Navy @ Bucknell

Navy Men's Wrestling defeated Bucknell Men's Wrestling 27-9 at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA on January 31, 2025. The final 18-point margin reflected a match where Navy’s bonus-point work separated the squads and kept Bucknell from mounting a comeback.

The decisive moments came in two bonus wins that swung team scoring. At 125 pounds, Nick Treaster dominated Chris Nucifora 15-0, securing a technical fall and five team points. Shortly afterward, Josh Koderhandt put up a 15-1 major decision over Dylan Chappell at 141 pounds for four more team points. Those two matches combined for nine of Navy’s 27 points and were the clearest turning points in the dual.

Outside of those bouts the scoreline suggests Navy picked up enough additional decisions to build and protect a comfortable lead, while Bucknell was unable to generate the type of bonus results needed to close the gap. Navy’s ability to convert two high-margin victories into team points made the difference in Lewisburg, leaving Bucknell short of the offensive bursts required to flip the scoreboard.
