Duke redshirt freshman Dan Tulley earned a 3-1 win over Kane Smith in the 184-pound weight class to cut the deficit to four but that was as close as the Blue Devils would get.

Tyler Shovlin, who is ranked 14th in the heavyweight division, followed with a 4-0 win over freshman Wade Van Sickle to extend the lead to 17-6.
