BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Cornell won its ninth consecutive EIWA title, matching a school record with five individual champions and comfortably holding off host Lehigh while qualifying eight of its 10 wrestlers for the upcoming NCAA championships in two weeks.

The Big Red won the team title by 30 points over the Mountain Hawks, scoring 176 points - just .5 off its school record. It went 8-1 in the final session, with its only loss an injury forfeit. Cornell won all five finals and three more third place matches. The lone match of the evening that affected the NCAA tournament picture came with Mark Grey punching his ticket at 133 with a third place finish. Needing to top Columbia's Angelo Amenta to automatically qualify, the sophomore did just that with a controlling 7-4 decision.
