Stout, Ethan Rivera Shine as Princeton Falls to #9 Cornell

February 08, 2025 | Wrestling

ITHACA, N.Y. – With Luke Stout earning his second-consecutive tech fall and Ethan Rivera returning to the mat with a big decision, the Princeton wrestling team fell 32-8 to the #9 Cornell Big Red on Saturday afternoon in Ithaca.

Stout dominated his match against the Big Red's Michael Dellagatta, opening the scoring in the first period with a five point sequence before continuing to rack up points with takedowns and consistent control throughout the bout. Stout got the tech, 17-2 in 5:27, which is now his second one back-to-back after earning a tech over Harvard's Hudson Skove.

With the win, Stout is now undefeated since his midseason return in January, with his only loss this season in December at the hands of Iowa's #1 Stephen Buchanan.

Ethan Rivera was the other Tiger triumph of the day, after battling his way to an 8-1 decision over Marcello Milani. Despite an even, scoreless matchup at first, Rivera was able to execute a series of takedowns, staying consistent to get the win.
