Albert Lea’s Mike Olson, Logan Davis, Brody Ignaszewski and Aivin Wasmoen started off the Mankato West dual with four consecutive pinfalls. They were followed by three consecutive major decisions from Nick Korman, Carter Miller and Cameron Davis. Triton Cox got the falls rolling again at 152 pounds and was followed by Derrick  McMillian, Blake Braun, Luke Moller and Kadin Indrelie also picking up pinfall wins.
