During the next bout at 157lbs, sophomore Gabriel Heaney bumped up a weight class and fell via an 11-1 major decision to SVU's William Haight. In the final match, sophomore Joseph Martini III fell by pinfall at the 5:55-mark resulting in the 39-10 final score.

 
"The men took care of business today, especially considering that we have a few guys out of the lineup," Director of Wrestling Joe Jamison said. "Guys like Gabriel Heaney and Joseph Martini bumped up in weight so that we didn't have any forfeits, and both guys wrestled really tough. We are looking forward to getting back in the room to prepare for the New Standard Invitational at York. It's always a date we have circled on our calendar."

 
The Bears will return to action on Friday, December 1^st as they travel to York, Pennsylvania for the New Standard Invitational.
