13 UNI Overpowers American Wrestling February 15, 2003
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- The American University registered three wins against No. 13 Northern Iowa but lost 28-12 Saturday night in West Gym. Adam Montgomery (Belmont, Calif./Junipero Serra) was impressive at 174-lbs., capturing a win by fall over Josh Lawrenz at 4:41. The two were tangled at 4-4 after the first period but Montgomery's early aggression paid off with a sitting pin in the second. AU junior Aviv Bercovicz (Ocean, N.J./Ocean Township) kept Panther Steve Ertl within striking distance throughout at 149-lbs., trailing 2-1 at the end of the first and 4-3 after two periods. Tied at 5-5 when Bercovicz retaliated with a takedown in the third, it took the Eagle just five seconds to win 7-5 in overtime with a takedown. At 165-lbs., American's Aaron Baker (Amarillo, Texas./Tascosa) was tied with Jeff Harrison 3-3 after two and registered a pair of takedowns in the third for a 7-5 lead. With 30 seconds left, Harrison responded with an escape to come within one, but Baker secured the win with his third takedown and a 9-7 decision. American heads to Virginia on Saturday, Feb. 22 for a 1 p.m. start. It will be the Eagles' last dual meet before the EIWA National Qualifiers on Mar. 5-6 at Cornell University. NORTHERN IOWA
