Rutgers @ Indiana

Rutgers defeated Indiana 28-6 in Bloomington on January 10, 2025, handing the Scarlet Knights a 22-point dual meet win at Indiana University. The margin reflected a match in which Rutgers picked up key bonus points that Indiana could not answer.

At 149 pounds Andrew Clark delivered a 12-1 major decision over Matt Hart, supplying four team points and a momentum boost for Rutgers. Clark’s control and scoring gap produced the major decision that widened the Knights’ scoring cushion and was one of the higher-impact outcomes of the night.

The decisive blow came at 174 pounds when Jackson Turley pinned Derek Gilcher. The fall added six team points to Rutgers’ total and served as a clear turning point in the dual. Those two bonus-point performances accounted for 10 points of Rutgers’ total and were instrumental in separating the teams on the scoreboard.

Beyond the two standout bouts, Rutgers collected enough additional victories to close at 28 team points while Indiana finished with 6. The combination of a major decision from Clark and Turley’s fall made the difference in this Big Ten dual in Bloomington, leaving Rutgers with a convincing road result and Indiana searching for answers from the middle of the lineup.
