Taylor beat Derek St. John of Iowa 6-3 in his morning quarterfinal.
Another former Falcon, Zac Thomusseit, lost both of his Friday matches and failed to place.
Thomusseit had lost his morning championship quarterfinal match 8-2 to Clayton Foster of Oklahoma State to fall out of the championship bracket, then fell 2-0 to Sonny Yohn of Minnesota in his match to secure at least an eighth place.
Also, Zac’s younger brother, freshman Max Thomusseit (184), lost in the fourth round of consolations by a 6-5 score to Matt Ryan of West Virginia and was also eliminated.
