DeGain tied the match at one with an escape of his own early in the second period. The match went to overtime with a 1-1 score.
The two grapplers wrestled through a scoreless first minute of overtime before DeGain took his first lead of the match with an escape in the second extra stanza. Nail tied the match up at 2-2 with his own escape in the third overtime period. In the fourth and fifth overtime session, DeGain took control of the match recording a pair of escapes and a three-point near-fall for the 8-4 decision.
