SOUTHERN SCUFFLE:<br />
• Junior Gabe Dean became the ninth three-time Scuffle champion and senior Nahshon Garrett won<br />
his second title as the Cornell wrestling team finished fourth in a loaded 2016 Defense Soap & Flips<br />
Wrestling Southern Scuffle field.<br />
• Cornell finished the two-day tournament with four wrestlers on the podium and 98.5 points to finish<br />
behind only Penn State (183), Oklahoma State (158) and Lehigh (104.5).<br />
• Dean swept through an all-EIWA semifinals, defeating Navy’s Matthew Miller 10-5 in the semis and<br />
Nathaniel Brown of Lehigh 8-2 in the finals.<br />
• During the tournament he became the 23rd Big Red wrestler to 100 wins (104-5).<br />
• The victory over Brown was a rematch of last season’s <strong>NCAA</strong> and EIWA championship matches.<br />
• Garrett, the No. 1-ranked wrestler at 133 pounds was even more dominant, earning bonus points in<br />
each match en route to the title.<br />
• He busted out quickly in the finals against Penn State’s Jordan Conaway, majoring him 14-4 for the crown.<br />
• That came after earlier in the day taking an injury default win over Kaid Brock of Oklahoma State after<br />
dominating the first 90 seconds.<br />
• He took a tech fall victory over Minnesota’s Sam Brancale in the quarterfinals after earning a fall and<br />
a tech fall in victories on day one.<br />
• Also finishing on the podium were junior Brian Realbuto at 174 pounds and 165-pounder Duke Pickett,<br />
both of whom finished sixth.<br />
LAS VEGAS INVITATIONAL:<br />
• Senior Nahshon Garrett became the fifth person to claim three Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational titles<br />
to start the night, upsetting the No. 1 ranked wrestler at 133 pounds to lead three Cornell champions as<br />
the Big Red finished second as a team.<br />
• Juniors Brian Realbuto (174) and Gabe Dean (184) capped the night with dominant efforts in the finals<br />
as five Big Red wrestlers reached the podium at one of the nation’s premier events.<br />
• Garrett remained unbeaten since his move up to 133 pounds by knocking off undefeated defending<br />
national champion Corey Brewer of Oklahoma, the event’s top seed.<br />
• He rallied from an early 7-2 deficit for an impressive 14-9 victory to claim his third title, joining four-time<br />
champion Logan Stieber (Ohio State, 2011-14) and fellow three-time champions Ben Askren (Missouri,<br />
2004-06), Andrew Howe (Oklahoma/Wisconsin, 2009-10, 13) and fellow Big Red great Mack Lewnes<br />
(Cornell, 2008-10).<br />
• Dean will have a chance to join Garrett on that list a year from now after earning his second crown with<br />
a dominant 15-6 major decision victory over 12th-ranked Dominic Abounader of Michigan.<br />
• Rounding out the championship performances was a dominant 11-1 finals win by Realbuto over No.<br />
15 Bryce Hammond of Cal-Bakersfield.<br />
• Missouri won the team title with 154 points with Cornell settling in as the runner-up with 113 points.<br />
• Cornell won the 2010 title and has now finished in the top six in each of the last eight seasons and five<br />
times in the top three.<br />
• The Big Red has won 17 individual titles dating back to 2004, including at least two in three straight years.<br />
GRAPPLE AT THE GARDEN:<br />
• The Cornell wrestling team got into early holes in both dual matches and couldn’t make up enough<br />
ground late as the Big Red dropped a 21-14 decision to No. 5 Nebraska and a 21-13 contest to No. 14<br />
Rutgers on Nov. 29, 2015 at the Grapple at the Garden in Madison Square Garden.<br />
• Cornell’s three returning All-Americans, the staples of the Big Red lineup, each went 2-0 on the day with<br />
Nahshon Garrett topping a pair of nationally ranked wrestlers at 133.<br />
• Garrett earned an 11-3 major decision victory over Nebraska’s 10th-ranked Eric Montoya and captured<br />
a 6-1 decision over No. 17 Anthony Giraldo of Rutgers.<br />
• No. 2 Brian Realbuto topped Nebraska’s 15th-ranked 174-pounder 9-6 and defeated Phil Bakuckas of<br />
Rutgers 6-1.<br />
• Top-ranked Gabe Dean had an 11-3 major decision over Nebraska’s seventh-ranked T.J. Dudley and<br />
overcame a slow start to major Nicholas Gravina of Rutgers, 13-5.<br />
• Freshman heavyweight Jeramy Sweany had an outstanding effort in a 5-2 win over No. 13 Collin Jensen<br />
in the first dual before a closer-than-the-final-score 8-1 loss to No. 7 Billy Smith of Rutgers.<br />
THE BIG RED AT THE NEW YORK STATE <strong>CHAMPIONSHIPS</strong>:<br />
• Cornell pinned its way to a fourth consecutive New York State Wrestling title, easily securing the title by<br />
winning five individual titles and cruising past second place Army 202-171 at Barton Hall.<br />
• Binghamton (133.5), Buffalo (136) and Columbia (123.5) rounded out the top five teams.<br />
• Nahshon Garrett (133), Dylan Realbuto (141), Duke Pickett (165), Brian Realbuto (174) and Gabe Dean<br />
(184) all won titles, two more Big Red wrestlers reached the finals (Dalton Macri medically forfeited to<br />
second at 125; Will Koll lost to teammate Dylan Realbuto in a one-point decision in the finals) and the other<br />
three reached the semifinals, with Jeramy Sweany medically forfeiting out the rest of the tournament after<br />
winning his first two matches at heavyweight by fall.<br />
