Jamestown got on the board with a pair of pins of their own at 157 and 165 but Loujerry Etienne (Brooklyn/New Visions) stopped the Jayhawk momentum with his first career pin at 174. He pinned Jesse Storch in 1:23. Blake Ilges (Canisteo Greenwood) battled Dan Torres, the #1 wrestler at 174 in the NJCAA, but fell to 9-1. The Pioneers wrapped up the victory with a pair of forfeit wins, Harry Nice (Dundee) at 197 and Kyle Fitzgerald (South Lewis) at heavyweight.

The Pioneers improve to 3-1 in home dual meets on the season.
