You couldn’t ask for more drama out of an Army-Navy wrestling match. You couldn’t measure the disappointment among the partisan crowd at Alumni Hall when the Midshipmen lost in the most agonizing manner imaginable.
It came down to the final bout of the night and it was a baby-faced freshman with a losing record who came through big-time for Army by beating a seasoned senior.
Bobby Heald scored an escape with 20 seconds remaining in the third overtime to decision Austin Faunce, 2-1, in the heavyweight match as Army completed an improbable comeback and beat Navy, 18-15.
