    Army West Point takes down Bucknell

    LEWISBURG, Pa. -- As they head down the final stretch of the regular season, the Army West Point wrestling team scored a 29-7 dual match win against EIWA foe Bucknell on Sunday.

    The Black Knights (9-3, 3-1 EIWA) won eight of their 10 matches against the Bison (9-6, 8-3 EIWA), including three bonus point victories.

    With the dual beginning at 184 pounds, Noah Stewart was able to set the tempo from the start. The Lewistown, Pa. native scored a fall victory at the buzzer of the second period to give the Black Knights an early 6-0 lead.

    After Bucknell was able to get on the board with a decision win at 197, Army rattled off wins in the next four matches to take control of the dual.

    In the heavyweight bout, Bobby Heald won a 4-1 decision over Brandon Stokes. At 125 pounds, Trey Chalifoux scored early and throughout, as he earned a 15-3 major decision over Geo Barzona.

    The 133 and 141 pound contents were tight affairs from start to finish. Andrew Wert Jr. (3-2 dec.) and Logan Brown (8-7 dec.) both were able to hang on to one-point wins to make it 19-3 in the team score after six matches.

    Matthew Kolonia won Bucknell's second match at 149 pounds -- a 15-3 major decision over Noah Hanau.

    The dual clincher for Army came at 157 pounds, with Markus Hartman winning an 8-2 decision. In a battle between two nationally ranked wrestlers at 165 pounds, Cael McCormick battled Zach Hartman for three periods, earning a 2-1 decision.
