Carter and Penny are both in the semifinals tonight. They should both be on the main coverage on ESPN tonight starting at 8pm. Dance and Neibert will be in consolations and will be on either ESPN or ESPN3 tonight. The team is currently tied for 7th with Edinboro. Take a break from the roundball and flip over to ESPN to see some excellent Hokies compete!

Go Hokie Wrestlers!!!
Carter and Penny are already assured of All-American status. Dance and Neibert each need one more win tonight in the consolations.
Good stuff. Any others with a chance at All American or are they done in the Consolations?
We've had 5 guys eliminated, 2 guys in contention for A-A status (need one more win each) and 2 guys assured of no worse than 6th place. All-Americans are those who place 8th or higher at the NCAA tournament.
Joey Dance with a big 6-5 victory, so he is guaranteed AA honors.
Carter dominated and is in the finals!
This day just keeps getting better. Congrats Devin!
So proud of Devin. His opponent will be tough, as he stated he's lost to him everytime they've met on the mat. But, needless to say, there's never been a bigger stage. I want this for him, our program, and for us Hokies. Get'em D!
Just think the dude spent 3 months not training at all. Think if he had actually been competing during that time. Instead...
The man's a machine, and probably at about 90% right now. Best of luck to him in the finals, cause it's gonna be a doozy.
Chris Penny up next on ESPN. If you're not tuned in yet, now would be a good time. HUGE semifinal match for one of the tourney's overachievers.
Valiant effort by Penny, so much to be proud of.
Dance finishes 4th, Penny is in the 5th place match shortly.
Alas, looks like Penny will take a medical forfeit, finishing 6th. Not half bad for a former walk-on.
He definitely impressed this year. It will be interesting to see who Dresser replaces with two seniors at 184 and 197. My guess would be Epperly or Gabel moving up to 184 and one of the current freshmen that are redshirting to take over at 197.
General wrestling question: do the weight classes make sense to everybody? To me it seems like 125 should be eliminated and a weight class between 197 and heavyweight introduced. I don't follow wrestling too closely and I wanted to know if there are any thoughts on this.
