No. 1 Ben Askren, a junior from Hartland, Wis., picked up two takedowns in the first two minutes of the 174-pound bout, establishing a 4-1 lead heading into the second frame. Pressing the action with a series of shots at his opponent's legs, Askren socred six more points in the second two-minute period. Needing eight points to pick up a bonus point with a major decision, Askren took down David Bertolino twice,

It appears I misread the press release I received from the University of Missouri.
