Marcus Robinson was the lone Viking in the championship quarterfinals this evening after winning his first three matches via decisions. In the quarters, he fell to No. 14 Trevor Chumbley of Northwestern, 8-0. Dylan Layton won his first match of the day after receiving a bye in the first round. The freshman then dropped a 10-4 decision to No. 19 Jesse Vasquez of Arizona State. Layton then fought back with a 3-2 overtime victory over Michael Dolan of West Virginia and then advanced via an injury default against No. 23 Joe Zargo of Wisconsin. The other highlight of the afternoon was Daniel Patten knocking off No. 28 Tony Negron of Arizona State in overtime, 9-7.
