I love these articles.
I looked up the brackets and these are the scores:

118: 16-13
126: 20-14
134: 9-7
142: 5-5, 1-1 RD
150: WBF
158: 7-2
167: WBF
177: WDQ
190: 12-5
HVY: 9-5

The amount of scoring in the finals is amazing. Must have been alot more exciting. Definitely makes me want to see stalling called alot more agressively.
To DQ someone for stalling is the NCAA finals would be unheard of today. The article doesn't mention it, but is was a Hawkeye that was the staller.
Also, of interest is that only #1 or #2 seeds won titles. All #1 seeds made the finals except for Blatnick who finished 3rd.
