1st Period: Gilman sporting a full leg wrap on his left leg. Wrestling on their knees as is common for Waters, tight collar tie. Ref stalemates them twice, wants more action than that. No attempts 2 minutes in. Period ends scoreless with no real attempts.
2nd Period: Waters takes bottom. First attempt to his feet is rejected. They go out of bounds. Waters tries a switch 45 seconds in but Gilman does not allow. Now Waters out to the side with a whizzer, trying to step behind for a reversal. Ref stops it for potentially dangerous or out of bounds. 45 seconds left. Waters escapes with 30 seconds left.

TB2b: Waters just clamps on TIGHT and Gilman throws himself back. The ref stops it to warn someone. Gilman is angry and attacks Waters' legs after the whistle and Waters got off. Waters amps up the crowd. Ref gives Waters a point for a slam, gives Gilman a point for Waters' unsportsmanlike conduct. (I may be wrong about the reasons for the points, but that's my guess and both guys were awarded penalty points). Back at it, Waters clamps on BUT Gilman clamps on to a head and arm to reverse him to his back!!!! Not enough time for backpoints though. Waters wins 5-4 and tortures the crowd. Lots of antics on the bench and the crowd explodes with "LET'S GO HAWKS!" Terry Brands is riled up!!!

Waters amps up the crowd. Ref gives Waters a point for a slam, gives Gilman a point for Waters' unsportsmanlike conduct. (I may be wrong about the reasons for the points, but that's my guess and both guys were awarded penalty points). Back at it, Waters clamps on BUT Gilman clamps on to a head and arm to reverse him to his back!!!! Not enough time for backpoints though. Waters wins 5-4 and tortures the crowd.
