The Wildcats began the day against AIC, dropping just one contested bout. Mullen led off with an 8-2 decision and freshman Scott Patrick pinned Angel Mazza in 3:32 to give Davidson an early 9-0 lead. Davidson forfeited at 184 pounds, but sophomore Ike Crews (197) and Wolff earned decisions, sophomore Matt Zarth earned a technical fall, and senior Alex Radsky (133 ponuds) and sophomore Scott Ray (149) earned forfeit wins.

Davidson capped the day with a convincing win over Sacred Heart. The match was even at 6-6, after Mullen and Patrick earned decisions and the 'Cats forfeited at 174 pounds. Crews and Wolff gave Davidson a six-point cushion before gallant comeback attempt by Zarth fell just short at 9-7.
