In the first two seasons, Eppert helped guide the Patriots to back-to-back nine-win seasons, including a 9-7 mark in 2018-19, their best season in 11 years. Mason finished the season with a winning dual record for the first time since the 2007-08 season.

The Patriots finished third at the 2019 Eastern Wrestling League Championships with 56.5 points, the highest finish in the EWL Championships in program history.  Six Mason wrestlers reached the evening session, with four in the championship match and two competing in third-place matches. 

Mason redshirt senior Tejon Anthony claimed the first EWL title in program history, winning the championship at 149 pounds, while redshirt senior Matthew Voss placed second at 285 pounds, redshirt sophomore Eli Spencer placed second at 197 pounds and freshman Kolby Ho placed second at 157 pounds.

The Patriots had three wrestlers qualify for the 2019 NCAA Championships for the second straight year, with Voss (285), Anthony (149) and redshirt junior Colston DiBlasi (165) representing Mason at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pa.
