Pittsburgh @ Buffalo

Pittsburgh defeated Buffalo 33-6 in Buffalo, NY on November 8, 2025, handing the Bulls a heavy conference loss in the dual meet. The Panthers piled up bonus points throughout the line, which proved to be the deciding factor in a match that never tightened up.

The turning stretch came with a string of high-scoring wins that pushed Pittsburgh well out of reach. Mac Stout, ranked No. 5 at 197 pounds, dominated with a 19-2 technical fall that swung the team score emphatically. That performance was followed by Dayton Pitzer, No. 13 at heavyweight, who closed out his bout with a 15-0 technical fall, turning a close contest into a route.

Pittsburgh also collected bonus points at the lighter weights. Tyler Chappell ran up a 17-1 technical fall at 125 pounds, and Evan Tallmadge added a 16-1 technical fall at 133. Luca Augustine, ranked No. 15 at 174, gave Buffalo a fight but fell 11-2 by major decision, one of the few non-bonus losses for the Panthers. Those four bonus-point results, plus Augustine’s major, accounted for the bulk of Pittsburgh’s scoring and left Buffalo with limited answers.

In the end the Panthers’ ability to finish matches and collect tech falls and a major decision created the 27-point margin. Buffalo will be looking to shore up gaps across several classes, while Pittsburgh leaves Buffalo with a decisive road win.
