Mac Stout earned perhaps the biggest win of his collegiate career on Thursday night, but it was also by the far most emotional night of his career.
Stout -- a 197-pounder from Mt. Lebanon, Pa. -- matched up with his brother, Luke, a senior at Princeton, for a spot in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. It was a highly-anticipated Round of 16 bout, the first clash of brothers in NCAA Tournament history.
Mac muscled out a 4-2 decision to knock off Luke and advance to the quarterfinals. And it was hard for Stout to go through.
“It’s tough, yeah, it stinks," Stout said after the match, via FloWrestling.
