The night's first match was also the closest as Matt Chustz (Sr., Manassas Park, Va., Manassas Park HS) failed to score an escape in the final seconds to lose 3-2 to Paulie Hansen at 125 pounds.

141-pounder Dustin Howa (Sr., Price, Utah, Carbon HS) also pushed his opponent to the limit, dropping a 4-2 decision to the Vikings' Eric Graham.

In another highly-anticipated matchup, Ryan Groom (So., Oskaloosa, Oskaloosa HS) concluded the meet with a 7-3 loss to Travis Ewart at heavyweight.
