Nathan Tomasello earned his third individual Big Ten title in as many years with a 5-4 over No. 3 seed Cory Clark of Iowa at Sunday's Big Ten tournament.
After a scoreless first period, Clark earned an escape and led Tomasello 1-0 to begin the third period. Tomasello pushed the pace and forced a stalling call on Clark before Clark committed a technical violation (which appeared to be a locking hands, but it was not clarified) to tie the match. Tomasello then escaped to take a 2-1 lead. Tomasello earned a takedown with about 30 seconds left, but Clark escaped and scored a takedown of his own. Tomasello earned the deciding point with just a single second left on the clock by breaking Clark's grip and earning an escape.
Tomasello remains unbeaten and will likely be the No. 1 seed at the NCAA tournament in two weeks, where he will chase his second NCAA title.
