Burns got off to a slow start and gave up an early takedown but once he started wrestling his match, it was all Burns.They wrestled tough tonight and we have high expectations for both Wilkowski and Burns this season.”
“There are others in the lineup who we expect more from but they did not show up tonight. All we can do is learn from the experience, get back on the mats, improve and move forward.”
