ALBANY, NY - Friday was the toughest test yet for the University at Buffalo wrestling team as they faced off against two Top 25 programs at the ArmBar at the Armory in Albany, NY. The Bulls lost to #25 Illinois, 28-9 and #2 Iowa, 35-7, but the evening did include some highlights.

Against Illinois, Nick Stampolous earned the first pin of his career. The true freshman 157-pounder pinned Luke Odom early in the third period. It was Stampolous' second straight win of the early season.

Guiseppe Hoose continued his solid start to the season with a 4-3 decision over Dylan Connell. Hoose was able to get an escape early in the third period and held on for the one-point victory. With the win, he improved to 5-1 on the season.

Patrick Adams got the Bulls off to a great start against the second-ranked Hawkeyes. The redshirt-freshman earned his first college dual win in impressive fashion, with an 11-2 major decision over Charles Matthews.

Marcus Petite also earned points for the Bulls with a 2-0 decision over Joe Kelly. It was his second dual win of the season.

"This team is really close to making a jump," head coach John Stutzman said. "We scrapped hard against two of the best teams in the country. We had some good performances today and even though we came out on the wrong side of things, our young guys are gaining experience against the very best."

The Bulls are back in action on Sunday at the Black Knight Invite.
