Almost

It came just a little too late for Jay Weitzel in the 132 pound title bout, but he almost pulled things out with this cradle combination on Lake Shore's Jerry Nugent with only seconds to go in the final period. Trailing 7-2, Weitzel worked the cradle to pick up three points for a near fall, but Nugent was able to bridge off one shoulder and his head to keep from being pinned in the closing 18 seconds of the bout, forcing Weitzel to settle for second place.
