The loss snaps CMU's 19-match home winning streak.
The teams split the first six pairings and the score was knotted at 10 before the second-ranked Wolverines strung together three straight victories to build an insurmountable lead. Ryan Churella, ranked third in this week's USA Today/NWCA/InterMat poll, pinned CMU's Justin Petrone at 165 to start the run. Nick Roy and Tyrel Todd then posted decisions over Brandon Sinnott (7-6) and Christian Sinnott (3-2), respectively, to boost the Michigan lead to 22-10.
No. 3 Greg Wagner's 4-1 decision over No. 13 Bubba Gritter at heavyweight opened the match and gave Michigan an early 3-0 lead. A decision by Matt Steintrager at 125 and major decision by Jason Borrelli at 133, however, put the Chippewas in front, 7-3. Borrelli tallied seven third-period points, and earned the riding time point, for his major.
Michigan evened the score on a major decision by Josh Churella at 141 and took the lead, 10-7, when No. 5 Eric Tannenbaum earned a 10-5 decision over No. 6 Mark DiSalvo.
Eric Neil knotted the score for the third time when he rallied for a 6-4 decision at 157. Neil scored a takedown with 20 seconds left in the third period to seal the win.
Michigan put the match out of reach with one-point decisions at 174 and 184. Riding time provided the decisive point in Roy's 7-6 victory, while Todd withstood a late flurry from Christian Sinnott to hang on for a 3-2 win.
