Emily Appleman was the second SU boxer to take center stage, as she faced-off against Betty Walker, fighting for PSU. Appleman started slowly in the first round, but mounted a comeback in the second and third rounds to take the decision victory.

Jake Bradley, fighting in the 144-pound division, also fought a back-and-forth fight against Nate Fox, from Mansfield. Bradley was able to pick his shots in the first two rounds, but landed several hard punches in the third to take the victory.

The streak continued for SU with a Pat Hill win. Hill, fighting at 145 pounds faced-off against a 139 pounder from PSU, Chris Strauss. Hill used his reach to land punches from the outside while holding off the attack from the PSU boxer.

In the main event of the night, SU boxer James Kashmere entered the ring against Will Morrill. Morrill is the president of PSU’s boxing club and was able to use his height and reach against Kashmere.
