In round 1 we started out at 195 with Riley Phillips receiving a forfeit and then jumped right into a great match at 220 with Brodie Overbeck vs Connor Thomas. Thomas is currently ranked #8 in Division II. Brodie earned a nice take down in the first and took a 2-0 lead into the second period. After giving up an escape in the second Brodie held a 2-1 lead going into the third with choice. He then earned an escape to go up 3-1. With about a minute left Brodie gave up a takedown to tie the score at 3-3. He then earned an escape with about 30 seconds remaining but gave up a stalling point to send the match into OT at 4-4. In OT Brodie shot a double but was caught under and gave up the deciding takedown. Probably one of the best-contested matches of Brodie's season but not the finish the Eagle Fans were looking for.
Another exciting match came at 138 with two young freshmen. Lucas Conard earned a first-period TD but gave up an escape to take a 2-1 lead into the second period. Lucas then gave up a reversal but earned an escape to head to the third tied 3-3 with choice. Lucas took the bottom and earned an escape and a TD to go up 6-3 but then gave up an escape cutting his lead to 6-4. Both wrestlers were close to several TD's but Lucas held on for the decision.

Proud of the guys' effort tonight in both matches. We looked better in neutral and worked a lot of different techniques on top making pinning a focus. We also looked better on the bottom but needed several attempts to score. A few common mistakes tonight but mostly just small corrections. Lucas Kallin at 106 was a little dinged up in the first dual and sat out the second but should be better for Saturday.
Next up for the Eagles is the Herb Tyler invite at Sheboygan North on Saturday. Another tough 16 team tournament with tough teams from all divisions. We'll see some familiar opponents that should give us a gauge as to how we are improving and some teams we haven't seen but will in the tournament run.
