Air Force (0-2) jumped out to a 6-0 lead on wins by Tyler Wiederholt at 174 and Jacob Thompson at 184. Pride sophomore Trey Rogers put Hofstra on the board with a 3-0 win over Casey Jumps at 197 before Knighton-Ward posted a dramatic pin of 22nd-ranked Kayne Hutchison with just three seconds remaining in their 285-pound match for a 9-3 lead. Air Force sophomore Sidney Flores tied the match at 9-9 with a 6-0 victory over Matt Templeton at 125.
Lambert (2-2) gave Hofstra the lead for good with a pin of sophomore Jared Van Vleet at the 4:01 mark of their 133-pound match. Air Force senior Garrett O'Shea brought the Falcons to within three at 15-12 with a 9-5 win over Hofstra's Vinny Vespa at 141.
But that would be the last win for the Falcons on the night as Pride freshman Reece Heller edged fellow rookie Dylan Martinez, 7-6 at 149, older brother sophomore Holden Heller clouted Trey Brisker, 7-1 at 157, and junior Ricky Stamm closed out the match with a 3-1 sudden victory decision on a takedown over 29th-ranked Randy Meneweather.
Hofstra (1-0) returns to action on Friday and Saturday, December 6-7 when the Pride compete in the Cliff Keen-Las Vegas Invitational.
