Mt. SAC Completes Three-Peat, Defeats Fresno City 22-13 in State Dual Championship

FRESNO, Calif. - Mt. San Antonio College Men's Wrestling captured their third straight title as they defeated the Fresno City College Rams, 22-13 in the 2025 3C2A State Dual Championship on Sunday, November 23rd. 

The Mounties earned their sixth state dual championship in program history and closed out the season with an undefeated record for the third consecutive year. 

It was a matchup between powerhouse programs, as the Mounties battled against an established Rams team that extended their streak of championship appearances to 10 and attempted to win their 15th championship. 

The two teams went back and forth all match, with both winning four bouts each to make it a 15-13 heading into the final two weight classes.

Ultimately, Mt. SAC was able to prevail as Cody South gave them four more points with a 17-3 major decision in the 197 pound weight class before Dib Sawaya closed the door with a 6-1 win in the heavy weight bout. 

The Mounties will enjoy the win but also have to prepare for the 3C2A State Championships from December 12-13 at Sierra College. The Rams hope to bounce back and pull off an upset at the tournament.
