APPALACHIAN STATE 22, HARVARD 21

Harvard held the lead three times during the matchup and grabbed a two-point advantage going into the heavyweight bout, but Applachian State (8-3, 2-0 Southern) won the final bout when it mattered most, with Joe Cummings earning a 7-3 decision over freshman David Ng for three points.

“I think we started off a little slow against Applachian State,” Keith said. “I think that’s a team we can beat. Everyone could have done a little bit more. Obviously, you can’t point to one person because it’s a team effort.”

Popple won his matchup at 174 lbs. by technical fall against Carter Downs. The freshman dominated the match and shut out his opponent 15-0 to gain five points for the Crimson.

Keith defeated Brett Boston at 133 lbs. in a 9-5 decision, and freshman James Fox produced Harvard’s last victory of the dual with a 9-1 major decision against Paul Weiss.
