New York – Kent State's Mike DePalma (Jeannette, Pa.) won his sixth match of the NCAA Championships Saturday, capturing a fifth place inside Madison Square Garden. DePalma and Ian Miller (Oak Harbor, Ohio) gave Kent State two All-Americans in the same season for the first time since 2010.
DePalma gave the Golden Flashes extra team points with a second period pin of Michigan's Alec Panataleo in his fifth place match. DePalma led 6-0 after the first period and planted Panataleo on his back with a two-on-one tilt.
Following a Friday night injury, Miller opted not to compete on Saturday and settled for a sixth place.
