The This NCAA championship for CMU has been a great one so far.  The three seeded wrestlers they had in the tourney are advancing.  Ben Bennett (174 lbs.), Scotti Sentes (133 lbs.),  and Jarod Trice (heavyweight and has a career record of 75-20) all won the first round games of the NCAA tourney.  The only CMU wrestler not to win was Donny Corbie (149), who is competing in a consolation bracket from now on.

Scotti Sentes, the eleven seed, faced a tough matchup in West Virginia's Nathan Pennesi.  With a two takedowns in the first and third periods, Sentes won easily, 7-0.

Ben Bennett, the six seed, faced the formidable Alex Caruso from Rutgers.  The majority of Bennett's points came in the second period, where he was able to use a multitude of moves to pull out to a 5-0 lead.  Bennett ultimately won on an 8-0 decision.

Finally, the heavyweight 2-seed Jarod Trice was able to move on to the next round with a quick 3-1 decision, getting a victory over Josh Wine of VMI.

Since Corbie lost, I don't feel a need to explain that.

Bennett, Sentes, and Trice will be advancing into the championship bracket.  

Second Round matchups:

• Scotti Sentes will face Tony Ramos (Iowa)
• Ben Bennett will face Curran Jacobs (Michigan State)
  
• Jarod Trice will face  Ricardo Alcala (Indiana)
• And Donnie Corbie will face either Ryan Medved (Gardner-Webb) or Matt Lester (Oklahoma) in the first round of the consolation bracket.
