After the Spartans pickd up the next two wins, Jacob Deguire (Schenectady, N.Y.) produced a 18-0 technical fall at 157 to put the Pride up 11-6, only to have the hosts rattled off the next four victories, including a pair by pinfall to go up 27-11.  Michael Filieri (Garfield, N.J.) ended the dual for the Pride with a hard-fought 7-2 decision at 285. 

In its final action of the day, the dual started off at 165 and Myles Leonard (Waldwick, N.J.) gave Springfield a 6-0 lead after an injury default.
