My thoughts are Ryan caught Vito by surprise in the initial win, and Ryan still was the better wrestler that day. Vito and Cornell coaches had months to prepare and plan for the rematch, and still couldn't get it done. And Vito can't be more challenging now than he was in his final 40 second flurry in the second match, which Ryan fought off without much struggle. I think Vito struggles to penetrate Ryan's defense where Ryan is always in good position, and Ryan's counter to shots brings him takedowns, especially the way he hooks those legs. Great chain wrester. Will be a great match, just like the first two were.

Yeah, but one of the hardest things to do, is to beat a world class wrestler three times in a row.
(Think about the series between Arujau & Glory... talk about that momentum swinging wildly between the both of them!)

Will he interesting to see how refs at NCAA’s react to Crookham’s methodical approach to wrestling Vito and his frenetic pace…. Cornell fans were not happy with no stall calls at EIWA’s , not sure if NCAAA refs will be as slow to hit him with a stall call and that could drastically change match…….to be clear not saying he was stalling, not choosing to wrestle like your opponent is not stalling but as a Lehigh fan even I was surprised he was not dinged in the second period of that match at all……

I think 69 is all right

I actually think Crookham is going to be more aggressive this time to start
