"Overall I think we saw some improvement, but there are still little details we need to work on" Head Coach
Mark Branch said "
Chase Zollmann had a really strong day and I liked the fact that he's started to find his offense. Picking up a fall to end the day was big for him."
The 133-pound weight class would be ruled by Wyoming as
Jake Svihel and
Job Greenwood ended up as co-champions at the weight. For Greenwood, it was hard fought day picking up two wins by three points or less including an overtime win, his highlight victory was a 13-5 major decision victory over Kainula Estrella (UVU).
