"Joey wrestled a great match against Wilcox," Weiss said. "He was down by one, but came back to win by reversing him in the last twenty seconds."
Mosley, the only wrestler in school history to qualify for NCAA's in all four years, made the most of his final opportunity at 174-pounds.
"Nationals is quite a tournament. You never quite get used to it," Mosley said.
He began with a decisive 8-5 victory over Steve Strange of Cal Poly in the first round. Mosley's subsequent 4-3 defeat of Virginia Tech's Eric Hall propelled him into the quarterfinals. He then lost a close 5-2 bout to the No. 3 seed Josh Koscheck of Edinboro. Koscheck and Mosley split the two matches they wrestled earlier in the season.
"Ed wrestled a close bout against Koscheck. It could have gone either way," Weiss said.
In the wrestlebacks, Mosley's pulled out an exciting tiebreak victory. Having to take the top position, he rode out Eastern Michigan Mike Feeney for the necessary thirty second, guaranteeing himself his eighth place spot and All-American accolades.
"I thought we did okay. You always feel you can do better but we did what we could. We were a little banged up," Mosley said.
