Duke @ Stanford

Stanford Men's Wrestling Team beat Duke Men's Wrestling 35-10 in an ACC dual at Stanford University in Stanford, CA on January 9, 2026. The Cardinal piled up bonus points on their way to a convincing margin, while Duke’s lone bonus came in the middle of the card.

A key factor was Stanford’s string of bonus-point wins. Edwin Sierra dominated at 125 pounds, winning 19-4 by technical fall to collect five team points. At 133 pounds top-10 action ended quickly when #7 Tyler Knox pinned Riley Rowan, a six-point swing that swung the scoreboard sharply in Stanford’s favor.

Duke did notch a major decision when Dylan Ross posted a 14-1 major at 149 to add four points for the Blue Devils, but Stanford’s depth kept them firmly in control. #8 Daniel Cardenas put together another high-impact performance with a 17-2 technical fall at 157, and Abraham Wojcikiewicz’s 17-2 technical fall at 184 added yet another bonus for the Cardinal.

Angelo Posada, ranked #19 at 197, closed out one of the most decisive stretches with a 21-5 technical fall, helping Stanford reach the 35-point mark. In short, Stanford’s accumulation of falls and technical falls across multiple weight classes delivered the difference, while Duke’s resistance was limited to a few decisions and Ross’s major.
