Brian Wright earned a major decision at 125 pounds, while Brandon Bucher and Randy Oates won by technical fall at 149 and 174 pounds, respectively.
The success carried over into Mason's second meet of the afternoon, as the Patriots immediately seized control by winning the first five matches to take a commanding 19-0 lead before VMI won its first match with a fall by Jayme Gordon at 165 pounds. After the loss, Mason rebounded by winning the next three matches before forfeiting at the heavyweight class to take a 29-12 win in the team scoring.
In the opening meet of the day, VMI downed Campbell by a final score of 21-14. The Keydets scored big at the 165-pound weight class, earning six points when Jayme Gordon pinned Chris Mazzatta at 5:49.
