Paul Augle (Tinley Park, Ill./Providence Catholic) lost in the second round of the tournament in the 133-lb class, but wrestled back through five matches to take fourth. Brendan Curran (Chicago, Ill./Mt. Carmel) won his first three matches before falling to Central Michigan, 8-4, in the fourth round. He wrestled his way back through the consolation bracket to place fifth overall. Ryan Kane (Frankfort, Ill./Providence) also took fifth after making it to the semifinals without losing.
The Wildcats are next in action on Friday when they travel to River Falls, Wis. to take part in the Northern open. This again is an open tournament and team scores will not be kept.
