Jonathan Haas, who is ranked 10th in the nation at the 125-lb weight class, got things started off with an easy victory over Jack Del Duca. It took Haas just 02:32 in the opening round to win by fall, earning six quick points for Brockport.

Nathan Walker at 141. The freshman went the distance with his opponent but controlled the match, eventually winning by a 9-4 decision.
Sean Peacock proved his status as the No. 6 wrestler at 149 is no fluke with an easy 21-6 technical fall victory of Joey Bush of Oswego. Peacock dominated his opponent, continuously conceding escape points only to earn two more points with every takedown. Late in the third round, he used one final takedown to take a 20-6 edge, and was awarded a point for ride time, giving him the 15-point advantage and technical fall victory.
