March 17-19, 2016 • New York, N.Y. • Madison Square Garden (18,200) 

Television: ESPN and ESPNU • Live Video: ESPN3.com • Live Stats: NCAA.com 

EIWA Champions — 1910, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1922, 1923, 1926, 1930, 1958, 1992, 1993, 

2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 

STORY LINES: 

• Years of hard work and dedication, coupled with a rare in-state opportunity to compete for national championships, will all come together 

when the Big Red’s contingent of nine wrestlers heads to Madison Square Garden for the three-day event beginning on Thursday, March 17. 

• Cornell won an unprecedented 10th consecutive EIWA title and its 14th-straight Ivy League crown earlier this spring and will attempt 

to claim its first team championship. 

• Cornell enters the tournament with a pair of wrestlers seeded No. 1 in their weight class - three-time All-American Nahshon Garrett at 

133 pounds and 2015 national champion Gabe Dean at 184 pounds. 

• Garrett, the 2014 NCAA runner-up at 125 pounds, became the 10th wrestler and fourth Cornellian to claim four EIWA crowns and now 

looks to add a first national title. 

• Three-time EIWA champion Dean will have a chance to join him next year, but in the meantime will look to become Cornell’s fourth 

two-time national champion (joining Dave Auble, Travis Lee and Kyle Dake). 

• Junior Brian Realbuto, the national runner-up a season ago at 157 pounds, is the No. 2 seed at 174 pounds after posting a 33-3 record 

this season and winning an EIWA title at 174 pounds. 

• Also collecting a top five seed is junior Dylan Palacio (No. 5 at 157), who fresh of his first EIWA title, will be looking to earn All-America 

honors for the first time. 

• Cornell will also have five unseeded wrestlers who will have a chance to climb through the field. 

• Seniors Duke Pickett (165) and Owen Scott (197) and freshmen Dalton Macri (125), Joey Galasso (149) and Jeramy Sweany (285) have each 

been ranked nationally during the season and are all, with the exception of Pickett, ready to step on the big stage for the first time in March. 

• Pickett is a two-time NCAA qualifier and 2016 EIWA runner-up who will be looking for his first NCAA win after making an appearance 

at nationals a year ago. 

CORNELL NCAA NOTES 

• The Big Red’s nine NCAA qualifiers were 136-10 (.932) against wrestlers who did not advance to the championship meet this season. 

• It is the third time in program history Cornell has had a pair of No. 1 seeds at the same tournament (Kyle Dake at 141 and Mack Lewnes 

at 174 in 2010; Cam Simaz at 197 and Kyle Dake at 157 in 2012). 

• Cornell has three wrestlers seeded in the top two in their weight class from the second straight year (No. 1 Gabe Dean at 184, No. 2 

Brian Realbuto at 157 and Nahshon Garrett at 133 in 2015) and the third time in school history (No. 1 Mack Lewnes at 174 and Kyle Dake 

at 141, No. 2 Troy Nickerson at 125 in 2010). 

• It is just the sixth time in program history Cornell has had four wrestlers seeded in the top five (1958, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2015). 

• Cornell has placed in the top five at the NCAA championships in six of the last seven seasons and in the top 10 in 11 of the last 13 years 

(eight straight). 

• Cornell will be sending a school-record tying nine NCAA qualifiers to New York City, matching a record set in 2005 and since matched 

in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2015. 

• The Big Red has had at least one individual NCAA champion in seven of the last eight years and at least one finalist in eight straight 

campaigns. 

• The Big Red has had 12 different wrestlers win a combined 17 NCAA titles. Kyle Dake is one of three wrestlers to claim four national 

crowns (doing it in four different weight classes), while Dave Auble and Travis Lee won two titles each. 

• Cornell is one of just eight schools to qualify at least nine wrestlers for the championships, trailing only Nebraska, Oklahoma State and 

Rutgers with 10 apiece. Joining the Big Red with nine qualifiers is Iowa, Lehigh, Missouri and Penn State. 

• Cornell has had 37 wrestlers earn a total of 72 All-America honors, including 52 total All-Americans since 2002. 

• Since Rob Koll took over prior to the 1993-94 campaign, Cornell has had 152 NCAA qualifiers, 52 All-Americans and 12 national 

champions. In the first 63 seasons of the NCAA tournament, the Big Red program had 82 total NCAA qualifiers, 16 All-Americans and 

five national champions. 

• Cornell wrestlers have won at least 20 total matches in eight straight NCAA tournaments and 12 of the last 13. 

• The Big Red has qualified at least half its lineup in 17 of the last 18 seasons and 15 in a row. 

• Cornell has scored at least 50 team points in 12 of the last 13 NCAA tournaments, finishing no lower than 12th in any campaign.

SOUTHERN SCUFFLE: 

• Junior Gabe Dean became the ninth three-time Scuffle champion and senior Nahshon Garrett won 

his second title as the Cornell wrestling team finished fourth in a loaded 2016 Defense Soap & Flips 

Wrestling Southern Scuffle field. 

• Cornell finished the two-day tournament with four wrestlers on the podium and 98.5 points to finish 

behind only Penn State (183), Oklahoma State (158) and Lehigh (104.5). 

• Dean swept through an all-EIWA semifinals, defeating Navy’s Matthew Miller 10-5 in the semis and 

Nathaniel Brown of Lehigh 8-2 in the finals. 

• During the tournament he became the 23rd Big Red wrestler to 100 wins (104-5). 

• The victory over Brown was a rematch of last season’s NCAA and EIWA championship matches. 

• Garrett, the No. 1-ranked wrestler at 133 pounds was even more dominant, earning bonus points in 

each match en route to the title. 

• He busted out quickly in the finals against Penn State’s Jordan Conaway, majoring him 14-4 for the crown. 

• That came after earlier in the day taking an injury default win over Kaid Brock of Oklahoma State after 

dominating the first 90 seconds. 

• He took a tech fall victory over Minnesota’s Sam Brancale in the quarterfinals after earning a fall and 

a tech fall in victories on day one. 

• Also finishing on the podium were junior Brian Realbuto at 174 pounds and 165-pounder Duke Pickett, 

both of whom finished sixth. 

LAS VEGAS INVITATIONAL: 

• Senior Nahshon Garrett became the fifth person to claim three Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational titles 

to start the night, upsetting the No. 1 ranked wrestler at 133 pounds to lead three Cornell champions as 

the Big Red finished second as a team. 

• Juniors Brian Realbuto (174) and Gabe Dean (184) capped the night with dominant efforts in the finals 

as five Big Red wrestlers reached the podium at one of the nation’s premier events. 

• Garrett remained unbeaten since his move up to 133 pounds by knocking off undefeated defending 

national champion Corey Brewer of Oklahoma, the event’s top seed. 

• He rallied from an early 7-2 deficit for an impressive 14-9 victory to claim his third title, joining four-time 

champion Logan Stieber (Ohio State, 2011-14) and fellow three-time champions Ben Askren (Missouri, 

2004-06), Andrew Howe (Oklahoma/Wisconsin, 2009-10, 13) and fellow Big Red great Mack Lewnes 

(Cornell, 2008-10). 

• Dean will have a chance to join Garrett on that list a year from now after earning his second crown with 

a dominant 15-6 major decision victory over 12th-ranked Dominic Abounader of Michigan. 

• Rounding out the championship performances was a dominant 11-1 finals win by Realbuto over No. 

15 Bryce Hammond of Cal-Bakersfield. 

• Missouri won the team title with 154 points with Cornell settling in as the runner-up with 113 points. 

• Cornell won the 2010 title and has now finished in the top six in each of the last eight seasons and five 

times in the top three. 

• The Big Red has won 17 individual titles dating back to 2004, including at least two in three straight years. 

GRAPPLE AT THE GARDEN: 

• The Cornell wrestling team got into early holes in both dual matches and couldn’t make up enough 

ground late as the Big Red dropped a 21-14 decision to No. 5 Nebraska and a 21-13 contest to No. 14 

Rutgers on Nov. 29, 2015 at the Grapple at the Garden in Madison Square Garden. 

• Cornell’s three returning All-Americans, the staples of the Big Red lineup, each went 2-0 on the day with 

Nahshon Garrett topping a pair of nationally ranked wrestlers at 133. 

• Garrett earned an 11-3 major decision victory over Nebraska’s 10th-ranked Eric Montoya and captured 

a 6-1 decision over No. 17 Anthony Giraldo of Rutgers. 

• No. 2 Brian Realbuto topped Nebraska’s 15th-ranked 174-pounder 9-6 and defeated Phil Bakuckas of 

Rutgers 6-1. 

• Top-ranked Gabe Dean had an 11-3 major decision over Nebraska’s seventh-ranked T.J. Dudley and 

overcame a slow start to major Nicholas Gravina of Rutgers, 13-5. 

• Freshman heavyweight Jeramy Sweany had an outstanding effort in a 5-2 win over No. 13 Collin Jensen 

in the first dual before a closer-than-the-final-score 8-1 loss to No. 7 Billy Smith of Rutgers. 

THE BIG RED AT THE NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS: 

• Cornell pinned its way to a fourth consecutive New York State Wrestling title, easily securing the title by 

winning five individual titles and cruising past second place Army 202-171 at Barton Hall. 

• Binghamton (133.5), Buffalo (136) and Columbia (123.5) rounded out the top five teams. 

• Nahshon Garrett (133), Dylan Realbuto (141), Duke Pickett (165), Brian Realbuto (174) and Gabe Dean 

(184) all won titles, two more Big Red wrestlers reached the finals (Dalton Macri medically forfeited to 

second at 125; Will Koll lost to teammate Dylan Realbuto in a one-point decision in the finals) and the other 

three reached the semifinals, with Jeramy Sweany medically forfeiting out the rest of the tournament after 

winning his first two matches at heavyweight by fall.

• Winning by fall became a theme on the day, as the Big Red won 15 matches by pin in the 

championship bracket, where its 10 scoring wrestlers posted a cumulative 35-4 record with 26 

bonus point victories. 

DAKE ‘13 CLAIMS SENIOR NATIONAL FREESTYLE CHAMPIONSHIP: 

• Needing to finish in the top seven at his weight class to qualify for the Olympic Trials, Kyle Dake 

did that and more in Las Vegas, Nev., on Dec. 19. 

• At a new weight, Dake battled his way to the 2015 U.S. Senior Freestyle National championship 

by defeating rival David Taylor in the finals, 11-4. 

• Entering the tournament as the No. 7 seed, Dake nearly won by tech fall in the first 30 seconds 

against Taylor with an opening takedown before rolling him three times to expose Taylor’s back 

for two points each to gain an 8-0 lead, but Taylor reversed to cut the lead to 8-2. 

• Taylor looked to be getting back into the match after earning a takedown to make it 8-4, but 

Dake reversed him and rolled him again to make it 11-4 at the end of one. 

• Dake defended throughout the second period with no points being scored. 

• He moved to 7-0 all-time against Taylor in collegiate and international competition. 

• Dake, who was underseeded largely due to his recent move to the 86kg from 74kg, topped Titan 

Mercury Wrestling Club teammate Tyrel Todd by fall 1:53 into his first match. 

• In the quarterfinals, Dake controlled the match against Titan teammate Keith Gavin, the No. 2 

seed in the tournament, en route to a 6-2 win by decision. 

• Dake won a nailbiter in the semifinals against No. 3 seed Jon Reader, earning the first two takedowns 

of the match to build a 4-0 lead on his way to a 6-4 triumph to reach the finals. 

NEXT UP: 

• With the season complete, Cornell will begin defense of its 14 straight Ivy League and 10 consecutive 

EIWA titles when practice begins in the fall.

Are Cornell Wrestlers on Scholarship? 

The easy answer is no. Cornell student-athletes are 

awarded need-based financial aid, just as any other 

student who applies to the school. That package can 

come in the form of student loans and grants. The basic 

intent of the original Ivy League agreement of 1954 

was to improve and foster intercollegiate athletics while 

keeping the emphasis on such competition in harmony 

with the educational purpose of the institutions. The Ivy 

League is nationally recognized for its level of success 

— absent of athletic scholarships — while rigorously 

maintaining its self-imposed high academic standards. 

The Ivy League has demonstrated a rare willingness and 

ability, given the current national pressures on intercollegiate 

success, to abide by these rules and still compete 

successfully in Division I athletics. 

Practice Interviews/Coverage 

All interviews with Coach Rob Koll and players must 

be requested in advance through the Athletic Communications 

Office. The coach and players are available 

for interviews before practices by appointment only, so 

as not to interfere with academic or practice schedules. 

Postgame Interviews 

Coach Rob Koll and selected players will be available 

after each match. The Big Red locker room is closed. 

Radio 

All of the Big Red’s games in 2015-16 are carried live on 

1160 ESPN Radio in the Ithaca area and on the internet 

at www.ESPNIthaca.com. Keith Raad takes over for his 

first season in the play-by-play chair. 

Ivy League Digital Network 

You can watch live or on-demand video in High Definition 

of Cornell’s home wrestling dual matches and road 

Ivy League matches when available with a subscription 

to the Ivy League Digital Network. Cornell also 

broadcasts home games for football, volleyball, sprint 

football, men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey, men’s 

and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s ice hockey, 

men’s and women’s lacrosse, baseball and softball. For 

more information, visit http://www.IvyLeagueDigitalNetwork.com 

Social Media 

You can follow the team on YouTube, Facebook and 

Twitter. Highlights, interviews and features on all 37 of 

Cornell’s varsity sports can be found at www.youtube.

Match 3: #14 Rutgers 21, #7 Cornell 13 

Nov. 29, 2015 * Madison Square Garden (New York, N.Y.) 

• Rutgers won four of the first six matches and never looked back, topping 

the Big Red 21-13 at the Grapple at the Garden in New York City. 

• Cornell’s muderer’s row of Nahshon Garrett (133), Brian Realbuto 

(174) and Gabe Dean (184) all remained unbeaten on the season. 

• Dean overcame a slow start for a 13-5 major decision win over 

Nicholas Gravina, while Garrett dominated a 6-1 decision over No. 17 

Anthony Giraldo. 

125: Sean McCabe (R) won by decision over #18 Dalton Macri (C), 7-5

Match 4: #4 Missouri 18, #14 Cornell 17 

Jan. 10, 2016 * Jesse Hall Auditorium (Columbia, Mo.) 

• After Brian Realbuto won a toss-up decision at 174 pounds to give 

Cornell a 12-10 lead with three matches, two favoring the Big Red 

on paper, Missouri had to put its trust in its upper weights to keep its 

34-match dual meet win streak alive. 

• That trust was well-placed - barely. 

• Both teams won five matches, but No. 4 Missouri won a pair of bonus 

point matches and that was the difference in an 18-17 victory over No. 

14 Cornell at Jesse Hall Auditorium. 

• With nearly its full lineup for the first time all season, the Big Red 

announced that it will be a factor in the national title race before it’s 

all over. 

• The Big Red won two-of-three matchups between nationally ranked 

wrestlers, but it was Missouri’s decision to avoid a fourth that likely 

allowed it to end the day with a victory. 

• Heading into what was expected to be a spotlight matchup between 

No. 1 Gabe Dean and No. 4 Willie Miklus at 184 pounds, the Tigers 

pulled their ranked wrestler in favor of brother Tim Miklus. Dean 

dominated the match with an 18-1 technical fall to push Cornell’s lead 

to 17-10 heading into the final two matches. 

• Missouri tactically moved Willie Miklus up to 197 pounds, while 

second-ranked J’den Cox at 197 moved to heavyweight with both 

wrestling unranked competitors. 

• Needing at least one bonus point to tie and two to win, the strategy 

nearly backfired, as Jake Taylor gave Willie Miklus all he could handle. 

• Taylor led 7-6 heading into the third period against his highly-ranked 

opponent, but Miklus was able to prevail thanks to a stall call in the 

final minute. 

• Trailing 17-13, the dual came down to Cox’s matchup with rising Big 

Red heavyweight Jeramy Sweany. 

• Cox rode a boisterous crowd in the auditorium to the tech fall victory 

and the win despite a valiant late effort to earn an escape point, which 

would have allowed the team score to finish tied 17-17. 

125: Dalton Macri (C) won by decision over #8 Barlow McGhee (M), 7-6 

133: #1 Nahshon Garrett (C) won by decision over #11 Zach Synon (M), 12-5

Match 5: #16 Cornell 31, Harvard 14 

Jan. 15, 2016 * Friedman Wrestling Center (Ithaca, N.Y.) 

• Harvard had thoughts of ending Cornell’s 68-match Ivy League win 

streak — momentary, fleeting thoughts. 

• The Big Red ripped off wins in the final five matches, four accompanied 

with bonus points, as the home team cruised to a 31-14 victory 

over the Crimson at the Friedman Wrestling Center. 

• Cornell overcame a forfeit at 133 with a pair of falls in the final 20 

March 17-19, 2016 • Page 25



seconds of matches and five total bonus point victories. 

• Missing three regular starters, the Big Red used a big second half 

after trailing the Crimson 14-9 through five matches. 

• Dalton Macri (125) and Gabe Dean (184), looking for extra bonus 

points on the way to tech falls, each earned pins late to pick up the 

extra important team point. 

125: Dalton Macri (C) won by fall over Nolan Hellickson (H), 6:45 

133: Jeffrey Ott (H) won by forfeit 

141: #7 Todd Preston (H) won by decision over Mark Grey (C), 2-0 

149: Joey Galasso (C) won by decision over Patrick Hogan (H), 8-2 

157: Tyler Tarsi (H) won by technical fall over Kyle Simaz (C), 20-3 

165: Chris Dowdy (C) won by major decision over Peter Bearse (H), 12-3 

174: #7 Brian Realbuto (C) won by technical fall over Josef Johnson (H), 16-0 

184: #1 Gabe Dean (C) won by fall over Michael Mocco (H), 6:43 

197: Owen Scott (C) won by major decision over Josh Popple (H), 15-2 

285: Jeramy Sweany (C) won by decision over Nicholas Gajdzik (H), 5-2 

Match 6: #16 Cornell 30, Brown 13 


• For the second day in a row, the bottom of Cornell’s lineup came up 

big and the Big Red extended its Ivy League win streak to 14 years 

with a 30-13 victory over Brown at the Friedman Wrestling Center. 

• Cornell won its 70th straight against Ivy League opponents, but it 

wasn’t a walk in the park. 

• A Cornell forfeit at 133, a major decision win by Justin Staudenmayer 

of Brown at 157 and a tight 11-7 victory by Jon Viruet at 165 gave the 

Bears a 13-10 win after six matches. 

• Just like the previous night against Harvard, Cornell took control over 

the next three matches, all decided by bonue points, and earned a forfeit 

win at heavyweight for the final margin. 

• For the second straight day, junior Gabe Dean picked up six big team 

points with a pin, squaring Austin Pfarr’s shoulders to the mat 2:35 

into the first period. 

• That came right after seventh-ranked Brian Realbuto fell just short 

of a tech fall win over Andrew LaBrie at 174 (19-5) and before Owen 

Scott put the match away with an 8-0 shutout of Augustus Marker at 

197. 

125: Dalton Macri (C) won by major decision over Michael Russo (B), 18-6 

133: Zeke Salvo (B) won by forfeit 

141: Dylan Realbuto (C) won by decision over Charlie Banaszak (B), 10-3

197: Owen Scott (C) won by major decision over Augustus Marker (B), 8-0 

285: Jeramy Sweany (C) won by forfeit 

Match 7: #6 Lehigh 25, #15 Cornell 13 


• Sixth-ranked Lehigh took advantage of the absence of Cornell’s two 

top-ranked wrestlers and snapped the Big Red’s 47-match EIWA win 

streak with a 25-13 win at the Friedman Wrestling Center. 

• Lehigh earned 11 team points between a forfeit at 133 due to a Nahshon 

Garrett injury and a technical fall win at 184 after Cornell used 

John Jay Chavez, a 165-pounder, instead of undefeated Gabe Dean 

against No. 3 Nathaniel Brown. 

• Despite the loss, Cornell pulled a pair of upsets and lost another tossup 

match by a single point. 

• Junior Brian Realbuto, who has been ranked as high as No. 1 at 174 

this season, earned a dominant major decision victory over Elliott Riddick 

at 174 for Cornell’s lone bonus point victory of the day, while both 

Duke Pickett (165) and Owen Scott (197) earned wins over ranked 

wrestlers. 

125: #14 Darian Cruz (L) won by major decision over Dalton Maci (C), 12-3 

133: Mason Beckman (L) won by forfeit 

141: #18 Randy Cruz (L) won by decision over Mark Grey (C), 4-0

197: Owen Scott (C) won by decision over #14 John Bolich (L), 3-1 (OT) 

285: #14 Max Wessell (L) won by major decision over Jeramy Sweany (C), 14-6 

Match 8: #15 Cornell 23, Columbia 15 

Feb. 6, 2016 * Friedman Wrestling Center (Ithaca, N.Y.) 

• With a match against No. 4 Oklahoma State looming on Sunday, the 

Cornell wrestling team made sure it wasn’t looking ahead and took 

care of business to remain atop the Ivy League standings, winnings its 

71st consecutive conference match with a 23-15 triumph over Columbia 

at the Friedman Wrestling Center. 

•Cornell forfeited at 125 and used four backups in the lineup, but a late 

rally by Owen Scott at 197 sealed the win for the Big Red. 

• The teams traded forfeits, with Cornell surrendering six points at 

125 and Columbia giving them back at 141, meaning the only match 

contestedi n the first three weights was top-ranked Nahshon Garrett’s 

18-3 technical fall win over 2014 first-team All-Ivy selection Angelo 

Amenta at 133. 

• Cornell never trailed in the dual after Mark Grey had his hand raised 

at 141, as senior Logan David earned a win on Senior Weekend with a 

4-3 triumph over Danny Reed at 149 to build the team lead to 14-6. 

• Duke Pickett and Brian Realbuto were dominant in decision wins at 

165 and 174 over strong Lion opponents, and Scott wrapped up the 

win by overcoming a 3-0 deficit thanks to a reversal, an escape, a third 

period takedown and a stalling call to earn the 6-3 victory. 

125: Britain Carter (Col) won by forfeit 

133: #1 Nahshon Garrett (Cor) won by technical fall over Angelo Amenta (Col), 18-3 

141: Mark Grey (Cor) won by forfeit

Match 9: #4 Oklahoma State 32, #15 Cornell 12 

Feb. 7, 2016 * Newman Arena (Ithaca, N.Y.) 

• Junior Dylan Palacio upset the No. 6 ranked wrestler at 157 pounds, 

but Oklahoma State’s strength was apparent in a 32-12 dual meet victory 

in front of 4,076 fans in Newman Arena. 

• Cornell surrendered six points off the bat after forfeiting at 125 and 

never got out of the hole, though senior Nahshon Garrett, wrestling 

his final match in front of the home fans, did his best to tie it up. 

• The senior took down 18th-ranked Gary Wayne Harding seconds into 

the match, tilted him three times for four points apiece and took a 

14-1 lead into the second period and earned the 17-1 tech fall. 

• Besides Garrett, Dylan Palacio used an 8-4 upset over previously unbeaten 

Joe Smith at 157 and Brian Realbuto majored Chandler Rogers 

at 174, 13-2. 

• Nolan Boyd pulled an upset over top-ranked and defending national 

champion Gabe Dean at 184 pounds, 14-9.

Match 10: #15 Cornell 21, Penn 9 

Feb. 13, 2016 * The Palestra (Philadelphia, Pa.) 

• Freshman Joey Galasso picked up a signature win in front of his 

hometown fans and the Cornell wrestling team set up an Ivy title 

match with Princeton by running through Penn 21-9 at the Palestra. 

• All three of Penn’s nationally ranked wrestlers were defeated, with 

Galasso’s victory over No. 12 C.J. Cobb at 149 pounds coming as the 

lone upset. 

• He rode a first period takedown to the victory in front of a loud, 

friendly gymn that was cheering the local native on. 

• He took a 3-2 lead into the the final seconds of the third and was able 

to defend a late shot and go behind to clinch the 5-2 victory. 

• Top-ranked Gabe Dean had yet another close match with rival and 

15th-ranked Lorenzo Thomas at 184, but a takedown in sudden victory 

handed him the 7-5 triumph. 

• Dean led 4-2 after one with a pair of takedowns, but Thomas was 

able to earn a pair of nearfall swipes to tie it up. 

• The two each earned escapes and neither was able to put together an 

effective shot over the final three minutes before Dean came out the 

back of a scramble in sudden victory to pick up his 108th career victory.

Match 11: #15 Cornell 23, Princeton 16 

Feb. 13, 2016 * Dillon Gymnasium (Princeton, N.J.) 

• If it was up to luck, the Cornell wrestling team’s 13th straight Ivy 

League title may have been the end of a dynasty. Instead, the Big Red 

celebrated a 14th consecutive unbeaten conference slate after running 

out to an early lead and knocking off Princeton at Dillon Gymnasium. 

• Senior Nahshon Garrett set the tone in the second match of the night 

with a second period pin of Noah Arjam and junior Brian Realbuto all 

but clinched the win with his tech fall victory at 174 over No. 16 Jon 

Schleifer. 

• Princeton won the final three matches of the night, including two 

with bonus points, to close strong after falling behind 23-3, but the 

team score was out of reach after Realbuto’s win. 

• In a battle of league unbeatens wrestling for the second time today, 

the Big Red didn’t wrestle top-ranked Gabe Dean at 184 pounds, instead 

resting the junior with the match already won. 

• It was the 30th straight triumph over the Tigers and also extended 

the program’s string of consecutive winning dual meet campaigns to 

30 dating back to the 1985-86 season.
