How It Happened
Junior Mougalian had a stellar 4-0 showing to earn his first collegiate title, recording pins over Hofstra's Gauge Shipp (5:24) and Edinboro's Amonn Ohl (1:32). In the semifinal, he defeated Lock Haven's Gabe Strickland by major decision, 9-1. Mougalian then capped his run with an 11-4 victory against 2024 NCAA All-American #8 Dylan Shawver in the 133-pound final.
 
Sophomore Wasilewski improved to 10-0 this season by winning five matches: over Michigan State's Clayton Jones III by technical fall (15-0), Edinboro's Dominic Ferraro (20-2), Drexel's Patrick Kelly  (9-1), Virginia Tech's Collin Gaj  (2-1), and Rutgers' Andrew Clark  (5-1) to secure his second title of the season at 149 pounds.
 
#11 Swisher made his season debut at Keystone, earning victories over Hofstra's Frank Volpe (15-0), Harvard's Wyatt Hepner (16-1), Rutgers' Max Hermes (15-2), Central Michigan's Mason Shrader (7-4), and familiar foe from the Crimson, Jimmy Harrington (1:59) to start his junior year on high.
 
Junior Seefeldt had a point prove entering his first Keystone Classic grappling at 165, topping F&M's Tyler Fromm (22-7), Virgina Tech's Mac Church (5-2), Harvard's Joseph Cangro (11-1), and the Hokies' #12 Ryan Burton in extra periods (2-1 TB2) to cap off strong finals run for the Red and Blue.
 
Up Next
