Since Coach Stutzman has been at UB, Columbia has been a bit of a thorn in the Bulls’ side. However, the tide has turned and the Bulls dominated the Lions from start to finish by a team score of 32-3, with UB winning 9 of the 10 matches. This was the Bulls’ first win over Columbia since the 2000-2001 season. UB improved to 5-3 in dual meets on the season.
UB started with five straight victories from Kyle Akins, Bryan Lantry, Jason Estevez, Colt Cotten and Alex Smythe. Tyler Rill was the Bulls’ only loss at 165 pounds and even then it was in a thrilling 2-1 triple overtime decision to Tyrel White a two-time NCAA qualifier.
