Bearcats drop nine contested bouts

VESTAL, N.Y. - The Binghamton wrestling team fell 36-6 to #9 Cornell in the Events Center Friday night. Audey Ashkar was the sole winner with a forfeit by Cornell at 125 pounds.

"Tonight was a good learning experience for our team," head coach Kyle Borshoff said. "Cornell is one of the top programs in the country every year and they came in here and they brought that experience to the mat. Our guys found out what it takes to be one of the best teams in the country and we got to feel what it's like to wrestle one tonight. There were some things that I saw tonight that we can build from as we move through the season and we have plenty of time to build on this and be ready to go."
