A pair of Dragons sit atop the national leaderboard in falls, as the NCAA released the debut standings for the 2020 NCAA Wrestling Awards that will be awarded in March at the respective Division I, II and III Wrestling Championships.

Tiffin teammates Hayden Bronne and Nicholas Mason pace Division II with nine falls apiece. Bronne holds the early tiebreaker over 2019 197-pound national champion Mason with a 12-minute lead in aggregate time (13:20 – 25:42).  Jacob Robb of Mercyhurst is just one back as the only wrestler in Division II with eight falls.

The only other GMAC wrestler in the top 10 in falls is Findlay's Nathan Vandermeer, who sits tied for 9th with 5 pins.

The 7th-ranked Dragons are coming off a dominating 41-6 win at Urbana last weekend. They now travel to the NWCA Duals in Louisville, Kentucky Jan. 11-12.
