ITHACA, N.Y. - The Big Red wrestling team kicked off the season by playing host to the Body Bar Invitational at Newman Arena on Saturday. Cornell took the team championship, outscoring second-place Oregon State by 42.5 points, finishing at 138. Troy Nickerson (125), Mike Mormile (133), Dustin Manotti (157), Luke Hogle (174), Joe Mazzurco (184) and Jerry Rinaldi (197) all took the title in their respective weight brackets. Cornell was the only squad to have multiple first-place finishers.
Steve Anceravage had an impressive run through the 165 pound bracket, advancing to the championship bout before falling to Pitt's Justin Nestor. Joey Hooker, the fourth seed in the same bracket, took third place after losing to Nestor in the semi-finals and then defeating Slippery Rock's Jason Cardillo. Josh Arnone also took home a third-place finish in the 184 pound bracket. In all, the Big Red had 11 wrestlers finish in the top five of their brackets.
Oregon State finished second in the 11-team field with a final score of 95.5. The Beavers finished with three runners-up and two third-place finishers. Kent State, Purdue and Pitt rounded out the top five.
