Wrestling Defeats American on Senior Night

February 25, 2024 | Wrestling

WEST POINT, N.Y. – America's Team.
 
That's exactly how Army Black Knights Wrestling looked in Sunday's dual meet win over American. 
 
Army (7-4, 6-1 EIWA) won eight of the dual's 10 matches on its way to a 28-5 team victory. Four wins came via major decision, and the Black Knights cruised to 28 unanswered team points after dropping the first two matches by one point each. 
 
On a night dedicated to the program's firsties, the five seniors who wrestled in Sunday's matches all secured wins, with Logan Brown and Matthew Williams securing decisions, and Nate Lukez, Ben Pasiuk, and Dillion Sheehy winning by major decision. 
 
13 wrestlers and four managers were honored in the pre-match senior day ceremony. The Black Knights finish the regular season winners of six of their final seven dual meets.
