MSU finally got on the board thanks to Shadi Mitwalli securing the high scoring 18-16 victory over Ryan Scherber, and with the victory for Mitwalli meant the first points UMary has given up in team action all season. 

Nathan Baca continued an attempted comeback for MSU as he pinned Braydon Huber with 33 seconds left in the first period to pull the Beavers to a 12-9 score. 

However, UMary went on a run of their own to put the dual out of reach. Leo Mushinsky took the major decision over Cannon Potts by a score of 12-3 to get four more points for the Marauders. 

Max Bruss then pinned Beaver Alex Sandoval with 1:15 left in the first period to push the Marauders to a 22-9 lead with three more matches left.

In exhibition play UMary's Lincoln Turman slipped past Kelby Armstrong for the Beavers by a 3-1 decsion. In the last dual of the day Jordan Will was able to pin UMary big man Dom Tudor in the third period at the 6:27 mark.
