When junior Gabe Dean took the mat on Sunday, no one imagined that within 30 seconds, he would earn a fall that would secure the Cornell wrestling team's 10th straight EIWA title. Dean and the other first place finishers, senior Nahshon Garrett and juniors Brian Realbuto and Dylan Palacio, all had incredibly strong weekends, dominating in their respective weight classes and earning themselves spots in the NCAA Tournament in two weeks.

"Gabe Dean walked onto the mat in the finals and within 30 seconds, slammed his opponent to his back, earning the fall and thus dashing all of Lehigh's hopes of stopping our Eastern championship run at nine," said head coach Robert Koll.
