Daton Fix picked up a takedown about one minute into the first period and put together a strong ride to ride out Pletcher for the rest of the period. In the second Fix took bottom and got away quickly. Pletcher took neurtal in the third and eventually got a takedown. It was a bit too late though as Fix had riding time locked and picked up the win 4-2 to make the finals as a freshman.
Derek White methodically worked through a very stereotypical heavyweight match. Not a ton of action outside of two escapes and it goes into sudden victory overtime.
