Team Scores | Final Brackets As a team, the Quakers placed six wrestlers in the semifinal round and finished the day second in the standings behind only Northwestern. A relatively unknown -- he wrestled just eight times in 2011-12 before suffering an injury -- Cobb is making strides to join the discussion of top 141-pounders in the EIWA after running from the No. 5 seed to the title. The big win, undoubtedly, was his 4-0 defeat of top-seeded Steven Keith (Harvard) in the semifinals. Ranked 13th in the country, Keith had bested Cobb three times in a row earlier in their careers, including a one-point defeat last weekend at the Binghamton Open. Cobb got the edge in the semis on his home mats, however, building a 4-0 lead through two periods and earning the shutout. In the final, Cobb defeated seventh-seeded Jameson Oster (Northwestern), 3-1, in sudden victory. Both men were aggressive throughout the match, Cobb finally finishing a scramble midway through overtime for the win. Bethea went through three tough matches to get the title at 184. After a major decision to start the day, Bethea took down second-seeded Ophir Bernstein (Brown), 6-4, in sudden victory. In the semifinals, Bethea avenged a tiebreaker loss to Clint Morrison (Rider) last week at Binghamton with a 3-2 win in a tiebreaker. The final saw Bethea down Harvard's No. 4 seed, Cameron Croy, 3-1, in sudden victory via a takedown on the edge right in front of the Harvard bench. Penn's third finalist, Rappo, won his first match in more than 18 months in convincing fashion, 20-5, and moved on to the final via a 5-4 decision over Bloomsburg's Sean Boylan and a 9-3 decision over Brown's Billy Waterson. In the final, sixth-seeded Dominick Malone (Northwestern) scored first, but Rappo came back to tie the match and force overtime. The two engaged in a scramble 20 seconds into sudden victory, a position deemed in control by Malone for a disappointing end to Rappo's return. Ian Korb advanced to the semifinals at 174 pounds before finishing fourth. The highlight of his day was a win in the quarterfinals over Giussepi Lanzi of Brown, 11-10. Korb got caught on his back midway through the first period and was quickly down, 7-1, before rallying to win the match on riding time in a high-scoring tilt. Heavyweight Kyle Cowan was fourth in his first tournament since the 2011 EIWAs, going 4-2 on the day including a fall. Andrew Lenzi finished fifth at 149 pounds, reaching the semifinals and finishing his day with a 13-7 win over Northwestern's Dylan Marriott in the fifth-place match. Casey Kent finished sixth at 165 pounds, going 3-1 in the championship bracket with two major decisions and a technical fall before a loss to top-seeded and national No. 14 Pierce Harger of Northwestern in the semis. The Quakers will head to Stillwater Okla. For a dual with No. 3 Oklahoma State on Nov. 25 to open the dual portion of the 2012-13 season.
