Notes -- Boylan with the nice win over R1 runner-up Johnson. A penalty point for illegal head scissor was the difference. Great bout between Haines and the tough freshman Smolinsky. It was 5-3 late, when Smolinsky tried a desperation throw to give up a takedown. He's going to be a real good one. Haines was a R1 runner-up last year and second here.

Notes -- Schuitema leads, 3-2, after two periods. Hooker with a late reversal, doing a nice job of hanging -- he's a pain in the neck to wrestle, and I mean that in a complimentary sense. His long body gives opponents fits. Schuitema with a takedown to start the second period, he's up 5-2.
