OMAHA, Neb.  - Matt Kyler dropped into the consolation bracket and Richard Starks was eliminated as Session III of the 2010 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships wrapped up Friday afternoon at a sold-out Qwest Center.

Kyler lost an 8-0 decision to Big 12 champion Kyle Terry of Oklahoma while Starks dropped an 8-2 decision to 12th-ranked Brent Haynes of Missouri.

Kyler suffered his first loss of the tournament in the quarterfinals to third-seeded and third-ranked Terry.

Once again Kyler was aggressive early. He was in deep on a single-leg but failed to convert the opportunity and Terry scored a takedown with 10 seconds left in the first period.

Terry, who has now won 20 straight matches, increased his lead to 3-0 with a second period escape and added a second takedown.

Kyler chose bottom in the final period but Terry secured two near fall points and riding time for the victory to improve to 29-2 this season.

Kyler will return to the mat Friday evening for Session IV. He will wrestle in the fifth round of consolations against Wisconsin's Kyle Ruschell, the No. 4 seed. Ruschell beat Eric Albright of Pittsburgh 6-1.

Starks struck first in his match against Haynes, seeded 12th and ranked 12th. Haynes scored a reversal to knot the match at two after the first three minutes.

Haynes chose down in the second period and scored an escape for a 3-2 lead.

Starks, trailing by a point, chose neutral in the final period but Haynes collected another takedown, two near fall points and a riding time advantage for the 8-2 win.

Starks, a three-time national qualifier, ends his season with a 26-4 mark. He stands 105-25 in his career and is now seventh all-time in career victories.

Session IV which will feature the championship semifinals as well as the fifth round and quarterfinal consolation bouts, is scheduled to be televised by ESPNU and espn360.com beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern time.
