for the 13th time in school history, all since the Auggies won their first Division III title in 1991.
The Auggies did have some heartbreak, though.
Sam Bennyhoff, the 2018 runner-up at 133 pounds, was eliminated from the field after winning his first match. He had a 6-1 lead against Ben Vosters of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the quarterfinals before Vosters took the lead on a takedown and four-point near fall, then added six more points for a 13-6. Bennyhoff then lost 9-7 in the wrestlebacks.
He did last longer than the man who beat him in last year’s finals: Brock Rathbun of Wartburg.
Wartburg's hopes of winning a fourth consecutive title were dashed almost before they began.
Rathbun, a Type 1 diabetic whose blood-sugar numbers were high, according to Coach Eric Keller, was pinned in the pigtails by Ricky Cavallo of Johns Hopkins. Rathbun also was pinned in the first round of wrestlebacks by Levi Englman of tournament host Ferrum. Englman also eliminated Bennyhoff.
Cavallo trailed 7-4 in the third period but took Rathbun down to his back and recorded the pin in 5:37.
“I was going for the cement,” Cavallo said. “I do that a lot in practice. It’s one of my counters when a guy shoots and gets his arm in there. I was going to release it at first, but then I felt it pretty deep and so I stepped in front to kind of reinforce it and get him over to his back, and I had it tight.”
Beating a top seed in the Division III tournament is not uncommon. Last year, two of them lost in the first 30 minutes of the tournament.
“I definitely told myself that a few times coming into the tournament that top seeds go by all the time. I know last year I was seeded and went 1-2 and out of the tournament, so a seed doesn’t necessarily mean that that’s where you’re going to place at the end of the year.”
The list of defending champions who were eliminated also included Waynesburg’s Jake Evans (heavyweight) and top seeds Stanich and Da’mani Burns (149) of Johnson & Wales, while another top seed (Etini Udott of Centenary) lost in the quarterfinals but remained alive in the wrestlebacks.
Joining Cannone, Epps and Jeske as 2018 champions who advanced to the semifinals Jay Albis of Johnson & Wales at 125, Ben Brisman of Ithaca at 141 and Jairod James of Mount Union at 174.
Rathbun’s losses were part of a day three-time defending champion Wartburg would just as soon forget. The Knights will have their fewest number of All-Americans (4) since 1995.
Despite the rugged day, Wartburg finished it in third place in the team standings with 36.5 points. Three Knights – 2018 149-pound champion Cross Cannone (157), Kyle Briggs (174) and Bowen Wileman (heavyweight) reached the finals.
“Cannone wrestled his normal workmanlike matches, Briggs outwrestled his guy and Bowen Wileman found a way.”
Wileman, a senior, extended Wartburg’s streak of having a heavyweight All-American to 21 years when he scored a late reversal to knock off top seeded James Bethel of Oneonta State 7-5 in the quarterfinals.
Freshman Brady Fritz reached the final eight at 141 for Wartburg when he knocked off Stanich, a two-time All-American, 7-6 in the wrestlebacks.
Loras put two wrestlers in the semifinals – Lembeck and 2018 national runner-up Guy Patron – and was in second place with 42.5 points.
“There are a lot of points left,” said Loras Coach T.J. Miller, a former national champion for his father, Jim, at Wartburg. “If we don’t take care of business we could get passed.”
The Duhawks will have five All-Americans after Brandon Murray (157), Eddie Smith (165) and Jacob Krakow (174).
“It was getting kind of scary, but going 3-for-3 in the blood round was pretty amazing.”
Ithaca wound up the first day of competition in fourth place with 34 points, while Johnson & Wales and Mount Union were tied for fifth with 33.5. Wisconsin-Whitewater (32) and Wabash (30) weren’t far behind.
