The Diplomats improved to 1-0 on the year after their opening dual-meet competition, while the Wildcats fell to 2-5.
F&M notched bonus points in four matches, beginning with Jose Diaz's 12-4 major at 125. The freshman grappler recorded three takedowns in the first period to roll to his first-career dual victory. A Davidson major at 133 tied the team score at 4-4, but it was all F&M from there as Paddy Quinlan's commanding 14-1 major at 141 began a string of eight straight Diplomat wins.
Cole Aaron led by a 12-2 score at 149 before his pin at 4:32 put F&M ahead at 14-4. Emmett LiCastri (157) and Jacob Conners (165) followed with 5-2, and 7-4 decisions, respectively, before freshman Chris Bolletino's 6-4 decision at 174 sealed the match for good.
Anthony Mancini took a 4-2 lead after the first period at 184 pounds with a takedown and near fall to hold on for a 5-2 decision. Philip Robilotto (197 pounds) registered the Diplomats second pin of the afternoon by turning his opponent at 4:38 and Antonio Pelusi (285 pounds) put the exclamation point on an F&M victory with a takedown in sudden victory for the 3-1 decision.
