Virginia @ Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech defeated Virginia 36-3 at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg on February 1, 2025, cruising to a 33-point victory in the ACC dual. The Hokies piled up bonus points across the lineup, leaving Virginia with only three team points on the night.

Eddie Ventresca at 125 produced a major decision, beating Keyveon Roller 8-0 and delivering four team points that helped build the margin. Caleb Henson’s 19-5 major decision at 149 was another emphatic result, adding four more bonus points and underlining Tech’s control in the middle weights.

The dual decisively flipped when Thomas Stewart Jr. pinned Hadyn Danals at 184, a six-point swing that made a comeback unlikely for Virginia. Jimmy Mullen’s fall at heavyweight over Gabe Christenson later put the result beyond doubt and finished off Virginia’s chances, the pair of pins accounting for a dozen team points that widened the gap substantially.

Virginia Tech’s accumulation of majors and falls was the difference; the Hokies converted multiple matches into bonus points while limiting Virginia to a lone non-bonus scoring effort. The 36-3 final margin reflected a night in which Tech’s bonus scoring was the clear determinant of the outcome.
