Description

Canada takes this one in a landslide folks. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily recap of the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. What does Canada take? Well, as I checked into the Fallsview Marriott, I looked out the window to see the most glorious sight I’ve ever seen out of a hotel window at a wrestling event. Seriously, Wrestling Canada Lutte (you have to say Lutte) has at least made one person happy so far. By the way, it’s also not everyday you get picked up at the airport by an Olympic medalist. As far as picking up Olympic medalists, I’ve done that way more. Not quite like smoking fake pot with Peter Frampton, but you get the idea. Yes, a Mitch Hedberg reference.  Also, Niagara Brewing Company has some first-class stuff.  To the scores! Dual Meets:  Kentucky Wesleyan won its first dual in school history on Tuesday night. Well guess what, they have their first winning streak as the Panthers beat NAIA Thomas More 28-21to win the school’s second dual ever and second in a row. Kentucky Wesleyan stormed out to a 28-0 lead and put it in cruise control from there.  Mount Olive topped Lander 24-23 in a matchup of first year teams. With the dual on the line, Mount Olive’s Drew Weichers’ major decision at 157 pounds in the dual’s final bout was enough to give the Trojans the win, spoiling the dual debut of the Lander Bearcats.  In Division III, Westminster beat Fontbonne 31-18, Thiel beat Pitt-Bradford 50-6, while UW-Platteville beat UW-Stevens Point 25-15. Stevens Point’s Matt Berlin remained unbeaten at 13-0 with a fall at 133 pounds. Division III Millikin, ranked No. 18, beat Lincoln, which is in its first year active as an NAIA school, 41-12. Southern Virginia defeated NJCAA Southwest Virginia 33-15. In the NAIA, Grand View won its 81st straight dual, but it wasn’t a blowout. The Vikings won six of 10 to defeat Baker 27-15. Five bouts were decided by two points or less. No. 10 Life trounced Truett McConnell 46-5. In Kansas at Olathe South High School, Ottawa beat Central Christian 45-9. In the desert, Embry-Riddle beat Arizona Christian 35-15. On the women’s side, No. 14 Missouri Valley beat No. 20 Saint Mary (Kansas) 28-15 to pick up their first win of the season. No report from the women’s dual between Fontbonne and Westminster. Notables on the Docket: Just a pair of duals in Division I as Bucknell hosts Bloomsburg, which is right down the road, unless you’re in a snowstorm like I was back in 2011 or ‘12. Wrestling’s version of the Backyard Brawl goes down in Morgantown as West Virginia hosts Pittsburgh. Anyone ever hear the story about the Pitt PA announcer asking the fans if anyone owned a tractor with West Virginia plates E-I-E-I-O, because its lights were on? WVU came back to win that game, by the way. True story.  In Division II, Colorado Mesa (formerly known as Mesa State) hosts Western Colorado (formerly known as Western State and Western State Colorado), Emmanuel faces McKendree, MSU-Moorhead faces Northern State in the Northern Sun Conference. Central Oklahoma will face off with NAIA Oklahoma City.  Lourdes, which just added a women’s team, will face Adrian, North Central’s at Wheaton, while Simpson (Iowa) hosts a tri-meet with Central College and Augustana (Ill.) In the NAIA, apparently Lindenwood-Belleville is at Lyon. I’d love to know what’s going on at Belleville, since my emails to the sports information office and coaching staff have gone unreturned. As have my phone calls. Does anyone return calls anymore? Missouri Valley is at Graceland and Concordia (Neb.) is at Morningside.  On the women’s side, East Stroudsburg and King head to Ferrum for a tri-meet in the only reported action scheduled on Thursday. I’m going to suggest heading to TransitionWrestling.com for the minutiae of women’s wrestling. Yes, Gabby gets more plugs.   FROM THE DWN: In the wake of the gigantic outpouring of support for Iowa alum Brandon Sorensen and his fight against leukemia, another
