WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The second-ranked SEU Wrestling team delivered another complete performance on Thursday night, rolling to a 38–9 road victory over Keiser in West Palm Beach. Winning eight of ten bouts and piling up six bonus-point results, the Fire showcased the depth, tempo, and national-caliber execution that continue to define their early-season form. With the win, SEU improves to 2–0 in Appalachian Athletic Conference duals, further strengthening its grip near the top of the AAC standings.
The dual opened at 184 pounds, where Keiser struck first behind No. 13 Sam Libby's fall over No. 15

Kasten Grape immediately answered with a dominant 19–1 technical fall over No. 19 Jett McCauley, leveling the score and flipping momentum firmly to the Fire.
