Season outlook:
With both of last year’s NCAA finalists gone, Ithac will look to returning All-American Alex Gomez and qualifier Dominick Giacolone to lead the team in 2014. Two very strong transfers will bolster the lineup in NJCAA All-American Kris Schimek and Campbell transfer Joe Rizzolino. Incoming freshman and New York state champion Carlos Toribo may step right in at 174 after the departure of national runner-up Jules Doliscar. It will be a mix of old and new faces in the Ithaca lineup, but the level of talent appears to be quite high.
