Hahn and Volkmann win titles as Gophers finish second at Big
Tens
March 7, 2004
The University of Minnesota wrestling team finished second at the
2004 Big Ten Wrestling Championships in Columbus, Ohio. The Golden
Gophers finished with 124.5 points, trailing first-place Iowa which
finished with 129.5. Seniors Damion Hahn and Jacob Volkmann earned
individual titles for the Golden Gophers and Volkmann shared the
award for the tournament's most outstanding wrestler with Illinois'
Alex Tirapelle.
In addition to two individual titles, redshirt freshman Cole
Konrad finished in third place at heavyweight, while junior Jon
Duncombe placed fourth at 174 pounds. A quartet of Golden Gophers,
Bobbe Lowe at 125, Tommy Owen at 141, Matt Nagel at 157 and Josh
McLay at 184, finished in fifth place. Redshirt freshman Quincy
Osborn placed sixth at 133 pounds.
Minnesota will send nine wrestlers to the NCAA Championships, one
more than last season when the Golden Gophers placed second. Iowa
advanced all 10 of its wrestlers. The Hawkeyes sent five wrestlers to
title matches, but just claimed Cliff Moore's title at 141 pounds.
Hahn became the school's fourth three-time Big Ten Champion with a
7-2 decision against second-seeded Ryan Fulsaas of Iowa. It was
Hahn's third win of the season against Fulsaas. Hahn took an early
lead on a takedown at 1:35 and rode Fulsaas for the remainder of the
first period. He added to his lead in the second with an escape and
another takedown. Fulsaas earned his first points in the third period
on a takedown, but Hahn got the immediate escape. He was awarded a
bonus point for riding time and claimed the title at 197 pounds.
"It means a lot to me, but I'm disappointed we weren't able to
come back against Iowa," Hahn said. "People didn't expect us to
finish this high, but we've been proving the critics wrong towards
the end of the season. A lot of our guys gained valuable experience
this weekend and now we have to get everyone ready for nationals."
Volkmann won his first Big Ten title with a 15-2 major decision
against top-seeded Johnny Clark of Ohio State. The third seed in the
tournament, Volkmann defeated second-seeded Pat Owen of Michigan in
the semifinals on Saturday night. Volkmann finished runner-up at Big
Tens last season.
Volkmann dominated the title match with Clark. He got on the
scoreboard first with a takedown just one minute into the first
period, but a flurry saw Volkmann get near fall points, followed by a
Clark reversal and a Volkmann escape. He added another takedown to
take an 8-2 lead into the second period. Volkmann added to his lead
with back points in the second and then held off Clark in the third
to earn the title.
"It feels good to win the title after finishing second last
season," Volkmann said. "It means a lot for seeding at nationals
which is also important. I thought our team worked hard, but just
came up short. We still have a lot left to accomplish with NCAAs
coming up."
Konrad avenged a pair of defeats during the regular season with a
10-2 major decision against second-seeded Greg Wagner of Michigan.
With the match tied at two in the third, Konrad took over with an
escape followed by a takedown. He added backpoints to earn the major
decision. Konrad advanced to the third-place match with a pin of
Jareck Horton of Wisconsin at 2:29.
Duncombe claimed fourth place in his first Big Ten Championship
after transferring from St. Cloud State prior to this season.
Duncombe was defeated by fifth-seeded Pete Friedl of Illinois, 8-1,
in the third-place match. Friedly controlled the pace throughout and
accumulated more than three minutes of riding time. In the
consolation semifinals, Duncombe's reversal in the third period
proved to be the difference in a 5-3 decision against fourth-seeded
Ralph DeNisco of Wisconsin.
Sixth-seeded Bobbe Lowe claimed fifth place at 125 pounds after
fifth-seeded Mark Moos forfeited due to injury. In the consolation
semifinals, Lowe battled back from an 8-4 deficit to tie his match
against No. 4 Joe Dubuque of Indiana. With less than a minute to go
in the match, Dubuque took a 9-8 lead on an escape and held on for
the victory.
Owen matched Lowe's fifth-place finish at 141 pounds with a
come-from-behind 8-5 decision against sixth-seeded Michael Martin of
Illinois. Owen trailed 5-3 with one minute to go in the match, but
got the takedown and two backpoints to take the lead for good. Owen
was defeated in the consolation semifinals by third-seeded Coyte
Cooper, 13-3.
Nagel made quick work of the seventh-seeded James Woodall to claim
fifth place. Nagel pinned the Nittany Lion in just 1:01 to earn the
victory. Nagel was defeated in the consolation semfinals by
fourth-seeded Joe Johnston of Iowa, 4-1.
Eighth-seeded McLay capped off an impressive run at 184 pounds
with his fifth-place finish. He earned a 9-2 decision against
fourth-seeded Blake Kaplan. Trailing 1-0 in the second, McLay got the
takedown and near fall to take the lead for good. In the consolation
semifinals, McLay dropped a 4-0 decision against No. 7 Nate Mesyn of
Michigan State. McLay pulled off the second biggest upset of the
tournament with his decision against top-seeded Brian Glynn of
Illinois in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
In the 133 pound fifth-place match, Osborn took an early lead 2-0
against fifth-seeded Rene Hernandez of Purdue, but Hernandez rallied
for a 5-2 victory. In the consolation semifinals, Osborn dropped a
6-3 decision against No. 4 Ed Gutnik of Wisconsin.
The Golden Gophers have a two-week hiatus before traveling to St.
Louis, Mo., for the NCAA Championships, March 18-20.
