Dugan Leads Pair of Top-10 Wins as Wrestlers Split Saturday Pair
February 04, 2023 | Wrestling
Princeton split a pair of duals Saturday on its trip to Central New York as No. 5-ranked Cornell was a 32-7 winner over the Tigers before Princeton headed south for a 28-10 win over Binghamton.
With the Saturday pair in the books, Princeton has just two more weekends of duals, splitting next weekend between a Friday trip to Penn to wrap up the Ivy League schedule and a Saturday night visit from Lehigh where the program will recognize its seniors in the team's final home match of the season. Tickets are available here.
Cornell match recap
Top-10 wins for Nate Dugan at 184 and Patrick Glory at 125 were the highlight moments from Princeton's first of two Saturday duals, with the host Big Red winning 32-7.
The win for Dugan, ranked No. 32 by the NCAA coaches panel, came over Jonathan Loew, unranked by the NCAA coaches but No. 6 in the nation by InterMat, with the match-turning points coming on a third-period reversal after the wrestlers entered the final period tied at 2-2. Dugan had a second-period takedown bookended by escapes for Loew.
The win was the highest-ranked victory of the junior Dugan's career, surpassing a win over then-No. 16 (InterMat) ranked Jackson Turley of Rutgers at the 2021 MatMen Open and a win over No. 21 (InterMat) Anthony Montalvo of Arizona State in last month's dual match.
A matchup of NCAA-ranked top-10 wrestlers started the day, with Cornell's No. 7 Julian Ramirez scoring late points to beat No. 3 Quincy Monday at 165, handing Monday his first loss of the season after a 15-0 start overall and a 12-0 start at 165, a run that included five wins over top-25 competition including a win over then-No. 4 (InterMat) Dean Hamiti of Wisconsin to win the Midlands title in December. Monday led 6-5 in the third period after his second takedown of the match, but as the period closed, Ramirez scored five points between an escape, a takedown and a two-point near-fall to get the win.
NCAA No. 4-ranked Chris Foca followed with an 8-5 win over Grant Cuomo at 174, getting a takedown and a two-point near-fall as part of a six-point second period to lead 8-2 going into the third on the way to the win.
After Dugan's win for Princeton at 184, Cornell took the next two heading into the halftime break to lead 16-3. At 197, No. 14-ranked (InterMat) Jacob Cardenas was an 8-0 winner over Princeton's No. 17 (NCAA) Luke Stout, as Cardenas used a second-period four-point near-fall to take the lead. At heavyweight, Brendan Furman and Princeton's Travis Stefanik were tied 1-1 entering the sudden-victory period before a Furman takedown preceded a pin 46 seconds into the extra frame.
Then came Patrick Glory's return to 125 after two weeks at 133, and Glory kept right on going, moving to 13-0 with a 10-2 major-decision win over Brett Ungar. Glory was unranked in the first NCAA coaches ranking of the season but is a consensus No. 2 at the weight across the other ranking outlets, and Ungar is No. 8 in the NCAA ranking. It was the second top-10 win in less than a month for Glory, who was a winner over then-No. 6 (InterMat) Brandon Courtney of Arizona State at 133 in last month's dual.
To beat Ungar, Glory had two of his four takedowns in the first period and led the rest of the way, adding two more in the third.
Cornell took the final four matches of the day. At 133, Vito Arujau, No. 2 in the nation by the NCAA coaches panel, had a 20-5, third-period tech-fall win over Anthony Clark before Ethan Fernandez was an 8-2 winner over Christopher Martino at 141. Fernandez used a big third period to get the win, leading 1-0 entering that period before getting a four-point near-fall to open things up.
At 149, Yianni Diakomihalis, unranked by the NCAA coaches but a consensus No. 1 elsewhere as he pursues a fourth NCAA title, was a 15-0, second-period tech-fall winner over Marshall Keller, and at 157, Cornell's Cole Handlovic pulled away in the third period in a 7-1 win over Ty Whalen, getting a takedown and a four-point near-fall in that final frame.

Binghamton followed with the first of its three wins, as Anthony Sobotker was an 11-3 major-decision winner over Anthony Clark at 133 to tie the match at 4-4. After a scoreless first period, Sobotker had an eight-point second period that saw a reversal, a takedown and a four-point near-fall to lead 8-1 entering the third.
Tiger rookie Christopher Martino answered with his first collegiate dual-match win, defeating Christian Gannone 8-4 at 141 to put Princeton back on top, 7-4. Martino rallied from a 3-0 second-period deficit with a takedown and a near-fall before the period was out, and Martino built on that lead in the third with an escape and a takedown before adding the riding-time point.
Binghamton tied the match again as Michael Zarif had a big third period to rally past Marshall Keller 7-6 at 149. After the wrestlers were tied 3-3 entering the third, Zarif had two escapes and a takedown in the final period to get the win and even the match for what turned out to be the final time at 7-7.
Princeton then went on a three-match win streak and took five of the final six to wrap up the win. Ty Whalen got the run going at 157, shutting out Conner Decker 6-0 with a takedown each in the first and third periods.
Quincy Monday, ranked No. 3 in the nation in the NCAA coaches rankings, put Princeton ahead 16-7 with a first-period pin against Carter Baer at 165.
At 174, Kole Mulhauser turned in his own shutout against Sam DePrez, getting a first-period reversal before adding to that with a four-point third period highlighted by a takedown in a 6-0 win.
In the first of two matchups between NCAA coaches-ranked wrestlers, Binghamton's No. 19-ranked Jacob Nolan was an 8-3 winner over No. 32 Nate Dugan at 184. Nolan followed a scoreless first period for both wrestlers with a reversal and a four-point near-fall in the second to build a 6-1 lead on the way to the win.
Nolan's result pulled Binghamton within 19-10 with two matches left, but No. 17-ranked Luke Stout slammed the door with a pin of Cayden Bevis in 1:19 that put Princeton up 25-10 and clinched the win.
The final match of the night was the second of the dual between two wrestlers in the NCAA coaches rankings, and No. 33 Travis Stefanik picked up a 5-3 sudden-victory win for Princeton over No. 18 Cory Day. Stefanik and Day never ended a period anything but tied until the finish, with Stefanik seeing a first-period takedown matched with a reversal, and in the third period, Stefanik was awarded a penalty point that matched a Day escape as the match entered the sudden-victory period tied 3-3. Stefanik had a takedown in the extra time to get the win.
