ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell raced out to a 29-3 lead on the strength of four bonus point victories and moved one step closer to its 13th consecutive Ivy League title with a 29-9 triumph over Princeton on Friday evening at Friedman Wrestling Center. The Big Red improved to 11-1 overall and 4-0 in conference play, while the Tigers dropped to 5-5 (0-1 Ivy).

Sophomore Gabe Dean's second period pin over Brett Harner highlighted the night, with junior Nahshon Garrett and senior Chris Villalonga each posting technical falls. Sophomore Mark Grey added a major decision victory at 133 and Brian Realbuto at 157, Dylan Palacio at 165 and Duke Pickett at 174 all had comfortable wins of at least five points in helping decide the dual.

Cornell continued several streaks in the victory, posting its 67th consecutive Ivy League dual meet win, its 40th straight against EIWA opponents and its 58th in a row against unranked foes. The win was the 100th in Ivy dual meet competition for Rob Koll, who now has a 100-8-1 mark (.922).

The Big Red will hit the mats again on Saturday, Jan. 31 when Lock Haven vists Friedman Wrestling Center at 6:30 p.m.
