Mason wrestled just once on Saturday. Mason fell to Quinn Kinner of Rider University by a 4-1 decision in the championship match at 141- pounds despite dominating the riding time. The loss in the title match does not overshadow Mason's dominant performance through the MAC championships. Mason came into the tournament seeded eighth in his weight class and received a first-round bye. Wrestling on fresh legs, the redshirt junior turned a 6-2 deficit late in the third period into a win as he pinned #7 and top-seeded Dresden Simon at 6:30 in the quarterfinals. On Friday, Mason advanced to the championship match with a 5-3 decision over Gabe Willochell. The win in the semis also sealed Mason's trip to the NCAA Championships in two weeks. Mason's second-place finish is the highest of his career as he took seventh at 141 pounds in 2021.
