Then, after Point Boro closed to within 25-12, sophomore Jordan Lavalle, who was 1-3 entering the night, helped make up for the absence of 2019 state qualifier Brady Carter , with a pin.
The Lavalle pin started a five-bout, 24-point run that increased the Lacey lead to 49-12 with two bouts remaining. Aidan Ott (126) erased an early 4-0 deficit to record an 11-5 decision and sophomore Matt Gauthier (132) clinched the match with four bouts left with a pin off a cradle.
