Springfield closed out the afternoon against host Wilkes and won by a 37-16 margin. Myles Leonard (Waldwick, N.J.), who entered the day leading all of college wrestling in pinfalls, added three more to his total to highlight Springfield's efforts.

Chase Parrott (Stamford, Conn.) followed in 3:25 at 149, while at 157, Jacob Deguire (Schenectady, N.Y.) scored six points after putting his opponent on his back in 6:07. Leonard needed just 1:45 for a first-period pin at 165 before Brayden Grim (Gales Ferry, Conn.) clipped his opponent by an 8-7 margin at 174. Springfield would tack on two more pins as Doug Clark (Lynn, Mass.) and Michael Filieri (Garfield, N.J.) each registered six points for the Pride as Clark scored a pin in 5:16 and Filieri powered his way to a win in 1:51.

Springfield won six bouts against Muhlenberg to earn its second victory of the day. Isiac Paulino (Athol, Mass.) got the nod at 125 and battled his way to a 9-2 win and Gianni Manginelli followed with a first-period pin in 2:05. Parsons then added a 5-2 decision at 141 and Parrott recorded an 18-3 technical fall to put the Pride in control, 17-0. Muhlenberg would pick up a decision at 157, only to have Leonard notch another pin, this time in 1:54. Springfield would add to more wins in the dual, as Clark benefitted from a medical forfeit and Filieri earned a 3-0 decision at 285.

In their final match of the day, Springfield earned victories in the first six bouts, including four by pinfall. Joey Manginelli kicked off the match at 125 with a pin in 3:35 and Gianni Manginelli made short work of his opponent at 133 with a pin in just 1:33. Parsons followed with a 13-3 major decision and Parrot tallied a 15-9 decision at 149.

The hosts would string together wins in the next three weight classes, only to have Filieri cap off the day on a high note with his third victory of the afternoon with a pin in 1:58.
