Leaving three matches in the meet, that meant that UW-SP would have to win all three by fall or forfeit to win the match.  UW-SP's Jordan Kust earned a decision at 141 to pull the Pointers three points closer, 20-6.  Another recent entry into Whitewater's lineup, Cade Sarbacker (Mineral Point/Iowa-Grant), remained unbeaten at 6-0 with a major decision at 149, and Point's Ben Strobel closed out the match with a major decision at 157.

UW-W is 19-7 in dual meets.
