CSU Bakersfield vs. NC State

NC State Men’s Wrestling defeated CSU Bakersfield Men’s Wrestling 43-3 on January 18, 2026. The Wolfpack’s mix of bonus-point victories and a handful of ranked wins produced the lopsided outcome against the Roadrunners.

What decided the dual was a run of bonus-point finishes from the middle and upper weights. #11 Ryan Jack cruised to a 20-4 technical fall at 141, and #7 Koy Buesgens followed with a 23-6 technical fall at 149. #5 Matty Singleton added a major decision, beating Guillermo Escobedo 12-2 at 174 to pile on the team points. At the top end, #2 Isaac Trumble closed the dual with a fall at 285, turning a big lead into an insurmountable margin.

The technical falls and majors removed any chance of a comeback; Trumble’s pin provided the final punctuation, and NC State collected multiple bonus-point wins across the lineup. Zach Redding’s 14-6 major at 133 and Patrick Brophy’s 18-2 technical fall at 197 were further examples of the Wolfpack converting ranked matchups into maximum team value.

CSU Bakersfield managed just three team points as NC State’s depth and finishing ability carried the day. The result left NC State with a dominant 40-point victory over the Pac-12 program, highlighted by several decisive wins by ranked wrestlers and multiple pins and technical falls.
