The Lancers were only a few points shy of a huge upset as they won four of 10 matches and saw two of its losses come by one point each. It was one of CBU's best-ever showings in the series with Stanford. Adam Velasquez, AJ Raya, Garrett Strang and Zach Schrader all won their matches for CBU.
Velasquez and Raya got the Lancers thinking upset right out of the gates, with decision wins in the first two matches at 141 and 149 pounds, respectively. Velasquez overcame a deficit twice to secure a 6-4 decision win over Luciano Arroyo.

Dilan Atjun (125), Jacob Cooper (174) and Arick Lopez (197) all put together competitive matchups but just came up short, with all three having their bouts decided by either riding time or a late point in the third period.
