Good to see Amos get a quality win. That was kind of missing last year.

Nice win. Hard fought by Braxton and Trent. Braxton had an ankle once. Hope he is close to finishing that in some matches.
Well done Badgers. This is a very good win on the road!

As ugly and deflating as the Iowa State loss was, this one is just the opposite. Hopefully it represents the "turning of a corner" of sorts for the Badgers.
Outstanding effort lads! Congrats on a big road win! Came ready to wrestle today.
Good work and On Wisconsin! 3-1 overall.
It's the first time in Division I history that a three-time NCAA champ has been knocked off.
Diakomihalis entered Saturday with a 93-1 career record. His lone setback came as a freshman when a late lead dissolved in the closing seconds against Jaydin Eierman at the South Beach Duals

Just got in from deer hunting. Wow, what a great day for the Badgers!
Gomez awes as Wisconsin upsets Cornell, 19-13

ITHACA, N.Y. -- No. 14 Wisconsin held nothing back on the road at No. 9 Cornell on Saturday, upsetting the home team 19-13 in a dual match that wowed wrestling fans.
Ranked third in the nation by Intermat, Austin Gomez led the Badgers with his stunning 9-3 upset decision over three-time NCAA Champion Yianni Diakomihalis. The loss stands as only the second in Diakomihalis' collegiate career as he entered Saturday's dual with a remarkable 93-1 career record and was ranked No. 1 at 149 pounds.
According to FloWrestling, "Gomez escaped in the second period to go up 1-0 and then padded his lead late in the period when he came off a whipover position into a bodylock and outside trip that put Diakomihalis on his back for a takedown and two-point near-fall. ... Gomez added two more re-attack takedowns in the third period on his way to the victory." Intermat called the win "one of the most shocking college wrestling upsets in recent memory."
The last time Wisconsin wrestled Cornell, the Badgers split the bouts 5-5 with Big Red and won 19-16 last February at the UW Field House. This time around, Wisconsin improved their team scoring as the Badgers won six of the 10 bouts.
Eric Barnett opened scoring with a 6-5 decision at 125 pounds over Brett Ungar to give his team a 3-0 lead at the sold-out Friedman Wrestling Center. Cornell claimed the wins at 133 and 131, before Gomez helped Wisconsin change the momentum. Teammate Garrett Model earned a 6-2 decision at 157 against Cole Handlovic to reclaim the team lead 9-7. Dean Hamiti then collected a nice 14-4 major decision over eighth-ranked Julian Ramirez to extend the Badgers' lead to 13-7.
Cornell picked up wins at 174 and 184 to tie up the dual at 13-13. But the Badgers' big men came through with power to close out the victory. At 197, Braxton Amos earned a tight 2-0 decision with riding time to retake the lead before heavyweight Trent Hillger earned the 5-2 decision upset against No. 9 Lewis Fernandes to seal the notable win.
Wisconsin takes a break from duals for two weeks. Gomez and Hamiti will compete in the NWCA All-Star Classic on Tuesday, while several Badgers will attend the Iowa State Harold Nichols Cyclone Open on Saturday, Nov. 26. Wisconsin returns to dual action at the Garden State Grapple on Sunday, Dec. 4 against Princeton and Penn at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

Yeah...well, that's nice...but he didn't even go for the major at the end. Is that what Bono is teaching up there?

Well done. This response made my morning. ;D ;D ;D
Oh MAN...talk about a TERRIBLE weekend for Cornell!
First 3X returning Champ to ever lose(small group, but still, Yianni loses, the program loses).
Then the Gibson brothers flip THEIR commitments from Cornell to Penn State(there's a 3rd brother who is still coming up). They're ALSO the older Cousins of Beau and Bassett, a young phenom and World Champ who's already got a Super 32 win as an 8th grader... who ALSO has a younger brother and they went from working out with Cornell to working out with the Penn State boys.
So that's 2 recruits right now but looking like FIVE big time recruits who are going to be wrestling for Sanderson and Cunningham and gives Penn State the #1 and #3 overall wrestler's from the '24 class and very possibly a couple more.
Not necessarily all that relevant to the Duel(unless it was as it came just following it) but big news in any event and something I thought I'd mention here.
