ITHACA, N.Y. – The Cedar Crest College wrestling team finished third as a team at the Ithaca College Invitational on Saturday at Ben Light Gymnasium.

"It was a great effort by our squad today," said Head Wrestling Coach Alex Depew. "We went out looking to score points and put people away. Some individual efforts that stood out are Andi, Julie, and Aeriel. Andi went out and had a great day. A great bounce back from last weekend and beat high-level kids to win her first collegiate tournament. Julie and Aeriel were right there with second and third-place finishes, respectively. Overall, I'm incredibly proud of this group."
