Derek Spann followed with a 16-0 tech fall at 133. A four-point near fall, his third of the match, gave him the tech fall at the end of the first period.
Ben Freeman (141) and Long Island-native John Arceri (149) followed with decisions to up the lead to 14-0. Hunter Shaut, back in the lineup after starting the last two duals, won again with an 8-2 decision.
At 165, Noah Grover nearly pinned Blake Bahna but had to settle for the 10-1 major decision.
Pete Acciardi got an escape and earned a takedown in the final minute of the match to pull out a 3-2 decision over James Langan at 184.
Toby Cahill capped the scoring with a 5-2 decision over Tim Nagosky at heavyweight.
"Not a bad outing," head coach John Stutzman said. "We had some really solid performances starting with TD [Tristan Daugherty] at 125 and finishing with Toby [Cahill] at 285."
The Bulls will stay on Long Island and wrestle at Hofstra tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm.
