Brown @ George Mason

George Mason topped Brown 24-18 in Fairfax, Virginia on February 9, 2025, pulling out a close dual at George Mason University. The Rams accumulated enough bonus points to separate themselves from the Ivy visitors and hold off a late Brown response.

The decisive stretch came in the middle weights. Kaden Cassidy’s 12-0 major decision at 149 produced four team points, DJ McGee followed with a 17-2 technical fall at 157 for five more, and Evan Maag’s fall at 165 added six team points. That collection of bonus-point victories supplied the bulk of George Mason’s scoring and gave the Rams the margin they needed.

Brown kept the match close with its own high-value finishes. Giuseppe Iamunno recorded a fall at 141 for six team points, and heavyweight Alex Semenenko closed with a pin at 285, another six-point swing that nearly erased the deficit. Those pins underscored Brown’s late fight but ultimately did not overcome the Rams’ bonus scoring in the middle of the lineup.

In the end George Mason’s combination of a major, a technical fall, and a pin proved decisive, producing the extra team points that made the difference in a 24-18 final. The match came down to those bonus-point outcomes rather than a single tight decision.
