Boise State Softball Team Beats Fresno State in Dramatic Style

Boise State has just defeated Fresno State 3-2 in ten innings in the Mountain West Conference opening softball game for both teams.  Details to follow.

Swartz Will Wrestle for Seventh or EighthTomorrow Night

Jacob lost 5-2 in his consolation semifinal match to Kevin Steinhaus of Minnesota.

Instead, Steinhaus Gets Takedown

Swartz about to lose to a lower-ranked wrestler.  It's 5-2 with 49 seconds left.

About to Start Third Period

Steinhaus gets quick escape.  Swartz needs to go for it.  He has nothing to lose.

Swartz with Second Period Escape

1:28 left.  Tied at 2 but Jacob needs a takedown.

Swartz Gets Escape

1:28 remaining in first period, trails 2-1.

Swartz Wrestling Steinhaus

Steinhaus gets early takedown for 2-0 lead.  If Jacob wins, he will wrestle for third or fourth tomorrow.  If he loses, he will finish either fifth or sixth.

Swartz About to Wrestle Kevin Steinhaus

The winner moves on to tomorrow's consolation final.

Confirmation of Stall

J.T. had the 3-2 win, but in the final seconds, the Oklahoma State wrestler was given a point when the official said Felix stalled.  That tied the match and sent it to overtime.  Marsden then got the takedown in OT and Felix is done for the year.

Horrible way to go out.

Boise State in 22nd

at the NCAA Wrestling Championships with 14.5 points.

Marsden Gets Takedown in OT

Wins 5-3.

Marsden Ties

Marsden awarded a late point--have no idea why.  Felix was leading the match 3-2, perhaps a stall point?

They go to overtime.

Felix with the Escape

1:18 left, J.T. with the narrow 3-2 lead.

Felix Down to Start Third

Match tied at two.  Felix needs to get up within the first minute to hold his lead.

Marsden with Quick Escape

Match tied at two in the second period.

Felix with an Early Takedown

Not a long hold though, and Marsden gets the escape.  Felix leads 2-1 with less than a minute gone by.

J.T. Felix Up Next

Felix tries to do what Jake Swartz just did--become an All-American.  He will have to get by the #11 wrestler at 285 pounds, Austin Marsden of Oklahoma State.

Swartz Wins 6-5

He's in the semifinals of consolation and guaranteed a Top eight spot in the nation.

Congrats Jacob!

Swartz Gets Takedown with 5 Seconds Left

It appears Jacob will win and will be a 2014 All-American!

Swartz in trouble now.

Quick Escape for Loder

1:04 remaining, and Swartz clinging to a 3-2 lead.

Swartz with a Takedown

1:34 left in the match, he leads 3-1.

Loder with the Escape

Third round now in a 1-1 tie.
