Riding time allowed the major decision to be scored 9-0.

From there Ashland answered with two key pin falls at 141 and 149. It set the team score at 12-7, and the Eagles were able hold on the rest of the way.

Despite that, the Storm were still able to pull out a pair of wins. Nick Boggs, ranked No. 8 at 157, continued his incredible season with a 5-2 decision. It took an escape in the late part of the third before the main separation took place in the third overtime thanks to an escape and a takedown.

Chris Droege added the final team points on a 7-1 decision. Four of those came on a near fall in the second. Two more were added on a takedown in the third.
