Buffalo, N.Y. -- The Bombers posted a 1-2 record in a quadrangular meet with three Division I opponents, beating Division I Delaware State 46-3 and losing to Division I Ohio (25-15) and Division I Buffalo (31-9). The host Bulls are ranked 25th nationally in Division I.
Seniors Jad Duca (South Brunswick/Monmouth Junction, N.J.) and Matthias Keib (G. Ray Bodley/Fulton) both posted three wins; Duca, coming off a state championship at 157 pounds last weekend, has won 19 straight bouts with the last four coming against Division I competition. He is now 86-31 in his career, ranking 20th on Ithaca's career wins list. Keib, ranked fourth nationally at 174 pounds, is now 26-2 this winter and 89-42 in his career.
Seniors Brian Lockard (Upper Dublin/Dresher, Pa.) and Robert Stubbs (MacArthur Park/Levittown) and junior Nick Calandrino (Emerson/Emerson, N.J.) each went 2-1.
