St. Louis, Mo. - The Saint Lunatics were out in full force at the 2005 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships on Friday night. Only these one's weren't singing and dancing - they were upsetting top seeds. Three more top seeds were knocked out of the semifinal round on Friday evening and the finals are jam-packed with low seeds that are represented by a total of 14 different schools. Oklahoma State has clinched its third consecutive national title, going into the final day with 127.5 team points. The rest of the top five teams are Cornell (71.5 pts.), Michigan (67), Minnesota (66) and Iowa (64). Zack Esposito (149), Johny Hendricks (165), Chris Pendleton (174), Jake Rosholt (197) and Steve Mocco (285) will all compete for the Cowboys in Saturday's championship finals. Esposito downed Michigan freshman Eric Tannenbaum 7-2 to set up a matchup with Philip Simpson of the Army, who defeated Dustin Manotti of Cornell, 8-0. Esposito placed second in the 2004 NCAA Tournament. Simpson is Army's first finalist since Maurice Worthy in 2001. "I think (winning) does a lot (for our program). Ever since high school, college coaches tell you it cannot be done at academies. If you want to be a national champ, don't go to academy. I hope tomorrow proves that's not true," Simpson said after his win. Hendricks stopped Michigan's Ryan Churella 6-2 in his semifinal match. He will face freshman Mark Perry of Iowa in the finals. Pendleton will have a finals rematch with Ben Askren of Missouri, the wrestler Pendleton defeated to win his first NCAA title last year. Pendleton won by technical fall in the semifinals over Joe Mazzurco of Cornell. Askren topped Pete Friedl of Illinois 7-2 in his semifinal match. Rosholt won a barn-burner over B.J. Padden of Nebraska, the wrestler who defeated Rosholt in the Big XII Championships. Rosholt led 5-4 after the first period, but a Padden escape and takedown tied the match at 7-7 heading into the third period. In the end, Rosholt pulled out a 10-9 victory with the final point being awarded for riding time. Rosholt will face Sean Stender of Northern Iowa, who knocked off top-seeded Jon Trenge of Lehigh, 5-3 in the semifinals. Stender used an ankle pick for a takedown with three seconds remaining in the first period and another takedown in the second period for the win. "I was just trying to be patient and not rush my shots. All my shots set up so nice," Stender said. Mocco had no trouble in defeating Indiana's Pat DeGain, 4-0 in his semifinal match. He will next face Kole Conrad of Minnesota, who downed Cain Velasquez of Arizona State 6-2. Perry pulled off one of the biggest upsets of this tournament, defeating undefeated Troy Letters of Lehigh, the defending NCAA champion, 3-0. In the second period, Letters chose bottom. Perry then used a tilt to score three nearfall points on Letters before riding him out the rest of the period. In the third period, Letters rode Perry out, but was unable to turn him for back points to close the gap. "I'm not going to try to get up to give him a chance," Perry said of not standing up to attempt an escape at any point in the third period. "I know he's a top competitor." Hendricks and Perry have met twice this season with Hendricks winning both matchups. Perry was the second Hawkeye to reach the finals, a strong performance for a team that did not have a conference champion. The other Iowa wrestler was eighth-seeded Joe Johnston at 157 lbs. Johnston knocked off 2004 NCAA runner-up Jake Percival of Ohio in a thrilling 9-8 victory. Johnston scored two first period takedowns to take a 4-2 lead. In the second period, Percival tied the match at 4-4 with a takedown, but Johnston snatched the lead back with a reversal near the end of the period. In the third period, Percival tied the score at 8-8 after two escapes and a takedown, but a Johnston escape with 30 seconds remaining gave him the winning point. "I don't want to say that I didn't try my hardest in the regular season, but I think I got it all together," Johnston said. "I'm taking my shots a little better and being a little stingier in leaving myself open for other guys." Johnston will face Ryan Bertin of Michigan, the 2003 NCAA champion, in the finals. Bertin defeated Trent Paulson of Iowa State 10-7. The semifinal session also began with a set of brothers looking to become national champions together - Nick and Andy Simmons of Michigan State. At 125 lbs., Nick, the older brother, face Kyle Ott of Illinois, a wrestler Simmons had never lost to in his career. The match went to the third period scoreless after Ott had chosen neutral in the second period, though Ott was deep on several single-leg shot attempts. Late in the second period, Simmons appeared to have rolled Ott to his back, but the officials ruled that Simmons had scissored the body, and in turn, waved off the points. In the third period, Simmons earned an escape for a 1-0 lead, but the officials awarded Ott one point when they ruled that Simmons had scissored Ott's head. In overtime, Ott shot in on a double-leg and finished for his first career win over Simmons, and his first appearance in the NCAA finals. "I had the same shot two or three times," Ott said of his overtime takedown. "In the end I was able to shift my shoulder in and shift my hips in and get my shot." Ott will face Joe Dubuque of Indiana, who upset top seed Sam Hazewinkel of Oklahoma, 3-1. Dubuque scored a takedown as time expired in the second period to take a 3-0 lead in the match, and he never had to look back from there. "I didn't feel any pressure. Seeds are seeds, they are made to be broken," Dubuque said. "We wanted to keep the match at my pace and work on my takedowns." Ott has won both of his meetings with Dubuque so far this season. Andy Simmons lost a 2-0 semifinal bout with top seed Nate Gallick of Iowa State at 141 lbs. After Gallick rode Simmons out in the second period, the Cyclone chose bottom in the third period hoping to take a lead. Gallick was awarded one stalling point and then earned an escape after Simmons had erased the riding time for the 2-0 lead. Gallick will face Big XII rival Teyon Ware of Oklahoma in the finals. Ware dominated Michael Keefe of Tennessee-Chattanooga, winning by an 18-3 technical fall. Gallick and Ware have wrestled four times in their careers, with Gallick winning all four. "(Ware) is hard to wrestle as well. He's a tough competitor. He has real good defense. We've wrestled each other so much there isn't much about him I don't know and vice versa," Gallick said. At 133 lbs., Travis Lee of Cornell will face Shawn Bunch of Edinboro in tomorrow night's final. They split two matches between them this year. Lee, a 2003 NCAA champion, earned his second career finals trip with a first-period pin over Tom Clum of Wisconsin. Lee locked up a cradle late in the period and was awarded the pin with five seconds left. Bunch held on for a 6-4 win over freshman Mack Reiter of Minnesota. Bunch controlled the action in the neutral position, but Reiter stayed in the match thanks to two penalty points he was awarded for Bunch pulling on his singlet. "His singlet was loose and my hands kept on getting caught in it. The ref was saying I was grabbing it but it just kept getting caught on his singlet. It wasn't on purpose," Bunch said. "It's going to be a close match. It's going to be a real good match. Every time we have wrestled we have close matches. Since high school, we have went back and forth. A couple of times this year he always kept coming back and going hard at me. I am ready for him this time around," Bunch said of pending finals match with Lee. Greg Jones will seek his third NCAA title on Saturday evening after he defeated Brian Glynn of Illinois 5-2 in the semifinals at 184 lbs. Jones will meet up with Cornell's Tyler Baier, who downed Travis Pascoe of Nebraska 10-8. The NCAA Division I championship matches will begin at 4:00 p.m. (Central Time).
