He beat Devin Steidler of Mary, 9-7 in the first round before losing to Brayton Lee of Minnesota in the second round. Scott followed with a 14-7 win over Tanner Pasvogel of St. Cloud State and then advanced by medical forfeit. After being pinned, Scott came back for a 7-3 win over Mary’s Chandler Mooney in the fifth-place match.
