Ferri over Blake easily at 125. Ferri will be the starter.
Sherman over Maturin at 125. My guess is Blake is the best of the 3 freshman.
Rooney over Gould at 133 on the strength of a TD. Gould (freshman) wrestled well against a 5th year senior that is ranked.
Simpson over Mutschler at 141. For a freshman, Mutschler was aggressive and took his shots.
At 149, Komara is the starter but we saw Colasurdo beat Senz. Hopefully, Komara isn’t injured.
At 157, Chrisman beat Karpinski. We are young at this weight and it may be an issue.
At 165, Byland (junior) defeated Limongi (freshman). Another weight class that has youth and questions.
McNally dominated Torres at 174 as he should have.
184 appears to be crowded with Hinkle, Mast defeating Bates, Andrassy. Andrassy wrestled 157 last year. Huge jump in class.
McCracken dominated true freshman Boyle at 197. He looked huge and with his summer performance, expect good things from him this season.
285 No match; don’t know why.

This year’s squad will be carried by McNally, McCracken and Rooney. It’s a shame that Gould is at Rooney’s weight because he could contribute this year. Ferri, Simpson and Komara have to step up or this season could be ugly. With only two seniors, it’s an uphill battle already. Hopefully, they can also avoid last season’s injury debacle. 157, 165, 184 and 285 are big question marks.

Thanks Lambert58. Any idea on Leno Ciotti @ 141lbs? I would have thought he would be in the mix to start after redshirting last year.
