In the opener against Mid-American Conference opponent Edinboro, the Bulls relied on their horses to defeat the Fighting Scots, 25-13. Derek Spann got UB on the board with a 19-0 technical fall over Tye Varndell. It was Spann's sixth tech fall of the season.
Marcus Robinson followed with a 12-3 major decision over Nate Hagan at 141 to extend the Buffalo lead to 9-4.

Gannon entered today as one of the top Division II programs in the country, ranking 10th in the nation. The Knights have seven wrestlers ranked in the Top 20 in the national rankings.
It was a repeat performance for Spann against Gannon as the redshirt-junior once again won by tech fall, defeating Andrew Ischo, 17-0. Spann now has seven tech fall wins in 11 duals this season.
Buffalo followed with four straight wins to extend its lead to 18-4. Robinson (9-5), Arceri (6-3), Petite (7-3) all won by decision and Keller (10-0) won by major decision.
