133 lbs Consolation - Sammy Alvarez, Rutgers vs Ridge Lovett, Nebraska16:18

Rutgers announced this morning on social media that returning NCAA qualifier, Sammy Alvarez, will not be their postseason starter at 133 due to issues unrelated to COVID-19. Shane Metzler will instead get the nod for the Scarlet Knights.

Alvarez was 3-0 on the year, the #3 seed at the Big Ten Championships, and currently ranked #6 in the nation. The Scarlet Knights had not competed since January 31 due to COVID-19 cancelations. 

Metzler is 1-1 on the year with a loss to Jordan Decatur and a win over Nathan Cummings of Purdue. Expect the 133-pound seeds to change when the brackets are released later this afternoon.
