The dual started with the 174 lb. weight class with Nate Alvarez winning in a decisive fashion over Nathan McClain 16-3. Josh Fansler won his match by way of fall at 184 lbs. before the Jets dropped two matches in a row. The first match dropped was due to forfiet, while the next match lost by the Jets was at Heavyweight. Zach Hanford got pinned by Bryan Stransbury. The Jets answered right back, however, with a pin by Isasc Wall at 125 lbs. The next and last match won by a Colorado School of Mines wrestler was Kellen Costelow at 133 lbs. Costelow won a hard fought match against Newman's John Hagan 5-3. The last four matches was won by Newman. Aeron Hill, Clay Goodloe, Jake Johnston, and Steven Sprague finished up the night. Johnston picked up 6 points for the Jets by pinning his opponent, while Sprague won the match due to forfiet.
