Lehigh @ Arizona State

Arizona State Men's Wrestling beat Lehigh Men's Wrestling 24-14 in Tempe, Arizona on February 24, 2024. The Sun Devils collected the bonus points that decided the dual and held a margin Lehigh could not overcome.

A key moment came at 149 pounds when Kyle Parco outclassed Drew Munch, finishing 15-0 by technical fall for five team points. That dominant result swung substantial roster scoring toward Arizona State and set up a gap Lehigh needed to erase. At 174 pounds Cael Valencia added four more team points with an 8-0 major decision, giving ASU nine bonus points across those two bouts.

Lehigh answered in the upper weights when Michael Beard delivered a 21-6 technical fall at 197, bringing five team points and narrowing the deficit. Beard’s bonus win provided a lift for the Mountain Hawks, but Arizona State’s earlier bonus-point surge proved the difference. The Sun Devils collected enough additional decisions to preserve a 10-point victory.

Ultimately the dual was decided by those bonus performances: Parco’s technical fall and Valencia’s major created the cushion, and Beard’s late tech fall made the final score respectable for Lehigh. Arizona State leaves Arizona with a 24-14 win, while Lehigh showed fight in the later matches but came up short on bonus-point production.
