Derek Berberick dropped a 4-0 decision to No. 3 Jake Robb of Mercyhurst. The difference in the match was a takedown awarded to Robb late in the second period that made the score 3-0. Berberick escaped right at the second-period buzzer, but after review, the escape was not granted in time. Robb rode Berberick the length of the third period to achieve a riding-time point.
