It was the thrill of victory and the agony of medical default Saturday for the Kent State wrestling team.
Fifth-year senior Mike DePalma needed a one-point escape to send his semifinals match with University of Missouri's top-seed No. 4 redshirt junior Lavion Mayes into overtime. Mayes tried to turn DePalma on his back, but DePalma was able to use his momentum to get a two-point reversal with one second remaining.
DePalma rose from his feet and ran into the arms of coach Jim Andrassy to embrace after the thrilling upset that sent the Edinboro transfer to the MAC finals.
