Sophomore Cody McAninch started the Bears off on the right foot in both matches. Against Drexel, he won an 8-3 decision over Niccolo Becattini and then had a major decision win over TeShaun Johnson to begin the Campbell dual.
Seniors Casey Cruz and Gabe Burak also won both bouts. Cruz won a 6-3 decision over Drexel's Frank Cimato, who is ranked #20 this week by Intermat and won a 6-5 decision against Jordan Tolbert.
Burak, ranked 11th by Intermat, had a pair of bonus point wins for the Bears. He posted a tech fall over Anson Worrell in 5:16 (23-11) and then a major decision win against Nick Rex, 11-0.
Those three were the only victors against the Dragons, but freshman Jesse Meis pinned Grabiel Soto in 1:23 at 125 pounds and sophomore Sam Bauer won a 6-0 decision over Tanner Bidelspach at 133 pounds for the nightcap team win.
The Bears take a break for the holiday season, returning to the mat on Jan. 6 at Northern Iowa in the Western Wrestling Conference opener.
