Following an escape by the Bearcat that made it 4-2, the Garden Plain, Kan. native put away any hopes of a comeback with 45 seconds remaining, making the most of a single-leg attack to add insurance en route to a 7-3 decision win.
No. 21 Trevor Chumbley rolled to his fourth win by technical fall of the year in a 157-pound tilt with Carter Baer. Following a first period that saw both wrestlers struggle to gain the upper hand, Chumbley took full advantage of his final attack of the frame, wrapping up Baer's right leg to record a takedown with just one second remaining and take a 3-0 lead. He stepped on the accelerator from the that point forward, racking up four takedowns in the third period alone to put the exclamation point on a 19-3 victory.
Aiden Vandenbush picked up his second major decision of 2023-24 against Michael Zarif at 149 pounds. With the score knotted up at 0-0 midway through the first period, Vandenbush willed his way to a takedown and four-point near fall, building a 7-0 lead on the way to winning by an 11-0 final.

Trailing 3-1 after the first period, Odiotti tallied a pair of second-period takedowns to go in front, 8-4.
