Army West Point @ Bucknell

Army West Point defeated Bucknell 18-15 in a tight EIWA dual at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa., on January 28, 2024. The visiting Black Knights came away with the three-point margin in a match that was decided by one decisive bonus-point result.

The turning point came at 125 pounds, when Charlie Farmer pinned Owen Bell for a fall, earning six team points for Army. That pin was the meet’s bonus-point victory and proved crucial in the final scoreline; with the dual decided by three points, Farmer’s fall supplied the extra cushion Army needed. The rest of the lineup produced enough decisions to complement that bonus and hold off Bucknell over the course of the meeting.

The 18-15 final underscores how a single fall can swing a close dual. Army leaves Lewisburg with the win and Bucknell finishes with 15 team points, both teams knowing how much every bout matters in conference competition.
