At 133 pounds, Zach Schiffer was taken down and put on his back in the first period, but overcame the deficit and scored a pin over Aaron Quinlan at 4:40.
T.J. Perna, in his first match on CU's team, wrestled CSU captain Nick Medina and was defeated 10-3 bringing the match score to 7-6 in favor of CSU. But a forfeit at 149 put CU further behind.
