    Binghamton defeats Columbia

    NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The Binghamton wrestling team had some fun in the Big Apple today, clinching a 23-12 victory over Columbia to win their second straight dual.

    "I'm really proud of the way our athletes wrestled this weekend," head coach Kyle Borshoff said. "Today ws a fantastic effort against Columbia. Aidan got the team rolling with a nice revenge win, after that the team dug in and gave a great effort to win seven out of 10 bouts. Anthony Sparacio also picked up a nice revenge win tonight and continues to get better every time he steps on the mat. I'm looking forward to next weekend and hope we can keep the same focus and effort moving forward."
