Army (1-1-1) started the day by tying No. 17 Maryland, 19-19, before falling to No. 15 Edinboro, 34-7. The Black Knights defeated Findlay, 38-6, to wrap up the meet.
Against Maryland, junior Michael Sprigg picked up a 6-5 decision over Pat Gilmore at 285 in the match's final bout to earn the tie. Maryland jumped out to a 10-0 lead after the first three bouts, but Army would bounce back with victories in the four of the next five bouts to take a 16-13 lead. Kyler fell behind, 5-0, in his bout with Eric Medina, but turned the tables with a second-period pin at 149. Senior Brian Rowan earned a 2-1 decision at 157, junior Ryan Mergen notched a major decision at 174 and sophomore Garrett Hunter took a decision at 184 to lead the Army comeback.
Edinboro proved to be too much for the Black Knights as Kyler, who compiled a 10-0 major decision over Torsten Gillespie, and junior Richard Starks, who held on for a 3-2 decision over Patrick Bradshaw, were the lone winners for Army.
The Black Knights got things back on track against Findlay, jumping out to a 21-0 lead through the first four bouts and winning eight of the 10 decisions in the match.
Army will return to action next weekend at the Oklahoma Gold Classic, hosted by SUNY Brockport on Saturday, Nov. 8.
