JT Beirne (Fanwood, NJ / Scotch Plains Fanwood) won by injury default to extend the Lions advantage to 14-6.

At 165 Nick Herring (Middletown, NJ / Middletown South) earned a major decision. Dan Kilroy (Wayne, NJ / Wayne Hills) followed by winning by fall, his 12^th pin of the season. When Springfield forfeited the 184 pound weight class, TCNJ had clinched the victory with a 30-9 lead.
