Several close matches. Two sudden victory matches. No bonus victories. 4 Parkside wins - many others were winnable.

Riding time was a key to victory for St. Cloud State at 125 and 149, with the Huskies earning a riding point in both matches.

An injury in the 1st sudden victory period led to a unique situation at 285. Reynolds was able to choose down and win by escape. 1:30 minutes remained and he got loose in 30 seconds. Not sure if riding time is counted during the sudden victory OT period but it did not matter.
