MADISON, Wis. – Army West Point wrestling opened the 2026-27 dual season in resounding fashion on Monday night, winning each of its opening five bouts and claiming three bonus point wins, for a 25-12 team win over Big Ten foe Wisconsin at UW Field House.
The win is the first over a power conference opponent under Class of 1972 Head Men's Wrestling Coach Troy Nickerson, and the first for Army since defeating Purdue on November 17, 2024.
The opening two bouts saw two Army freshman make their career dual debuts. At 125 lbs, Cadell Lee secured takedowns in the first and second periods, surviving a third period takedown given up to win by decision, 8-4.
Joseph Uhorchuk would follow with a one-sided 11-0 major decision at 133 lbs over Peter Tomazevic, with takedown points in each of the three periods.
In the ensuing match at 141 lbs, Braden Basile recorded three takedowns in the first period, setting the tone for a dominant 18-3 technical fall, capped off by a stall point and takedown for Basile in the third period.
Looking to continue the momentum at 149 lbs, Mason Barvitskie recorded a quick first period takedown, before a Carson Exferd reversal and stall point would tie the match in the second. However, Barvitskie collected a war chest of riding time and an escape point to hold Exferd off for a 5-3 decision, stretching Army's dual lead to 15-0.
The fifth bout of the evening saw Joe Antonio continue the theme of fast starts for Army, with a first period takedown. After Matthew Jens got within a point in the second period, Antonio pulled away with nine unanswered points, and just barely missed the tech fall with a 21-8 major decision at 157 lbs to give Army a commanding 19-0 lead in the dual.
Coming out of the intermission, Andrew Christie scored a takedown late in the opening period, but saw the match close to 3-2 after surrendering a second period reversal. After extending his lead to 4-2, Wisconsin would finally get on the board in the dual, with Cody Goebel securing the late takedown for a 5-4 win at 165 lbs.
Gunner Filipowicz followed in his first career match at 174 lbs, taking riding time and a 10-4 decision over Luke Condon to clinch the dual with three bouts left on the night.
At 184 lbs, Clayton Whiting collected the home team's second bout win of the evening, with a 12-2 major decision over Gage LaPlante, before Wisconsin's Wyatt Ingham took a win by technical fall over Reid Schroeder at 197 lbs.
Army however would get the final bout win of the night, in a matchup of ranked wrestlers, when No. 12 Brady Colbert took a 7-3 victory over No. 7 Braxton Amos, thanks to a strong third period and a takedown in the closing moments to both put the bout away and an exclamation mark on the dual.
