Hokies won 7 out of 10 matches.
Only real concern was TJ Stewart took another loss, this time to unranked Cartagena-Walsh
Comments
Judging by the score and embedded clips, VT>>>BiG. F RU.
Yeah looks like it was a really dominant win.
Not sure why Medina wrestled at 133 but he got run over by the #6 wrestler in the Class.
Stewart lost 4-1 which is concerning because last year I can't recall him having any low scoring matches. They were normally 10+ points.
Jimmy Mullen lost to the #9 heavyweight 4-1 but it was in Sudden Victory so was tied at 1 after three rounds.
Wow! VT Wrestling is kicking a** and taking names.
One thing I do hope is that the rest of the guys learn from Wolak. He has some attack styles I haven't seen from most Hokies in terms of moving an opponent while on top and also in controlling position. Hoping that spreads to the other weight classes.
I wasn't able to watch this one, but what the heck is going on with TJ? These last two duals have seemed like a huge step back for him from last year
Not sure, first one he definitely didn't have the aggressive attack that I came to expect last year. He treated guys like bowling pins last year but seemed timid in the match I watched this year.
