The Chippewas (16-3) extended their dual meet winning streak to nine straight and claimed 16 of the 20 bouts on the day.
CMU wrestled just six bouts in the opening dual of the day, as three matches were forfeited by the Mustangs and one by the Maroon and Gold. The Chippewas were awarded six points each at 133, 141 and 285 pounds on forfeits by Cal Poly, while the Mustangs were awarded six points at 197 pounds.
No. 11 Christian Cullinan opened the day with a 5-0 decision over Britain Longmire, earning three back points in the final period to secure the win. Senior Donnie Corby continued his recent run of success with a first-period pin over Dillen Rocha at 149 pounds and redshirt freshman Lucas Smith, sophomore Mike Ottinger and sophomore Anthony Bill each earned decisions to push the Chippewas' lead to 30-0.
Senior Ben Bennett recorded his second technical fall in as many days, defeating Sean Dougherty by a score of 18-2. Bennett had five takedowns in the match and twice earned back points to improve to 21-0 on the year.
The Chippewas continued the momentum versus the Roadrunners of CSU Bakersfield, kicked off by Cullinan's 7-2 decision at 125 pounds. Senior Scotti Sentes earned career win number 100 with a 5-0 decision himself to extend the lead and Mattingly picked up a pin over Timmy Box in the third period to give CMU a 12-0 lead.
After dropping their first match at 149 pounds, the Chippewas responded with decisions by Smith and Ottinger at 157 and 165 and Bennett earned yet another technical fall over Sean Pollock, 18-0.
The Chippewas again forfeited at 197 pounds, but Trice closed the day with a 2-0 decision over Sammy Cervantes to give the Chippewas a 26-12 victory.
