Galletta pinned him in the opening round but need multiple overtime periods to capture the consolation final and secure third place.

Galletta lost a close 5-3 decision in the championship semifinals to an Ursinus wrestler with whom he split two close matches in the regular season. In the consolation semis, Galletta avenged an overtime loss to a Johns Hopkins wrestler two weeks earlier with a 2-1 decision.

Parker likewise faced the same opponent in his first and last matches, winning 10-8 in the opening round but falling 8-7 in the consolation final to come in fourth. He also defeated a Washington and Lee opponent, 3-0, in the consolation semis.
