PAIR OF TOP-10 WINS HIGHLIGHT TRIO OF VICTORIES AT NO. 1 IOWA
Of Princeton's two top-10 wins on Friday night at No. 1 Iowa, one came in a battle of wrestlers with single digits by their names and the other was a nightcap that saw an unranked Tiger pin the third-ranked wrestler in the nation.
The first of the two came at 157, where Quincy Monday followed up his win over Kaleb Young from Princeton's last meeting with Iowa with another win, as seventh-ranked Monday defeated sixth-ranked young 9-5 to deliver Princeton one of three match victories on the night.
No. 1 Iowa took the match 32-12 over the 21st-ranked Tigers in Princeton's lone dual meet of the 2021 portion of the new season. Princeton will head to two tournaments in December, first at the Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas on the first weekend of December and then the Midlands Championships outside Chicago just before the new year. Princeton's next dual match is set for Jan. 8 at Rider.
Iowa took the first four matches on the night to build a 20-0 lead entering the third meeting between Monday and Young. Each wrestler had won one, with the senior Young winning in 2018 at a dual at Iowa and the junior Monday winning in the 2019 dual in Princeton.
Monday set the tone with a takedown one minute into the match and led the rest of the way in the 9-5 win, adding points with a reversal to start the second period and another takedown less than a minute later.
After Iowa wins at the next three weights, freshman Luke Stout, who, like Monday, was coming off a Southeast Open championship earlier in the month, made his dual-match debut against Iowa's Zach Glazier and using a second-period reversal to add two points and open a 3-0 lead on the way to the shutout 4-0 win.
The night closed with the second of five top-10 wrestlers Iowa sent out on Friday night going down, this time with sophomore Jack DelGarbino flipping Tony Cassioppi with less than a minute to go in the opening period with a pin after Cassioppi had won the first two points of the bout.
DelGarbino had faced only one other ranked opponent while wrestling for Princeton, falling to Virginia Tech's 15th-ranked Nathan Traxler on a first-period pin on the way to a 2-2 finish at the season-opening Southeast Open before bouncing back to flip the two-time All-American Cassioppi and close the night on a high note for the Tigers.
