Keckeisen advances to NCAA quarterfinals, Six Panthers fall to consolation brackets

TULSA, Okla. --- UNI's Parker Keckeisen punched his ticket to his second national quarterfinal match as the Panthers returned to the mats for the Thursday night session of the 2023 NCAA Championships at the BOK Center.

After a breakout morning session with all 7 UNI athletes winning first round bouts, the Panthers faced several major challenges against top-ranked opponents, including 5 bouts against conference champions from this season.

"We gave ourselves chances to win with some small margins, but you got to be able to put in a little bit more in your favor," said head coach Doug Schwab.
