San Jose State's Gabriel Sanchez stands one win away from a national title as he faces Army's Emmanuel Osei in Saturday's NCBA 139-pound national final at the Foxwoods Casino in Nashantucket, Conn.

Sanchez is the only NorCal boxer remaining, as UC Davis 156-pounder Colin Schmitt dropped his semifinal.  By virtue of finishing in the final four, Schmitt has earned All-America honors.

If Sanchez were to win on Saturday, he'd be the second Spartan in as many years to accomplish the feat.  Oscar Gomez won last year's NCBA 147-pound final, but lost in the national quarterfinals this season. 

Sanchez-Osei will air on ESPN3.com starting at 4 p.m. PT.
