However, the Tigers would start their own onslaught after that, starting with a Levi Dirkx pin at 132, before the Tigers picked up wins by fall from 138 to 165 to take a 40-24 lead. Luke Estlund stopped the bledding momentarily with a pin at 175 lbs, but Quentin Polking and Gavin Holt cinched up a 52-30 win with a pair of falls for Carroll.
