Cornell wrestling has now won 40 conference titles, 10 more than all its other conference foes combined.
Cornell’s record stands at 9-2 after a hard-fought win over Lock Haven.
“Nothing builds confidence more than winning. Winning convincingly is all the better.”
“We had mediocre performances, so I can’t say I am overly pleased with results. That being said, we are finally getting everyone back into the lineup so I expect a vastly improved team moving forward.”
The Red beat Columbia in overtime to earn a win in its final game of the season.
“Unfortunately, we had a poor start to the overtime period and we paid the penalty for it.”
The Red tallied seven shots total, two of which were on goal. At the end of the first half, Princeton committed a foul in the box setting up junior forward George Pedlow for a penalty kick. Pedlow missed the kick and the ensuing rebound in a sequence indicative of the Red’s performance.
The 2018 season isn’t treating the Red nicely — Cornell has just one win and has lost five in a row.
“Although I don’t want to get in the habit of going behind in games, it does show a great level of mental toughness and belief.”
“The goal for us is to be a program that’s recognized nationally, not just in the Ivy. So you have to win these games.”
