Mesenbrink also improved his record to 10-0 against ranked opponents, defeating No.

Haynes appeared to have the upper hand as he defeated No.

Brooks earned his 12th bonus point in 13 races, tying him with 13th place Silas Allred at 17-4.
Starocci, who did not play in Monday’s game against Rutgers, snapped a 63-game winning streak (the longest streak in Division I in the country) with his fifth technical fall of the season.
Starocci (11-0) is playing a booked schedule this season and needs four more games to qualify for the NCAA RPI, the postseason seeding standard, but is by far the alpha in this division.
