Tagged: Live Thread, Match v ODU, NC State Wrestling
GoPack has really improved their coverage, so I’ll defer your eyes to them for the match-ups. Link
Don’t forget to follow @PackWrestle on Twitter to get solid match updates (usually by the end of each period). I’ll be giving updates based on the action from GoPack All-Access (Yes. I paid the fee!!).
As a team, ODU comes in ranked #22, having dropped their last match 19-18 to the Asterisk. ODU sports three very strong wrestlers (all potential All-Americans this season). #3-ranked Chris Mecate (141 lbs) versus Kevin Jack will be a thriller. Jack’s only loss was at OK State to Dean Heil (currently ranked #1). #4 Alexander Richardson (149 lbs) will get either Beau Donahue or Cohl Fulk, so that match will favor ODU. ODU’s 184 lbs wrestler (Jack Dechow) is currently ranked #2 in the country, and will square off against Pete Renda (7-0 and ranked #15). So lots of great wrestling action tonight for the Pack. Join, especially if you have nothing else to do but watch me post feverishly!!
Just as I suspected. It’s free. Thanks, GoPack!
Led Zeppelin (“Kashmir”) is the music during the introductions. Nice choice.
165 lb weight class will start things off. Wright (ODU) v. Gantt (Pack)!!

Gantt with another takedown (5-3 Gantt)

Another takedown for Gantt (11-5) Wright with the escape (11-6)
Takedown Gantt (13-6)
Wright called for stalling (14-6)
Gantt takedown (16-6)
Gantt with the tilt earns 3 back, looking for the pin.
Correction, 4-pt near fall. Gantt finishes the job with a tech fall (Pack leads 5-0 team score)
174 lbs going Hall (Pack) vs. Climmons (ODU)
1st period ends, no score. Climmons gets choice but defers, Hall takes down to start Period 2.
Hall escapes (1-0 Pack)
You really got it going on in this thread, Sacco! Go Pack!
Hall shoots but gives up takedown (ODU 2-1)
Climmons chooses neutral. 3rd period begins.
Hall tries some shoots, but comes up short. Pack still leads team score 5-3. 184 up next Dechow (ODU) v. Renda (Pack)
