Walton bright spot as Maranatha wrestlers end season at NCAA
Great Lakes Regional
Elmhurst, IL – February 17, 2007
The men’s wrestling team completed their season as they participated
in the 2007 NCAA Great Lakes Regional Tournament, hosted by Elmhurst
College. Maranatha Head Coach Scott Hawes took a relatively young
and inexperienced Crusader team to a tournament that has been
dominated by institutions with a long history of wrestling
excellence. Despite the lack of experience and depth, the Crusaders
represented themselves well, but fell well short in the final
standings. Maranatha finished a distant 15th place as the final team
standings were presented. Augsburg College, the perennial favorite,
won the tournament by a landslide as their wrestlers were seeded #1
in every weight class, and won all but the heavyweight division
Maranatha’s Chad Walton was the only Crusader grappler to experience
a win at this year’s regional tournament. Walton pinned Timothy Yee
(Knox) in 3:30 in the first round, then was knocked out of the
championship bracket by #1 seed in the Great Lakes Region, and No. 3
nationally ranked Jafari Vanier (Augsburg) in a technical fall,
20-3. In the wrestle back to 3rd Place, Walton pinned Anthony Myers
(Concordia) in 5:32. Walton was then ousted from the tournament by
Brian Ranger (Elmhurst) in a decision, 12-7.

CUW Wrestlers Neske 3rd, Massman 5th at NCAA III
Great Lakes Regional
Clayton Neske (Jr., Mequon, WI) placed 3rd at 285 lbs. to lead the
Concordia wrestling team to an 8th place finish in the 15-team NCAA
III Regional here today. Joe Massman (Soph., Taylor, WI) finished
5th at 149 lbs., duplicating his finish from last season. Neske,
seeded 6th, went 5-2 on the day with four pins. In the 3rd-place
match, he pinned Lakeland's Mark VandenHoogen, which set him up for
a true-second place match against Augsburg's Andrew Neumann with a
possible national berth on the line.
Neske (10-5) put Neumann on his back in the first, but he scrambled
out of it, and Neske held a 5-0 lead. Neumann then controlled the
match with riding, and battled back for a 8-5 win. "This was a big
day for Neske," commented Head Coach Bret Corner. "He had Neumann on
his back, but didn't have a tight lock. As a junior, Neske will be
back. He proved he is one of the top heavyweights in the nation
today."
Massman (22-14) was 3-2 on the day, opening the day with a pair of
wins to advance to the semi-finals against Augsburg's Jared Evans, a
2-time All-American. Evans scrambled out of bounds on two takedowns
attempts by Massman in the third, and Evans held on for a 4-2 win.
In the consolations, Massman dropped a 5-2 match to St. John's Roger
Anderson, but came back strong to defeat Wheaton's Joe McHale in the
5th-place match with a 7-1 decision. "This was the best that Massman
wrestled all season. He is disappointed, but he finished the season
with a solid match. He can build on this for next year."
Dan Crowley (Soph., Gladwin, MI) went 2-2 at 125 lbs., one match
away from placing in the top six. Crowley finishes the season 19-14.
