Meadowdale pulled within 8 at 24-16 by taking three of the next four weights. A tight 8-7 win by Curt Tanaka at 126 pounds and a first round pin by Kody Carpenter at 132 pounds stretched the lead to 33-16 for the Thunderbirds. The Mavericks then grabbed three straight wins to close the gap to 33-32. The T-birds would not be denied, winning at 160 pounds and closing the regular season with a pin by Hendrik Wirthwein at 170 pounds.
