Quote:Dustin Kilgore (197) will wrestle for a national championship Saturday night on ESPN. The Kent State junior knocked off No. 1 Cam Simaz of Cornell 10-9 Friday night during the NCAA semifinals at the Wells Fargo Center.

The championship matches start at 7:30.

HE WON! PINNED A GUY (PREVIOUSLY UNDEFEATED) FROM OKLA STATE

SWEET!

Amazing. Down 5-1 with seconds to go in period 2.

Yeah, but he was awarded the TD before the pin, so it was 5-3 when he pinned him.

Congrats Dustin! Nice comeback.

Yeah, Accambray was a huge Frenchman- he and Kent's Al Schotterman just dominated the hammer on the national scene. Schotterman won in 1972 (my first year) and Accambray followed in 1973. Long time between those champions and Kilgore but we in the MAC don't get many so celebrate!

And thanks for thinking of me, Axe-us old guys need to have our memory jogged every now and then-keeps us sharp.
