While there weren't any head-to-head upsets throughout the dual, it was how the two teams matched up that propelled #7-St. Paris Graham over #2-Blair. 

Blair and SPG split 7-7, but the ultimate factor was the matches where Graham was able to collect much needed bonus points to come out on top. Falls from Mitch and Brent Moore late in dual were huge as the Falcons claimed four of the last five matches.

From the start, the Falcons were already making some line-up moves as they bumped top-ranked 160-pounder Alex Marinelli up to 170 to face Brandon Dallavia where he put Graham out front with 15-6 major decision after a nail-bitter at 160 between Ryan Karoly and Garrett Jordan.

The Buccaneers got their own share of bonus points at 195 and heavyweight from Chase Singletary and Neil Putnam. But in the end, it came down to the match-ups and the key bonus points that helped Graham claim the upset over Blair.
