Penn’s No. 4 Matt Feast barely snuck by Ogunwole with a 4-2 decision, even though Ogunwole was wrestling in just the third match of his collegiate career.

East Stroudsburg 22, Harvard 18

Fresh off its victory over Princeton earlier in the day and down just 16-12 heading into the final three matches, Weiss saw a chance for the Crimson to pick up its second win of the day and the year, but would have to juggle his lineup in doing so.

Rather than have Jantzen wrestle at his normal 149 lbs. position, Weiss chose to wrestle him up against the Warriors’ Keith Kelckner and send sophomore Mike Baria in at the 149-lb. slot. Though Baria lost the match 6-4, Jantzen pinned his heavier opponent just over a minute into the match to bring Harvard within one at 19-18. The scoring situation meant that whichever team won the next and final match would win the meet.

Senior Brandon Kaufmann (157 lbs.) also wrestled up a weight class against East Stroudsburg’s EIWA ranked No. 5 Keith Smith in the next match. Though the score was tied at two apiece with just a few seconds remaining in regulation, Kaufmann chose to go for a seemingly desperate takedown attempt—rather than let the match go into overtime and try and win it there—and ended up having the move backfire on him as Smith managed to reverse it, win the match, and score three points for his team to secure East Stroudsburg victory.

“I think he saw that he had an opportunity there and that he needed to get it quick while the guy wasn’t paying attention, and he went for it,” Lee said. “If you’re going to lose, that’s how you should go out.”

Harvard 22, Princeton 10

Against a team that is one of the five unranked in the conference and features just two top-six wrestlers in the league, Harvard pulled off its first team victory.

The biggest win of the night came from Ogunwole who in his first college match defeated one of the Tigers’ two EIWA ranked wrestlers in No. 2 Joe Looke with a 4-3 decision. The Ogunwole victory also ended a four-match winning spurt for the Crimson that opened up the match.

Jantzen also had a big victory, pinning his opponent in just 57 seconds, the only pin or technical fall of the match.
