Dana did not have much time to recover as the 20th ranked Morningside Chargers came into the Vikings' lair less than 24 hours later. Dana Head Coach Richard Fergola had his grapplers ready for the challenge. Fergola juggled his roster to deal with some tired and injured wrestlers. The coaching moves allowed Dana to come away with a 42-10 win. Trampe dispatched Bradley Gustafson in quick fashion by pin in 3:07 at 125. Eric Graham (FR, Kansas City, Mo.) dropped a 15-2 decision to Chris Utesch at 133 pounds. This would be the only match the Vikings would lose on the weekend.
