Trent Johnson (No. 6 at 141) jumped out to a 9-1 lead in the first period during his match against Lucas Patterson (No. 17 at 133). Johnson would go on to produce a dominating 21-6 technical fall victory, giving LWC an 8-6 advantage.

Life would regain the lead at 149-pounds with an 8-2 decision and then extended their match lead to 13-8 with a major decision victory in the next bout.

The Running Eagles were able to cut the Lindsey Wilson lead back to one point when they won the on a 10-4 decision during the 184-pound bout. Life then regained the lead during the next match when they produced a major decision victory.
