YORK, Pa. – The No. 17-ranked Ithaca College men's wrestling team competed in the weekend-long New Standard Corporation Invitational hosted by York College, concluding on Saturday. The Bombers delivered a strong team effort, finishing fourth with 111 team points behind first-place North Central (129.5), Washington & Lee (125.5), and Ursinus (118.5).
 
Senior Isaias Torres, the top seed at 141 pounds, continued his dominant run by claiming the title with two victories on Saturday. Torres impressed with a 9-2 decision over Ursinus's Andrew Schaen, scoring eight points in the second period, including a takedown and near fall. In the championship match, he edged out No. 2 seed Skyler Hickman of Washington & Lee with a 4-2 decision to secure the crown.

Eamon Callaghan, after dropping his quarterfinal, rallied with three consecutive wins in the consolation bracket, including two pins and an 8-0 major decision over Luke Theis of TCNJ. He ultimately placed fifth after an 8-1 loss to Updale in the third-place match.
 
At 133 pounds, Jay McDonnell upset nationally ranked No. 10 Vincent Ziccardi on Friday and finished fourth overall. The sophomore went 1-1 on Saturday, narrowly losing 4-1 in the semifinal to TCNJ's Garret Totten but rebounded with a 12-3 major decision over Washington & Lee's Calvin Wiedemer to claim fourth place.
 
Akio Sanders earned third place at 157 pounds, defeating Washington & Lee's Noah Danforth 17-8 in a major decision. Sanders went undefeated on Saturday with four wins, including two bonus-point victories.
