Without the services of two-time national champion Gabe Dean, Cornell jumbled its lineup with mixed results. Senior All-Americans Dylan Palacio and Brian Realbuto had no problems going up a weight, with Palacio making his season debut with a 12-2 major decision over Austin Rose at 165 and Realbuto capturing a second period fall over Owen Brooks at Dean's usual weight, 184 pounds. Sophomore Brandon Womack, however, wasn't as fortunate, losing a 13-8 decision at 174 while also going up a weight class.
Drexel picked up early momentum with a decisive tech fall by Tanner Shoap at 125 to open the deal, but Mark Grey answered with a first period pin of Brendan Hasson to give the home team the lead for good and improve to 83-0 against EIWA foes other than Lehigh over the last 12 years (90-4-1 overall). Both Will Koll (141) and Taylor Simaz (157) earned major decision victories for the Big Red. The visitors earned third period comebacks to claim wins in the final two matches.
Cornell will turn around for another opportunity against ra ranked team when No. 9 Missouri visits Friedman Wrestling Center tomorrow at 1 p.m.
