Bucknell vs Lehigh

Lehigh topped Bucknell 29-13 at Davis Gym in Lewisburg, PA on February 7, 2025, handing the Bison a 16-point loss in the EIWA dual. The margin was built on a string of bonus-point victories from Lehigh and a handful of decisive individual performances that separated the squads.

Lehigh picked up the most damaging bonus work: Malyke Hines hammered Aiden Davis 19-4 by technical fall, Michael Beard closed out Dillon Bechtold 21-6 by technical fall, and Owen Trephan scored a 21-8 major decision over Logan Shephard. Those three bonus wins supplied the bulk of Lehigh’s 29 points and created the cushion the Mountain Hawks needed across multiple weights.

Bucknell countered with two high-impact outings of its own. Dylan Chappell delivered a fall over Seamus Mack to earn six team points, and Noah Mulvaney turned in a 13-4 major decision against Richie Grungo. Those results kept Bucknell competitive on the scoreboard but were not enough to overcome Lehigh’s depth in bonus scoring.

In the end the match was decided by Lehigh’s ability to convert opportunities into extra-team points. Bucknell’s bonus performances were highlights for the home team, yet Lehigh’s trio of bonus wins ultimately put the dual out of reach and sealed the 29-13 victory.
