ILLINI v. SIUE DUAL RECAP

Image
VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS THE OFFICIAL RECAP Here is how the ILLINOIS Athletic Department started their official recap of the dual:  " The No. 13 Illinois wrestling team won their season opening dual in dominant fashion 41-3 over SIU-Edwardsville on Saturday (Nov. 2). This marks the first time Illinois has scored 40 or more points in a dual since Nov. 15, 2015, where they beat SIU-Edwardsville by the same score 41-3. They tallied one fall, four tech. falls, three major decisions and one decision in their triumph." That is some top-tier classy analysis. Nothing about bullying them like they were a bunch of Computer Science majors, or saying that they rag-dolled the yokels like they were the supposed-to-lose guy in a WWE match. Scoreboard: 125: #Drew Davis (SIUE) dec. #17  Ramazan Attasauov  (ILL), 8-5 ILL 0 I SIUE 3 133: #3  Lucas Byrd  (ILL) major dec. Marcel Lopez (SIUE), 12-3 ILL 4 I SIUE 3 141: #19  Danny Pucino  (ILL) major dec. Danny Martinez (SIUE), 14-2 ILL 8 I SIUE 3 149: #10
