Daggett All-American

Daggett Moves Into NCAA Semifinals, Claims All-American Status

| By: Todd Anderson, Associate AD/Communications & Strategic Initiatives
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Senior Nick Daggett used a takedown and a 4-point near fall in the opening period to fuel a 9-0 major decision over second-ranked Josh Portillo of Nebraska-Kearney that moved him into Saturday's semifinal round at the NCAA Division II Championships in St. Louis, Mo.
 
The win gives Daggett a Saturday morning date with McKendree's Christian Mejia who upset fourth-ranked and top-seeded Isaiah de la Cerda from Adams State earlier in the day. The winner of that bout will move into Saturday evening's championship round inside St. Louis's America's Center Convention Complex.
 
Bryce Walker grabbed a 9-3 decision in his opening match of the day to upset fifth-ranked Luke McGonigal from Mercyhurst, but was turned away via a 6-3 decision at the hands of seventh-ranked and fifth-seeded Zach Ryg of Upper Iowa in the quarterfinals.
