In a tight 141 bout, Aidan Bernard came away victorious with a 6-4 decision. Sophomore Max Honiss followed it up with a first period pin at 149. The young Brits continued to roll, as the 157 match was won with ease by freshman Peyton Brooks. Brooks tech falled his opponent in 3:44, giving Albion a 22-0 lead halfway through.

Thomas Potter picked up a major decision with a 9-1 win at 165. At 184, Owen McDaniel earned his team-leading 20th win of the season with a 15-7 victory. Bode Brown was victorious in the 197 match with a commanding 18-4 win. CJ Krum, last week's hero, grinded out a 3-2 win to wrap up the night.
