A two-time NCAA All-American for Ohio State, Moore faced off against Magamed Zakariiev of Ukraine in the semis, but fell to an early 8-2 deficit.
In a second-period scramble, Moore was awarded a takedown and two sets of exposure points to tie the match 8-8 and carry the lead on criteria. Shortly after, Moore picked up another takedown and held off ferocious attempts from Zakariiev to claim a 10-8 decision.
