Rivera was really sluggish after the 1st period. Hope he's healthy and just had an off night. Not easy to tech everyone lol

Kinner was a pretty big recruit I believe.

I didn’t see that. Rivera looked solid to me. And give Kinner some credit. He is a huge 141lber and tall. He scrambles well too. Rivera has struggled with taller guys (Tariq Wilson last year). Rivera was working hard the whole time. Think there might be a familiarity thing going on here too.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Action is back underway at 165-lbs with Andrew Clark taking on Mike Wilson.

Clark scores early in the period with a takedown to take a 2-0 lead

 

[SCNJ]

Kinner was a pretty big recruit I believe.

He was. Pretty sure he was at Ohio State before this

If memory serves he tried going 133 and Ohio State planned on having him and Pletcher as back to back hammers. Didn’t work out

 

[Lex Knapp]

Kinner was a pretty big recruit I believe.

Because of a disappointing start to his college career, a lot of people forget how good Kinner is. 2x NJ state champ, Beast of the East Champ, Flonationals runner-up. Was a top 20 recruit in the class of 2019. Rutgers recruited him hard, but he chose Ohio State

 

[Lex Knapp]

Wilson escapes to make it 2-1

 

[Lex Knapp]

Clark maintains a 2-1 lead as the first period ends.

Wilson chooses defense, but Clark stands him up. Tied at 2-2 as the second period gets underway

 

[Lex Knapp]

No action that period, as the score is still tied at two.

Clark chooses defense for the third period

 

[Lex Knapp]

Clark still on bottom, warned for stalling. 1:10 remaining

 

[Lex Knapp]

Clark escapes to take the 3-2 lead. 56 seconds left in the match, with RT not being a factor

 

[Lex Knapp]

Clark manages to fend of Wilson, and hangs on for the 3-2 win.

20-0 Rutgers

 

[Lex Knapp]

Sorry, folks. Few more technical difficulties.

We are now in the second period of 174-lbs, where a 2019 NJ state finals rematch is underway between Connor O'Neill and Shane Reitsma

 

[Lex Knapp]

The match is scoreless in the second, with O'Neill on top

 

[Lex Knapp]

Reitsma escapes to make it 1-0

 

[Lex Knapp]

Period ends on the feet, with Reitsma still leading 1-0.

O'neill starting the third on bottom

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Neill out right away to tie it at one

 

[Lex Knapp]

Reitsma with a takedown. O'Neill escapes. 3-2 Reitsma with 30 left

 

[Lex Knapp]

O'Neill takes Reitsma down, but O'Neill gets reversed. Match ends 5-4 in favor of Reitsma.

20-3 Rutgers

 

[ScottRU93]

ONeill is just not good.

I know him and Reitsma had close matches but he hasn’t shown much most of season. He’s not good on his feet, very slow to point he looks stuck in quicksand, doesn’t really ride very well, so what are the positives? I know he’s still young but it’s not like he was not highly ranked or touted. He was like 7/8 in Country.

 

[Lex Knapp]

John Poznanski returning from a minor injury tonight. He will take on Evan Vasquez at 184-lbs

 

[Lex Knapp]

Poznanski with an early takedown. Vasquez escapes to make it 2-1. Poz back in right away with a score to make it 4-1.

 

[JudgeSmails56]

ONeill is just not good.

I really miss Turley

 

[Lex Knapp]

Period ends with Poz on top, maintaining a 4-1 lead.

Poz chooses defense to start the second

 

[Lex Knapp]

Poz with a quick escape, and an immediate single leg for a takedown, making it 7-1

 

[Lex Knapp]

Holding plenty of riding time, Poz cuts Vasquez to make it 7-2, looking to work on his feet.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Poz with another takedown to make it 9-2 with 55 seconds left in the second period
