Army opens its 2026-27 dual season Monday at Wisconsin, looking to build on a strong showing at the Princeton Open. The Black Knights will face a Big Ten opponent they lost to last season, then return home Nov. 15 to wrestle Air Force.

By the Numbers
  • Army lost to Wisconsin, 24-12, last season.
  • Army placed 11 wrestlers on the Princeton Open podium, including 3 finalists.
  • Brady Colbert is ranked No. 10 at 285 pounds by FloWrestling and No. 12 by InterMat.
Yes, But

Army went 5-5 in duals last season, but its 5-2 record against EIWA opponents shows it was more successful within its conference than against its full schedule.

State of Play
  • The dual starts at 7 p.m. ET Monday at UW Fieldhouse and will air on B1G+.
  • Gunner Filipowicz reached the Princeton Open final in his 174-pound debut; Lucas Stoddard and Joseph Uhorchuk also finished as finalists.
  • Army is ranked No. 29 in InterMat’s team dual rankings.
What’s Next

Army hosts service academy rival Air Force on Nov. 15 at Christl Arena for its first home dual of the season.

Bottom Line

Monday’s matchup is an early test of Army’s progress against a Big Ten opponent—and a chance to improve on last season’s 12-point loss.
