ITHACA, N.Y. -- Seniors Craig Eifert, Jesse Shanaman and Jace Bennett all picked up wins in their final regular season home dual to help Cornell knock off Lock Haven on Saturday evening at Friedman Wrestling Center. The Big Red, starting backups at six weight classes, improved to 12-1 on the season with the 22-13 triumph.

Cornell's four regular starters all took different paths to victory. Nahshon Garrett started the Big Red out right with an easy tech fall victory over Jake Field at 125 and Duke Pickett took home a 13-2 major decision over Tyler Wood at 174. On the other end of the spectrum, seniors Chris Villalonga and Jace Bennett both grinded out wins at 149 and 197, respectively. Villalonga held off 2014 NCAA qualifier Daniel Neff 3-2, while Bennett topped Phil Sprenkle 7-6.

Shanaman and Eifert, both of whom have taken the mat as starters at various times in their Big Red career, walked off the mats victorious in helping the Big Red improve to 50-7 in dual meet competition over their career, including 19-0 against Ivy foes. The win was the 59 straight victory for Cornell over an unranked opponent.

Cornell will look to close out its 13th straight Ivy League title when it visits Columbia on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 6 p.m. The Big Red will begin the day with a dual meet at Hofstra at noon.
