Navy @ American

Navy defeated American University 34-3 in Washington, D.C. on January 24, 2026, cruising to a 31-point victory in the EIWA dual. The margin was largely driven by a string of bonus-point results across the middle weights that American could not match.

The biggest single swing came at 174 where #9 Danny Wask finished Liam Packer by fall, supplying six crucial team points. That was followed by a dominant 16-0 technical fall from #32 Zyan Hall at 197, another bonus that widened the gap and essentially put the dual out of reach for the hosts.

Navy also picked up major decisions at 141 and 165. #27 Caedyn Ricciardi beat Raymond Lopez 17-5 by major decision, and #28 Dylan Elmore downed Austin Craft 12-1 by major. Those two majors added eight more team points and underscored Navy’s advantage in the featured matchups.

Ultimately the dual was decided by Navy’s ability to convert opportunities into bonus points. American managed just three team points, while Navy’s mix of a pin, a technical fall, and two majors accounted for the scoring surge that sealed the 34-3 final.
