Two Semifinalists Among Six Tigers Headed into Friday at Midlands

Quincy Monday (165) and Luke Stout (197) will wrestle in Friday's semifinals at the Midlands Championships at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill., two of the six Princeton wrestlers who won their way into the event's final day.

Monday, a senior ranked No. 1 in the nation at 157 pounds by several ranking outlets, made his non-exhibition collegiate debut at 165 and won all four of his matches in Thursday's sessions, two by fall over N.C. State's Derek Fields and unattached Cleveland State wrestler Tate Geiser, and Monday was one point from taking each of the first three with bonus-point margins. Monday defeated Missouri's James Conway 10-3 in the round of 16. Thursday night, Monday was a 6-2 winner over 16th-ranked Holden Heller of Pittsburgh, getting a takedown just more than a minute into the first period and leading the rest of the way. Monday will take on Illinois' No. 15-ranked Dan Braunagel of Illinois in Friday's semifinals.

Rookie Kole Mulhauser won twice to make the quarterfinals at 174, first 7-3 over Northwestern's Ankha Enkhmandakh and then with an overtime takedown against Wisconsin's James Rowley, 3-1. Central Michigan's Alex Cramer ended Mulhauser's main-draw run with a 4-0 win, but Mulhauser will have the chance to keep on wrestling for a placewinning finish, starting his Friday against Franklin & Marshall's Noah Fox in a consolation match.

Stout, ranked No. 14 in the nation and seeded third in the tournament, went 3 for 3 in winning matches with bonus-point margins, starting with a first-period pin against Wisconsin's Michael Talshahar and following that with a major-decision win over Central Michigan's Cameron Wood. In the quarterfinals, Stout defeated Penn's Cole Urbas, ranked No. 33 in the nation, 20-4 with a third-period technical fall. Illinois No. 13-ranked Zac Braunagel is ahead in Friday's semifinal.

Along with Monday and Stout in the quarterfinals, Sean Pierson (133), Rocco Camillaci (149) and Nate Dugan (184) will join Mulhauser in consolation matches Friday.

As a team, Princeton stands ninth. Wisconsin leads at 78.5 points, followed by Northwestern (63), Pittsburgh (61.5), Rutgers (60), Penn (58), Illinois (48.5), West Virginia (48.5 and SIU Edwardsville (44.5) with Princeton at 42.5.
