It's the same story, different day. We gave up pins and we lost. If we don't give up the pins, then we win the dual-meet.

It's really hard to tell. He's having a great year, but if he doesn't have his game on that day - no matter what he did the rest of the season - he's not going to be an All-American.

D'Amico wrestled a smart match. He was facing one of the best heavyweights in the nation and he gave him all he could handle.

It was a back and forth match-up. D'Amico came through for us. I wouldn't say that we reached a turning point after that win, but we raised our intensity level.

We're in a situation where we just can't stop the bleeding. We keep trying to put band-aids on the wound, but nothing seems to help.

When half your team is freshmen and your wrestling a Division 1 schedule you're going to be in trouble. Imagine if half the offense and defense in football were freshman, there'd be real trouble there and we're in that same situation.

They've been using different kids. We don't know much about Brown, but we have to wrestle with just as much intensity as we would in a meet where we knew our opponent.
