    Buffalo earns road win at Columbia

    NEW YORK, NY -- The University at Buffalo wrestling team traveled downstate and defeated Columbia, 25-13, at University Gymnasium on Saturday Night. The Bulls had four major decisions and a pin to win their fourth dual of the season.

    Nick Palumbo, a true freshman wrestling in his first career dual, upset Jacob Macalooly in the first match to set the tone. Not only did Palumbo win, but he was dominant, earning the 11-3 major decision.

    Columbia won the next three matches to take a 9-4 lead.

    Brett Perry got the Bulls back on track with an 8-4 decision over Anthony Piscopo and 184. Joe Ariola followed with a 10-2 major decision over Andrew Psomas to put the Bulls ahead, 11-9.

    Ian James, wrestling in place of an injured Jake Gunning, dropped his match, 11-3, to give the lead back to Columbia, 13-11.

    However, it was all Bulls after that. Kyle Akins gave Buffalo the lead for good with a first-period pin of Hunter Dusold. Bryan Lantry followed with a 16-6 major decision over Alec Kelly and Jason Estevez, wrestling at 141 for the first time this season, majored JP Ascolese, 13-3.

    "What a great team win," head coach John Stutzman said. "Nick Palumbo beat a Top 25 guy to lead things off and that sparked us."

    Buffalo improved to 4-4 in duals on the year. They will next wrestle at Missouri on Thursday night.
