For the first time two former NCAA finalists met each other in a pigtail match to open the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships when Ohio State's Mike Pucillo and Central Michigan's Mike Miller wrestled in the 184-pound bracket Thursday.
Pucillo, a three-time All-American that won a title in 2008, was a runner-up at 184 last year. Miller placed second at 174 for the Chippewas in 2009.
Miller scored a reversal and then a takedown with four seconds remaining to win 4-2. Miller then lost his next match and faces Nebraska's Josh Ihnen.
