Rider Takes Tight Match over Princeton for MAC-Ivy Rivalry Trophy
January 21, 2023 | Wrestling
Rider eked out a 19-18 win on the fourth criteria Saturday night in Jadwin Gym to take home the MAC-Ivy Rivalry trophy.
The teams split the 10 matches 5-5, nixing criteria A, and with no falls, forfeits, defaults and disqualifications, criteria B was out. Total points, criteria C, came out even as well, at 66-66, moving the decision on to criteria D, near-fall points. Rider had 18 of those, with Rider's Quinn Kinner accounting for 14 of those in his tech-fall win at 149.
Princeton got wins from Quincy Monday (165), Nate Dugan (184), Travis Stefanik (285), Patrick Glory (133) and Ty Whalen (157) and had a team-score lead as large as six as late as 15-9 after Glory's win. Rider then won two of the last three matches, both by bonus points, taking an 18-15 lead into Whalen's meet-ending match at 157. Whalen won 6-4, but the points were just enough to keep the tally of total points scored - criteria C - even at 66-66, moving the match on to criteria D. All of the evening's near-fall points came across three matches, with Monday scoring eight in the meet's opener at 165 before all 18 of Rider's near-fall points came over the Broncs' final two wins, at 141 with four from McKenzie Bell and then at 149 with Kinner's 14.
Monday's match, which ended up being a 17-2 technical-fall win over Hunter Mays, was scoreless after a period, but an 11-point second period broke it open for Monday on a takedown and the eight near-fall points. Two more takedowns followed in the third period as a penalty point and the riding-time point clinched the tech fall.
The win kept Monday unbeaten on the season at 13-0, including 10-0 at 165. All nine of those wins have come over the past month, beginning with a 6-0 run at the Midlands Championships and his non-exhibition collegiate debut at the weight.
"He's been solid. He's great," Princeton head coach Chris Ayres said of Monday. "He went to Midlands, sort of like an experimental run. I knew he was going to win (there). He's that good. That weight is tough (and) he wants the toughest guys."
Rider got on the board with a 3-1 win from Michael Wilson at 174 over Kole Mulhauser that saw all of its points scored in the third period, including the decisive reversal for Wilson.
Nate Dugan followed for Princeton at 184, getting a 19-6 major-decision win over Quinn Collins that saw Dugan roll up eight takedowns.
A matchup between two InterMat top-20 wrestlers followed at 197, with Rider's No. 10-ranked Ethan Laird getting an 8-3 win over No. 20 Luke Stout. Laird had an early takedown, but his lead was only at 2-1 before a big third period that saw Laird earn a pair of takedowns to open up the match.
The alternating wins continued, with Stefanik getting a 6-4 win over David Szuba at heavyweight. Stefanik had a takedown in each of the first two periods while Szuba had his lone takedown of the match in the first, and the rest of the wrestlers' points came on escapes.
"He's competing at a high level," Ayres said. "He's ranked now (No. 33 in the first NCAA coaches rankings of the season). That's a big deal."
After the midpoint of the meet, Rider's Tyler Klinsky had a 6-4 sudden-victory win over Nick Kayal at 125, getting a takedown in the extra time after each wrestler had a takedown in the first period and traded points on escapes with two apiece.
Glory, wrestling at 133 for the second time on the weekend after doing so for the first time in his collegiate career Friday night at Columbia, had three takedowns across the first two periods on the way to a 9-4 win over Richie Koehler to give Princeton a 15-9 lead.
Glory stayed perfect on the season with the win, moving to 10-0 overall and 2-0 at 133.
Rider then became the first team on the day to win back-to-back matches, taking the pivotal two at 141 and 149. Bell had a big second period in his 11-1 major-decision win over Sean Pierson, getting eight points on a reversal, a takedown and a four-point near-fall, and Kinner started with an eight-point first period on a takedown and six points on near-falls on the way to an 18-0 tech-fall win that ended with less than a minute to go in the third.
After a scoreless first period at 157, Whalen had a 4-2 lead after the second period, getting his points on a takedown, an escape and a penalty point before getting what turned out to be the decisive takedown in the third in a 6-4 win.
"Ty was great. A lot of pressure, pretty good crowd," Ayres said of Whalen. "He beat a New Jersey kid. He took care of business. That was good."
