Leon scored eight takedowns and six near-fall points to improve to 8-9 on the year while Shorts blanked his Antelope foe with one takedown, 10 near-fall points and riding time, lifting his mark to 13-6.
Shorts has won his last five matches, two via fall.

Mustang 174-pounder Travis Berridge closed out the dual meet with a 2-1 decision over Kenneth Moore, scoring a technical violation for locked hands in the first period and an escape in the final period. Berridge was wrestling in his first dual meet of the season.
Cal Poly's early winners were J.T. Goodwin at 197 pounds and David Gonzalez at 125.
Goodwin is 14-9 for the year, snapping a five-match losing streak with a 2-0 decision over Austin Trujillo. Goodwin earned an escape in the second period and rode out his opponent in the final period for a riding-time point.

Mustang 285-pounder Spencer Empey also was extended into a pair of overtimes, dropping a 3-2 decision to Daniel Chaid. All points scored in the bout were escapes.
