AWESOME! It would be nice to get back to our dominate wrestling. At least when I was at NIU we were always a good team.

Match is up next

Haven't seen a beating like that since our last football game

Bleise was manhandled, losing on a technical fall. Still, helluva an accomplishment getting to the championship match at the Midlands.

Kind of a rough match there. But granted, the guy he was facing may be the best 141 in America

Look up Andrew Long Grand View and you will read a really rough past. Holy smokes he did some pretty bad things, but hopefully he has turned his life around. He was a stud wrestler that got in trouble and this is his first year back since 2011, therefore leaving a guy of that caliber at a tiny Grand View Naia school.

Anyhow, he is obviously a hell of a wrestler because he blew threw the semi finals and now the championship match. Congrats to Steve Bleise....knocking off a #2 in the semi's to make the championship. Should be nothing other than proud and a lot to look forward to in the next three years!

GREAT EFFORT ! Its quite the accomplished to make noise at the Midlands, much less get to the championship match.

Redshirt Freshman - great accomplishment.

Pat on the back to Steve and here's hoping some teammates up their level to join him atop a medal stand at the MAC Championships.
