The wrestling team continued its descent through the Ivy League on Saturday as it lost its fourth straight Ivy meet, this one to Princeton, 22-11, in an away encounter.
Princeton, last year's Ivy champ, pulled away from the Crimson with four consecutive victories in the middle weights.
Tiger captain Paul Arnow (145) decisioned Jeff Seder, 6-1, to erase an early 6-3 Harvard lead. In successive matches, Princeton's Clay McEldowney beat Bill Zinn (152), 6-4, Sam Mitchell pinned Dick Low (160) in the third period, and Pete Thompson decisioned Howie Chatterton (167), 5-2, to give Princeton a 17-6 team lead.
The Crimson's Paul Padlak (177) ended the Tiger string with a 9-4 decision over Marc Beem, and sophomore Jim Abbott (191) tied Julian McPhillips, 2-2, but Princeton ended the meet on a Tiger note as its Ollie Kenen pulled out an 11-10 decision over Bob Panoff (hvy.) in a wild final match.
Opening the meet, Crimson captain Andy Kopecki (123) and Paul Catinella (137) produced decision victories around John Moss (130)'s loss, to provide Harvard's initial 6-3 lead.
Harvard closes out its disappointing season with three home meets against Rutgers, Brown, and Yale. The Rutgers meet will be Wednesday evening in the IAB.
