Show B3 SPORTS APRIL 01, 2013 MIKE SMITH/NCAA Jade Rauser made an appearance at the wrestling NCAA Tournament to bring UVU's talent to three at the tournament. Jade Rauser (125) had a remarkable season, showing up No. 16 on latest Intermat rankings and became the first freshman from UVU to qualify for the tournament. Like Wilson, Rauser dropped his first match to No. 2 seed Jesse Delgado of Illinois in a major decision, 13-4. Delgado went on to win the tournament. Despite the loss, Rauser was able to bounce back as he pinned his next opponent, Joseph Duca from Indiana. Unfortunately for Rauser, his run was cut short on day two of the tournament as he took on Michigan's Sean Boyle with a 10-6 loss. Despite only posting a record of 1-2, Rauser will have taken home great lessons and experience from this tournament, having more of an advantage in the tournament with years to come. "Jade has a couple of areas that he needs to improve on but he showed a lot of fight this morning [March 22]," Williams said. "This is a tough tournament, and you can't make mistakes if you WRESTLING from 81 up at 2-all with another escape. Brascetta later pulled ahead in the third with an escape and a takedown to take a 5-2 advantage. Wilson countered back with an escape but couldn't get the late takedown to tie the bout as he fell by two. Wilson was two wins shy of becoming an All-American. "Josh wrestled a solid match against Valenti and gave himself an opportunity," said UVU head coach Greg Williams. "He was also in a good position against No. 8 Brascetta but just couldn't get it done. Josh is good enough to place here, you just have to win the matches at the right time, and it's disappointing for him " This could have been the end of a great career for Wilson. Due to an injury, earning a medical exception, Wilson was out two consecutive seasons but is able to regain a year of eligibility, although he is listed as a senior. here." Although qualifying for the tournament is no small feat, Fager unfortunately packed it up early, losing two. After Fager had placed first in his weight class at the conference tournament and All-Conference first team this season, success is only escalating in years to come. The future looks bright for the Wolverines, as they continue the trend to improve over the years. "I'm proud of all three of our guys as well as the entire team this year," Williams said. "There are a lot of positives that we'll take back from here." As proof that the program on the rise, this year saw seven wrestlers named on the WWC All-Conference team. Josh Wilson (149) and Adam Fager (285) were both named first team while Avery Garner (141), Abner Cook (165) and Monte Schmalhaus (174) were named to the second team. Chasen Tolbert (133) and David Prieto were honored with being named to the third team. BASEBALL from B2 WHATCOTT from 82 28-game conference winning streak on the line in Newark, New Jersey. UVU has never lost to NJIT. The Wolverines currently sit in third place in the GWC but the familiarity of playing against conference foes has always been beneficial to UVU baseball teams. UVU is 76-4 all-time in the GWC. UVU plays at Larry Miller Ballpark in Provo on Tuesday, Apr. 2. Conference play then resumes after the trip to New Jersey with the Wolverines finally getting to play their second home series of the year. Houston Baptist will be in Orem for a four game series April 11-13. "It's tough at that age to play all three," Whatcott said. "I just enjoyed baseball the most. I figured I was best at it and it was what I wanted to focus on." Whatcott is in his third season at UVU and is accustomed to the pressure of being a closer. Having to watch the entire game, knowing that if it comes down to it, he's going to be the one that is called on would be too much for some people to handle, but Whatcott takes it in stride. "Being in [the dugout] the whole game is tough, you know," Whatcott said. "I just mentally prepare myself, look at the scoreboard and just get myself ready to go. It's kind of hard after eight innings of just sitting there, but you just got to get your mind right and mentally know what you have to do." The team's current overall record is t 9-16 with the season passing the halfway mark, but Whatcott knows that this very young team has what it takes to be great. With UVU joining the Western Athletic Conference next season, Whatcott and his team are very excited for what the future can bring. "I think it's exciting. Like I said, I've been here since the school was independent and I've just seen this whole transition, it's really cool," Whatcott said. "The GWC is a great conference, but we are going to be able to play for an automatic bid to the tournament." want to do well LARGE! PRIVATE! AFFORDABLE!
