"That was a good win for us over an instate rival. They had beaten us the last couple of years," head coach John Stutzman said. "Whenever you're building a program, every win is big and I think this is extra special because it's an instate rival."
Kyle Akins got things off to a great start by pinning Steven Bulzomi at the 4:17 mark. It was his team-best fourth pin of the season and improved the redshirt-freshman's record to 16-9 on the year.
Bryan Lantry followed up with a dominant 9-3 decision over Jacob Nicholas to extend the UB lead to 9-0. It was Lantry's 16th win of the season.
Brandon Lapi held off Dylan Caruana for 2-0 decision, which included a point for riding time, to extend the UB lead to 12-0. Lapi improved to 13-13 on the season.
Colt Cotten earned the Bulls second pin of the day when he took down Jesse Dellavecchia just 2:32 into his match. It was Cotten's ninth win and first pin of the season.
Binghamton climbed back into the dual by winning the next four matches and cut the UB lead to 18-12.
However, James Benjamin quieted the Bearcat threat when he earned a 4-0 decision over Mark Tracy. Benjamin evened his record at 13-13 on the season.
The final match of the day went to Jake Gunning as the redshirt-freshman defeated Connor Caulkins, 5-3, for his 15th win of the year.
UB will be back in action on Sunday afternoon when it hosts Northern Illinois at Alumni Arena at 1 pm.
