**#9 Williamsville North/East 41 – HM Jamestown 33**
The Spartans collect their 5th and final ECIC I win of the season on the road against a scrappy Red Raiders squad. North received five forfeits and won only two head to head matches compared to six such wins for Jamestown, however availability is sometimes the best ability and such was the case for Willliamsville on Thursday. Bonus points earned by Tanner Catrabone with a tech fall and a pin by Max Smith certainly helped in the winning effort. North has to hope for a Frontier win over Lancaster on Wednesday in order to get a share of the league title.
