Rutgers Wrestling takes 4th Place at Midlands Championships

I was a little concerned.

No, I was very concerned. The team wasn’t dominating. It wasn’t pushing past good teams and good wrestlers.

That changed at the Midlands.

Six RU wrestlers placed and the team finished fourth in a deep and very tough field.

And head coach Scott Goodale saw a lot to be happy about in the results. "I thought we wrestled with a ton of effort and won a bunch of big individual matchups," saidGoodale. "I loved our fight and toughness all tournament long, but we also need to be more disciplined in certain situations and continue to do the little things right in big matches - our focus late, our positioning, finding a go to shoot in overtimes.
