The Orediggers ended their day by winning the first seven bouts to race out to a big lead and beat San Francisco State, 32-6.

The Gators, who were receiving votes in the most recent NWCA Top 25 poll, won only two matches as Mines scored wins over both of SFSU's nationally-ranked wrestlers to start off.

Au-Yeung got the riding time point to force overtime at 3-3, and after a scoreless sudden victory, Au-Yeung reversed Gurrola from the bottom to lead 5-4 after Gurrola escaped. Au-Yeung then rode out the second 30-second tiebreaker to win.

The wins kept coming as Erickson beat Christian Ramos in a 12-4 major, Ottum topped Isiah Alva 5-2, and Skyler Lykins dropped Romeo Medina 11-7, and Willits earned six points by forfeit at 165. Gambrell then beat Kurtis Clem at 174 12-1 to seal things up; Mines' final win came at heavyweight as Brandon Saunders pinned Antonio Gomez at 1:57.
