Kollin Moore advanced to the NCAA semifinals with a big win over Oklahoma State's No. 6 seeded Preston Weigel on Friday morning by the score of 13-5. 

Moore advanced to the quarterfinals with a pair of major decisions on Thursday and kept the bonus point train rolling against Weigel with another major decision. 

Moore will face Minnesota's No. 2 Brett Pfarr for the fourth time this season in Friday night's semifinals. Pfarr won the first two meetings, while Moore won in the Big Ten championship match in decisive fashion. 

The top four seeds all advanced to the semifinals at 197 as No. 1 seed J'Den Cox of Missouri will face No. 4 Jared Haught of Virginia Tech while No. 3 Moore faces No. 2 Pfarr. Moore guarantees himself an All-American finish in his redshirt freshman season as he can finish no lower than sixth place. 

The semifinals will air live on ESPN tonight at 8 p.m.
