Quincy Monday, Blaine Bergey, Nate Dugan and Luke Stout were winners Friday night in the Princeton wrestling team's dual-match opener at Indiana, but early wins for the Hoosiers built a lead that was too much for the Tigers to overcome in a 22-13 Indiana win.

Indiana started with six points on a forfeit win at 125 for Jacob Moran, beginning what became a four-match win streak to build a 16-0 lead. A 12-4 major decision for Henry Porter at 133 followed over Princeton's Sean Pierson fueled by a pair of takedowns in each of the first two periods to put Porter ahead 9-3 after five minutes.

Indiana's No. 32-ranked Cayden Rooks held off Danny Coles at 141, rallying with two third-period takedowns to win 12-9 after Coles led 5-4 one period in and the wrestlers were tied 7-7 after two. Rooks' brother Graham Rooks turned in a 4-1 decision over Tiger rookie Rocco Camillaci at 149, holding Camillaci to a second-period escape while Rooks took the lead on a takedown in that period.

Monday, ranked No. 1 in the nation, got Princeton on the board with an 8-4 win over Derek Gilcher at 157, scoring two first-period takedowns and leading the rest of the way. Bergey followed that with a 3-2 win over Tyler Lillard at 165 to pull Princeton within 16-6, taking the lead on a first-period penalty point and adding an escape in each of the last two periods while Lillard had a point each on an escape and a penalty in the third. 

Rookie Kole Mulhauser, joining Camillaci in making his dual-match debut, came up just two points short against Indiana's No. 17-ranked Donnell Washington, who fell to Travis Stefanik at 184 in a wrestleback in last year's NCAA Championships. Washington led 2-1 after a period on a takedown before Mulhauser tied it with a second-period escape. Each had a third-period escape, but a takedown in the final frame for Washington was the difference.

Princeton got back-to-back wins from Dugan at 184 and No. 18-ranked Stout at 197 to pull within 19-13. Dugan had four takedowns during the match to win 12-4 while all four of opponent Drayton Harris's points came on escapes. Stout's win came on a sudden-victory takedown after he and Nick Willham were tied 1-1 after three periods with each getting a point on an escape.

In the final match of the night, Indiana's Jacob Kaminski was a 3-1 winner over Stefanik at heavyweight, getting a first-period takedown and leading the rest of the way.

Princeton will compete again at the Garden State Grapple at the Prudential Center in Newark on Dec. 4 against Michigan State and Wisconsin.
