Gallick, Zabriskie fall short in consolation bids

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Sophomores Nick Gallick and David Zabriskie each lost their consolation semifinal matches at the NCAA Div. I Champions here Saturday morning.
Gallick (133) fell to Hofstra's second-seeded Charles Griffin, 3-2. Zabriskie (HWT) dropped a 6-1 decision to Oklahoma State's Jared Rosholt. Each will wrestle for fifth place later in the day.
Gallick scored the only takedown of the match against Griffin, but was ridden out in the second period.
Zabriskie failed in his bid to avenge his Big 12 finals loss to Rosholt. The Cowboy scored a takedown off a driving, double-leg shot with one second left in the first period. Rosholt built a riding time advantage in the second period before Zabriskie could escape. Rosholt countered a desperation scoring attempt by Zabriskie in the closing seconds.
In a rematch of the 141-pound Big 12 finals, Gallick will take on Matt Kyler of Army of Oklahoma State for fifth place. Zabriskie will wrestle Iowa's fourth-seeded Matt Fields.
