Kutztown picked up bonus points in seven weight classes and led wire-to-wire against the Royals.

A takedown early in overtime lifted Matt Wilde (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown Area (Ursinus)) to a 13-11 decision over Melvin Rubio in the opening bout at 125 lbs. Christopher Crane (Manahawkin, N.J./Southern Regional) followed with a forfeit win, allowing the Golden Bears (8-1) to jump out to a 9-0 lead.

Pins from Austin Scrivani (Layton, N.J./Kittatinny Regional) (149), Connor Rogovich (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill West) (165) and John Barlow (Upper Chichester, Pa./Chichester) (285) helped widen KU's advantage. Redshirt junior 157-pounder Chad Haegele (Warrington, Pa./Archbishop Wood) blanked Micah Marcin for a 15-0 tech fall two seconds into the second period.

Another Queens forfeit at 174 kept T.C. Warner (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley (Bloomsburg)) undefeated on the season, while No. 1 Jeff Reimel (Lansdale, Pa./North Penn) was on his way to another win at 184, before Noah Curreri retired 1:21 into the match.

#16 KUTZTOWN 40, MINOT STATE 3

The Golden Bears buried Minot State early, winning the first three weight classes, while the Beavers were docked a team point for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Matt Wilde (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown Area (Ursinus)) and Lucas Miller (Perkiomenville, Pa./Boyertown Area) posted decisions before Jake Jones (Stroudsburg, Pa./Stroudsburg) made quick work of MSU's Jered Sublet with a 25-second fall.

Kutztown kept piling up the bonus points with two pins, two major decisions and a tech. fall over the final six weight classes.

Chad Haegele (Warrington, Pa./Archbishop Wood) topped Zach Berry by major decision, 12-4, at 157 and Connor Rogovich (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill West) produced a 20-4 (6:48) tech. fall against Nathan Baca at 165 ahead of T.C. Warner's (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley (Bloomsburg)) 1:29 pin of Anthony Raupp at 174.

Reimel survived Keegan Berry's upset bid, 3-2, at 184 to put Kutztown up 30-3.  James Meyer (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East) whitewashed Je-Mario Jones, 9-0, and nationally-ranked No. 7 Andrew Dunn Jr. (Bethlehem, Pa./Bethlehem Catholic (Virginia Tech)) needed just 61 seconds to pin Jordan Will. The pin was Dunn Jr.'s eighth of the season.
