MOUNT VERNON – Cornell's men's wrestling Senior Night dual will go down as one of the quickest, a 47-6 dismantling of UW-Oshkosh Friday inside the Small Athletic and Wellness Center.

Coach Brent Hamm's Rams improved to 13-5 after their penultimate dual of the season. The 13 wins are tied for the sixth-most ever by a Cornell squad.
 
Cornell honored its five senior wrestlers prior to the meet, and received a tone-setting win from senior Dahson DeJong in the opening bout at 174 pounds. DeJong (19-11) dominated Kyle Rasper with a 19-3 technical fall in 3:24 for his 50th career victory.
 
Cornell 149-pounder Landon Card celebrated his Senior Night with five first-period takedowns before pinning Leo Ruggiero in 2:48. It was the 98th career victory for Card, who improved to 25-7 on the year.  
 
Cornell's 10th-ranked Treyten Steffen (28-5) compiled six takedowns in an 18-3 technical fall at 197. Junior Scotty Scheidecker (10-11) needed only 4:04 to post a 17-1 technical fall at 157.

Cornell senior Jackson Gonzales capped the night with a major decision in an exhibition match at 174.
 
Cornell's senior class has now accounted for 320 individual career wins. The group is headed by eighth-ranked 184-pounder Cael McLaren (106 career wins), who did not wrestle Friday.
 
Coming up – Cornell will send a partial squad to the Dubuque Invitational Saturday in Dubuque. The Rams conclude their dual season Wednesday with a 7 p.m. Bremner Cup meet against 10th-ranked Coe in Mount Vernon.
