ITHACA, N.Y. -- Bonus points and three Big Red wins over ranked Mountain Hawk wrestlers led Cornell to a 23-14 win over EIWA archrival Lehigh on Friday evening at Friedman Wrestling Center. The 12th-ranked Big Red improved to 5-2 with the victory, while the seventh-ranked Mountain Hawks fell to 8-2.

Will Koll (149) and Jon Jay Chavez (165) each knocked off ranked wrestlers and freshman Yianni Diakomihalis earned a major decision shutout of No. 13 Luke Karam at 141 pounds in the feature match. Koll was in control throughout in knocking off No. 19 Cortlandt Schuyler 4-1, followed by Chavez taking out No. 18 Gordon Wolf on the strength of a six-point first-period move en route to a 12-6 victory. Diakomihalis was never threatened in an 8-0 victory over Karam, his xx win over a ranked opponent this season.
