After a forfeit win, senior Nolan Barger (Clearfield, Pa./Clearfield Area) used two four-point near falls to earn a 14-1 major decision win over Tristan Almeter at 165, giving Lycoming an insurmountable 28-0 lead.
 
After two wins for Alfred State (7-8 overall), the Warriors clinched the meet with a pair of pins, as junior Bradley Miccio (Bloomsburg, Pa./Benton Area) posted an early takedown before working to get a 54-second fall over Brandon Barbagelta at 197 pounds. Senior Skylar Ebner (Muncy, Pa./Muncy Area) followed with a 40-second pin of Adam Mears for the 32^nd of his career, as Lycoming rounded out its fourth 40-point win of the year.
