VESTAL, N.Y.- The Binghamton wrestling team will compete in their final two duals of the season this weekend. On Friday night, the Bearcats will host Buffalo at 7 p.m. at the West Gym for this season's Code Green event.

A 141-pound wrestler from Kenmore, New York, Caruana has amassed 57 career wins, including 21 by fall, and is finishing his collegiate career with an excellent season this winter. He has won 13 matches, including five duals, and ranks second on the team with five pins. The Binghamton University Athlete of the Week on February 6, he posted three straight bonus point wins, including a 22-second pin against Sacred Heart.

A multiple AD Honor Roll and scholar-athlete recipient, he completed his bachelor's degree in the fall and posted a 3.23 GPA in a double major of geography and English. He then entered BU's Graduate School of Education and is now pursuing a master's degree in English Adolescent Education.
