NEW YORK, N.Y. - It's lucky 13 for Cornell wrestling. The Big Red capped off a perfect 2015 Ivy League campaign with a 38-0 win at Columbia, sweeping through the Lions like they have their conference counterparts for more than a decade. The win extended Cornell's win streak over Ancient Eight foes to 68 matches over more than 13 seasons.

On a day where just about everything went right, Cornell won close decisions, had five total falls in two duals - including its earlier 41-7 win over Hofstra - and had 11 of its 18 wins on the day come by way of bonus point triumphs. With the wins, Cornell captured its 42nd straight against EIWA win, 61st consecutive against unranked foes and now 27 straight against New York state opponents. It was the Big Red's 12th in a row over the Pride and its 29th straight against the Lions.
