With 38 seconds remaining, the redshirt sophomore came up clutch with a takedown and held his positioning on top to come away with the 6-4 upset victory. In the Huskies 25-13 win against No. 21 Grand Valley State, Ducato came away with his second win of the day as he defeated Jak Keller by score of 5-1. Keller had opened the year ranked No. 12 at 133. In his final match of the day, Ducato faced off against No. 15 Nate Knowlton of RV Findlay. With the score tied 1-1 in overtime, Ducato came up clutch with a late takedown to secure the 4-1 decision.
