    Cornell's victory over Binghamton is program's 750th

    ITHACA, N.Y. -- The No. 7 Cornell wrestling team earned its first dual meet win of the season Saturday night, downing Binghamton 33-6 on Saturday evening in front of 2,012 fans in Newman Arena. It was the Big Red's 750th dual meet victory in program history and kept Cornell unbeaten all-time against the Bearcats (7-0).

    Heading into overtime with his team trailing 6-5, 13th-ranked Chris Villalonga pulled out an 8-6 victory over Joe Bonaldi at 149 pounds to wrest momentum back from the Bearcats and Cornell swept through the rest of the lineup. Freshmen Brian Realbuto (157 pounds) and and Gabe Dean (184 pounds) each earned falls, while Mark Grey won by tech fall at 133 pounds. Owen Scott also won by major decision at 174 pounds to round out the scoring.

    In addition, 2013 NCAA qualifiers Jace Bennett (197) and Stryker Lane (HWT) each earned hard-fought decisions, while rookie Dylan Palacio (165) earned a 10-6 win over Vincent Grella for his first collegiate dual meet victory.

    The Big Red will compete in tomorrow's New York State Intercollegiate Championships beginning at 9 a.m. at Newman Arena.
