The Hawkeyes are wrestling in Vernal, UT tonight.  I hadn't seen anywhere on the site that we were having a live thread or anything like that, and, since I have no life, I decided to add what I have heard on the radio so far. (I could be wrong about the Utah Valley wrestlers.  I am trying to fill them in from memory and their roster after the fact.)

125: Matt McDonough vs. Benjamin Kjar- Controlled the match, but did not look good, per the announcers.  Scored a 7-4 decision. 3-0 Iowa.

133: Dan Dennis vs. Flint Ray (I think, there are 3 Rays at 133 on their roster) - With the lead late in the second and riding time advantage, Dennis was reversed to a 2 pt near fall, making the score 4-3 for the Utah Valley wrestler.  Dennis gained the one minute of riding time back, but released his opponent to make it 5-3.  It remained that until 3 seconds left, when, with a desperation shot, Dennis scored the takedown to tie.  3 seconds later time expired with Dennis with just over a minute of riding time for a 6-5 win. 6-0 Hawks

141: Montell Marion vs. Jeffery Newby- Outscored his opponent 20-7 for the major decision. 10-0 Hawks

149: The Brent Metcalf vs. Justin Morrill- Fall at 1:43 of the first.  Nothing else to say, the dude isn't human.  16-0 Hawks

157: Jake Kerr vs. Clay Frost- After a sluggish, unimpressive start, Kerr turns it on for a major decision 12-4. 20-0 Hawks

165: M* vs. Jeff Clark- Weird.  Very little action in the first period. Scoreless match until M* gets nearfall points from the top to start second.  Morningstar wins 3-1. 23-0 Hawks

174: Jay Borschel  vs. Brad Darrington:  Apparently Darrington, and UVU, for that matter, scored a big upset last night against Boise St.  JayBo yawns his approval and then proceeds to impose his will for 7 minutes.  Not an impressive score, but the match was never in doubt.  JayBo had 9 hours of riding time and wins 8-2. 26-0 Hawks.

184: Hometown Hero Phil Keddy vs. Casen Eldredge- In a match taking place in his former high school's (Uintah High School, I assume this is by design, and a nice touch) gymnasium, with 42 family members in attendance, Phil took a 2-1 lead after 1.  He quickly escaped and got an immediate takedown to make it 5-1.  From there, Keddy took several shots that were not successful, but still productive, as he forced several stall calls.  Eldredge did his best Steve Prefontaine impression, running away all over the place (at least out of bounds a whole lot) the whole 3rd period.  Keddy cruises to 9-3 decision. 29-0 Hawks

197: Luke Lofthouse vs. Josh Wood- Incidentally, during this match the announcers said that Beatty made the trip, but his foot is in a boot.  He has been practicing a bit, but only against lighter guys.  This is also somewhat of a homecoming for Double L.  Luke wrestles pretty well, despite giving up a takedown in the 3rd, and gets the decision 12-5. 32-0 Hawks

HWT: Dan Erekson wins by forfeit.  38-0 Hawks.

It was a dominating performance against a lesser opponent, but it did not sound terribly impressive.  I may be wrong about this, but I think, for the second meet in a row, Lofthouse's opponent scored the one and only take down for the opposing team in the whole meet.  When the opponent scores 95% (figuratively speaking, I wouldn't actually do math for this) of their match points on release escapes, it's hard to argue with the results, even if it wasn't exactly what Brands wants to see.
