The 13^th-ranked Pitt-Johnstown wrestlers knew what they needed to do to claim a share of their sixth consecutive PSAC Dual Meet Championships.  A victory at 19^th-ranked Mercyhurst in the season's dual meet finale would give Pitt-Johnstown a share of the 2021-22 title with No. 6 Gannon, a team it defeated, 18-12, just over 12 hours earlier.
 
A technical fall win by sixth-ranked Jacob Ealy at 149 lbs. helped Pitt-Johnstown race out to a 13-point lead, and Alex Weber's major decision win at 184 lbs., put the match out of reach and gave the Mountain cAts their sixth straight PSAC crown with a 29-12 victory over the Lakers.  Pitt-Johnstown wrapped-up the dual meet season at 13-1 overall and 6-1 in the PSAC.
 
The Mountain Cats got off to a quick start with Matt Siszka's 10-1 major decision over Jacob Ruggeri at 125 lbs., before Mercyhurst answered with a fall from Eric Bartos at 6:42 in the 133-lb. bout to go in front, 6-4.
 
However, Pitt-Johnstown bounced right back with four consecutive wins to climb out to a 13-point lead  At 141 lbs., Caleb Morris used a point for riding time to outlast Alexis Soriano, 2-1, and give the lead back to the Mountain Cats and sixth-ranked Jacob Ealy won a 16-0 technical fall at 5:50 over Mike Zacur to make it 12-6.
 
Pitt-Johnstown continued to build on its lead.  A 5-2 decision win from 11^th-ranked Nate Smith at 157 lbs., followed by an 11-0 major decision from No. 8 Dillon Keane over Mike Clark at 165 lbs. increased it to 19-6.
 
At 174 lbs., No. 11 Dillon Walker upset fourth-ranked Brock Biddle, 17-10 to get the Lakers back to within 10, but Weber's 8-0 majors decision over over Barbules in the 184-lb. made it 23-9 bout put the match out of reach with just two bouts remaining.
 
Mercyhurst picked-up a decision win at 197 lbs., but Pitt-Johnstown's Oggie Atwood closed out the 29-12 win by pinning Justin Petrilena at 4:50.
