Matt Dernlan picked up his first dual victory as the Binghamton head coach as the Bearcats defeated Princeton on Friday night in New Jersey.

It was a tight dual going into the last three matches, with Princeton leading 12-10.  Then, 184-pounder Cody Reed won an overtime match against Scott Gibbons to give Binghamton the lead for good at 13-12.  Nate Schiedel and Tyler Deuel put an exclamation point on the win with a pair of technical falls to make the final score 23-12.
