         Pitt-Johnstown moved on to the second round to face PSAC Foe Seton Hill and came away with a 38-3 win.
         The Mountain Cats and Griffins split the first two bouts with a pair of decisions, but Pitt-Johnstown broke it open with eight consecutive wins.
         At 141 lbs., Morris took down Joel Cawoski with under :10 left in the third period to secure a 5-3 win, and Ealy won by technical fall at 3:46 over Logan McCoy to give the Mountain Cats an 11-3 advantage.
         Smith held off Tyler Alberts, 1-0, at 157 lbs., and a  Keane forfeit win at 165 lbs. pushed it out to 20-3.
         The Mountain Cats kept it going with Biddle's tech fall at 2:32 over Luke Ewing and Gage Arnold's 11-3 major decision over Riley O'Mara at 184 lbs.
         Rodgers held off Brendan Finnerty, 9-6, at 197 lbs., and Atwood picked-up his second fall of the day when he pinned Sawyer Daugherty :43 into the first period to set the final at 38-3.
