Hofstra @ Sacred Heart

Hofstra edged Sacred Heart 21-15 in Fairfield, CT on November 13, 2025, a dual that came down to bonus points and one big pin. The Pride collected two bonus victories that ultimately separated the teams, while Sacred Heart’s heavyweight fall kept the contest within reach.

Teague Strobel’s 17-1 technical fall at 125 pounds was the most dominant outcome of the night and delivered five team points for Hofstra. Strobel’s control and late surge on the mat turned a standard decision opportunity into a major scoring swing that mattered in the final tally.

At 184 pounds Matthew Waddell added a 15-6 major decision for four more Hofstra points, further widening the gap and making every remaining bout critical for Sacred Heart. Those two bonus results gave Hofstra the scoring cushion that they needed when the matchup tightened later on.

Brendan Gilchrist’s fall at 285 brought Sacred Heart six team points and injected life into the hosts’ comeback bid, but it was not enough to overcome Hofstra’s earlier bonus scoring. In the end Hofstra’s combination of a technical fall and a major decision proved decisive in a 21-15 finish, while Gilchrist’s pin was the standout moment that kept Sacred Heart competitive to the final whistle.
