An escape and another takedown in the second period put him up 8-1 and boosted him to a 9-1 final score.
Brester followed up with a 10-3 decision over No. 10 Joe Rovelli of Hofstra on Sunday. Brester notched two nearfalls as he held Rovelli scoreless until the third period. The win was Brester's third consecutive against a ranked opponent as he is 6-1 against ranked foes on the year.
