UPDATED BRACKETS AND TEAM SCORES
NEW YORK CITY – UNI wrestling's Dylan Peters secured a second All-American title with falls over Josh Rodriguez of North Dakota State and No. 5 Ryan Millhof Friday night.
Peters notched his 24th first-period fall of his career to advance in the 125-pound consolations for a shot at third place Saturday morning.
"Our coaches were saying it was about time for one," said Peters of the first pin. "It's not me. If I didn't have my coaches or the staff that we have, I wouldn't be where I am in this position right now."
No. 9 seed Peters got bumped to consolations with a 10-4 loss to No. 1 seed Nathan Tomasello of Ohio State but bounced back to advance on the backside of the bracket. He knocked off No. 5 seed Ryan Millhof of Oklahoma, who he had to injury default to at this year's Cliff Keen Invite. Peters is the 33rd Panther to earn at least two All-American titles at the Division I level.
He faces No. 15 David Terao of American Saturday morning. Terao beat Peters 12-10 in the first round of NCAA competition at the 2015 national championships.
At 157 pounds, Bryce Steiert beat Justin Staudenmayer of Brown to advance in consolations, but he lost to Nebraksa's Tyler Berger. He was the first true freshman from UNI to qualify for the NCAA tournament since 2003.
Josh Alber's NCAA run ended with a 14-2 major decision loss to Lehigh's Mason Beckman in the 133-pound weight class.
