TULSA, Okla. – David Carr fell in the national finals, 8-2, to Missouri’s Keegan O’Toole Saturday night inside the BOK Center. It is Carr’s lone loss of the season, and only the third of his career, as he finishes the year with a 27-1 record.

The result flipped two regular season matches which Carr won.

Carr never found his offense in the match, rather, it was O’Toole who secured takedowns in the first and third periods. O’Toole also had an escape and two near fall points, as well as a riding time point, in the final period.

Carr is Iowa State’s first two-time NCAA finalist since Jake Varner did it four times from 2007-10.
Iowa State finished the tournament in 11th place with 47.0 team points. It is ISU’s best placement since 2013 and the Cyclones’ highest team score in the tournament since 2010.
