Yes ncaa , I need all the finals from 2012 to 2018

Nico Megaludis is my favorite Penn State wrestler of all time. Inspired me in so many ways like his great pace and work ethic. I have surgery on my meniscus soon and I keep thinking about how he had to get surgery too, then preserved.

Matt was the clear aggressor, pushing the pace Iowa style; his third period takedown is vintage Iowa toughness and conditioning. Another great Iowa lightweight.

Thanks again for all these great matches!
Could we see the 165 lb match title with Derringer (OKST) and Isaac Jordan (Wis)?

[@NCAAChampionships]

You're very welcome. And we'll look into the Dieringer vs. Jordan match. Thanks for the request!

Megaludis stalled that whole match. Doesn’t make an attempt to escape “warning red” that’s bad calling ref.

What a great match. McDonough is just so aggressive. Freshman did his best but in the end couldn't hang with it.

[@NCAAChampionships]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Man, Megaludis didn't give up anything. McDonough had to take it. Excellent bout.

There should be a push out rule

Has no one in college wrestling heard of limp arming out of a whizzer?
