NEW YORK CITY | The University of Northern Iowa wrestling team defeated Drexel, but fell to Duke and Cornell Sunday at the Grapple at the Garden.

A forfeit at 165 pounds proved to be the difference in a 21-16 loss to Duke. Dylan Peters pinned his opponent at 125 pounds, Blaize Cabell posted a 20-8 major decision and the Panthers got wins from Gunnar Wolfensperger and Curt Maas.

UNI got bonus-point wins from Peters (17-4 major decision), Jarrett Jensen (16-6 major) and Cody Caldwell (10-1 major) on the way to a 24-14 win over Drexel. Wolfensperger, Maas, Cabell and Basil Minto also won.

Third-ranked Cornell whipped the Panthers, 35-4. Cabell, ranked 15th nationally at 285 pounds, capped a 3-0 day with a 15-5 major decision for UNI's only victory. Peters, ranked sixth, lost a 6-2 decision to second-ranked Nahshon Garrett.

Now 3-3 in duals, UNI returns to action Jan. 4 when Eastern Michigan visits the West Gym for Hall of Fame Day. The 1974-75 Division II national champion Panthers will be honored.
