The Buffalo wrestling team dominated Binghamton early Friday with its lightweights. But after seeing an 18-point lead reduced to six, Buffalo relied on its heavyweights to seal the victory.
The Bulls (9-8, 1-5 Mid-American Conference) defeated in-state rival Binghamton (10-6, 6-3 Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association) 24-12 at Alumni Arena on Friday afternoon. A win over Binghamton gave the Bulls their ninth win of the season, the most since the 2011-12 season, and leaves them looking for one more to reach the 10-win plateau. The Bulls haven’t won 10 dual matches in a season since the 2005-06 season.
“This was a good win for us against a state rival,” said head coach John Stutzman.
