FINAL RESULTS

Athens, Ohio -- George Mason had five wrestlers place in the 13-team Mid-American Conference Championships this weekend at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio.
  
Senior Kyle Davis (184) earned a third-place finish, the highest ever placer for Mason at a MAC Championship. Davis had an opportunity to take one of the two automatic bids to nationals at 184 pounds for the conference. Davis defeated Cleveland State's Nassar in the third-place match today earning the right to wrestle for a true second place. Kent State's Colin McCracken got off to a 4-0 start on Davis in the first period en route to taking the match, 9-4.
 
In his first MAC Championship freshman Logan Messer finished fourth, the Patriots second-best finish in the MAC tournament in the three-year history for Mason. In six matches, the 174-pounder defeated four different opponents, but dropped two close matches to Buffalo's Jay Nivison, 3-1 in overtime, and a 4-3 decision. He owns an impressive 27-9 record in his first season.
 
Grad student Alex Madrigal finished sixth at 149 pounds. A medical forfeit knocked him out of the semi-final match, but he returned to face Buffalo's John Arceri in the wrestlebacks. Arceri edged Madrigal with a 3-2 decision.
 
Avery Bassett was the seventh-place finisher at 157 pounds. The freshman won an 8-1 decision in the seventh-place match against Cole McComas from Rider.

George Mason wrestling team concluded the season with an 11-place finish in the 13-team conference.
 
Mason will have to wait until the NCAA Division I Wrestling Selection Show on Wednesday, March 9th for any NCAA at-large bids. The show will be streamed at 6 ET on NCAA.com.
