Falls to MSOE UW-M vs. MSOE this Friday! (Friday, February 2, 2007) A scrimmage between NCAA Div. 3 wrestling team MSOE and UW-Milwaukee wrestling club Friday at 7pm at MSOE Kern Center Arena (1245 N. Broadway, 53202). Don't miss the chance to see college wrestling, right in your own backyard! UW-M Wrestling Wins One at National Duals January 14, 2007 -Cedar Falls, IA The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Wrestling Club hit the mats this weekend at the nation's premier dual meet championships, the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals. Top NCAA DI, DII, and DII programs from colleges and universities across the country, as well as NAIA, NJCAA, NCWA and women's division, programs were invited to battle for the national championship in their respective divisions. The Panthers had their hands full, taking on currently #1-ranked University of Central Florida, followed by defending NCWA national champions Grand Valley State University and top challengers Kansas State University, in a two-day round robin format competition. In each meet, the opposing coaches selected an Outstanding Wrestler of the meet, from the opposing squad. The first bout, against UCF, was a rough start for the club, which had last competed December 10th at the Milwaukee Duals. UW-M started the meet forfeiting the 125-lb. weight class, as freshman Tom Hansen recently underwent surgery after a season-ending ankle injury. The Panthers were unable to pull off any victories in the meet, though club founder Gabriel Wahhab was selected Outstanding Wrestler of the UW-M squad, for his close loss at 149 lbs. After a short recovery period, the Panthers faced GVSU in another high-scoring meet. At 174 lbs., Arturo Martinez, Jr. stepped up his intensity in a match that ended with his winning by an injury default. Heavyweight Brady Hundt also scored team points, with a forfeit, ending the first day of competition for the Panthers. Martinez was UW-M's Outstanding Wrestler of the meet. The Panthers re-grouped with an inspirational visit to the newly opened Dan Gable International Wrestling Institute and Museum (www.wrestlingmuseum.org). Following the second-day weigh-in, the UW-Milwaukee wrestlers were ready to validate their National Duals trip, against a tough Kansas State club. Club officer Nicholas Tadeo got things started at 133 lbs., quickly finishing up an attack and setting up a spladle his opponent did not see coming, to gain a pin in just 1:32. Freshman Terrance Welch also increased his intensity, controlling the action and finishing with a 7-4 decision that earned him the final OW award. Wahhab earned a forfeit, as did club officer Sean Lueck at 157 lbs. Freshman Mike Huth showed potential with a tenacity that netted him the first takedown of the match; unfortunately, an opportune countermove by his opponent ended the match early. Martinez (174 lbs.) earned his second victory of the tournament by forfeit. Club President Darin Kwilinski fought to save team points for the team by moving up a weight class but was overtaken by NCWA All-American, and eventual OW of the NCWA division of the tournament, Steve Kern. Brady Hundt gained another victory, by fall, after working hard to create an opportunity to attack, which he seized and maximized. The Panthers, many of whom moved up a weight class or two for the dual meets, to avoid giving up forfeits, will be in full force, at their competitive weight classes, this coming weekend, as they return to the Florida Classic, hosted by the University of Florida, in Gainesville.

The round robin meet, held at Riverside University High School, was a good measuring stick for all three clubs, as they faced their first NCWA competition of the season. The Panthers seized the opportunity to use its early season experience to the team's advantage, keeping their opponents on the defense for most of the day. Several Panther wrestlers scored their first wins of the season with dominance. After attacking with impressive speed, Freshman Terrance Welch (141 lbs.) pinned both opponents, with times of 3:12 and 3:38. Fellow freshman Mike Huth (165 lbs.) also got his first win by way of pin, in just 2:34, after taking a forfeit in the first match. Freshman Tom Hansen (125 lbs.) went 2-0 on the day as well, with a solid 6-1 victory over Scott San Filippo of UW-Madison and a forfeit. Several sophomores also showed intensity, including Tanner Vanden Heuvel (197 lbs.), who scored two pins, including one in just 26 seconds, despite wrestling up a weight class. Young team leader Nicholas Tadeo filled a gap in the line-up by moving up two weight classes, to 149 lbs., for the day, and was spectacular, with a pin in 1:32 and a 19-2 technical fall. Jeremy Gee scored his first victory of the season, with a 17-1 victory against NBBC. Sean Lueck, up a weight class, at 157 lbs., gained a decisive 22-5 tech fall against NBBC but was overcome by UW-Madison standout Dan Rivers. Club President Darin Kwilinski (174 lbs.) moved up a weight class for the dual meet and was challenged by team leaders Aaron Scott of NBBC and John Wahhab of UW-Madison in close decisions. Heavyweight Brady Hundt hit the mats for his first meet, gaining a forfeit but coming up short against Jeff Schuttenhelm of UW-Madison. Along with the powerful Rivers at 157 lbs., UW-Madison's Kyle West (184 lbs.) and Jeff Schuttenhelm (285 lbs.) also went undefeated. Northland Baptist's team leader, returning NCWA National Qualifier Aaron Scott (174 lbs.) went 2-0 on the day. Teammate Josh Trygstad (149 lbs.) also showed promise with aggressive upper body attacks. The UW-Milwaukee Wrestling Club will be vying for a national dual meet championship, in its next competition, as the club has just been added to the line-up for the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals, January 13th and 14th, at the University of Northern Iowa. The Panthers will be competing in a round robin format against three of the other top NCWA teams, while teams from Divisions I, II, III, NAIA, NJCAA and Women will all be facing their top rivals at this premier national event.

Several starters missed the Pointer Open due to injury, but the club brought eight wrestlers to the 19-team tournament. Five wrestlers competed in the Silver division, for first-year college wrestlers, including Tom Hansen, Alex Mor, Mike Huth, Dan Wesley, and Tanner Vanden Heuvel. The remaining club members competed in the Gold division, for those with previous college experience, including Nick Tadeo, who finished top 8 at last season’s NCWA Nationals, Darin Kwilinski, also an NCWA national qualifier, and Panther newcomer Jeremy Gee. Competition was fierce. Although all 8 wrestlers wrestled well, overall the opposition was quicker on the attack, leaving the Panthers working defense most of the day. Alex Mor scored the first wins and the first pin of the season for the club, finishing just out of the top 6, losing to eventual place-winner Anthony Azarian. The Panthers will take motivation from today’s setback to the mats next weekend at the Concordia Open (Mequon, WI).
