A trifecta of Hoosiers went 3-0 on the day, led in team points by Paul Young and his two pins. Matt Powless and Ricky Alcala had their hand raised three times on Saturday as well. Powless dominated the competition, racking up over 20 takedowns in his three major decisions. Additional multiple-time winners for IU were Matt Ortega, Kurt Kinser, Ryan Konz and Nick Avery.
Indiana opened the round-robin competition with a 34-12 winning tally over UNCG in the first round. The day couldn't start any better for the Cream and Crimson as Justin Brooks, Ortega and true freshman Mitchell Richey each pinned their adversaries for an 18-0 edge on the team scoreboard. Young then added in another IU fall in the 157-pound bout two matches later. Wins by Avery, Powless and Alcala down the stretch gave Indiana a 34-12 winner.
Old Dominion jumped out to a 10-0 advantage in the second dual of the day before Kinser started the IU comeback with his 6-3 decision at 149 pounds. Indiana took the next three bouts as well, including a pin by Young, to go ahead 15-10. A 1-0 loss in the 184-lbs. match was a short speed bump in the road as IU grabbed the final two bouts for the 22-13 victory.
The final dual of the night was as close as it gets with the result coming down to the heavyweights. Alcala fended off a late rush by Northern Illinois's Dakota Greenhaw in the closing seconds to hold on for a 5-2 decision that sealed the deal for Indiana, 22-18. The Hoosiers won six of 10 bouts, including bonus points coming from a Kinser pin and Powless' third consecutive major decision.
