The Little Giants won five matches in addition to claiming five forfeits for the team victory.
The night opened with a 10-3 decision by Brett Thumm at 197 pounds. After Abe Hall received a forfeit at heavyweight, Tommy Poynter scored a major decision with a 17-8 victory at 125 pounds.
Robbie Carter picked up a pin in the final second of his 133-pound bout. Jacob Cottey and Patrick Parham received forfeits at 141 and 149 pounds respectively to add to the team scoring.
Chanc Ravish needed just 29 seconds to score a pin at 157 pounds. Two more forfeits -- one for Christian Rodriguez at 165 pounds and another for Mark Maldonado at 174 pounds -- set up the final match of the night.
Riley Lefever, who earlier in the day was ranked third in Division III for the NCAA Most Dominant Wrestler Award, controlled his 184-pound bout from the outset. The sophomore scored a technical fall at 6:24 of the match by a score of 23-4.
"It was a great wrestling environment tonight and the guys got after it from the first whistle to the last.," Wabash head coach Brian Anderson said. "They all were pushing for more points in every period, which is what we need to see out of them at this point of the season."
The Little Giants will compete at the Greyhound Open Tournament at the University of Indianapolis. Competition begins at 10 a.m.
