Final Results

In a match that went down to the final dual, fifth-ranked Indiana Tech pulled out a 20-16 victory over 18^th-ranked Lourdes on Saturday afternoon inside the Warrior Athletic Center in Fort Wayne, Ind.
 
"This was a heartbreaking match for us to lose," head coach Dock Kelly III said afterwards.  "We were in complete control of the match, and we let it slip away from us.  We must push through the adversity and stay focused even when the environment is not friendly.  We will learn from this loss and allow it to fuel us to get better."
