February 29 – The No. 15 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater wrestling team finished third out of 15 teams over the weekend at the NCAA Upper Midwest Regional Championship at Augsburg University in Minneapolis.
Seniors Hazen Rice, Ryder Sigler, Mike Tortorice and sophomore Jaritt Shinhoster each punched tickets to the NCAA Championship, which is slated for March 13-14 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Tortorice, ranked No. 2 in the nation by D3wrestle.com and Intermat, took home his second straight Upper Midwest Regional title at 125 pounds. He completed his weekend with a 3-0 record, including two pins and one technical fall, to qualify for his third straight national tournament.
Rice, now a two-time national qualifier at 141, clinched his NCAA berth with a 4-0 decision over Ryan Fleck of Chicago in the semifinal, setting up a showdown against fellow consensus top-10 wrestler David Flynn of Augsburg. The two went to overtime before Flynn earned the sudden victory, 4-2.
Sigler also finished as runner-up to pick up his first national bid at 165. He earned a 15-6 major decision in his semifinal against two-time defending national champion and consensus top-five wrestler Lucas Jeske of Augsburg.

Shinhoster claimed his second bid to the NCAA Championship as runner-up at 174. The nation’s consensus No. 2 wrestler registered one pin and two major decisions on his way to the final, where he was topped by Augsburg’s Solomon Nielsen, a consensus top-10 wrestler.
Senior Devin Tortorice finished his standout career with a fifth-place finish at 149 pounds, completing his weekend with a 3-2 record. He earned a 9-2 decision in the fifth-place match against Kellen Schauer of Concordia Moorhead.
