WASHINGTON - The tone was set early and American University wrestling followed through with seven individual victories in a solid, 25-13 dual win over Brown (1-8) in Bender Arena on Sunday. The Eagles (8-8) earned three bonus-point victories and finished the dual with a sudden-victory decision at heavyweight.

Notable

• American's eight wins matches the Eagles for the most dual victories in the last 12 years. AU has now recorded eight victories six times (2011-12, 2014-15, 2017-18, 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25) since going 14-7 in 2010-11.
• The Eagles still have five more chances to eclipse that eight-victory plateau, with upcoming duals against Bucknell, Virgina, George Mason, Penn State, and Morgan State.
• Coen Bainey started off the dual strong at 125, posting four takedowns and four near fall points for an 18-2 tech fall in 6:41 over Brown's Jared Brunner.

• Following Owen's performance, Jack Nies totaled three takedowns and four near fall points at 157 pounds, scoring eight points in the third period for a 15-2 major decision.
