February 06, 2026 | Wrestling

WEST POINT N.Y. – Army West Point wrestling will recognize 14 firstie cadet-athlete wrestlers Saturday night, in between the Black Knights' duals vs. Hofstra and LIU.

Army will take on Hofstra at 6:30 p.m. at Christl Arena, with the senior night ceremony to follow before returning to the mat vs. LIU, tentatively slated for 8:00 p.m. Both matchups Saturday night matchup will stream on FloWresling.

Army enters the weekend with Black Knights being named EIWA Wrestler of the Week in back-to-back weeks. Brady Colbert most recently won the accolade after claiming victory over Lehigh's Nathan Taylor at 285 lbs, ranked No. 5 in the Intermat Poll. Colbert—himself at No. 17 in Intermat at the time of the match—held a 4-1 lead in the final period and put any doubt aside in the closing moments with a late takedown and riding time point to win 8-1 on February 1.

One week earlier, Gunner Filipowicz won the conference honor after executing a Peterson maneuver on Bucknell's Noah Mullvaney, flipping the 165 lb Bison wrestler on his back after starting the period in the bottom position, and claiming a win by fall at the match's 3:23 mark on January 24.

The Black Knights also slated at No. 15 as a team in this week's NWCA Mid-Major rankings.
