The match began with the 125-bout and yet another win for Angel Escobedo. The Griffith, Indiana native improved to a perfect 22-0 on the year, downing Michigan State's Joel Murphy, 14-4.
After a Spartan decision in the 133-pound weight class, the Hoosiers ripped off four consecutive wins. The run began with Scott Kelly grabbing a 3-2 decision and concluded when Matt Coughlin arose victorious in the 165-bout contest, 7-4. Sandwiched in between those two wins were Kurt Kinser's Big Ten-high 27th win and a dominating performance by Brandon Becker in a 15-2 major decision. Becker tallied near-fall points three times in the first period, jumping out to a 10-0 lead.
Michigan State then closed the gap to 17-6 with a decision in the 174-pound match. Senior Marc Bennett responded with a decision for IU in the following match, however. Nate Everhart ended the match by nabbing three more points for Indiana, recording a 7-4 decision in the heavyweight match.
