Indiana @ California Baptist

Indiana knocked off California Baptist 34-4 in Riverside on Nov. 1, 2024, at California Baptist University, cruising to a 30-point victory in the dual meet. The final margin reflected a handful of bonus-point outcomes that tilted the score heavily in favor of the Hoosiers.

Indiana collected three bonus wins that made the difference. Jacob Moran earned a 14-3 major decision at 125 pounds for four team points, Anthony Bahl recorded a fall at 149 for six points, and Gabe Sollars closed with a fall at 197 for another six. California Baptist’s lone bonus came from Elijah Griffin, who scored a 16-7 major decision at 141 to pick up four points for the hosts.

The decisive stretch was Indiana’s collection of bonus-point victories, which supplied 16 of the team’s 34 points and created a margin California Baptist could not overcome. Those pins and the major decision gave Indiana the extra scoring gap beyond close decisions and effectively put the dual out of reach.

Indiana’s ability to convert opportunities into bonus points proved the difference, while California Baptist’s Griffin was the biggest individual bright spot for the hosts. The 34-4 final score reflected Indiana’s depth in producing high-value results when it mattered most.
