BigRedFan Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Match notes for Lehigh show Stanich and Crookham, and Joy/Shapiro/Ruiz for Cornell. 1pm Saturday streamed on Flo. Might be fun. Cornella vs Stanich is a top 10 (5?) matchup. Bonus points might be real key to victory.
GV4444 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 This will a great match if we see all those guys. Crookham arrives at the same time as Jax. Dispassionate Penn State grad and fan.
Owen Rector Posted January 8 Posted January 8 my predictions: Seymour dec Milani LE 3 COR 0 Crookham dec Ferrera LE 6 COR 0 Stanich dec Cornella LE 9 COR 0 Joy pins Evanitsky if that is who Lehigh sends out LE 9 COR 6 Shapiro md Rozynski LE 9 COR 10 Brignola md Cerchio LE 13 COR 10 Ruiz tech Federici LE 13 COR 15 Rogers dec Hansen LE 16 COR 15 Davis md Hanning LE 20 COR 15 Taylor tech Davis LE 25 COR 15
Red Blades Posted January 9 Posted January 9 I've got Cornell taking it, 19-14. Upset special, Cornella over Stanich.
Spladle88 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) Why would the #6 ranked Cornella beating the #5 ranked Stanich (if he is even ranked) who hasn’t wrestled in about 6 months be an “upset special”? You sound like a guy who says i’m going to go wayyyyy out on a limb here and say the coin flip will be tails…… and no Roz at 157 so Shapiro will get a cake walk to bonus and Reinsel at 149 since Griffin is done for year….

Got to agree with that. Stanich will be rusty.

BruceyB Posted January 9 Posted January 9 3 hours ago, juniorvarsity said: Does Cornell even care if they win dual meets? Based on recent years.. definitely not as much as they care about seeds. However, in this dual, I don't see any match-ups that present downside, so it wouldn't make much sense to sit anyone that isn't truly hurt.

You're aware that Stanich is a Jr. World Champ and AA'd as a TRFR.. and Vince Cornella failed to qualify for NCAAs his last year as a starter, no? Cornella has been wrestling extremely well this year, but outside of his recent win over Composto, his only win over an AA in his career was Cole Matthews (in 2024 when Matthews was nearly 2 years removed from his lone AA season).

No. Cornella has qualified for the NCAA tournament both years he has competed (freshman and sophomore years), both as a starter. He qualified but was injured in 2024, and did not compete due to that injury in 2025.

jbai3_12 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Starts at 133. Crookham decisions Ferrara. 2 takedowns, rubberknee, reattack, and a sucker drag. Stanich decisions Cornella. Cornella draws first blood, Stanich with a go behind with 10 seconds left for the win. Joy currently up 7-0.
Pinnacle Posted January 10 Posted January 10 133 is loaded. Throw Seidel in the mix and turn on the blender.

jdalu75 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Ashton Davis weighed in at 285 for Cornell, but I think going with Cash Henderson was a good move. Taylor would have been expecting Davis and had never wrestled Cash before. And you've got to figure that a guy named Cash would be good in a money bout.
Lordnelson Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Cornella really should've won his match. He shut down late in the 3rd and tried to see time out in the front headlock position. Credit Stanich for moving forward and wearing him down but it was a good opportunity for Cornella to win. Gotta think Stanich will only get sharper moving forward. Regardless it looks like Cornella is actually healthy now which is nice to see. Quote
