BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh men's wrestling held its annual Brown and White Intrasquad Thursday night inside Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall. Eight bouts were contested following a late scratch at 125 as the Mountain Hawks unofficially kicked off the 2025-26 campaign.
Â
Four of the eight bouts ended in bonus-point victories, beginning with the opening bout at 141, as senior Carter Bailey won a 22-1 technical fall over deferred first-year Seamus Mack. Bailey led 10-0 after two periods and leading by 13 late, took Mack to his back for seven points in the final seconds of the third period to secure the technical fall.
Â
At 149, sophomore Matt Repos made a first period takedown stand in a 5-2 decision over deferred first-year Jadon Skellenger.
Â
The first win for the White team came at 157 as sophomore Griffin Gonzalez edged graduate student Zac Martin 8-6. Martin escaped to take a 5-4 lead early in the third period before Gonzalez answered with the go-ahead takedown and added riding time as well.
Senior Max Brignola closed out the first half of the Intrasquad with a 22-7 technical fall over junior Owen Quinn at 165. Brignola scored seven takedowns, the final of which ended the match at the 5:27 mark.
There were three bouts at 174 Thursday night. Sophomore Richie Grungo started things with a 17-5 major decision over sophomore Liam Gil-Swiger. Grungo totaled five takedowns in his victory.
Â
Deferred first-year Dom Federici scored takedowns in each of the first two periods to defeat true first-year Duncan Christensen 6-3. Christensen scored two escapes and then rode out the final period.
In his Grace Hall debut, deferred first-year Bekhruz Sadriddinov posted an impressive 19-4 technical fall over senior Keegan Gagnon. Sadriddinov totaled five first-period takedowns before scoring an escape and takedown in the second to end the match at 3:37.
Â
The final bout of the night went to graduate student JT Davis, who broke a 1-1 tie with a third period takedown plus riding time in a 5-1 decision over junior Remy Brancato-Roed.
Â
Lehigh will open the 2025-26 season at the Nov. 2 Princeton Open in New Jersey.
