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), 10-3 149: Joey

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)

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 149: Logan David (Cor) won by decision over Danny Reed (Col), 4-3

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. 125: #5 Eddie Klimara

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. 285: Jeramy Sweany (C) won by decision over Patrick Garren (P), 7-1 125: Dalton Macri (C) won by decision over Jeremy Schwartz (P), 12-5 133: #1 Nahshon Garrett (C) won by decision over Caleb Richardson (P), 9-3 141: Marc Mastropietro (P) won by decision over Mark Grey (C), 8-6 (sv1) 149: Joey Galasso (C) won by decision over #11 C.J.

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. 125: Dalton Macri (C) won by decision over Pat D’Arcy (P), 6-1 133: #1 Nahshon Garrett (C) won by fall over Noah Arjam (P), 3:48 141: Jordan Laster (P) won by decision over Mark Grey (C), 9-4 149: Joey Galasso (C) won by decision over Mike D’Angelo (P), 9-7 157: #7 Dylan Palacio (C) won by decision over Adam Krop (P), 6-4 165: #15 Duke Pickett (C) won by decision over Judd Ziegler (P), 10-5 174: #5 Brian Realbuto (C) won by technical fall over #16 Jon Schleifer (P), 17-0 184: Abe Ayala (P) won by major decision over Dillon Artiglieri (C), 15-4 197: #10 Brett Harner (P) won by decision over Owen Scott (C), 6-3 285: Ray O’Donnell (P) won by fall over Jeramy Sweany (C), 5:35 Cornell Big Red at 2016 NCAA Championship • Madison Square Garden (New York, N.Y.)
