An All-America wrestler remains a wish rather than a reality for at least another year for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

With seven chances, the Mocs came up one win shy Friday in day two of the three-day NCAA tournament in St. Louis.

Nine Mocs have earned 12 Division I All-America plaques, but the most recent was in 2008 (Cody Cleveland).

Sean Boyle, the Southern Conference wrestler of the year, was a victim of vengeance at Scottrade Center, seeing his career ended and his medal hopes dashed by Oklahoma State’s Eddie Kilmara.

Kilmara, who lost 11-9 to Boyle in a Southern Scuffle third-place match in January, caught the UTC senior early and needed just 28 seconds for a pin.
