Jarvis Elam scored a takedown with 40 seconds left in the first round to score the first points in the 125-pound match. After entering the third period tied, 2-2, Elam escaped the hold of Kary Goff and scored a takedown to build a 5-2 lead. Elam allowed only another escape for Goff to give the Tigers a 3-0 team lead to start the dual.

At 133 pounds, Tim Thurston used three takedowns and a reversal to take down the Blue Raiders' Ethan Miller in an 8-3 decision. All three of Miller's points came as escape points.

Tommy Pretty, ranked seventh in the NAIA, scored the first extra points for the Tigers at 141 pounds with a 13-4 major decision over No. 11 Isaac Thomas. Pretty took a 7-2 lead in the first period before scoring a takedown and three more back points in the second period. Thomas scored his four points on reversals.

After Lindsey Wilson forfeited six points to the Tigers at 149 pounds, fifth-ranked Conor Young of CU scored a 5-0 upset over No. 2 Charles Pingleton. The NAIA Top 5 battle was scoreless in the first period before Young scored a takedown toward the end of the second period. He added an escape and takedown in the third period to avenge a November major decision loss to Pingleton.

Lindsey Wilson began to make the dual interesting with a James Haywood pin of Paul Gryniuk at 165. The six points were the first of the night for the Blue Raiders, cutting the Tigers lead to 19-6. Third-ranked Ian Stephens added to the Blue Raiders' tally with an 8-0 major decision over No. 6 Josh Ashbrook.

Allen Scruggs shut out rival Andrew Hairston in one of the more intense rivalries of the night to set up the Tigers' victory. Scruggs scored a takedown in the first period but neither grappler scored in a neutral second period. After Hairston chose to take top in the third period, Scruggs scored an escape and penalty point for a 4-0 decision. The win moved the rivalry to a 2-2 record after Scruggs defeated Hairston 2-1 in overtime at LWC last January before losing twice to the former CU Tiger at the NAIA East qualifier in February. Tuesday's dual was Hairston's first competition of the 2011-12 season.

Jamelle Jones, ranked No. 2at 197 pounds, clinched the dual with a pin over Aaron Edington in 1:06. The Tigers forfeited the 285-pound match.

Campbellsville takes a week and a half off before traveling to the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Ky., Jan. 28 for the Mid-South Conference Tournament. CU has won the last two MSC championships.
