It was a tale of two halves on Saturday afternoon in Madison Square Garden where the No. 23 Rutgers wrestling team (8-5, 3-4) lost 21-16 to No. 25 Michigan (6-3, 5-1). The Scarlet Knights and Michigan each won five bouts, but it was the Wolverines who secured more bonus points to win the dual.
The match started at 125 pounds, which ended up being the key swing match that Michigan needed to win the meet. No. 16 Nicolas Aguilar dropped a 2-1 decision to unranked Jack Medley which put Michigan on the board first. Aguilar is in a bit of a funk as of late, losing three matches in a row including two to unranked opponents.
