ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Jake Kallenborn highlighted Penn College's 13th-place finish at the RIT Invitational Saturday. Kallenborn entered the tournament unseeded at 197 and finished second after a thrilling overtime championship bout.

Inside the brackets: Kallenborn rolled into the quarterfinals by way of a 12-1 major decision and a first period injury default. He knocked of the third seed 12-6 in the quarters, then cruised past the seventh seed, 12-5, in the semifinals.

Kallenborn met top seeded Bryce McCloskey (Thiel) in the final.

After an escape and a takedown, Kallenborn pulled within a point and finished the first period down 5-3. McCloskey scored the only point of the second period on an escape, extending his lead to 6-3. Kallenborn chose to start the third period on his feet and took advantage with a takedown early in the period to pull within one. He surrendered an escape, bringing the match back to their feet with just over a minute left in the match. With time winding down, Kallenborn missed on a double from space, but recovered with a headlock on the edge of the mat as time expired to send the match to overtime, tied 6-6. Just seconds into overtime,

Kallenborn turned away a low shot attempt by McCloskey. In the ensuing scramble, Kallenborn looked to end the match with a throw, but came up just short and McCloskey was able to secure the take down to end it. Kallenborn finished the day 4-1.
