Hayden Hidlay closed the first session with the Pack's third bonus point win over the first four weight classes. Hidlay scored all six takedowns in the bout – two in each period – and racked up 2:27 of RT for the 14-5 major decision.
In the opening bout of Session 1B, Thomas Bullard got revenge from a 4-0 dual loss earlier this season, and scored a 3-2 win over SoCon Wrestler of the Year Formato of App State, 3-2. The lone takedown of the bout by Bullard came in the bout's first minute.
Daniel Bullard used a takedown in both the first and second period and scored a 4-0 decision over Air Force's Surratt.
