In the first match against Brown, the Bears jumped out to a 12-0 behind an opening forfeit at 125 pounds for Greg Einfrank, a 13-6 decision by Cortlandt Choate over junior Jeff Rotella at 133 and a 3-1 decision by Steve DeLorenzo over Pride freshman Luke Vaith at 141.

But red-shirt freshman Tyler Banks started a Hofstra run of three straight wins with a 6-0 victory over Phil Marano at 149 pounds to close the deficit to 12-3. The Pride's 19^th-ranked 157-pounder Jonny Bonilla-Bowman recorded a 12-6 victory over Brian Tracy and sophomore P.J. Gillespie brought the Pride to within two at 12-10 with a 13-4 major decision over Gabriel Brotzman at 165 pounds. It was Gillespie's 20th victory of the season.

Brown's Jeff Lemmer gave the Bears some breathing room with a 10-4 decision over senior Jon Rothman at 174 pounds to boost the lead to five but Hofstra sophomore Ben Clymer won his third straight match and closed the deficit to two with a 2-0 win over Bran Crudden at 184 pounds. Brown senior Branden Stearns edged Pride senior Anthony Tortora, 3-2, at 197 pounds to give the Bears an 18-13 lead heading into the final match of the contest at 285 pounds. Hofstra red-shirt freshman Paul Snyder needed a tech fall over Larry Otsuka to tie or a pin to win the match. Snyder dominated but Otsuka held off the Pride aggressor as Hofstra had to settle for an 11-3 major decision that preserved the Brown victory.

In the nightcap against Harvard, the visitors from Massachusetts took the first two matches as Chadwick Eason took a forfeit win at 125 and freshman Stephen Keith notched a 12-2 major decision over the Pride's Jeff Rotella (1-10) at 133 pounds for a 10-0 lead. Luke Vaith and Tyler Banks brought the Pride back with wins as Vaith (7-9) edged Tony Buxton, 4-2, at 141, and Banks (8-10) won his second of the day with a 6-2 decision over freshman Nick Brazeau at 149 to close the deficit to 10-6.

In the featured match of the contest, Harvard's top-ranked J.P. O'Connor topped Hofstra's 19^th-ranked senior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman (6-3), 6-1 at 157 pounds to bump the lead to 13-6. The Crimson added to the lead at 165 when Michael Sadler tagged Pride red-shirt freshman Ryan Colmer (0-2) with a 13-6 victory. Hofstra sophomore P.J. Gillespie (21-8), who moved up one weight class to 174 for the match, posted a 12-4 major decision over Bryan Panzano to bring the Pride to within six at 16-10.

But Harvard's 10^th-ranked senior Louis Caputo's 9-1 major decision win over the Pride's Anthony Tortora (4-12) at 184 pounds doubled up the Pride at 20-10. With the Crimson forfeiting the 285-pound match, the contest came down to the 197-pound bout between Hofstra sophomore Ben Clymer, who went up one weight class, and Harvard's Sean Murphy. Clymer (15-4) jumped out to an 8-0 lead with riding time after two periods. But Murphy prevented the Pride's tech fall bid as Clymer had to settle for a 13-0 major decision. The Crimson forfeit allowed the Pride to tie the match at 20-20.

Hofstra returns to action next Saturday, January 16 when the Pride face Sacred Heart, George Mason, Boston University and Old Dominion at the CAA Duals in Fairfax, Virginia.
