Davison Caps Off Stellar Weekend, Three Wildcats Win Bouts at No. 3 Penn State
1/12/2020 3:31:00 PM | Wrestling
STATE COLLEGE, Penn. – #1 Ryan Deakin improved to a perfect 10-0 this season, Lucas Davison notched his second-straight dramatic victory of the weekend and #7 Michael DeAugustino bounced back with a dominant victory on Sunday afternoon during Northwestern's dual vs. No. 3 Penn State.
Riding high after an upset over #2 Christian Brunner of Purdue on Friday, redshirt first-year Davison continued his stellar wrestling with a 7-5 victory over All-American Shakur Rasheed. Tied at 5-5 nearing the end of the third period, Davison notched a takedown with 25 seconds remaining and rode out Rasheed to secure the victory. The Chesterton, Indiana native improves to 8-4 on the year and a perfect 2-0 in conference duals.
Facing unranked Bo Pipher rather than the Nittany Lions' #4 ranked grappler at 157 (Brady Berge), Deakin controlled the bout and notched his second-consecutive shutout victory, winning 6-0 to remain undefeated on the season.
To close out the dual, DeAugustino recorded a takedown vs. Brandon Meredith just 20 seconds into the match and never looked back, going wire-to-wire for an impressive 7-3 victory to improve to 12-4 on the season.
No. 13 Northwestern dropped the dual to No. 3 Penn State, 30-9.
The Wildcats will be back in action on Saturday, January 18 when they host Indiana at 1:30 p.m. CT, with the action televised nationally on Big Ten Network. The dual will also be Northwestern Wrestling's Alumni Day, as former Wildcat wrestlers are invited to a pre-match social beginning at noon. RSVP HERE!
