Glenn, who entered the NCAA Championships as the defending national champion at 197 lbs., was cut short in his title defense, losing a 7-5 decision to Wynn Michalak from Central Michigan. Glenn took an early lead in the match off a single leg takedown at 0:27 but an escape by Michalak shortly after moved the score to 2-1. Michalak then scored a takedown of his own to go ahead 2-3 but Glenn quickly escaped to tie the score again at three a piece. Glenn began the second on top but fell behind again with a reversal by Michalak, 3-5. An escape by Glenn closed the deficit to 4-5 where the third period would start. In the third, Glenn started on bottom and escaped at 5:33 to even the match at five. The score remained tied until the final moments of the period when off a restart with under 20 seconds left Glenn took a shot and was caught underneath Michalak. Michalak used his position to gain a hold on Glenn's leg and as time expired the referee signaled a two-point takedown, giving the match to Michalak, 7-5.

 

Glenn will now face local rival and seventh seed Hudson Taylor from Maryland in Saturday morning's round of six.
