It\u2019s #GivingTuesday and I want to implore you to consider contributing the the Mat Talk Podcast Network. This is more than just podcasts. This show, Short Time Shots, is just a glimpse at what type of news I provide, for free, to the wrestling community at an almost daily basis. Why almost daily? I\u2019ve got a wife and kids, too.\xa0 At the end of each episode, I normally make a plug about contributing. This show and the daily wrestling newsletter is a value for value model. If you find it of value and worthwhile to you, consider making a one-time or small monthly contribution to what you think this is worth to you. If you like it just fine and feel like you\u2019re spending enough on wrestling subscriptions and online offerings, that\u2019s absolutely fine. If you think this is actually worth something more than your time, hey, give that a shot too. You can modify your contribution at any time. Go to mattalkonline.com/contribute to see the various ways you can help out. I\u2019ve got a staff of 10 - fingers. Thanks to Pat Fitzgerald, Trent Kroll, John McCarty and Craig Scharer for their contributions this Tuesday.\xa0 That\u2019s it for the sales pitch, because THIS is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily recap of the scores and more in and around the world of wrestling, I\u2019m Jason Bryant and in the morning, I\u2019m off to Canuckistan! I mean, Canada. In case you\u2019re wondering, yes, I\u2019m announcing the Canadian Olympic Trials. Yes, they hold them in December. They\u2019re in Niagara Falls, which is actually SOUTH of where I live. Why do they set the team so early? Well, I\u2019ll have an investigative, expose, The World In Crisis. Double gold star if you catch THAT reference.\xa0 Dual Meets:\xa0 I\u2019d say Mount Union was pretty pumped up about their win on Tuesday. The Purple Raiders social media accounts quickly tagged me on Twitter (@jasonmbryant) to let me know No. 6 Mount Union beat No. 7 Baldwin Wallace 31-9 in the Yellowjackets own gym. Mount Union head coach Josh Malave with quite the conundrum, having to X out the M in Mount Union\u2019s name all week. The only matchup of ranked foes saw Jordin James, ranked No. 1 at 141 for Mount Union, beat No. 9 Charlie Nash 11-4. Lenny Reich shout out as well! Elsewhere in the Ohio Athletic Conference, No. 21 John Carroll picked up its first shutout in three years, topping the Fighting Muskies of Muskingum 43-0. Fastest fall of the night came at 165, where Canton, Ohio native Luke Reicosky picked up six in 64 seconds.\xa0 Otterbein improved to 5-2 on the season after beating Ohio Northern 30-15. Top-ranked Drew Kasper picked up another W at 285 for the Cardinals, improving to 14-0 on the season and registering his sixth fall of the year.\xa0 And while I\u2019d like to give Mount Union the graphic on Twitter and Instagram, that honor goes to Division II Kentucky Wesleyan. The Panthers won its first dual in school history, topping NAIA Midway 26-19 in Midway, Kentucky. Last year, Kentucky Wesleyan went 0-10 in its maiden season. Kairus Washington\u2019s fall at 285 sealed the deal.\xa0 Sticking with some Division II action, Indianapolis shutout Urbana 48-0.\xa0 In the NAIA, Williams Baptist beat Hannibal-LaGrange 39-15. Anyone get ZZ Top stuck in their head anytime they hear the name Hannibal-LaGrange? No? The Eagles picked up five falls in the American Midwest Conference win.\xa0 In an odd scheduling note, there were two women\u2019s duals initially scheduled on Tuesday, but the North Central-UW-Stevens Point dual was moved to February 18, and the Emmanuel-McKendree dual was canceled. Which can be spelled with one L or two. Cancelled. See. I didn\u2019t get a red underline when I typed it, but you \u2026 can\u2019t actually see that.\xa0 Notables on the Docket: Division II Lander will host its first dual in school history as the Bearcats welcome another first-year program, fellow Division II member and conference mate Mount Olive. Mount Olive won its first dual as a program last week - this is the first time Lander is stepping on the mat for a dual, ever. Kentucky Wesleyan will try to win two in a row as they visit NAIA Thomas More. There will be no more Elisabeth Shue references. Well, there might be.\xa0 In Division III, we have a five duals involving teams from D3 and all five of them are in-state battles. Pitt-Bradford faces Thiel, Southern Virginia faces the new NJCAA program at Southwest Virginia Community College, Fontbonne takes on Westminster, NAIA Lincoln faces Millikin and UW-Stevens Point faces UW-Platteville.\xa0 The NAIA mostly follows suit, as Truett McConnell faces Life, Central Christian takes on Ottawa and Arizona Christian faces Embry-Riddle. Grand View and Baker gotta screw it all up by being from different states.\xa0 Fontbonne and Westminster are scheduled to go there on the women\u2019s side as well, while Saint Mary (Kan.) heads to wrestle Missouri Valley.\xa0 FROM THE DWN: The University of Iowa announced on Tuesday that four-time All-American Brandon Sorensen has begun undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. There are numerous outlets with information on this, including the Daily Iowan, Trackwrestling, The Cedar Rapids Gazette, the Quad City Times \u2026 after this kind of news, there really isn\u2019t much I want to promote here today. Thoughts are with Sorensen, his family and the entire Iowa wrestling family.\xa0 The only good news really coming from Iowa today was the Hawkeyes did come in as a unanimous No. 1 in the NWCA Division I Coaches Poll. Slight movement, nothing major.\xa0 No major changes in the NJCAA Team Rankings as Western Wyoming is still No. 1 there.\xa0 From the Asbury Park Press, Rutgers head wrestling coach Scott Goodale gives a mighty endorsement for the football program bringing back Greg Schiano as head football coach. Apparently, Goodale was a pretty good tosser of the pigskin back in high school. Not quite like Uncle Rico, but good.\xa0 Cuban Olympic medalist Alexis Vila was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in arranging a murder. Yikes.\xa0 Cronkite News, which we\u2019ve discussed on the show before, drops another solid wrestling piece, this time Sarah Farrell profiles Marlee Smith, the lone woman on the Arizona State wrestling team. There\u2019s even a quote from your sometimes-humble host, that\u2019s me.\xa0 The Cuban Greco-Roman wrestling team is leaving Iran, according to the Mehr News Agency. The Cubans were training in the run up to the Greco-Roman World Cup, which was postponed by United World Wrestling last week. The Iranian contingent is adamant they will put on the event, passing off alleged safety concerns in the country.\xa0 This was posted yesterday, but since there was no Shots, I repeat such info here. The Japan News reports that four-time Olympic champion Kaori Icho has not entered the All Japan Championships set for this weekend, effectively ending her chances at winning an unprecedented fifth Olympic wrestling gold medal. She\u2019s the only human being who has ever walked the planet to win four Olympic gold medals in wrestling.\xa0 On The Network Kyle Klingman and Andy Hamilton go On The Mat with the Director of Wrestling and the head men\u2019s wrestling coach at Presbyterian College, Mark Cody.\xa0 WarUP on The WPIAL with Jeff Upson and Greg Warnock chat about things related to Waynesburg Central in Western Pennsylvania.\xa0 Keep an eye out for a new show coming this week on the network called State of Wrestling. It\u2019ll be an organizational podcast coming from the NWCA. I\u2019ll host it and the first guest will be NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer.
