Naperville Central improved to 2-2 on the year in the DVC after defeating WWS at Wheaton on Thursday. The injury bug hit the Tiger as they forfeited four of the 14 weight classes to the Redhawks.
The starting weight class was 182. Justin Tardy and Ryan Berg both picked up forfeits. Luke Roth scored two takedowns then cradled and pinned his opponent at 220.

The heavyweight won in the second period.

Ben Williamson battled to a 0-0 tie until late in the third period when his opponent scored an escape to win 0-1.
Andrew Cassioppi scored a reversal late in the first period to tie his score 2-2. After giving up an escape in the second period, he chose down and escaped to tie the score again in the third. Andrew battled for the key takedown midway through the third period on a high crotch - double and held on to win 5-4. Andrews efforts earned him the team's "I'm Somebody" award for the evening.
