[ccgeneral 38,084]

Redshirt junior Taylor Walsh opened the 2013-14 season with a bang, cruising to the Clarion Open 157-pound title. He pinned his first four opponents before capping off the championship with a 7-1 decision in the finals.

Three more Hoosiers finished in the top-three of their respective weight classes, including fellow finalist Ethan Raley in his 141 lbs. runner-up showing.Ryan LeBlanc (165 lbs) and Luke Sheridan (184 lbs) each won six of seven bouts on the day, both placing third.

A large contingent of Hoosiers posted 3-2 records on the day, including Alex Gregory (149 lbs), Eric Roach (149 lbs), Neal Molloy (149 lbs; unattached), Matt Irick (174 lbs) and Garret Goldman (197 lbs).

Walsh, ranked ninth nationally, breezed to the top of the stand. He pinned the first foes he stepped on the mat with before surrendering a lone point to Ohio State's Randell Languis in a 7-1 crown-clinching finals decision. Just one day into his junior season, Walsh has racked up 25 career falls (six shy of IU's all-time top-10).

Raley, a transfer from Lincoln College, was victorious in the first five bouts to start his Hoosier career. He reached the 141-pound finals before running into #31 Laike Gardner from Lehigh and placing second his Division-I wrestling debut.

The 14th-ranked 165-pounder in the country, LeBlanc, began his senior campaign with a major decision. His second major of the tournament came later in the wrestleback as part of a four-bout winning streak to complete a third-place effort.

Sheridan, tabbed #29 nationally at 184 pounds, was dealt a one-point loss by Zach Diekel of Lehigh in the first round, setting up a long journey through the wrestleback. The junior from California battled his way to six consecutive triumphs, including a bit of redemption in the third-place match. Sheridan faced off against Diekel once again, settling the score with a 6-1 decision to place third.

Indiana is back at it Saturday (Nov. 9) traveling to the Michigan State Open.

Well Done Hoosiers!  

Four of 10 weight classes at the Michigan State Open featured a Hoosier in the finals, including a pair of IU champions in Taylor Walsh(157 lbs) and heavyweight Adam Chalfant. Ryan LeBlanc and Luke Sheridanalso reached the title bout, finishing as runner-ups at 165 and 184 pounds, respectively. No team scores were kept for the event.

Walsh mimicked his Big-Ten-Wrestler-of-the-Week-winning performance at the Clarion Open last week, going 5-0 with a dominating four falls. The redshirt junior out of Cherry Hill, N.J., is now 10-0 with eight pins on the season and was ranked ninth nationally entering the tournament. Just two weeks into that junior campaign, Walsh is already knocking on the door of Indiana's all-time record books. His 29 career pins are two shy of cracking the school's top-10.

Chalfant, also ranked ninth nationally in his weight class, made his 2013-14 debut Saturday. He came out with a bang, topping a pair of top-10 foes en route to his second career tournament title (2012 Keystone Classic). Chalfant preceded his 5-3 finals victory over #7 Mike McClure (Michigan State) with a second-period pin of #8 Jeremy Johnson (Ohio) in the semifinals.

LeBlanc improved to 10-2 on the year with four major decisions. He added a pair of majors in East Lansing as part of a 4-1 performance good for runner-up honors at 165 pounds, where he was ranked 18th nationally this past week.

Likewise, Sheridan put forth another lone-loss effort for the second straight week. He powered into the 184-pound finals on the strength of an overtime takedown, securing a 3-1 decision over #21 John Rizqallah (Michigan State). Sheridan then gave Ohio State's Ken Courts, ranked 8th nationally, all he could handle in a slim 6-4 finals defeat.

Redshirt sophomore Eric Roach had a strong showing as well, victorious in six of seven matches. After dropping his opening bout, he ripped of six consecutive wins to reach the stand. Roach's season record now sits at 9-3.

Additional multi-match winners for IU included Ethan Raley (2-2; 141 lbs), Neal Molloy (2-2; 149 lbs unattached) and Matt Irick (2-2; 174 lbs). Raley and Molloy each advanced to the championship quarterfinals before suffering their first defeats.

In addition, three true freshmen competed in the freshman/sophomore division of the MSU Open. Kyle Springer and Chris Caton both entered the 133-pound bracket and found success. Springer, the runner-up, began with three straight major decisions and four in a row overall to reach the finals. Meanwhile, Caton had his hand raised after five of six matches to also place at 133 lbs.
