Wrestling star Spencer Lee suffered an upset during a NCAA Division I championship match — but it was his mother’s reaction to thesurprise loss that went viral.

Ramos — who led Lee 4-1 during most of the first period before Lee made a comeback overtaking him 5-4 — was able to pin Lee at the end of the third quarter, clinching the win and ending Lee’s 58-game winning streak, which had been the longest in the nation, perESPN.

WhileESPN’s SportsCenter replayed the end of the match to get reactions from the players, they also broadcasted Lee’s mom Cathy having a major reaction to her son’s loss.

In the clip, she is seen in a yellow sweater watching the end of the game with rapt attention before seemingly screaming out in agony and grasping another woman as the match ended and Ramos was named the winner.

Cathy then walked away, furiously ripping off her glasses as she did so and crushing them in her hands. She was also captured on video tearing the remnants of her frames to pieces before throwing them on the ground and turning to cry on someone else’s shoulders.
