Weekend Recap (College)

/

It was a weekend full of great duals and individual upsets. Let's get to it:

Michigan's three highest weights highlighted their east coast trip with 3 pins, 2 tech's, and a major. They trailed Rutgers going in to the last three 16-10 before their Cerberus scored 17 points to make the dual look a lot more lopsided then what it was. The Wolverines will be keeping a watchful eye on the last few NC State duals with Virginia Tech and Missouri which will help determine who they host in the National Duals.
