Sophomore Will Gastrock broke that three-match drought with a 3:59 pin over Blaine Link at 138 lbs.

Williamson then took back over, winning the next three matches before sophomore Ryder Bowen (172 lbs.), senior Wyatt Gastrock (189 lbs.), and freshman Hayden Stevens (215 lbs.). Bowen and Gastrock won by pin fall, Stevens won via an injury default.
