A banged up GMU wrestling team bused into Lawrenceville, N.J. tonight to face a tested Rider Bronc team. This was senior night for a senior rich team. it was also a rout with Rider winning the first 7 matches. GMU bumped up a couple of wrestlers and had a forfeit. NCAA please change your silly redshirt rules so coaches eliminate forfeits
GMU is back in action Feb. 6th at home versus Navy. RIder is back in action Feb. 7th at Lock Haven before hosting Rutgers on the 9th.
