Buffalo @ George Mason

George Mason Men's Wrestling defeated Buffalo Men's Wrestling 30-9 at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., on December 6, 2024 in a MAC dual meet. The Rams relied heavily on bonus-point wrestling to pull away, while Buffalo managed just nine points across the lineup.

The difference came in several decisive bonus victories. Charlie Bunting’s 19-3 technical fall at 133 pounds and Evan Maag’s 17-2 technical fall at 165 pounds each delivered five team points and set the tone for a dominant night. Kaden Cassidy added a 10-0 major decision at 149 pounds for four more team points, and James Blackman closed out the list of high-impact results with an 18-2 technical fall at heavyweight for another five points. Those bonus outcomes supplied the bulk of George Mason’s scoring.

A run of majors and technical falls left Buffalo with little room to respond, turning what might have been a close dual into a clear margin of victory. George Mason’s six bonus wins accounted for most of the 30 points, while Buffalo’s scoring came in scattered decisions elsewhere on the card. The 21-point final margin reflected a meet decided by bonus wrestling rather than a handful of narrow decisions.
