Consolation semifinals and 7th place matches.
Lot of work to do this session to move up in the team standings. Everyone but Riggins has secured an auto bid to NCAAs. There are only 8 auto bids at 184 for the Big Ten, but Riggins is still wrestling for 9th, as finishing one place beyond the conference allocations is a factor used for at large bids.
First matchups for the Hawks:
2 Ayala vs. 9 Peterson (RUT)
14 Teske vs. 4 Van Dee (NEB)
3 Woods vs. 4 Hardy (NEB)
3 Rathjen vs. 4 Kasak (PSU)
4 Franek vs. 8 Blaze (PUR)
3 Caliendo vs. 11 Moore (ILL)
3 Kennedy vs. 5 Welsh (OSU) (good test for PK)
13 Riggins vs. 10 Rogotzke (IND) (to make the 9th place match, not the same Rogotzke who beat him yesterday)
7 Hill vs. 4 Slavikouski (RUT)
Team standings after day one/finalists/consi semis:
Penn State 136/7/2
Michigan 105.5/4/5
Nebraska 89/1/7
Iowa 88.5 /1/8
Ohio State 78.5/2/4
Rutgers 71.5/1/5
Minnesota 66/2/2
Wisconsin 43/1/0
Purdue 34/0/2
Maryland 31/0/3
Indiana 29/0/1
Illinois 28/1/1
Michigan State 19.5/0/0
Northwestern 14.5/0/0
Go Hawks!
