Hoboken, NJ …The College of New Jersey wrestling team remained perfect in dual meets as they registered blowout victories over Trinity College (CT) and Hunter College on Sunday afternoon in Hoboken, NJ.
 
The Lions (7-0) took down Trinity by a score of 46-3 before bouncing Hunter 48-4. They racked up seven pins in the two matches, four technical falls, and three major decisions. The matches were hosted by Stevens Institute of Technology.

Senior Doug Hamann (Jackson, NJ/Jackson Memorial) and sophomore Ryan Budzek (Point Pleasant Boro, NJ/Point Pleasant Boro) also flourished. Each earned a victory by technical decision in the opener, and returned to collect pins against Hunter. Budzek won by fall over Davi Naupari at 5:23, while Hamann pinned Nick Brutus in 2:10.
 
TCNJ sophomore James Goldschmidt (Marlton, NJ/Cherokee) netted a big win over Hawk Jaydon Rice, outscoring the senior 7-3. Goldschmidt also won via fall against Trinity's Joe Penna at 133 pounds.
