• Head coach Mike LoPresti used four different lineups in the four matchups.
• Despite LIU sending the Burgundy and Blue packing in last year's NEC tournament opening round, FDU has now won three of the last five matchups against the Sharks.
• Baker scoring continues to be the Knights' sweet spot this season with FDU racking up 10 Baker total pinfall wins through the first two team-scored events of the season, including the first day of the conference fall meet.
• The biggest game of the day for the Burgundy and Blue would come in the final contest of the afternoon when FDU toppled the Dukes 236-195 in the third game. FDU would go on to win the match 1086-863.
