Starting the match at 152 pounds, the Raiders won six matches in a row on the mat from 160 pounds through heavyweight and then picked up a forfeit win at 106 pounds to take a commanding 34-3 lead.

That was more than enough to withstand a DuBois advantage in the lower weights, as the Beavers won four of the six bouts between 113 pounds and 145 pounds.
