Recap: The statements were made early and often in the win over the Ducks, starting with Joey Fischer's fourth pin of the season. This time the freshman took down Andrew Finateri early in the second period and worked him over for the fall just more than a minute into the second period. Seth Koleno added a major decision over Kyle Slendorn to make it a 10-3 team match but Stevens took the match lead with a tech fall and a pin in the 149 and 157-pound bouts, respectively.
 
The Ducks led 14-10 at that juncture, but those would be the final points they scored as Clarion ran the table the rest of the way. Cam Pine improved to 13-3 with his fourth tech fall of the season, beating James Snyder 17-2 in the second period, and Caleb Hetrick earned six team points on an injury default at 174 pounds. Max Wohlabaugh got his first win by fall of the season, beating Brendan Newbury at 184 pounds, and Austin Chapman recorded his first pin of the year with a first period fall over Joseph Russell. Those results were sandwiched around a 3-2 decision by Brett Wittmann.
