Duke vs. Drexel Recap

Drexel Men's Wrestling topped Duke Men's Wrestling 37-4 in the dual on November 16, 2025, at an unspecified location. The Dragons rolled to a 33-point victory thanks to an abundance of bonus-point finishes that made the outcome lopsided on the scoreboard.

Drexel collected six bonus-point wins overall, and the margin was built largely on three technical falls that stood out. Kyle Waterman, ranked #32 at 133 pounds, dominated John King 19-4 by technical fall. Ethan Wilson, ranked #31 at 184, followed with an 18-2 technical fall over David Hussey, and Ibrahim Ameer added another 18-2 technical fall at 197. Those bonus results, combined with majors elsewhere, created a gap Duke could not close.

Deon Pleasant also recorded a technical fall at 125, and Drexel picked up major decisions in the middleweights to keep the team points multiplying. Duke’s lone bonus-point victory came at heavyweight when Connor Barket, the #20-ranked grappler, beat Nate Schon 11-2 by major decision, preventing a shutout but doing little to reverse the flow of the dual.

In short, Drexel’s spree of technical falls and a couple of majors supplied the decisive stretch of bonus scoring, while Duke’s only ranked winner answered too late to change the final score. The 37-4 result reflected Drexel converting several matches into maximum-team-point outcomes and running away with the dual.
