Berge playing catch and release is my favorite berge
157 R1: Berge vs. Andrew Cerniglia (Navy)
I'm going to use AC for his opponent.
Per 1
AC in quickly on a single, has Berge dancing, and Berge kicks away, and they go OOB with 2:40 left. Berge in on a single, AC fights, and eventually a stalemate with 1:33 left. AC reaches, nothing. Berge tries a snap, nothing. AC drives in and they go OOB with 1:14 left. Berge grabs a low ankle but loses it. Berge with a snap down near the end, and gets the TD just after the buzzer. End
Per 2
Berge takes bottom. He's up quickly, then gets out as they go OOB with 1:50 left. AC in quickly, nothing. AC in on a single, Berge sprawls, and a stalemate with 1:29 left. AC reaches, Berge with a counter and gets behind for the TD, 3-0. AC to his feet. Berge with an ankle pick and gets the TD late, 5-1. End
Per 3
AC to his feet and he's out, 5-2. Berge with a single and gets the TD, 7-2, and he cuts him, 7-3. Berge with an ankle pick for a TD, 9-3. And he cuts him, 9-4. Berge with another TD off a double, 11-4. RT goes over 1 min. Stall warning on AC on the bottom. End. With 1:45 of RT it's a 12-4 Major for Berge!

Fun fact: Ben Askren, Willie Saylor & Willie’s unnamed MatScout sidekick all picked Cerniglia to beat Berge. Askren had him going to the semis!
That’s a Hell of a start boys!!!
If only Rooks hung on vs Murin.

Askren also got in trouble on the plane ride. He wasn't putting his mask back on fast enough between sips of coffee, and got yelled at. Bad day for him.
Well that round couldn’t have went much better. Really proud of Robbie and I love seeing Berge turning on the offense and making sure to get bonus. Bonus is going to be huge in this tournament
Does anyone know what mat Pletcher/Carton is on?
Chase Saldate from MSU is my underdog to watch out for. 15 seed. Only a freshman but he is really good and fun to watch
Brady needs to trust his shots. He can attack multiple ways With the single, double, ankle pick etc. He’s way to talented to be in 3-3 matches with guys late in the third. He’s good enough to be majoring guys if he just commits and goes.
mat4- I think they are in the hole...

Let's keep it going, PSU

Actually, it's the Enterprise. The tourney is at the Enterprise Center. Get it?
Trivia note: The founder of Enterprise Car Rental, who has the naming rights to the Enterprise Center, served on the Enterprise during WWII and named his company after the ship.
It would be great not to hear that question again in the next three days.....
