• Trailing 6-2 entering the second period, Triplett turned a reversal and maintained top position, eventually turning Wartburg's Dusten Reed to his back to secure the fall at the 4:36 mark.
• At 157#, Wartburg's Drew Waggenhoffer raced out to a 4-1 lead in the first period with two takedowns of sophomore Jimmy Davis. After Waggenhoffer chose down to start the second, a pair of reversals put Davis back in control. Davis managed to work Waggenhoffer into a cradle, but out of nowhere, Waggenhoffer benefited from an ill-timed move by Davis, resulting in the defensive pin.
• Freshman Javier Soto stepped to the line at 184# for Loras and found himself down early to Wartburg's Brit Bastow, 6-0. No matter, Soto meticulously worked his way back into the match, starting with a takedown in the second period. Then in the third period, Bastow chose the top position, but could not keep Soto down, who scored an escape, followed by a takedown to cut Bastow's lead to 7-5. With time winding down, Soto was unable to expose Bastow's chest and score back points, falling 8-5.
