Senior Troy Hayre (McLean, Va./McLean) followed with a 9-0 major decision at 197 pounds in his first match of the season at the weight, downing Kyle Sheridan and making it 19-14.

Senior Russ Korbul (Asbury, N.J./Northhampton C.C.) followed with a 3-1 victory at heavyweight against Joe Pesce, scoring a reversal in the second overtime period to secure the win.
