Army West Point @ American

Army picked up a 34-4 road win over American at American University in Washington, DC on Jan. 19, 2025. The margin was built on bonus-point finishes that kept American from mounting a comeback and put the dual out of reach.

The deciding moments came from Army’s aggressors. Charlie Farmer scored a fall at 125 pounds to supply six team points, and Jakob Gilfoil delivered another fall at 184 pounds for six more. Wolfgang Frable added a major decision at 197, cruising to a 17-4 victory that doubled as another bonus. Those three bonus outcomes gave Army a sizable cushion that American could not overcome.

American’s highlight came from Gage Owen at 149, who posted an 11-0 major decision to earn four team points and keep his side on the scoreboard. That result showed resilience in the mids, but it was the only bonus win for the hosts and did little to flip momentum after Army’s string of high-value wins.

In the end the dual was decided by Army’s ability to secure bonus points when it mattered, with two falls and a major creating a gap that forced the final 34-4 score. The win underscored Army’s depth across the lineup and left American searching for more bonus production to counter such an output.
