"It was good to see our guys who won't be wrestling next week (at NCAA Regionals) get the opportunity to compete today," said Senior Assistant Coach Corey Luce. "It also shows how deep with talent this team is, having four finalists. Our guys who competed today would be starters for a lot of other teams."

NYU returns to the mat on Saturday, February 29, at the NCAA Northeast Regional Qualifier in Providence, RI.
