have the opportunity to score more points. Using total points before falls does not make sense to me.

And I just looked it up. Tie-breaker criteria from the link:

++++++++++++
When two teams finish in a tie in a dual meet or a team-advancement tournament, the following criteria shall be applied to determine a
winner:
3.15.1 Greater number of victories.
Note: Forfeits, defaults and disqualifications count toward total number of victories.
3.15.2 Combined total number of falls, forfeits, defaults and disqualifications.
3.15.3 Total match points scored only from decisions,
major decisions and technical falls.
3.15.4 Total near fall points scored only from decisions, major decisions and technical falls.
3.15.5 Total takedowns scored only from decisions, major decisions and technical falls.
3.15.6 Least number of unsportsmanlike conduct calls.
3.15.7 First takedown scored of the dual meet.
+++++++++

So unless TFs are not considered falls in 3.15.2, Wilson's TF broke the tie.
