It was an exciting Sunday at West Point with wrestling earning its first Star win over Navy and snapping a 17-match unbeaten streak against the Mids. Prior to the match, the men's basketball team topped American, while swimming and diving and indoor track competed at Patriot League Championships.
In front of over a 1,000 fans at Christl Arena, the wrestling team and first-year head coach Kevin Ward defeated Navy 21-10 to earn a Star. It was the first win over the Mids since the 1996-97 season. The team captains and firsties Chandler Smith and Hunter Wood, along with Ward showed great leadership during the match to help us prevail over the Mids.
The squads traded points until yearling David Farr broke a late tie in the heavyweight match and prevailed for a 3-2 victory to extend our lead to 12-6 and marked the first back-to-back wins for either team in the match. Plebe Sean Badua registered a 6-2 decision at 125 pounds to build our lead to 15-6 before Navy cut the lead to 15-10. Yearling Logan Everett came from behind to best Navy's Patrick Prada, 5-2, in the 141 bout to put us up 18-10 and clinch the win. In the final match of the evening, cow Javier Rodriguez posted a 9-4 decision at 149 to make the final score 21-10.
The men's basketball team used a 20-2 run surrounding halftime and rode cow Kevin Ferguson's career-high 23 points to a 72-63 victory over American on Sunday afternoon at Christl Arena. The Senior Day win helped us complete the season sweep of American. Ferguson also led Army with a career-best 12 rebounds for his fourth-career double-double as Army held a 35-27 rebounding advantage. The cow class also had Kyle Wilson score 17, Tanner Plomb pour in 15 and Dylan Cox finished with nine points for us. We reached 15 victories for the third consecutive year, marking the first time the Black Knights have had three straight 15-win campaigns since Bob Knight's teams each won at least 15 from 1967-70.
The men's swimming and diving team finished second at Patriot League Championships with a total of 642 points as we were led by cow Chris Szeleky. He set three Academy records over the three days at Bucknell and won individual titles in the 100 and 50 freestyle. The women's team finished their weekend in fifth with a total of 416 points. On the track, our men's squad ended up fifth with firstie Clyde Wilson leading the way with an individual win in the 800m run, which was his fifth straight victory in the event, dating back to his sophomore season. He bested his own Patriot League Championship meet record at 1:50.70. The time ranks fourth all-time on the Academy's list and it shattered the Brown Field House record as well. The women's team concluded the indoor season with a sixth-place finish at the league championships.
The women's basketball team's 11-game winning streak came to an end at American on Saturday as we dropped a 45-42 decision against the league leaders. We sit second in the league with two home games to go in the regular season. Men's lacrosse went up to Syracuse and battled the Orange for four quarters, but the No. 2/3 team in the nation came away with the 12-9 win. We are 3-1 entering league play this weekend and moved up to ninth in the country in the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Coaches' Poll. We have a busy week of athletics at West Point with women's basketball hosting Boston University on Wednesday night.
