In round two, the Lakers were led by pins from Gentilcore in 4:59 and Sam Farfaglia (Fr., Canastota, N.Y.) in 2:41. They also picked up six points with a forfeit issues to Dan Pineda.

The Lakers did need to overcome three pins by Muskingum though. They did that with four other wins on the mat.

Santiago grabbed a 9-2 victory, Brad Mayville (Fr., Ontario, N.Y.) added a 10-2 win, Maxx Stratton ( So., Accord, N.Y.) claimed his match 6-5 and Kyle Sheridan (Jr., Syracuse, N.Y.) picked up a 4-1 victory. 

Round three could not be settled on the scoreboard, instead Williams needed to use tiebreaker criteria to claim the dual 25-24.

Pineda, Justin Patus and Farfaglia all picked up wins by forfeit, while Santiago fought his way to a 5-2 win and Cameron Mills (Sr., Fulton, N.Y.) grabbed a 3-1 victory.

However, Williams had three pins and picked up two decisions by just two points to come away with the team win.
