However, Pitt-Johnstown finished strong to put the match away.  At 184 lbs., Noah Gnibus opened up a 7-0 advantage after two periods and dealt Cole Dubois an 8-1 loss ahead of sixth-ranked Dakoda Rodgers' 8-4 win over Bruce Vaughn at 197 lbs.
 
Fifth-ranked Isaiah Vance wrapped-up the 22-11 Mountain Cat win with a 2-0 decision over Bishop McCoy at 285 lbs.
