DENVER—Duke wrestling redshirt senior Mitch Finesilver stepped onto the national stage Friday night in a hard-fought loss to top-ranked Matthew Kolodzik at the 53rd annual NWCA All-Star Classic. Kolodzik came away with the 12-7 decision over eighth-ranked Finesilver

The Princeton All-American got off to a fast start with a 6-0 lead midway through the first period. Kolodzik rode out the period. An escape from Kolodzik and an ensuing takedown extended his lead to 9-0 over Finesilver before the Blue Devil standout answered with an escape and takedown of his own to make it 9-3.

Kolodizk tacked on two more points before Finesilver made a late push to bring the match to the final score off 11-7 before the riding time point made it a 12-7 final.

Finesilver returns home Saturday and then will travel to Roanoke, Va., for the Hokie Open. First bouts begin at 9 a.m., Sunday.
