The SUNY Oneonta wrestling team hosted the 2014 North East Duals Saturday afternoon. The Red and White fell to Rhode Island College 20-16 in its only dual match of the day.

Sophomore Dominic DeGraba (Dallas, PA/Dallas) picked up the first win of the match at 125 pounds claiming a slim 3-2 decision over Brennen Liebel. Rookie Anthony Messina (Farmingville/Sachem East) picked up where DeGraba left off taking a 7-4 decision over Damen Patisaul to give the Red Dragons a 6-0 lead.

Rhode Island claimed the 141 and 149 bouts to take an 8-6 advantage before junior Evan Wallace (East Greenbush/Columbia) out lasted Kyle Lake for a 4-0 decision to put Oneonta back on top 9-8.

After Cameron Milliken (Albany/Albany Academy) fell in the 165 bout, junior captain Shaun Gillen (Bohemia/Connetquot) dominated Victor Zabalu in the 174 contest taking the bout 13-4. 

Senior captain Chad Obzud (Cohoes/Lansingburgh)  defeated Iman Gholizadeh in the 197 bout leaving The Red and White trailing by one heading into the heavyweight contest.

Rookie James Bethel (Saugerties/Saugerties) held his own in the first period taking a 3-2 lead in the middle of the stanza before taking a tie into the middle frame. Bethel took down his opponent with 15 seconds left in the second period, before allowing his opponent to gain control and get a take down. The combatant took to the third period with Rhode Island's Terrance Jean-Jaques holding a 9-6 lead. The third period started with a roaring crowd encouraging the Red Dragon. Bethel started on top in the final period, but a stalling Jean-Jaques did not allow Bethel to take advantage.  

Six Red Dragons picked up wins in exhibition action. Sophomore Nathaniel Armour (New Orleans, LA/Jesuit) and freshman Timothy Flower (Rotterdam/Schalmont) each picked up a pair of pins, while sophomore Steven Lee (West Babylon/West Babylon) and junior Anthony Marino (Nesconset/Sachem North) recorded on pin apiece. Freshmen Chris D'Amico (Greenlawn/John H. Glenn) and Matthew Marino also picked up decisions.
