Beginning with the Falcons, the Pokes notched seven bonus-point victories including a trio of technical falls from Nick Piccininni, Wyatt Sheets and Dakota Geer. Piccininni and Sheets' bouts extended to the final period, and Geer ended his match with Casey Jumps, in just 3:46.

OSU collected eight wins in Arena-Auditorium, including a huge upset from freshman Reece Witcraft over No. 8 Montorie Bridges in sudden victory. The pair traded escapes before the bout went to overtime, where Witcraft sealed the bout with a takedown. Witcraft also picked up a win at Air Force over Jared Van Vleet.
Senior Boo Lewallen also went undefeated on the day collecting a 16-5 major decision against Dylan Martinez (AF) before upending Wyoming's Jacob Greenwood, 14-2. Piccininni added to his win total with an 8-2 decision against Jake Svihel to round out a perfect weekend.
