WASHINGTON - The George Mason wrestling team came up a little short in the Turkey Tussle, as the American Eagles beat the Patriots (4-3) for the first time in three years, 21-15.

After the match began with the 141-pound weight class AU 4-2 decision, the Patriots built a 12-3 lead with three straight wins. Kaden Cassidy earned a 15-0 tech fall, his third of the season, against the Eagles Gage Owen at 149 pounds. Redshirt freshman DJ McGee remained unbeaten (9-0) edging Jack Nies, 7-6. At 165 pounds, Evan Maag won by major decision, his fifth bonus-points match this season.
