A good night for the Bears only home match of the season. The highlight of the night was when Ben Goodfriend earned his 100th career victory with a pin in his third match against Washington Latin. He earned a standing ovation from the crowd. He now sits at 13th in career wins in Bear history. He is 17 away from the number one spot. We have one dual meet and 4 tournaments left. He has the potential to earn the number one spot by the end of the season.
