SIU Edwardsville @ Central Michigan

Central Michigan defeated SIU Edwardsville 26-6 on February 16, 2025, at Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. The Chippewas built a comfortable margin and finished with a 20-point victory in the conference dual.

The decisive moment came at 174 pounds, where Alex Cramer of Central Michigan ran away with a 15-0 technical fall over Luke Odom of SIU Edwardsville. That technical fall was worth five team points and was the only bonus-point victory highlighted for the meet, giving Central Michigan a clear scoring swing that SIUE could not overcome.

Beyond Cramer’s dominant performance, the final score indicates Central Michigan collected enough team points across the lineup to keep SIUE at bay. With the lone listed bonus win coming at 174, that result stands out as the match’s turning point; a tech fall of that margin not only racks up points but can shift match-to-match momentum in a dual.

Central Michigan leaves Mt. Pleasant with the win, while SIU Edwardsville will look to regroup after a road test in the MAC. The tech fall by Cramer will be the headline takeaway from this dual, and it underscored how a single bonus victory can decide a dual when team scoring is tight.
