Bearcats take back-to-back victories over Harvard and Brown

.CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Binghamton wrestling team heads home with back-to-back EIWA wins under its belt. The Bearcats took a dominating 33-14 victory over Harvard earlier in the afternoon before making the trip to Providence, Rhode Island where Binghamton won 19-15 over the Bears. 

"We've got a lot of momentum right now," head coach Kyle Borshoff said. "We're doing a good job of building off of our success. We've been talking a lot about attitude and effort these last few weeks and the guys are stepping up in a huge way. It's really exciting to watch our team wrestle right now and if we keep up this intensity that we're bringing to the mat I think we're going to surprise a lot of people these next few months."

Highlights
  • With its wins today, Binghamton moves to 4-3 overall with a 3-2 EIWA record.
  • Four Bearcats went 2-0 on the day.
  • 133-pounder Zack Trampe and 174-pounder Vincent DePrez each won their fourth consecutive match tonight against Brown.
  • 141-pounder Anthony Sparacio and 184-pounder Lou DePrez each won their sixth straight match tonight against Brown.
  • In the match against Harvard, Vincent DePrez recorded his first fall of the season over Leo Tarantino at 2:54. 
  • 197-pounder Alex Melikian went 1-1 on the day, recording his first tech-fall of the season, 17-2 over Harvard's Cole Bateman.
  • Sparacio outscored his opponents 33-9 today, earning a major decision over Harvard's Tucker Ribman (11-2) and a tech-fall over Brown's Colin Realbuto (22-7). The major decision was the junior's first bonus point win of the season. 
  • 165-pounder Aidan Monteverdi extended his win streak to three with a victory over Harvard's Tyler Tarsi, 7-4. The streak was later broken, after Monteverdi dropped a hard-fought match in sudden victory to No. 14 nationally ranked Jon Viruet of Brown.
