Suriano Loses Top Spot

Last Saturday at the Super 32 Challenge, #1-ranked Nick Suriano fell to #2-ranked Spencer Lee. No one expected Lee to beat a dominant Suriano. Suriano finished his freshman season undefeated, winning the Beast of the East and the Super 32 Challenge. Last year at the Super 32, Nick Suriano beat Spencer Lee with a last-second takedown to win the belt! This year, however, it was a different story.

Going into the third period, Lee was ahead 1 to 0, before Suriano got a quick escape to tie the score at 1 to 1. Lots of hand-fighting and shots took place in the final seconds of the third period. Neither Lee nor Suriano scored in the third period, so the match went into overtime. 30 seconds into overtime, Suriano hit a deep single leg shot; Lee countered, and Lee scored!  Freshman Spencer Lee won the title, and took Suriano’s top spot in the national rankings.
