Fifth ranked Lehigh rallies past No. 11 Cornell<\/a><\/p>\n

Bethlehem, PA “Lehigh rallied from a six-nothing deficit and picked up two major decisions en route to a 20-12 victory over No. 11 Cornell at Leeman-Turner Arena inside Grace Hall on Friday night. The win propels fifth-ranked Lehigh to 11-1 on the season in dual meet competition (2-0 EIWA), while the Big Red falls to 2-2 overall and 0-1 in EIWA action.<\/p>\n

After dropping the first two bouts of the night, the Mountain Hawks got on the scoreboard at 141 when Cory Cooperman picked up a convincing 8-2 win over Cornell’s Jordan Lee. That decision cut the Big Red’s lead in half at 6-3. <\/p>\n

Trailing 9-3 entering the bout at 157, Lehigh’s Derek Zinck rolled to a 17-8 major decision over Cornell’s John Cholish to make the score 9-7. Zinck’s victory was one of three straight for Lehigh, as Troy Letters (165) and Travis Frick (174) also picked up wins as the Mountain Hawks went ahead for good.<\/p>\n

Cornell picked up a win at 184, but Lehigh won the final two bouts to seal the win.<\/p>\n

“I was pleased with the way we wrestled as a group tonight,”\u009d said Lehigh head coach Greg Strobel following the victory.<\/p>\n

When asked about two fill-ins, Strobel explained he was more than satisfied with their effort, despite the setbacks. “I thought Dave [Helfrich] and [David] Nakasone wrestled very well tonight,”\u009d he pointed out.<\/p>\n

There is no rest for Lehigh, as the Mountain Hawks are right back in action Saturday night against another top 25 squad. No. 5 Lehigh will visit No. 20 Navy on Saturday night. That match will get underway at 7:00 from Alumni Hall in Annapolis, with exclusive audio coverage on lehighsports.com powered by Yahoo! Sports. Steve Lomangino and Gary Brownell will call the action live.<\/p>\n
