Killar, who had by far the best tournament of any Crimson wrestler, continued his dominance by beating Yanni Diamond, 6-0.
"I was wrestling a decent opponent and picked up a good win," Killar said.
After the defeat, Harvard hung tight and battled in the consolation rounds. Hofstra opened up an 18-0 lead, but senior Kevin Kurtz dumped Dennis Papadatos at 157 pounds to start an amazing comeback. Rechul sealed the 21-20 win with a 4-0 victory over Mike Eberle.
The Crimson tried to pull off another comeback in the consolation quarters against Virginia Tech, but fell just short. Harvard spotted the Hokies 13 points and wound up losing by just one, 19-18.
Killar picked up a stalling point in an 8-0 win over Chris Martin.
Harvard now takes a break for final exams. The Crimson hopes its injured wrestlers will return for its Jan. 28 home match against Army.
