Sophomore Mallory Chunat would then beat Mackenzie Finn by fall (0:59) and sophomore Erika Novak won by fall (0:32) against Emely Rodriguez to secure the team with a 1-point victory.

Lewis and Novak returned to their winning ways in the dual against Davenport, with Lewis winning by fall (0:54) over Elizabeth Palmer and Novak winning by fall (2:12) over Alexis Adams.
