• Chattanooga went 4-6 on the day averaging better than a major decision per win.
• Blake Boarman got his win in overtime at 133. He could not breakthrough Chad Bellis' defense for seven minutes before quickly settling it with a takedown in sudden victory period one.
• Eli Knight was up 1-0 in the second when he locked in at the minute mark completing a takedown and pin in nearly one move.
• The losses at 149 and 165 for Dyane Dalrymple and Jackson Hurst could've got either way with Kaden Kaiser holding on for an 8-6 decision at 149 and No. 7 Will Miller evading Hurst in the final minute of a 9-5 win.
