March 17, 2016

 

NEW YORK, N.Y.- Jack McKeever of the Binghamton wrestling team advanced to the second day of the 2016 NCAA Championships, winning his consolation match Thursday to move on to Friday's action at Madison Square Garden. Steve Schneider dropped both of his bouts Thursday, as his season came to a close.

McKeever, a 174-pound senior, bounced back from his first contest Thursday. In the nightcap, McKeever faced Harvard's Josef Johnson. Johnson earned a takedown, but McKeever escaped to halve the margin. The Brookfield, Connecticut, native then escaped to open the second period, tying the score at 2. In the third frame, McKeever came up with a terrific takedown, recording two points and giving himself enough separation to win the bout.
