No. 12 Rutgers Wrestling continued their winning ways Friday night against American University down in our nation’s capital. The match was close early before Rutgers pulled away after the second bout and it was mostly smooth sailing from there, with the squad securing bonus points in six matches and taking nine of ten bouts overall.
With the win, the Scarlet Knights are 9-0 to start the season and have a chance to end the first semester 10-0 if they can take out Army next Friday at Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway.
At 125lbs, No. 23 ranked Dylan Shawver ended up in a closer than expected match after getting caught on his back during an escape attempt in the 3rd period.
