February 16, 2025 | Wrestling

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point Wrestling accomplished its mission. 
 
The Black Knights won seven of the 10 bouts Sunday evening at Christl Arena to secure a 22-10 dual win over Navy, and sung second.
 
Army improved to 7-3 in 2024-25 dual matches, and 4-2 against EIWA opponents. The Black Knights won the wrestling Star for the second season in a row. Class of 1972 Head Coach Kevin Ward improved to 7-4 against the Midshipmen across his West Point tenure. 
 
In the Star Series presented by USAA, the Black Knights take an 11-8 lead, after Women's and Men's Basketball split decision in Annapolis Saturday.

Charles Farmer opened the dual with a tone-setting, 14-2 major decision at 125 lbs. In the following bout at 133 lbs, Ethan Berginc secured a late takedown to extend his individual match winning streak over Navy with a 5-0 decision, to give Army an early 7-0 dual lead. 
 
At 149 lbs, Trae McDaniel pulled ahead in the bout's final moments to win by decision. 
 
Coming out of the mid-dual intermission with a 10-7 team lead, Gunner Filipowicz displayed a full-period ride and scored an escape to win at 165 lbs, 2-0.
