LEWISBURG, Pa. – Although both Cornell and Lehigh both pushed four wrestlers into the gold-medal finals at the EIWA Championships, it was the defending champion Big Red which extended its lead to 31.5 points during the Saturday morning session at Bucknell University.
Cornell led by 12 points going into the semifinals, and were ahead by 20 points when the semifinals ended. But for awhile early in the session, it looked like it might go the other way.
The morning started well for Lehigh, which won two key head-to-head bouts against Cornell right off the bat at 125 pounds and 133 pounds.
At 125, returning champion and No. 1 seed Darian Cruz fired up the Lehigh fans with a first-period takedown, then quickly turned and pinned No. 4 seed Noah Baughman of Cornell in 1:34. Next up at 133, top seed Scott Parker let up and took down Mark Grey of Cornell two times late in their semifinal to secure a 10-2 major decision with the additional bonus points.
The Lehigh rally continued at 141 pounds, when two-time EIWA champion and No. 2 seed Randy Cruz needed a riding time point to edge local favorite and No. 3 seed Tyler Smith of Bucknell, 3-2. With the Randy Cruz win, Lehigh jumped to a five point lead.
It all started changing at 149 pounds. In a wild semifinals, No. 5 seed Hunter Ladnier of Harvard scored a sudden-victory takedown to edge No. 1 seed Laike Gardner of Lehigh, 11-7, silencing the loud Mountain Hawk fans and ending the Lehigh run.
“It feels good. I just keyed on what my coaches teach me. The third period, with everything rolling out there, I looked over to Coach Weiss and he said ‘Believe. Believe.’ That is all I thought out there the whole time. Just do what they taught me and it will come to fruition,” said Ladnier.
Then at 157, Cornell’s next semifinals got the ball rolling for the Big Red. No. 4 seed Dylan Palacio, a past EIWA champion, kept his attack active to score a clutch 11-2 major decision over No. 8 seed Steven Galiardo of Brown.
This was the weight where Lehigh had no entry, after No. 1 seed Jordan Kutler missed weight yesterday morning.
Palacio has had a difficult year both on and off the mat, and he was very excited to make the finals. After Palacio’s semifinals win, the hammers in the upper weights for Cornell stepped up and took over.
“People ask me what is going on. Is he just out there eating potato chips? To keep a long story short, I was in a bad place for awhile. I didn’t have bad habits. I had a lot of unfortunate things that I could not control happen to me, the death of my best friend and a lot of other stuff I don’t want to talk about. When I am out here, and I get these chances again, no matter how few they are, it makes me feel like I have it all,” said Palacio.
The next three weights featured No. 1 seeds from Cornell, and all won their semifinals, Brandon Womack at 165, Brian Realbuto at 174 and two-time NCAA champion Gabe Dean at 184. Dean made the run even better with a pin over No. 4 seed Samson Imonode of Army, adding bonus points.
Realbuto won a battle of past EIWA champions, when he had a strong third period to defeat 2015 EIWA champion Jadean Bernstein of Navy, 8-4.
Over those three weights, Lehigh added their fourth finalist, No. 2 Ryan Preisch at 174, who will face Cornell’s returning champion Realbuto in the only Lehigh-Cornell matchup for the finals. In addition, No 2 seed Cole Walter was beaten in the consolation quarterfinals at 165 by Andrew Mendel of Army, and was ultimately only able to place eighth in the tournament. Lehigh also suffered another semifinal loss at heavyweight, when No. 3 seed Garrett Ryan of Columbia stopped No. 2 Doug Vollaro, 6-2.
“Everybody really wrestled well. We lost the first two early, and won almost every on since then, including a lot of pins. I just love it, because now there are no excuses. You can’t say this guy was out, or that guy was out for other teams, because we are going to win this by 40 points,” said Cornell head coach Rob Koll.
Cornell also went on a nice run in the consolation semifinals and seventh place matches, adding another 11.5 points to the lead. The session ended with a consolation semifinal win at 197 pounds, when No. 5 seed Ben Honis pinned No. 2 seed Brett Harner of Princeton, firing up the Cornell coaches and fans.
“We knew if we could just hold serve that we would be OK, but we did more than that. We had our guys wrestle well in the consis, and we are sneaking some more guys into the nationals now. We have three more for third and we expect to win those, and we expect to win all four in the finals,” said Koll.
There are nine returning or former EIWA champions competed in the semifinals, but only five reached the finals: Darian Cruz, Randy Cruz, Palacio, Realbuto and Dean. The four who fell short of the finals were Bernstein, Kevin DeVoy of Drexel at 133, Matt Cimato of Drexel at 141 and Brett Harner of Princeton at 197.
Princeton entered the session in third place, just five points behind Lehigh with five semifinalists. After the session ended, Princeton remained in third, 8.5 points behind Lehigh, with two in the finals, freshman No. 1 seed Matt Kolodzik at 141 and No. 2 seed Jordan Laster at 149.
Rounding out the top five in the standings were Army in fourth with 79.5 and Navy in fifth with 73.5.
The finals, which includes first, third and fifth place matches, begin at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The event is being broadcast by Flowrestling.

LEWISBURG, Pa. – Although both Cornell and Lehigh both pushed four wrestlers into the gold-medal finals at the EIWA Championships, it was the defending champion Big Red which extended its lead to 31.5 points during the Saturday morning session at Bucknell University.
Cornell led by 12 points going into the semifinals, and were ahead by 20 points when the semifinals ended. But for awhile early in the session, it looked like it might go the other way.
The morning started well for Lehigh, which won two key head-to-head bouts against Cornell right off the bat at 125 pounds and 133 pounds.
