The Blue Raiders took second place in the team standings with 115 points, while the host Patriots earned the team title with 214.5 points. Marian Military Institute (Ala.) rounded out the top three with 112 points. Sophomore Craig West represented the start of Lindsey Wilson wrestling in the school's first-ever match. West's debut set the tone for the day as he recorded a pin in the first period. West recorded the historic fall against Tennessee Temple's Shane Vibbert in the 157-pound weight class. Two Blue Raiders and two Lindsey Wilson student-athletes wrestling unattached qualified for the NAIA National Championships by finishing in the top-25 percent of their weight class at the open. Freshman Brian Thompson qualified at 133 with a second-place finish in the class after scoring 10 points on the day. Thompson received a first-round bye and then defeated Ryan Lowry from King (TN) College, 7-3, in the quarterfinals. The Winston-Salem, NC, native won again in the semifinals over the Patriots' Joseph Morales (5-2), before falling in the finals by major decision to Cumberlands' Jacob Gregory, 19-5. Sophomore Chip Condon finished fourth at 157 to qualify for nationals. Condon contributed seven points to the team total while competing in five matches at the open.

Condon got the decision against another Cumberlands wrestler, Kris Cope, 15-8, before losing to the Patriots' Kevin Sanchez, 12-8, in the semifinals. Dropping into the consolation bracket, Condon faced a familiar opponent in Lindsey Wilson junior Drew McElrath. McElrath lost in the quarterfinals of the winner's bracket, but had won four straight consolation matches to advance to the match with Condon. In a matchup that ultimately decided who would earn a trip to nationals, Condon narrowly received the decision over McElrath by a 4-3 score.

Nash won the individual title in his class with an 18-1 technical-fall decision over Sanchez from Cumberlands.
