Hoosier Wrestling placed second at the 2013 Keystone Classic, besting three Top-25 teams in the final standings. Indiana's strong performance came on the back of four individual finalists, including tournament champions Ethan Raley (141 lbs) and Taylor Walsh (157 lbs).

In addition to titles for Raley and Walsh, runne-ups Luke Sheridan (184 lbs) and Adam Chalfant (285 lbs) also reached the finals. Joe Duca (125 lbs) and Ryan LeBlanc (165 lbs) each placed fifth in their respective weight classes.

#21 Bloomsburg took the team crown with 117 points, followed by Indiana's 108 points. The rest of the top-6 (out of 12 teams) read like this: 3rd - #18 Northwestern, 100.5; 4th - #13 Pittsburgh, 95; 5th - Arizona State, 84; 6th - #22 Rider, 82.

Walsh's redshirt junior campaign has been impeccable to this point; reflected by three tournament championships (EMU Open, MSU Open & Keystone Classic), a flawless 15-0 season record that includes an impressive 12 pins.

Cornell's Kyle Dake led all of Division-I wrestling with 18 falls for the entire 2012-13 season. Just four weeks into this season, Walsh's 33 career pins already rank as the ninth most in school history and the dozen falls in '13 are just one shy of cracking the single-season top-10. Walsh capped off his Keystone Classic trophy run by sticking Penn's Raamiah Bethea in front of the home Quakers crowd. He completely dominated the finals bout, leading 13-0 at the time of the pin.

Raley improved to 13-3 on the year, picking up four wins en route to his 141-pound crown. He had to get through the #1 seed along the way, topping Northwestern's top-seeded and 28th-ranked Pat Greco by the final score of 14-11 in a wild semifinals showdown.

Sheridan earned his third top-3 finish in as many tournaments this season, including his second straight trip to the finals. His season mark sits at 14-3 after taking three of four bouts at the Keystone Classic.

Chalfant suffered his first defeat of the season, but not before reaching his second straight tournament finals (won the MSU Open on Nov. 9). The loss was a tough one, dropping a 3-1 decision in the first tiebreaker. Chalfant, the 2012 Keystone Classic champion, handed 29th-ranked Eloheim Palma (Campbell) an 8-3 decision in the semifinals.

Duca tallied four wins on the day with his two losses both coming against nationally-ranked foes. He put an exclamation point on his performance at the end, pinning Boston's Chris McGinley in the fifth-place bout.

LeBlanc has found the stand in all three tournaments of 2012-13, placing fifth in Philadelphia. He opened the championship bracket with a tech fall and the wrestleback with a fall. In total, LeBlanc went 4-2 on Sunday to move his overall mark to 16-4.

Redshirt freshman Nate Jackson made his Hoosier debut, splitting four matches at 174 pounds. Both his wins brought bonus points along, further aiding the IU team score with a pin and major decision.

The #25 Indiana University wrestling team (5-0) shined on Day One of the 2013 Hoosier Duals, going 3-0 and outscoring the competition by a combined scored of 87-18. All 10 Hoosier starters got in on the success, each winning at least two of three bouts and half (5) the lineup going a perfect 3-0. In total, Indiana won 25 of 30 bouts on the day.

No opponent reached double-digit point against the Cream and Crimson on Saturday as IU topped Northern Colorado (2-4), Drexel (3-9) and VMI (1-7) by final margins of 32-9, 29-9 and 46-0, respectively. The blanking of VMI marks Indiana's first Division-I shutout since besting Clarion 49-0 on Jan. 18, 2009.

Redshirt junior Taylor Walsh continued his 2013-14 pinning clinic, sticking all three foes to improve to 18-0 with 15 falls just over a month into the season. The 6th-ranked 157-pounder in the country now owns a share of fifth place all-time at IU for pins in a season; and his 36 career falls are slotted sixth in school history. The all-time record for season pins is 19 by Rod Chamberlin in 1981 and Viktor Sveda (1998-2002)'s 47 falls are the career high note.
*Walsh's 15 pins are tied with Bill Paxton (1986), Rod Chamberlin (1980) and Gene Denisar (1968)

Heavyweight Adam Chalfant, ranked eighth nationally, provided the maximum 18 team points as well. He pinned both of his adversaries that took the mat, including #27 Henry Chirino (Northern Colorado) while also accepting a forfeit by Drexel to deliver his 18 points. The redshirt senior improved to 12-1 on the year.

Following Walsh's triumphs at 157 pounds, Indiana did not suffer a defeat in the next three weight classes for the entirety of Day One. Ryan LeBlanc (165 lbs), Nate Jackson (174 lbs) and Luke Sheridan (184 lbs) matched Walsh by also going 3-0. The trio contributed bonus points to the Hoosier effort as well. LeBlanc and Sheridan notched tech falls while Jackson carded a pin and major decision.

Sheridan's action was full of suspense, twice seizing victory in extra time. His first win came in sudden victory, followed by a tiebreaker win in bout number two.

A quintet of Hoosiers took two out of three, a group including: Joe Duca (125 lbs), Chris Caton (133 lbs),Ethan Raley (141 lbs), Alex Gregory (149 lbs) and Garret Goldman (197 lbs). Bonus points came from Duca (tech fall), Caton (two major decisions) and Raley (tech fall).

West Virginia (6-2) was victorious in each of its three duals Saturday as well, setting up a likely Hoosier

Duals title match against the Hoosiers on Sunday at 11 a.m. Indiana will also face SIUE at approximately 1 p.m. to wrap up the round-robin affair.

Chalfant gets a pin. Hoosiers win 28-9. 

‏@HoosierDuals: Round Five Team Scores: Indiana 28, SIUE 9 ... Drexel 29, VMI 12 ... WVU 35, N. Colorado 4

Hoosier Wrestling split a pair of duals on Day Two of the Hoosier Duals, coming up a tiebreaker short of a perfect 5-0 weekend. Individually, a quartet of Hoosiers did complete the flawless 5-0 Hoosier Duals mark though.

Taylor WalshRyan LeBlancLuke Sheridan and Adam Chalfant each arose victorious five times over the weekend, leading #25 Indiana to four team wins. The Hoosiers battled back from a 15-0 deficit to West Virginia (6-2) in Sunday's opener, coming back to even the score at 21-21. The officials had to dig deep into the rule book to determine a dual winner, ultimately decided on the third tiebreaker criteria. West Virginia's 32-29 advantage in non-fall bout points was the difference, giving the Mountaineers a 22-21 (TB) win. Indiana then bounced back against SIUE, topping the Cougars 28-9.

Walsh extended his pinning parade, posting two more falls on Sunday. He has now stuck 10 consecutive opponents and owns a 20-0 record with 17 pins. That total is good for third place all-time in IU history and his 38 career falls rank fifth in school history. The school records are 19 (Rod Chamberlin, 1981) and 47 (Viktor Sveda, 1998-2002) for single season and career falls, respectively.

Sheridan provided six team points in the Hoosier comeback effort against WVU as well, executing a head lock pin in under a minute. Goldman took the mat next, and kept the Hoosiers alive by grinding out a 6-5 decision over WVU's Mac Mancuso at 197 pounds. Goldman was a riding machine in the Hoosier Duals, racking up riding time and earning the bonus point in each of his four wins.

Chalfant then capped off his undefeated weekend, pulling IU even at 21 points apiece on the strength of a 6-3 decision over A.J. Vizcarrondo. Sheridan's season record improves to 19-3, Chalfant's 14-1 and LeBlanc's ledger now sits at 21-4. After dropping his first bout of the Hoosier Duals, Goldman fired back to take the next four and move to 9-8 on the year. 

Joe Duca and Ethan Raley each contributed a win on Sunday as well, both going 3-2 for the event.
