Sean Russell won a 6-4 decision in sudden victory at 125 lbs., career win number 90.
Eight seniors were honored prior to the match: Terrence Cheeks, Jensen Lorea, Austin Matthews, Tony Recco, Ty Schoffstall, Gordon Truesdale, Zaal Zafari, and Sam Ziff.

The first match of the evening pitted a pair of nationally-ranked wrestlers at 125 lbs., as tenth-ranked Sean Russell squared off with Zeke Moisey, ranked 14th. A spirited first period saw the two exchange takedowns and escapes for a 3-3 tie.

The lone scoring in the second period was a Moisey escape. Russell would knot the match at 4-4 with an escape, and the two headed into sudden victory tied at 4-4. Russell would claim the 6-4 decision with a takedown with 27 seconds remaining. He improved to 25-5 and now has 90 career wins, while Moisey fell to 19-8.

Korbin Myers followed with a 6-0 decision at 133 lbs. over Matthew Schmitt. Ranked 17th, Myers entered the third period with a 1-0 lead thanks to a second-period escape. The redshirt sophomore added four near-fall points early in the third period and would ride Schmitt the entire period. Myers is now 23-9 while Schmitt dropped to 17-10.

West Virginia would knot the match at 6-6 with wins at 141 and 149 lbs. Nate Hagan (10-17) battled Christian Monserrat (16-13) at 141 lbs., ultimately losing 2-1 thanks to riding time. WVU's Tyler Rea (13-11) followed with a 4-1 decision over Jensen Lorea, one of the eight seniors honored before the match. Lorea is now 4-11.

Senior Ty Schoffstall celebrated Senior Night with a 12-4 major decision.
Edinboro ran off wins in the next three bouts to take a seemingly safe 18-6 lead. Andrew Shomers got things going with a dominating performance at 157 lbs. After an early takedown, he turned Hunter Jones (10-13) three times, each for four points, for a 14-0 lead after one period. He finished the technical fall with a takedown 26 seconds into the second period for the 16-0 technical fall. Ranked 20th by FloWrestling, Shomers improved to 26-5.

Fritz Hoehn boosted his season ledger to 13-12 with a 6-4 decision over Nick Kiussis at 165 lbs. Hoehn used takedowns in each of the first two periods for a 4-2 advantage. An escape to start the third made it 5-2, but Kiussis closed to 5-4 with a takedown with 40 seconds remaining. A Hoehan escape provided the final margin.

???????Redshirt senior Ty Schoffstall thrilled the senior night crowd with a 12-4 decision at 174 lbs. over WVU's Parker VonEgidy. He led 5-1 after two periods thanks to a pair of takedowns, then registered three more in the final period. He is 18-2 on the year, while VonEgidy dropped to 13-11.

The match would get interesting as West Virginia picked up wins at 184 and 197 lbs. In an all freshmen matchup, Brenden McRill (9-13) handed Zach Ancewicz (10-13) a 5-0 defeat at 184 lbs. Jacob A. Smith was awarded a forfeit win at 197 lbs., and suddenly Edinboro's lead was just 18-15.

It was Miller time for the Fighting Scots! Billy Miller claimed career win number 75 with a 4-0 decision over Brandon Ngati (3-18) at heavyweight. Ranked 14th, Miller got off to a sluggish start with a scoreless first period. An escape and takedown with eight seconds left in the period gave the redshirt junior a 3-0 advantage, and he added a point for riding time as he rode Ngati the entire third period. Miller improved to 14-4 with the victory.
