On Saturday Alex Dieringer wrestled World Champion Kyle Dake for the 79 KG World team spot in a best-of-three series in Round Rock, Texas.
In the first match Kyle Dake was put on the shot clock early in the first period. Dieringer managed to hold on and get the shot clock point, but was almost simultaneously pushed out of the circle and gave up one to tie it up. In the second period Dake picked up his own shot clock point and another push out point to go up 3-1. Dieringer got his own push-out late, but ultimately fell 3-2 which put Dake up one match to zero.
