Bethelhem, Pa. — The Sharks a tough challenge as they took on the #17 ranked Arizona State Sun Devils on Saturday. The Sharks suffered their first loss of the season, falling 38-3. Despite the overall defeat, there were some positive takeaways from the match.
 
The lone winner for Long Island University was 157-pounder Brayden Roberts, who earned a hard-fought 2-0 decision over Arizona State starter Michael Kilic. Roberts' victory was a bright spot in an otherwise challenging matchup.
 
At 125 pounds, Robbie Sagaris battled hard against Richard Figueroa, the defending National Champion. Sagaris ultimately fell to Figueroa by a score of 6-1, but it was a competitive showing against one of the best wrestlers in the country. These individual performances, particularly from Roberts and Sagaris, demonstrated the Sharks' resilience and potential moving forward.
 
While the team came up short, the experience gained against a top-tier program like Arizona State will undoubtedly help them grow and improve throughout the rest of the season.
