A win is a win, but for the Buffalo wrestling team, some wins mean more than others.
On Jan. 22, the Bulls (8-7, 1-4 Mid-American Conference) defeated the No. 21 team in the country, Old Dominion (4-8, 0-3 MAC), 19-17. While it was the team’s eighth victory of the 2015-16 season, it was a win that provided Buffalo with its first conference victory in more than three years and its first win over a ranked opponent since a victory over No. 12 Nebraska in 2010.
While head coach John Stutzman treated the win as just another day at the office, it also serves as an indictor that Buffalo’s development and progression may finally be translating into wins on the mat.
