Glory Earns Fourth All-American Honor, Monday Third as Both Earn NCAA Semis Bids
March 17, 2023 | Wrestling
Patrick Glory became the second four-time All-American in program history and Quincy Monday became the program's third three-time All-American as both advanced to the semifinals at the NCAA Championships for the second straight year, Glory with an 8-4 win over Arizona State's 10th-seeded Brandon Courtney in a 125-pound quarterfinal and Monday with a 10-4 win over Michigan State's 29th-seeded Caleb Fish in a 165-pound quarterfinal in Friday's daytime session.
Glory, seeded second, will be back for the 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT session to take on third-seeded Liam Cronin of Nebraska, whom Glory has not wrestled collegiately. The other semifinal matches Iowa's top-seeded Spencer Lee with fourth-seeded Matt Ramos of Purdue.
Monday, seeded fifth, will wrestle Iowa State's top-seeded David Carr in his semifinal match. The two met in an exhibition match at the NWCA All-Star Classic last November, before Monday made the move from 157 to 165 pounds, and Carr won that match 2-1. Both wrestlers' fathers were 1988 Olympic medalists for Team USA, Monday's father Kenny a gold medalist at 74 kg (163 lbs) and Carr's father Nate a bronze medalist at 68 kg (150 lbs). The other semifinal matches Missouri's second-seeded Keegan O'Toole with Michigan's 11th-seeded Cameron Amine.
Glory joins former teammate Matthew Kolodzik '21 as four-time All-Americans with the program and Monday joins Glory and Kolodzik as the program's All-Americans with at least three such honors.
Brackets can be found here, and matches are being streamed on ESPN+. Friday evening's session will have TV coverage on ESPN.

Glory had a takedown off the start and accrued riding time for all of eight seconds of the first period. The second period saw Courtney get an early takedown, but Glory bookended that with escapes and led 4-2 after two. Though Courtney had an escape early in the third to tie it, Glory regained the lead with an escape and added a late takedown and the riding-time point to pull away.

Monday had two first-period takedowns around a Fish escape to lead 4-1 after a period, and after a second period that saw a Monday escape as the only scoring, Monday pushed the lead to 9-1 with a four-point near-fall before Fish got his final points with an escape out of that near-fall and an ensuing takedown.
