NEW YORK, N.Y. (December 1, 2013) – The 23rd-ranked Stevens Institute of Technology wrestling team toppled No. 24 New York University Saturday in the Grapple at the Garden hosted at Madison Square Garden – the "World's Most Famous Arena."
 
Stevens improves to 3-2 overall and 3-0 against NCAA Division III opponents. The Ducks have now knocked off No. 6 TCNJ and the 24th-ranked Violets (2-2) in back-to-back dual-matches.
 
The Ducks won the first two bouts of the afternoon and after dropping one a 141 pounds, Stevens ran off four-straight victories, three by decision, to all but close-out the win. NYU was able to take 184, but wins at 197 and 285 for Stevens rounded out the 25-7 victory.
 
Freshman Rob Murray earned a 3-0 win for the Ducks to start the dual, with sophomore Ryan Wilson following with gritty 3-2 decision over sophomore Corbin Lee. Following a loss at 141, junior 149-pounder Mike Polizzi tallied Stevens' only non-decision win of the day, taking a 13-2 major over Darryl Albonico to make it 10-4.
 
Sophomore Jake O'Dell went 4-0 at 157 in what was one of three shutouts on the afternoon for Stevens, the others being Murray and senior Ryan Dormann who won 3-0 at 174 pounds over sophomore Brian Anderson.
 
Junior Conner Bass was a winner, tallying an 8-6 decision, while senior captain Alex Moreno and junior heavyweight Chris Florek went 7-1 and 3-2, respectively.
