Overall Ithaca came out on top winning 3-42. Due to a shortage, the Lions were forced to forfeit 3 weight classes from the beginning: 125, 184, and 197.
 
After the meet, Head Coach Paul Schmidt commented, "Although the score ended up lopsided, we had some very close matches against quality wrestlers. Every meet is another chance to get better, and that's what we did here today."
 
The Lions are back in action on Saturday to take on SUNY-Cortland at home.
