Army Secures the Star Dual in Thriller at Navy

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The fate of Army West Point wrestling hung in the balance of a single bout.
But when everything was all said and done, the Black Knights left Friday night’s rivalry match with a 19-18 win over the Navy Midshipmen.
Everything fell into place in the waning moments of the dual for Army to sing second. With its back against the wall just minutes earlier, the Black Knights had an opening to finish the Star Dual on top after trailing in the team score by as much as five points after bout eight.
With the final result squarely down to Brady Colbert and his counterpart Spencer Lanosga—both top 16 wrestlers in both the InterMat and FloWrestling rankings—the pair of 285 lb wrestlers were engaged to the last second.
Friday night’s victor would need the smallest edge to pull ahead in the dual, and the same rung true in the final bout. Fortunately for Colbert, that edge was earned in the penultimate period with a two-minute ride.
With the riding time point secured, Colbert simply had to let the clock expire without conceding points, and he did just that, regrouping at a timeout with 17 ticks on the clock before finishing the job for Army. Winning 2-0, the sophomore clinched a one-point dual win for the Black Knights. 
Army completes the dual season with a 5-5 overall record and a 5-1 mark in EIWA matches. Friday’s win was the program’s third straight over Navy, its second in a row in Annapolis, and its eighth over the past 12 years for Army over its academy rivals.
For Army, the dual got off to the best start imaginable, when Charlie Farmer secured a fall over Navy’s Andrew Binni just 37 seconds into the bout to give the Black Knights an early 6-0 lead. Ethan Berginc followed at 133 lbs with a full second period … more at … https://goarmywestpoint.com/news/2026/2/20/wrestling-secures-the-star-dual-in-thriller-at-navy
