TRENTON, N.J. — The final day featured a two-team race to be named the 2025 Mid-American Conference Champion and the Lock Haven men’s wrestling team prevailed to bring home its third team title in four seasons.

Anthony Noto, Wyatt Henson and Montoursville graduate Gavin Hoffman brought home individual titles and a total of four wrestlers punched their tickets to the 2025 NCAA Division I National Championships in Philadelphia on March 20-22.

The Bald Eagles won their third team title in four years, dating back to the 2022 season.

Lock Haven dominated the afternoon and was the only school to score over 120 points as they finished with 121.5 team points. Central Michigan (113) finished second and Edinboro took third (97.5).

No. 1 seeds Noto (133) and Henson (141) and No. 2 seed Hoffman (285) soared to individual championships at their respective weight classes with a combined 11-0 record. Avery Bassett will join the trio of champions at the NCAA DI Wrestling Championships after punching his ticket to Philadelphia with a third-place finish at 174 pounds.

The top seed at 133 pounds, Noto soared to his fourth straight MAC individual title with a perfect 3-0 record, including one tech fall and one major decision.
