Harvard got seven wins on the evening, including a pin from freshman A.J. Jaffe and a win via major decision from classmate Kyle Bierdumpfel. The wins were part of a run of six-straight victories by the Crimson.

Bierdumpfel jumped out to an early advantage at 165 pounds, eventually working his way to a 14-point major decision victory, 17-3. Juniors Josef Johnson and Kanon Dean pushed the dual out of reach with victories at 174 and 184 pounds, winning 8-2 and 9-4.
Following a Pride win at 197 pounds, senior Nicholas Gajdzik won by forfeit to close the match at 285 pounds.
