At 113 pounds, senior Kassie Schaeberle (Concord, Mass.) thrilled the home crowd with clinical work from neutral and a powerful ride out on her way to earning a third period win by fall.

Sophomore Jerry Cao (Boston, Mass.) extended his win streak with a dominant performance at 132, closing out a 18-1 victory by technical fall with thirty seconds left in the second period.

At 157, sophomore Jacob Li (West Newton, Mass.) also looked dynamic from the neutral position, getting to multiple leg attacks and earning a 20-5 technical fall in just under three minutes. Sophomore Edgar Choi (Seoul, Korea), meanwhile, scored a quick pin at 165 to put the Zebras up 34 -18 and senior co-caption Caleb Mitchell (Sudbury, Mass.) sealed the team victory at 195 with an 18-3 technical fall, dominating from whistle to whistle with explosive leg attacks and skilled mat wrestling.
