Senior Ayaz Mustafa also competed on Thursday, but dropped a narrow, 156-pound decision (2-3) to Kole Songonuga from Navy.
Air Force went 0-4 on the women's side during quarterfinal action, with senior Maddie Lloyd and sophomore Mack Lucas suffering narrow, split decision losses in their bouts. Lloyd dropped a 2-3 decision to Navy's Gabi Shultz at 132 pounds, while Lucas saw the judges' cards fall in the same direction during her 147-pound loss to Iowa State's McKenzie Stewart. Senior Sam Thompson and junior Susan Yeung also competed on Thursday, falling by 5-0 margins at 112 pounds (Washington's Thea Weiss) and 139 pounds (Navy's Jasmine Brown), respectively.
