The final outcome would not be decided until the final match as USM rallied for a 23-21 win over the Tigers as Doane finished third in the pool. The Spires were open in three weight classes (101, 123, 130). Kalli Sutton had the team's quickest pin in the match at 1:00 in the 155 division. Sotomayor added a pin in the match.
