Linden Phetxoumphone faced a sturdy test in the #4 113-pounder in Class 1A with Nic Brase, but Phetxoumphone would control the match for a 9-2 decision. Ridge Berninghaus would be pinned by (1A) #1 Jayden Rinken at 120, before the Lynx reeled off 3 straight wins with a Carson Doolittle pin, a Dawson Bertran decision and Gavin Wynkoop pin. Blake Berninghaus would lose via tech fall at 144, before Tristan Mason won a 6-4 decision at 150. Isaac Firsching would fall at 165 via pin, putting N-P ahead 29-27, but Webster City would seal the upset with pins from Luke Estlund and Carson Bertran at 175 and 190 to cap a 35-30 win.
