ITHACA, N.Y. – The team race at the EIWA is coming down to Ivy League powers Cornell and Penn. Both teams pushed eight wrestlers into Sunday’s semifinals, and Cornell holds an eight point lead in the standings after the first day. Cornell has 94.5 points, while Penn has 86.5 points.
Cornell’s eight semifinalists are (with seeds): No. 2 Vitali Arujau (125), No. 4 Dom Lajoie (133), No. 1 Yianni Diakomihalis (149), No. 1 Julian Ramirez (165), No. 2 Chris Foca (174), No. 1 Jonathan Loew (184), No. 2 Jacob Cardenas (197) and No. 2 Lewis Fernandes (285).
Penn’s eight semifinalists are No. 3 Ryan Miller (125), No. 2 Michael Colaiocco (133), No. 2 Cj Composto (141), No. 2 Anthony Artalona (149), No. 3 Doug Zapf (157), No. 3 Nick Incontrera (174), No. 4 Neil Antrassian (184) and No. 4 Ben Goldin (285).
The semifinals will make a difference in the team race, as Cornell and Penn will face each other three times (125, 174 and 184). Cornell is favored in two of the three matchups.
Neither Cornell or Penn, or any of the other Ivy League schools in the conference, competed in the 2020-21 season, as the Ivy League cancelled their season. Lehigh won the 2021 EIWA Championships.
Another Ivy League program, Princeton, is in third place with 69 points, and Lehigh has 62.5 points for fourth place. Both have four in the Sunday morning semifinals.
Lehigh had a setback in the team race at 133 pounds as No. 3 seed and 2021 EIWA champion Malyke Hines took a 0:01 injury default in the round of 16 and took a forfeit in the first consolation round.
2021 EIWA champions who reached this year’s semifinals are P.J. Ogansaya of Army (149), Zach Hartman of Bucknell (165), Lou DePrez of Binghamton (184, now at 197) and Jordan Wood of Lehigh (285).
The EIWA has 42 Pre-Allocation Spots for the 2022 NCAA Championships in Detroit.
