Five different Boro grapplers were a perfect 3-0, led as usual by Gregor Gillespie. The senior moved into a tie for 12th place in career victories with a 114-10 career mark. Gillespie won by technical fall and major decision at 157 lbs. He came in ranked fourth.
Younger brother Torsten Gillespie posted possibly the biggest win of the day as he upset Eric Medina of Maryland, who is ranked 14th by InterMat, via a 6-5 decision at 149 lbs. He went 2-1 on the day, losing to sixth-ranked Matt Kyler of Army.
In addition to Gregor Gillespie, Jarrod King (165 lbs.), Phil Moricone (174 lbs.), Chris Honeycutt (184 lbs.) and Joey Fendone (hwt.) went 3-0.
The toughest day likely belonged to Pat Bradshaw at 197 lbs. The junior had the misfortune of two nationally-ranked wrestlers. He was a 3-2 loser to 16th-ranked Richard Starks of Army, then suffered a 1-0 setback to Hudson Taylor of Maryland, who is ranked second. Taylor recorded a second period escape for the lone points, avoiding a near takedown by Bradshaw midway through the third period.
Fendone had an impressive day at heavyweight. The senior, ranked tenth, won twice by fall, then held off Pat Gilmore of Maryland, 1-0.
