Cornell will send five semifinalists to the mat on Wednesday at the Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  Nahshon Garrett and Mike Nevinger punched their tickets to the final four at 125 and 141, respectively, with major decisions.  Kyle Dake notched his second pin of the day to move closer to his fourth consecutive Scuffle finals, while Chris Villalonga and Steve Bosak joined him in the semis.

New York native Nick Gwiazdowski of Duanesburg High and North Carolina State will face defending NCAA champion Tony Nelson of Minnesota in the heavyweight semifinals.
