WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Bucknell wrestling team fell at Army West Point, 26-8, on Sunday at Christl Arena.

The Black Knights (2-1, 2-1 EIWA) sealed their victory by winning the final four bouts. For the Bison (0-3, 0-1 EIWA), No. 7 Zach Hartman (165) continued his winning ways by scoring a commanding 15-0 technical fall while Brandon Seidman (125) opened the dual with a hard-fought decision.

Seidman held off Ryan Chauvin's comeback bid to post a 6-5 decision. Hartman's 15-0 technical fall over Owen Brown cut Bucknell's deficit to 13-8 with four bouts remaining; the junior secured his technical fall with a takedown at the third-period buzzer.

The first three bouts were all decided by two or fewer points. After Seidman's tight victory, Mark Montgomery upset No. 13 Darren Miller (133), 6-4, by scoring four unanswered points in the third period. Lane Peters then clipped Kurt Phipps (141) by flipping a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 advantage during the third period.

Freshman Nick Delp (157) gave No. 17 Markus Hartman a battle but ultimately ceded a 9-4 decision. Army West Point's other ranked grappler won by a major decision.

The Black Knights were ranked 22nd in last week's NWCA Coaches Poll; they fell out of the rankings after their 23-10 loss to Binghamton on Jan. 23.

The Bison next host American and Binghamton on Sunday, Feb. 7. The two duals will be held in Davis Gym, and the Bison will honor their seniors before their dual with the Eagles.
