    OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- Redshirt sophomore 157-pounder Anthony Perrotti (Roseland, N.J.) achieved All-America status Saturday to become the first Scarlet Knight to reach the NCAA Championships podium since 2002. He dropped his seventh place bout, 2-0, against No. 5 Isaac Jordan (Wisconsin), ending the tournament in eighth place.

    Following a scoreless first period, Jordan quickly escaped in the second to take a 1-0 lead. Perrotti looked for an escape in the third to tie things up, but Jordan rode him through the period to seal a 2-0 win with 1:45 of riding time.

    Despite the loss, Perrotti is the first All-American under head coach Scott Goodale and the 9th in Rutgers history. He achieved the 10th All-American status in school history with the win, as 142-pounder Anthony Surage (1980, 83) was a two-time All-American – the only grappler in RU history to achieve that feat.
