Penn Results Princeton Results

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Senior Trey Keeley earned an upset win over the No. 6 wrestler at 125 pounds, and sophomore Jack Bokina tallied two major decisions on the day, but Brown University wrestling dropped decisions to the University of Pennsylvania, 20-19, and No. 20 Princeton University, 29-10, on Saturday afternoon at the Pizzitola Sports Center.

In their first home meets of the year, the Bears (1-7, 1-6 EIWA, 0-3 Ivy) tied the Quakers (4-5, 3-1 EIWA, 1-0 Ivy) at 19-19 before falling on the tiebreaker – greater number of victories – and then dropped the second dual to the Tigers (4-4, 3-0 EIWA, 2-0 Ivy) – ranked No. 20 in Intermat's Dual Meet Rankings – in a pair of EIWA and Ivy matches.

"We wrestled hard today – Ivy League duals always have an added layer of intensity," Brown head coach Todd Beckerman said. "It was great to be able to honor our seniors with so many of our alumni and supporters here today."

Keeley (Washington, Ill.) claimed an upset victory over No. 6 Michael Colaiocco of Penn while Bokina (Mattituck, N.Y.) now has a team-high five major decisions after notching two majors on the day. Sophomore Bryce Rogers (Orlando, Fla.) tallied a fall against Penn, and freshman Ricky Cabanillas (Whippany, N.J.) picked up his team-best 17^th win of the year vs. Princeton.

As part of the day's events on Alumni & Senior Weekend, Brown honored seniors Trey Keeley (Washington, Ill.), Zach Krause (Plainfield, Ill.), and Jimmy Pawelski (Park Ridge, Ill.) for their hard work and dedication to the program over the last four years.

Next, Brown competes in a trio of EIWA duals against Columbia (Feb. 15, 1:00 p.m.), Long Island University (Feb. 16, 11:00 a.m.), and Hofstra (Feb. 16, 1:30 p.m.).

Dual 1: Penn 20, Brown 19 (Tiebreaker Criterion 3.21.A)

Senior Trey Keeley earned an upset win over the No. 6 wrestler at 125 pounds, and sophomore Bryce Rogers posted a fall at 184 pounds, but Brown fell to Penn, 20-19, on tiebreaker criterion 3.15.1 in its home opener on Saturday afternoon.

Facing deficits of 13-4 and 19-10 in their first dual of the day, the Bears rallied to tie the team score at 19-19, but the Quakers took the decision due to their greater number of individual victories (6-4).

Keeley (Washington, Ill.) claimed a top-10 win with his victory over No. 6 Michael Colaiocco, and Rogers (Orlando, Fla.) tallied his first fall of the year. Sophomore 157-pounder Jack Bokina (Mattituck, N.Y.) posted his fourth major decision of the season, and junior Charlie Faber (Glen Ellyn, Ill.) notched his 11^th win of the year behind a forfeit victory.

After the dual started at 141 pounds, Bokina picked up the Bears first victory of the day with a 10-1 major decision over Cam Connor at 157 pounds. Bokina led 2-0 at the end of the first and 5-0 at the close of the second on his way to the victory. His four major decisions on the year are tied for the team lead and his 14 wins rank tied for second on the team.

Rogers notched the Bears' next victory, registering a fall in 4:42 against John Stout at 184 pounds and bringing the Bears within 13-10 in the team score. Rogers recorded Brown's first fall in a dual meet this year.

At 125 pounds, Keeley jumped out to a 6-1 lead after the first period and held on for a 7-6 victory over No. 6 Colaiocco, slicing the Bears' deficit to 19-13. Faber then took a win via forfeit to knot the team score at 19-19 before Penn emerged with a 20-19 win behind its greater number of individual victories.
