ALLIANCE – At the same time as a nationally televised football game was happening outside, the Mount Union Invitational was taking place inside Petersen Field House. 

John Carroll Men's Wrestling notched a total of eight placers on Saturday, finishing in sixth place. The Blue Streaks enjoyed some solid results in the first tournament of the season. 

Results

Brett Stanley, knocking on the door of a national ranking, looked solid at 125 pounds. The junior opened with a 12-3 major decision and tallied an 18-2 tech fall to get to the semifinals. A narrow 4-1 decision loss dropped him to the consolation bracket. He notched a 5-3 win to get to the third-place bout, but lost that one. 

Bear Horgan snagged sixth at 184. The senior opened with a loss in the championship bracket, setting him behind. The Mentor grad rebounded with five wins: A fall, an 18-0 tech fall, 8-3 decision, a 19-4 tech fall, and another pin. 

Fellow senior Bo DiJulius kicked off his day in the 149A bracket with a 16-1 win before losing via a pin. The veteran looked good in the wrestlebacks, with a 17-4 major decision, first-period pin, a late tech fall, and then a 16-9 decision before settling for sixth. Cayden Pluhar also competed at 149A, winning his opening match with a takedown in TB-1. He'd also notch a 15-8 decision over a foe from Ohio Northern before accepting eighth place. 

Tyler Rowles began his morning at 165 with a pin and an 11-3 major decision. A 7-2 loss in the quarterfinals sent him to the consolations, where he won an 8-1 decision. A 4-2 setback sent him to the seventh-place match, where he eked out a 6-4 decision.

Nicholas Turba made his collegiate debut with a 19-1 tech fall and then a 15-7 major decision. A loss in the quarterfinal sent him to the consis, where he grabbed a 13-6 decision before losing twice to accept eighth place.

Maxwell Beck notched the best individual placement, tabbing third in the 149B bracket. The first year notched three victories, all via tech fall.
