PITTSBURGH – Junior 174-pounder Ben Harvey of the Army West Point wrestling team finished his season one-win shy of being an All-American for the second year in a row on the second day of the NCAA Championships at PPG Paints Arena on Friday evening.
Harvey fell to reigning NCAA champion Zahid Valencia of Arizona State in his first match as Army's first quarterfinalist since Matt Kyler in 2010. The New Palestine, Ind., native wrestled in the blood round for the second time in as many years but dropped an 11-2 major decision to the 9-seed Devin Skatzka of Minnesota.
