This would have been a much easier undertaking had I thought of it before the tournament even began, that way I could have broken this up into much more manageable sections, while also attempting to be a little more informative. I would’ve preferred to be able to go far more in depth with each of the matches, describing the wins and losses in more detail. So maybe “easier” isn’t the correct word here. Alas, the idea didn’t even come to mind until the third session was well underway, and nearly complete. Oh well, maybe next season I’ll do just that.

Binghamton powers past Army West Point Binghamton University Sports Information The Binghamton University wrestling team continued to build strong momentum to start the season, taking down No. 22 Army 23-10 Saturday afternoon in West Point. Ignited by a comeback victory by freshman Micah Roes, and capped off with a major decision by Cory Day over No. 17 Ben Sullivan, the Bearcats return home with a 3-0 record and their best start since the 2011-12 season. That team effort was incredible, head coach Kyle Borshoff said. What those guys did out there, it s hard to do. I need to come up with more adjectives because the only one that comes to my mind is just how incredible that was. I am so proud of our guys. There were four matches listed as toss ups and we were able to win all of them. Those added with Day s upset, leads to the final score you see.
