Assistant coach Ben Bennett watches as redshirt sophomore Jordan Ellingwood wrestles at the MAC wrestling tournament at the Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center on Sunday, March 6, 2016.
When Jordan Ellingwood stood across the mat from top-seeded 184-pounder Willie Miklus of Missouri on Saturday, he wasn't the same wrestler Miklus pinned in less than three minutes on Jan. 17 at McGuirk Arena.
Instead, Ellingwood beat Miklus with a takedown in the match's final seconds to advance to the finals, where the redshirt sophomore went on to beat two-time defending Mid-American Conference 184-pound champion Jack Dechow of Old Dominion.
