Zanetta had some nice shots in the match.

 

[GoneFisching]

He sure did, far more aggressive than I would have guessed.

 

[GoneFisching]

3-2 Win for Mack. I expected more from Mack, but its a win. Gustofson proved tough.

133 - Mack (Pitt) dec Gustafson (VT) 3-2 .... Pitt up 6-0*

Yeah, Mack wrestled defensively after he got the 3-1 lead, even got a stalling point called against him late.

Three straight scoreless opening periods to start the match. Very evenly matched so far, glad we're getting the upper hand thus far.

 

[goalieman]

141 - Bright (Pitt) dec Spjut (VT) 2-1 .... Pitt up 9-0 ......

great job of riding by Bright (escape and riding time points for Bright).

 

[GoneFisching]

Man these matches have been tight. Great start for PITT though after Bright road his way to victory.

Finally some first period scoring courtesy of Racciato. Looking for the upset over #17 Neibert. He's really being aggressive!

Last match, I thought Racciato ran out of gas late .... we'll see what happens tonight.

 

[GoneFisching]

Great effort for Racciato, we'll see if they overturn the call.

 

[goalieman]

149 - Neibert (VT) dec Racciato (Pitt) 6-4 ..... Pitt up 9-3 ......

Neibert got back points at the end to win but replay looked like Racciato had the reversal and back points ..... will have to have thom67 weigh in on that.

Re: 149 - Neibert (VT) dec Racciato (Pitt) 6-4 ..... Pitt up 9-3 ......


Yeah I'm lost how that wasn't a reversal.

Looked like they should have overturned it but they did not after video review ....... I'd like to hear what "thom67" thought about that or any other wrestling experts on the board.

Heartbreaker watching Garbinsky get hurt and now getting abused. Let's hope he can avoid a pin. But a major loss.

 

[goalieman]

157 - Mastriani (VT) tech fall over Gabinsky (Pitt) 28-13, 6:09 .....

Pitt up 9-8 ..... looked like Garbinski pulled a hamstring during the match and couldn't move or defend.

That was painful to watch ....... looked like Garbinsky pulled a hamstring and couln't move or defend..... he was a sitting duck for take downs.

He showed a lot of heart saving the team point.

ARGH!!!!! Sucks for Morelli.

 

[goalieman]

165 - Moon (VT) dec Morelli (Pitt) 2-1 .... VT leads 11-9 ......

Moon reversed Morelli with 5 or 6 sec to go in the 3rd period..... tough loss for Pitt.

 

[goalieman]

Rangers 2 Pens 1, early 2nd period ......

shot from the point .... Fleury was screened and never saw the shot.

Major for Wilps, as expected. Need two of three to finish this match!

I must say, being able to finally watch a match on ESPN3 has been awesome. Look forward to the next two!
