The SUNY Oneonta wrestling team fell to ECWC rival Cortland Wednesday night by a score of 19-18 in a match that came down to the wire. Oneonta faced three ranked combatants on the night, with freshman James Bethel (Saugerties/Saugerties) earning a victory over one of them.
 
Junior Adam Greene (Port Crane/Chenango Valley) picked up the first win of the night for the host Red Dragons with an 8-3 decision over Matt Norris at 141 pounds. A Cortland forfeit at 157 pounds tied the meet at nine.
 
After dropping the 165-pound bout, Oneonta would again tie the match after junior captain Shaun Gillen (Bohemia/Connetquot) defeated Joe Cataldo 6-4.
 
The final three bouts pitted Oneonta against nationally ranked wrestlers.

Cortland sent fourth ranked Joe Giaramita out for the 197 bout against senior captain Chad Obzud (Cohoes/Lansingburgh). Giaramita won the contest 12-0.
