Schuyler’s overtime win lifts Lehigh past No. 7 Cornell, 19-16 in Sheridan Dual

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – In a tightly-contested dual that came down to overtime in the final bout, Lehigh knocked off No. 7 Cornell 19-16 in the annual Billy Sheridan Memorial Dual in front of 1,820 Saturday inside Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall. The Mountain Hawks and Big Red were knotted at 16-16 through nine bouts. A takedown 37 seconds into sudden victory by senior Cortlandt Schuyler over Jonathan Furnas at 149, gave Lehigh the victory and sent the Mountain Hawks and their fans into celebration. Schuyler’s 3-1, sudden victory win clinched Lehigh’s first win over Cornell since 2016 and its first in Bethlehem since 2011. “I’m really happy for Cortlandt,” Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro said. “He battled a really good kid there. It came down to overtime. It doesn’t really get more dramatic than that. But this was a total team effort. Every single point counted in this match. Everybody fought.” Rest of the story at https://lehighsports.com/news/2019/1/12/wrestling-schuylers-overtime-win-lifts-lehigh-past-no-7-cornell-19-16-in-sheridan-dual.aspx?mc_cid=8c24e9c486&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
