Bloomsburg @ Sacred Heart

Bloomsburg defeated Sacred Heart 23-17 in Fairfield, CT on February 1, 2025. The dual came down to bonus-point production, with Bloomsburg’s collection of major and technical-fall victories providing the margin in a tight road match.

The visitors got a big boost at 141 where Kade Kluce cut loose on Ryan Dal Pizzol, winning 15-0 by technical fall for five team points. Sacred Heart answered with its own bonus outcome at 149 when Andrew Fallon turned in a 22-6 technical fall over Nik Voros, keeping the contest close. Bloomsburg swung momentum back with Trenton Harder’s 10-1 major decision at 165, a four-point victory, and then Nick Foster delivered a 17-2 technical fall at 174 for another five points.

That middle stretch — Harder’s major followed immediately by Foster’s technical fall — produced the decisive run of bonus points after the 149 tech fall and proved to be the turning point. Bloomsburg’s three bonus wins contrasted with Sacred Heart’s lone bonus, and those extra team points were the difference in the 23-17 final. The dual featured several dominant individual performances, but it was Bloomsburg’s ability to convert matches into bonus points that sealed the outcome in Fairfield.
