Senior Dan Palmerino (Amsterdam, NY/Amsterdam) pinned his opponent in 1:10 of the first period in the 141 pound match to give The College at Brockport Wrestling team, ranked No. 14 in the country, an early lead and the Golden Eagles cruised to a 35-9 victory Wednesday night at the Jim and John Vlogianitis Gymnasium in Brockport.

Palmerino answered quickly with a takedown and pin in the first 1:10 of his match at 141 pounds as Brockport regained the lead 10-6 and did not trail again for the rest of the match.

Sophomore Jordan Dyer (Chenango Forks, NY/Chenango Forks) posed an 11-4 decision and Lewis Cucchiara (Rochester, NY/Gates-Chili) followed with a 12-6 decision at 157 pounds for the Golden Eagles.
