Nick Suriano, Anthony Ashnault Capture Cliff Keen Titles for Rutgers Wrestling

They both rolled through their brackets and boy was it enjoyable.

Nick Suriano and Anthony Ashnault both captured a gold medal at the Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Suriano kicked things off with an 11-3 win over Micky Phillippi of Pittsburgh to remain undefeated. It was a surprising bout after Phillippi upset Ohio State’s Luke Pletcher. It was all Suriano from the get go, using tremendous hand defense and counter attacks to keep Phillippi off balance. The constant pressure led to the major decision for Suriano and now he states his case to be the No.
