Oster, the 2009 national champion at 125 pounds lost his chance to score back-to-back national titles after falling in the semifinals to top-ranked Clayton Rush of Coe by a 10-3 decision. Oster bounced back from the loss to defeat Buena Vista's Austin Mogg 9-6 in the consolation semifinals. He blanked Augsburg's Joshua Roberts 7-0 in the third-place match. 

Oster advanced to the semis by defeating fifth-seeded Terrance Clendenin of Delaware Valley 8-6 in the quarterfinals of 125 pounds. Oster scored a pair of wins by pinfall to open the tournament. He pinned Mt. Union's Riki Reynolds in 4:27 in the first match of the day. In the second round, Oster made short work of UW-Stevens Point's Joe Mileski, pinning the sophomore just 38 seconds into the second round. 

Curran (32-9) earned the first All-America distinction of his career by placing eighth at 149 pounds. 

After dropping his opening round match 9-8 to Luther's Jason Pyle in the final 15 seconds, Curran bounced back to score back-to-back wins in the consolation round and clinch All-America honors.

Corsello and Schmidt wrestled to a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation forcing the match into extra time. Schmidt scored a take down in the first overtime to earn the 3-1 victory. Corsello, a two-time all-American and national runner-up in 2009, suffered a 7-5 loss to seventh-seeded Mitch Sander of Coe in the consolation bracket.
