PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A runner-up effort from 197-pounder Nick Moore (Topeka, Kansas) led the individual efforts for Norwich University at the 2012 New England Wrestling Association's Futures tournament Feb. 19.

The Cadets ended the tourney in sixth place. Moore's mark was among three top-three Maroon and Gold finishes. Freshmen 125-pounder Prashant Thakur (Valley Cottage, N.Y.) and 184-pounder Jacob Towse (West Springfield, Mass.) each took third.

Moore, the second seed in his weight class, took a pair of overtime wins to reach the finals. He was a 4-2 winner over Trinity's Cary Jones and Roger Williams' Tim Garlington. He almost made it three-for-three in white-knuckle wins but Johnson and Wales' Daniel Pond, the top seed, held him off 9-8 for the title.

NU returns to the mat for the 2012 NEWA Championships Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 25 and 26. Trinity College of Middletown, Conn., is the tournament host.
