No. 8 Mountain Hawks to open season against Rider
11/8/2005 12:00:00 AM | Men's Wrestling
Cooperman and Letters return for Lehigh as part of a deep senior class that also includes All-American’s Travis Frick and Derek Zinck, as well as Brian LaMay, who placed at last year’s EIWA Championships, despite wrestling up two weight classes. Letters enters this season as a three-time EIWA Champion and three-time All-American. He has a chance to become just Lehigh’s third four-time All-American and the fifth four-time EIWA titlist
Rider posted a 12-7 dual record a year ago. The Broncs finished second to Hofstra in the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament and qualified five grapplers for NCAAs where Rider finished in a tie for 39th place. Head coach Gary Taylor enters his 28th season at the helm and his next dual win will be number 300 in his career.
Last year, Lehigh defeated NC State 39-3 in its season opener. The Mountain Hawks are 8-2 in season openers under head coach Greg Strobel.
