Rider @ Edinboro

Rider topped host Edinboro 25-13 in Edinboro, Pa., on February 14, 2025 in a MAC dual that came down to bonus points. Rider collected multiple bonus victories that proved decisive, while Edinboro’s two big wins kept the hosts within striking distance.

Rider’s run of bonus wins included Sammy Alvarez at 149, who beat Ryan Michaels 10-2 by major decision, and Michael Wilson at 174, who posted an 11-1 major decision. The momentum culminated when Brock Zurawski dominated at 197, delivering a 16-1 technical fall that swung maximum team points to Rider and created the margin they needed late in the dual.

Edinboro answered with two high-value results of its own. Anthony Ferraro scored a fall at 141 to earn six team points and keep Edinboro competitive, and at heavyweight Aden Roe downed Collin French 9-0 by major decision to add four more team points. Those bonus outcomes limited the gap, but were not enough to overcome Rider’s sequence of majors and the late technical fall.

In the end the bonus-point differential decided the meet. Rider’s three bonus victories combined for a heavy share of the team total, while Edinboro’s pin and heavyweight major narrowed the final margin to 12 points. The result gives Rider the win in this conference matchup and highlights how bonus scoring shaped the outcome.
