Rough day so far for the pack. A chance for a team trophy seems to be slipping away.

Ref called a fall when it looked like Scott only was for maybe a split second and was already rolling through when it was stopped

That stinks….lot of matches I've watched, the refs are consistently late getting to position to even swipe

Ed will win a national championship. I didn't think he was going to win tonight. Felt the other kid was going to win. He got ****ed though. That was horrible. Can't believe that idiot made that call.

Completely agree. This one he couldn't have had a quicker whistle

How was Lovett a 10 seed?

Deakin is lucky he doesn't have the same official as Ed. I'm going to be bitter about this for a while.

Yeah that's the kind of call I was referring to earlier he was on his back for quite a while. How did replay not overturn that though? I'm no wrestling ref, but his back was flat for a bit

Not our best day. Maybe Trent can save it but we just haven't had it from our depth guys.

And yes, I realize how high the bar has been raised that we're sitting around 5th place and its a disappointment.

Good effort. How the F does Starocci weigh in at 174? Guy looks massive

Mekhi's pin was nonsense too. VT may beat us.

Yup. We left a ton of points out there the last two days.

Yeah that didn't look like two guys at the same weight.

Man I thought Tariq could win the national title. Ran out of gas today.

Zero finalists. Damn.

Damn. Bad night.

That did not look like a takedown from my view...

Three from NC State Wrestling have secured All-American honors at the 2022 NCAA Championships, and will return to action tomorrow to wrestle for their placement.

Hayden Hidlay (174 pounds) and Trent Hidlay (184) already had All-American honors secured with their NCAA semifinal placements coming into Friday night's session. With his win tonight in the Blood Round, Tariq Wilson (149) also will finish as an All-American.

Hayden Hidlay is now the only five-time All-American in school history. Wilson joins him as the only two four-time All-Americans in school history. Trent Hidlay earns All-American honors for the third straight season.

In the team race, NC State sits in 12th place with 40.5 points. Minnesota is in 11th with 41, while Missouri and Ohio State are tied for ninth with 42.

Wilson picked up a pair of first period takedowns, and a reversal in the third led to a final tally of 1:32 of ride time for the win. The win was also the 100th of his career.

Scott fell in his bid to become an All-American in his first trip to the NCAAs. In the second period, Robb locked in a cradle and picked up a second period pin.

Keckeisen's reversal in the ride outs is the difference as Trent Hidlay falls 7-5. Hidlay will wrestle in the 5th place bout.
