CLEVELAND, Ohio - All matches except the finals have been wrestled at the 2019 Div. II National Championships and St. Cloud State will repeat as national champions once again.
In second place but 16 points behind St. Cloud State, Wheeling Jesuit will not be able to catch up despite having two finalists to St. Cloud State’s one finalist.
Senior Vince Dietz of St. Cloud State will be returning to the 197 lbs. finals. Dietz took out unseeded Clayton Wahlstrom of Augustana 4-3 in the semifinals. Wahlstrom went on to finish fourth. Dietz won’t have any easy match in the finals, however. Nicholas Mason of Tiffin has pinned his way through the tournament thus far.
The race for second place is where things will get very interesting tonight. Wheeling Jesuit, McKendree, and Notre Dame are all within seven points of each other and have two finalists in tonight’s finals. Nebraska-Kearney is currently in fifth place and 5.5 points behind Notre Dame, but will have four in the finals tonight.
Nebraska-Kearney had a unique morning session that saw them go four-for-four in the semifinals with no other wrestlers. All four of the Loper wrestlers to All-American will at least finish with a top two performance.
While the Nebraska-Kearney got it done on the front side of the bracket, St. Cloud State got it done on the backside. After going 1-2 in their semifinal matches, the Huskies wrestled back to finish with to finish with seven All-Americans. Senior Brett Velasquez finished his career with the Huskies as a four-time All-American, placing first, third, fourth, fourth. The lone finalist for St. Cloud State will be Vince Dietz at 197 lbs.
Defeating Velasquez in the semifinals was Josh Portillo of Nebraska-Kearney. He’ll take on Carlos Jacquez of Lindenwood. Portillo and Jacquez are 2-2 all time with Jacquez winning the one match they have wrestled this year 7-2.
Joining his teammate in the finals at 133 lbs. will be Wesley Dawkins of Nebraska-Kearney. He’ll take on top-seed Tyler Warner of Wheeling Jesuit in a match that will have big team point implications.
Wrestling all the way from the pigtail match, Jose Rodriguez of Notre Dame made the 141-pound finals by defeating Danny Swan of Lindenwood 13-4. Top seed Brandon Ball of Fort Hays State suffered his first loss of the season when he lost 6-4 to Isaiah Royal of Newberry. Ball went on to finish fourth.
At 149 lbs., the top seed, Pitt-Johnstown junior Chris Eddins, will be taking an undefeated record with him into the finals, but Trey Grine of Tiffin is having an outstanding tournament. After winning by 15-6 major decision in the opening round, Grine pinned both his quarterfinal and semifinal opponents in the first period.
Top seed Matt Malcom of Nebraska-Kearney is having an outstanding tournament as well at 157 pounds. The Loper has two tech. falls and has only given up three points in his three matches. Malcom will be taking on the only unseeded wrestler to make the finals, Colin Ayers of Augustana.
Having arguably the best tournament of any wrestler, Shane Ruhnke of Millersville has pinned all three of his opponents and only wrestled for a combined 9 minutes and 18 seconds at 165 lbs. Despite being unseeded Devin Austin of Pitt-Johnstown, the wrestler Ruhnke defeated in the semifinals, picked up 14.5 team points for the Mountain Cats and finished in third place.
In one of the most important matches of the night concerning the team race, Nick Foster of McKendree will take on Connor Craig of Wheeling Jesuit in the 174-lbs. finals. Foster took out top seed Brandon Supernaw of Western Colorado State 4-3 in overtime in the semifinals. Supernaw went on to finish in sixth place.
In one of the more interesting results of the day, Michael Pixley of McKendree won by disqualification over top seed and undefeated Jeff Reimel of Kutztown at 184. Reimel was hit for unsportsmanlike conduct three times, disqualifying him. Reimel then went on to lose 15-13 to Brock Biddle of Pitt-Johnstown and lost by medical forfeit in his fifth place match. This will be another big team race match as Pixley will be wrestling Notre Dame’s Tony Vezzetti.
In a wild semifinal round that saw both returning NCAA finalists from last year lose, Jarrod Hinrichs of Nebraska-Kearney beat Terrance Fanning 9-7 in overtime and Andrew Dunn of Kutztown beat Kameron Teacher 7-6. The returning national champion and national runner-up did wrestle for third, however. Teacher defeated Fanning 15-8, reversing both last year’s NCAA final and this year’s regional result.
