ITHACA, N.Y. — The nationally-ranked Ithaca College wrestling team posted a season-high four wins via pin in knocking off Oswego State 45-3 Saturday inside the Ben Light Gymnasium.

The Bombers also received a forfeit win and lost only one match against the Lakers (1-3).

Ithaca raced out to a 27-0 lead through the first six matches before Oswego scored its first points of the day.

Freshman Ferdinand Mase posted a 6-1 decision over Jacob Yankloski at 125 pounds to improve to 12-7 and get the Bombers' dual home opener off to a good start. Mase posted a pair of first-period takedowns and led 4-1 after one period to secure the win.

Junior Nick Wahba dominated at 141, posting three first-period takedowns en route to a 14-4 major decision triumph over Israel Segarra. The win maintained Wahba's perfect record on the season at 4-0.

Senior Dan Pak won by forfeit at 149 before sophomore Nik Hansen improved to 8-4 thanks to an impressive 20-3 technical fall win over Todd Woodcock at 157. Hansen recorded four first-period takedowns and led 16-2 at the end of the first period before securing the win. 

Sophomore Nick Velez, the reigning D3Wrestle.com Wrestler of the Week who is ranked fifth nationally, posted an 8-2 decision over Mark Milisci to win at 165 and run his record to 12-3 before the Bombers closed the match with three straight pins.
