Peppelman had led, 3-2, with just three seconds left in the match, but Saddoris pulled out another takedown to eke out the win.

The loss meant Peppelman landed in eighth for the tournament.

“I was happy with coming out with All-American,” Peppelman said. “It showed me some things I could work on for next year. It was a lot of fun and really exciting.”

Keith was not as fortunate as Peppelman, starting out the first day of the tournament by splitting two matches at 125 lbs.

In the first match, Keith pulled out a 1-0 decision against West Virginia’s Shane Young.

The only point of the bout came in the third period, when Keith earned an escape for a point.

Keith had a much tougher challenge against top-seeded Anthony Robles of Arizona State. The senior—who went on to win the 125-lb title—commanded the entire match, dominating Keith, 15-0.

Keith’s sophomore season came to an end against Eastern Michigan’s Trent Sprenkle the next day when he lost, 10-5. Sprenkle took the lead early on, but Keith fought back to bring the score to 9-5.

Despite his comeback efforts, it was not enough, and Keith lost his second match of the tournament.
