At 125 pounds, Piatt (Fr., Olathe, Colo.) began the dual by earning a pin at 5:09 to give the Mountaineers (11-2, 7-1 RMAC) an early 6-0 advantage.
Zane Rich (R-Fr., Syracuse, Utah) added to the Western lead at 133 pounds with a 5-3 decision for a 9-0 score before Corbin Bennetts (Jr., Buena Vista, Colo.) tallied a 10-7 decision in the 141-pound class to increase the Mountaineer lead to 12-0 through three matches.
CSM (5-7, 2-6 RMAC) began to trim away at its deficit, earning a 9-5 decision at 149 pounds before recording a pin at 5:48 in the 157-pound match to make it 12-9 Mountaineers.
Harris (Jr., Windsor, Colo.) quickly halted the CSM momentum as he recorded a pin in 28 seconds at 165 pounds for an 18-9 Mountaineer lead.
The Orediggers forfeited matches at 174, 184 and 197 pounds to extend the Western advantage to 36-9 before Anguiano (Sr., Elk Grove, Calif.) ended the dual with a pin at 2:53 in the heavyweight match for a final 42-9.
"I thought the dual went really well," said head coach Miles Van Hee. "The seven guys that did wrestle ended the season in Western fashion."
Before Wednesday's dual, Western also honored five seniors with Elliot Copeland, Kyle Piatt, Sam Mangum, Peter Anguiano and CJ York making their final appearances at Paul Wright Gym as Mountaineers.
"Wrestling with those guys (seniors) has been great," Copeland said. "They've been calling us murder row since we were freshmen. I'm going to miss wrestling with them."
The Mountaineers will next travel to Pueblo for the NCAA Division II Region IV Championships at Massari Arena, Feb. 27-28.
