Clifton Park, NY - Hofstra dropped a pair of dual matches at the Journeymen Wrestling Armbar Duals, falling to Princeton, 36-6, before a tough 20-17 EIWA loss to Binghamton. The Bearcats won the final two weight classes to erase a 17-14 deficit.

Hofstra dropped to 2-9 overall and 2-2 in the EIWA with the losses. Princeton is now 2-3 on the season, while Binghamton is 3-1 overall and 2-0 in the EIWA. 

In the opener against the Tigers, Frank Volpe (157) and Will Conlon (197) picked up wins by decision. Volpe scored a third period takedown and four back points in his win over Gavin Hawk. Conlon won his match against Kole Mulhauser in sudden victory, 9-6. Mulhauser is ranked No. 27 in the nation at 184 pounds.
