The championship bouts will be streamed live on Watch ESPN. By Christopher Coombs Des Moines, Iowa (2 Mar 2018) - The No. 5-ranked Lindsey Wilson wrestling team sits in fourth place after day one of the NAIA Wrestling National Championships on Friday at the Jacobson Exhibition Center. The Blue Raiders ended Friday with 50 total team points. Grand View (Iowa) leads the field with 98.5 points, followed by Cumberlands (KY) with 67 and Missouri Valley with 56.5 points. Five Lindsey Wilson grapplers remain alive in their respective double-elimination brackets. Cam Tessari (seeded No. 1 at 149 pounds) and Diorian Coleman (No. 7 at 165) both reached the championship semifinals. Brady Moser (No. 8 at 133), Colton Gonzalez (No. 7 at 174) and Brandon Reed (No. 10 at heavyweight) suffered one loss and are wrestling in the consolation bracket. All five wrestlers will receive All-American honors for their performances at the championship as one of the final eight grapplers remaining in their respective weight brackets. Tessari won his three Friday matches to advance to the championship bracket semifinals of the 149-pound weight class. The No. 1 seed got his tournament started with a 16-0 technical fall in six minutes and 23 seconds over Gabe Bloough of Saint Mary (KS) and then defeated Jake Wilson of Midland (NE) 3-2. The junior from Monroeville, Ohio then punched his ticket to Saturday's placement rounds with a pin over Kyle Lee (No. 8 at 149) of Williams Baptist (AR). Halfway through the first period, Tessari recorded a takedown and transitioned into 4-point near fall to take a 6-0 lead into the second period. A stalling point and a takedown in the second frame gave Tessari a 10-0 lead before he pinned his opponent to the mat at the 4:55 mark. Tessari now faces Joseph Alexander of Simpson (CA) in Saturday's championship bracket semifinals. Alexander upset the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds to reach the semis. After a first round bye, Coleman opened his day at 165 pounds with an 8-1 decision over Dalton Tipton (No. 10 at 165) of Missouri Valley. Coleman then earned a spot in Saturday's placement rounds with a 6-4 decision over Austin Coy of York (Neb.). Coy took a 1-0 lead into the third period, but an early stalling call and an escape gave Coleman a 2-1 lead. With just over a minute left Coleman added a takedown, but an escape cut his lead to 4-2 with 53 seconds remaining. Coy tied things up late in the period but another stalling call and escape gave Coleman the two point victory. The senior from Mesa, Arizona is set to face Andrew Simmons (No. 3 at 165) from Missouri Valley in Saturday's championship bracket semifinals. Moser defeated Julian Melecio of York (Neb.) by a 4-2 decision and then produced a 14-5 major decision victory over Cartland Allen (No. 9 at 133) of Graceland (Iowa) in his first two bouts at 133 pounds. Moser fell into the consolation bracket when he lost to Mid-South Conference foe Jake Sinkovics (No. 1 at 133) of Cumberlands by way of a 3-0 decision. Moser trailed 1-0 with seconds remaining in the match when he attempted a takedown, but Sinkovics denied the effort and scored a takedown of his own in the final seconds. In the consolation bracket, Moser again topped Allen of Graceland, this time by way of a 2-0 decision. Moser picked up a stalling point in the second period and then was able to ride out the entire third period to pick up the riding time point for a 2-0 victory. The junior from Coral Springs, Florida is still alive in the placement bracket after day one of the competition and will compete against Trevor Murano (No. 5 at 133) of Grand View (Iowa). Gonzalez received a first round bye at 174 pounds and then squared off with Adrian Lyons-Lopez (No. 10 at 174) of Providence (MT) where he lost in a 6-4 during sudden victory. In the consolation bracket, Gonzalez received a bye and then defeated Joseph McAleavey from Bacone (OK) with a 9-5 decision. Gonzalez then topped Deandre Chery (No. 12 at 174) of Concordia (NE) with an 11-5 decision. The sophomore from Connersville, Indiana is still alive in the placement bracket and faces Chris Nile (No. 9 at 174) of Montana State-Northern.

Reed fell into the consolation bracket when he lost in an 8-7 decision to Williams Baptist's Demetriu Thomas (No. 2 at heavyweight), Reed suffering a last-second takedown as Thomas stole the match late. Reed was able to stay alive in his next match against Matt Hopkins (No. 6 at heavyweight) of Providence when he was able to break a 2-2 tie in the third period with an escape and then a takedown. Hopkins escaped to cut the lead to 5-3 but a late takedown by Reed sealed the 7-3 win. The freshman from Louisville, Kentucky is the final Blue Raider alive in the placement bracket after day one of the competition. He will compete against Bryson McGowan (No. 7 at heavyweight) of Oklahoma City. Brett Bradford (No. 4 at 165) won his first two matches of the day by way of technical falls. He first defeated Bryan Overton of West Virginia Tech on a 19-2 victory in 5:57 and then took down Josh Romero of Benedictine (KS) 20-2 in 7:00. The junior then fell to the consolation bracket with a 6-4 sudden victory loss to Brett Johnson (No. 12 at 165) of Marian (IN). After two periods Bradford found himself trailing 2-1, but an escape after starting the period down leveled the score at 2-2. Bradford then received one penalty point, but a quick takedown by Johnson and an escape by Bradford sent the bout to extra time where Bradford was taken down for his first loss of the day. His tournament came to a close in his next match when he suffered an 11-2 major decision loss to Mitch Roadruck (No. 8 at 165) of Indiana Tech. Chad Lampe got his day started at 125 pounds with a 3-1 decision over Pierce Mederios of York, but then fell to the consolation bracket when he was pinned by Matthew Nguyen (No. 2 at 125) of Grand View. Lampe then faced Lucas Nelson of Brewton-Parker (GA) where he was able to hold on and win a 6-5 decision. But Lampe's tournament came to an end after a 1-0 decision loss to Sawyer Miller (No. 7 at 125) from Indiana Tech. Bryce Hoffman, wrestling at 157 pounds, opened his tournament with a win against Antonio Robinson of Reinhardt (GA) after Robinson was disqualified. Hoffman then fell to the consolation bracket when he lost to Chris Vaughan (No. 4 at 157) of Hastings (NE) on a 15-7 major decision. The sophomore survived another round when he upset Jahwon Akui (No. 3 at 157) of Midland (NE) with a 7-5 sudden victory overtime takedown.
