LAST TIME OUT

Hendrickson's fastest pin was in a blazing 42 seconds against Jeff Crooks of Harvard. In the finals, Hendrickson met with a stout opponent in No. 8 Taye Ghadiali—the 2023 SoCon heavyweight champion. Hendrickson scored the first takedown but conceded the last, winning by 9-3 decision. Hendrickson is now 12-0 on the season— nine of those wins by way of pin.
Josh Cordio put forth an exceptional performance, winning his first three matches all in overtime periods. Cordio placed fourth following losses to No. 22 Jacob Nolan (Binghamton) and Caleb Hopkins (Campbell). Cordio has 11 wins so far this season.
