    Sophomores Jeren Glosser (149) and Jeremiah Moody (165), and senior Phillip Laux (133) also won titles. Glosser registered a team-high three falls and Moody scored bonus points in all four matches. Laux was 3-0 with a fall and major decision.

    Three title matches were intrasquad bouts. Perez Perez (125), Carter Happel (141), and Stephen Alvarez (149) all placed runner-up in their respective brackets.
