ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Ithaca College wrestling team, ranked 13th nationally, won the first five bouts of the match and went on to a 36-9 dual-match victory over visiting Oneonta at Ben Light Gymnasium on Thursday. Ithaca improved to 7-4 on the season and Oneonta fell to 6-9. The Bombers won three bouts by pin and another by forfeit to earn 24 of their team points in the match.

The Bombers started things off with a forfeit victory by Ricky Gomez at 125 pounds. Alex Gomez, ranked fifth nationally at 133 pounds, posted a 5-4 decision victory over Benjamin Mikac of Oneonta. Mikac scored a late escape and takedown but couldn't overcome Gomez' lead that deep into the third period.

At 141, Dominick Giacolone of Ithaca and Sean Hanson of Oneonta headed to a one-minute overtime period tied 1-1 after three rounds of wrestling, and Giacolone earned the victory with a takedown 52 seconds into the extra period.

The Bombers won three of the next four bouts by pinfall, with Kevin Collins taking care of business in the second round of his bout at 149, and nationally-ranked wrestlers Derek Brenon and Jules Doliscar winning by fall in the first round. Brenon wrapped things up in 2:14 at 157 pounds and Doliscar raced out to a big early lead with nine points in the first 90 seconds of the opening round in his match at 174, then finished his opponent with a pin at 1:54.

Dan Glinko was a 6-2 winner for the Bombers in his 184-pound bout. Ithaca's Cris Ramirez scored a third-period reversal to take the lead in his heavyweight bout and held on to that advantage to post a 2-1 decision victory.

Ithaca returns to action Friday, Feb. 15 with a home dual at the Glazer Arena inside of Ithaca's Athletics & Events Center at 7 p.m. against Wilkes.
