Zach Tanelli (Millburn, N.J.) faced Chad Vandiver at 133 lbs. The match was tied 2-2 late in the third period before Tanelli notched a takedown in the final seconds to win 5-2 and give UW an 18-6 lead. The Badgers won their sixth straight bout as No. 17 Kyle Ruschell (Crittenden, Kent.) posted a 10-1 victory over Dan Ruettiger at 141 lbs.
Trailing 22-6, the Huskies managed a win at 149 lbs. as No. 17 Mike Grimes defeated Jordan Crass (Medford, Wis.) 12-5. However, the Badgers would end on a victory with No. 4 Craig Henning (Chippewa Falls,Wis.) notching a 12-0 major decision over Kalen Knull.
