The New York University wrestling team defeated Hunter College 29-14 in a road match on Friday afternoon, December 6, in mid-Manhattan.
 
NYU was led by its two top-ranked wrestlers, junior co-captains Patrick Sheehan (#10 at 184 pounds) and Brandon Jones (#1 at 141). Both grapplers recorded key victories by fall in their respective weight classes, helping NYU to its victory over the Hawks.
 
HIGHLIGHTS:
 
- Sophomore Richy Cruz earned a hard-fought 3-1 decision at 149 pounds.
 
- Junior co-captain Matt DiGiovanni (157 pounds) won his match by a 14-6 major decision.
 
- Freshman John Messinger earned a major decision (12-3) at 165 pounds.
 
- At 197 pounds, senior co-captain Dan Bereton pulled out a tightly contested victory by decision (8-7) with time running out in the third round.
 
- Freshman John Klein competed at heavyweight and earned the 5-0 decision to finish off the match.
 
"It was a step in the right direction after our performance at the Garden against Stevens Tech," said NYU Head Coach Bruce Haberli. "I think we're still a few steps away from where we need to be, but I thought it was a good match today."
