The Rams won three matches over their long-time rival, highlighted by a first-period pin from 14th-ranked McLaren over No. 11 Jared Voss at 184 pounds. McLaren (16-8) overcame an early 3-0 deficit and put Voss on his back for a fall in 3:00.

The Rams (5-10) dropped two tight matches to finish the night. In a nationally-ranked battle at 197, Coe's No. 7 Mathieu Arsenault needed a third-period takedown to get past No. 13 Treyten Steffen, 7-5. Steffen moved his season record to 20-6.
 
At heavyweight, Cornell's Jackson Brinker (23-10) was edged 4-2 by Wyatt Smith. Cornell 125-pounder Jase Van Pelt went the distance with 10th-ranked Cade Hornback in a 4-0 loss.
