BU came out strong with a quick 3-2 win by 125-pound sophomore Steven Bulzomi. The Lions answered back, winning by tech-fall in the 133 division. From there, the Bearcats picked up the next seven matches to clinch the dual.
Trailing by a team score of 3-5 going into the 141 round, Dylan Caruana was aggressive from the start. He pinned his opponent, Jacob Macalolooy, 2:37 into his match. At 149, Kropman followed up suit getting a takedown in the second period to earn a tight 3-2 win over Dan Reed.
Redshirt-freshman Tristan Rifanburg took the gloves off against Columbia's Brock Morgan. After earning a takedown in the first period, Morgan came back with a quick two points for a reverse takedown. Firing Rifanburg up, he racked on four back points and another takedown to win by a 10-2 major decision, and putting the Bearcats up 16-5.
Binghamton didn't stop there however, as brothers Vincent DePrez and Anthony DePrez combined for back to back wins and another 6 team points. At 165, Vincent DePrez won by decision 5-3 against Columbia's Tyrel White. White placed fourth at last year's EIWA Championships and is a two-time veteran at the NCAA's. Anthony DePrez also had an impressive win, earning six takedowns and missing a major decision by just one point against his opponent, Austin Coniker, at 174.
The dagger came in the 184-pound match for BU, with Schneider dominating his opponent and earning multiple points leading up to a pin with 8 seconds to go in the first period. Mark Tracy then twisted the knife, earning a huge major decision win against Columbia's Matt Doggett. At 197 pounds, the redshirt-sophomore posted for three takedowns in a 10-2 match win pushing the Bearcats to their overall 32-8 dual win.
Coach Matt Dernlan's squad is now 2-2 overall and has improved their EIWA record to 2-1 on the season. Next up, Binghamton travels to Pittsburgh, PA this Saturday, January 14th to wrestle in the Pitt Duals.
