    Cornell defeats Hofstra

    NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Senior Luke Hogle scored a huge upset, picking up a major decision over Hofstra's Joe Rovelli at 184 pounds, keying the Cornell wrestling team to a 22-18 victory over the Pride on Saturday afternoon at the New York Athletic Club. Hogle, unranked entering the day's action, won by a 12-4 margin over Rovelli, the seventh-ranked wrestler in the nation. Cornell, ranked 16th in the nation, improves to 3-5 on the year, while Hofstra, which entered the day ranked fifth, falls to 17-3-2.

    Hogle's win at 184 jump-started the Big Red, as Cornell would go on to win the next four matches. In that stretch, No. 4 Jerry Rinaldi scored a 4-2 victory over No. 11 Chris Weidman at 197. At heavyweight, Cornell's Zach Hammond picked up a 2-1 tiebreaker victory over Matt Pollock, a former Cornell wrestler.

    At 125, Troy Nickerson scored a forfeit victory, and Adam Frey, ranked third in the nation, wrapped up the streak for the Big Red at 133, picking up a 7-5 win over Lou Ruggirello, ranked 19th in the country. Jordan Leen's 5-3 win at 149 wrapped up the victories for the Big Red as the fourth-ranked Leen claimed a 5-3 win over Mitch Smith, who entered the day ranked 19th.
