As far as Friday's action goes, the top storyline was a tremendous effort from Purdue's Matt Ramos, who knocked off three-time NCAA champion Spencer Lee of Iowa in the 125-pound semifinals.

Penn State has five wrestlers in the finals, and a few others from different schools emerged as dominant stars on Friday as well.

Matt Ramos on the Run of a Lifetime

Ramos, the No. 4 seed in the 125-pound bracket, is pulling off some last-second heroics in Oklahoma City.

A two-point reversal in the final seconds of the third period gave Ramos an 8-7 quarterfinal win over Killian Cardinale of West Virginia:

Ramos then pulled off the stunner of the tournament with this third-period fall on Lee:

Twitter lauded both Ramos and Lee, who has been sensational during his decorated career.

Ramos will face No. 2 Pat Glory of Princeton, who is undefeated this year and advanced to the finals with a pair of decision victories on Friday.

Penn State Stays Hot

Penn State is cruising toward its 10th national championship since 2011.

No. 1 Roman Bravo-Young, who is undefeated this season, is on to the 133-pound finals against No. 3 Vito Arujau of Cornell. Bravo-Young beat No. 4 Michael McGee of Arizona State to get there.

No. 2 Levi Haines rolled into the 157-pound finals with a fall over No. 7 Bryce Andonian of Virginia Tech and a 5-3 decision against No. 3 Peyton Robb of Nebraska. UNC's Austin O'Connor, undefeated and ranked No. 1, awaits in the finals.

No. 1 Carter Starocci is on to the 174-pound finals. He beat No. 8 Bailee O'Reilly of Minnesota 4-2 and No. 4 Chris Foca of Cornell 6-0. He'll go up against No. 2 Mikey Labriola of Nebraska.

No. 3 Aaron Brooks got a 4-2 win over No. 6 Kaleb Romero of Ohio State before getting a 6-3 victory against No. 2 Trent Hidlay of NC State in the 184-pound finals. He's got Northern Iowa's Parker Keckeisen in the finals.

Finally, Penn State's Greg Kerkvliet, the No. 3 heavyweight, will be in the heavyweight finals, where he'll face No. 1 Mason Parris of Michigan. Kerkvliet got a 4-0 win over No. 11 Trent Hillger of Wisconsin before getting the 4-2 win over Air Force's Wyatt Hendrickson.

Sheer Dominance

Iowa's Real Woods, the top 141-pound seed, was nothing short of fantastic on Friday with a pair of majority-decision victories over No. 8 Allan Hart of Missouri and No. 4 Brock Hardy of Nebraska.

The undefeated Hawkeye will go up against another undefeated wrestler, Northern Colorado's Andrew Alirez, in the finals.

In the 165-pound bracket, No. 2 Keegan O'Toole of Missouri coasted into the finals. He beat No. 10 Carson Kharchla of Ohio State by a technical fall (19-4) before earning a 6-0 win against No. 11 Cameron Amine of Michigan.

He'll get No. 1 David Carr of Iowa State, who gave O'Toole his only loss earlier this year.

Parris is cruising in the heavyweight bracket. The undefeated Michigan star took down No. 9 Lucas Davison of Northwestern with a 10-1 majority decision before earning a 16-1 technical fall win over No. 4 Tony Cassioppi of Iowa.

He'll have Kerkvliet next, and there's some competitive history between the two:

Parris, a four-time All-American, is now 32-0 on the season.
