#6 Wrestling slams Spartans, 39-3 for 8th straight win in series

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on February 9th, 2018 at 11:17 PM

The crowd was sparse due to the snow storm, but that didn't faze the #6 Wolverine grapplers.

Michigan took on pitiful MSU today on this rivalry week, searching for their 70th win all-time in the series.

The search didn't last very long. If it weren't for Drew Mattin being upset in the opening match at 125, Michigan would have shut out MSU for the first time since 1938.

Michigan dominated as they always do against MSU, taking the rest of the 9 matches. 3 of the victories coming on pinfall victories.

The results-

Class	Result
125	Foley (MSU) def. #9 Drew Mattin (U-M) via decision, 10-3
133	#5 Stevan Micic (U-M) def. Griffin (MSU) via pinfall
141	Sal Profaci (U-M) def. Gasca (MSU) via decision, 2-0
149	#18 Malik Amine (U-M) def. Eicher (MSU) via decision, 7-3
157	#7 Alec Pantaleo (U-M) def. Tucker (MSU) via decision, 8-4
165	#9 Logan Massa (U-M) def. Hiles (MSU) via major decision, 11-2
174	Garrett Sutton (U-M) def. Ritchie (MSU) via major decision, 12-3
184	#5 Domenic Abounader (U-M) def. Shadaia (MSU) via pinfall
197	#12 Kevin Beazley (U-M) def. May (MSU) via major decision, 20-12
Hwt	#2 Adam Coon (U-M) def. Rebottaro (MSU) via pinfall

The series record stands at 70-35-5 all-time. Michigan has now beaten MSU in each of the last 8 meetings. Tonight's 36-point win is the largest in the series since a 42-4 win over MSU in 1986.

Michigan is now 10-2 and 7-1 in the B1G, will wrap up B1G play on Sunday in the Clash at Crisler.

#6 Michigan will take on #2 Ohio State in Crisler Center. The dual will be at 6pm and televised on ESPN2.

As someone who tried wrestling for the first time as an adult, that shit is the true test of man and I failed. Also, sucks about Drew Mattin. I grew up near Delta, Ohio where he's from.

I spent half my childhood in the area and wrestled for an NWOAL school (league that Delta is in). Don't see many from the area on here is all. I lived about 10 miles from Delta, right outside Swanton but, oddly, didn't go to either school.

Spent a lot of time in Bryan. I still have and remember the old trophies from their invitational over the years. It was a giant Ohio plaque with a bear instead of the typical wrestler. Always liked those as a kid.

Used to go to the Naptown bowling alley every weekend as a very young kid (8-12yo). It was basically the hub of civilization for the remote village I lived in. Good times but 24 is still one of the worst roadways I can remember. Literally lost 3 friends on it while in HS.

I grew up watching Clark Forward murder dudes haha. He eventually went to Michigan. He'd go to tournaments, sign-up under 2 weight classes and dominate them both. Fun to watch.

Great post. This is the only way I'd ever keep tabs on our formidable grapplers. And anytime MSU loses in anything it makes me happier. Thanks, WD!

Yes he could. He has said his dream is to play in the NFL when he is done with wrestling.

Man this duel will be a good one Sunday but we are the underdogs for sure. The rankings might be close but we are only favored in 1 weight. Need some c lo we ones to our way. Can the big man take down the reigning Olympic champ at her? Can Pantelo bring the real Pantelo to th party like in Vegas? Can we get an upset at 133, 174, or 184? Coin is weighing 305 each week which means he could be 320 in a heart beat.
