American (5-1) lost its first dual to the Tigers 22-15 after dropping six of 10 weights.

Fittery won his bout via a second-period fall while Sanjaa and Mitchell earned decisions.
The Eagles bounced back in their next dual with a 31-10 win over Stanford. American won seven bouts against the Cardinal with six Eagles earning bonus points. Fittery recorded his second fall of the day to highlight the victory while Kevin Tao, Mariacher, Sanjaa and Mitchell each won by major decision.
American continued to roll with a 27-10 victory over Bloomsburg which also included seven individual victories. Three Eagles earned bonus points including a third-period fall from Flores. Thomas Williams picked up a major decision for his first win of the day while Mitchell scored a technical fall for the Eagles.
American and Pittsburgh each won five weight classes in their matchup but bonus points earned by Sanjaa, Fittery and Graham proved to be the difference. Sanjaa scored American's fastest fall of the day when he pinned Dane Johnson just 43 seconds into their match and was followed by a technical fall from Fittery and a major decision by Graham. Mariacher also scored a big win for the Eagles, upsetting No. 3 Tyler Nauman 6-4.
The Eagles will return to action on Sunday, December 19 at 1:00 p.m. when they host Old Dominion at Bender Arena in their first home dual of the season.
