We spent a bunch of time talking wrestling and previewing the PSU vs Lehigh match. Penn State has a bunch of moving pieces and parts – we tried to dissect them. We also spent time talking about different wrestling storylines, including the Flo wrestling vs Willie Saylor drama that is playing out on social media. […]
It was a tough weekend for the Mountain Hawks dropping duals with 2 ranked rivals. After a tough loss to Princeton last night Lehigh hosted cross state rival Pitt at the Snakepit. The dual didn’t go as expected with bonus points, upsets and criteria deciding the winner in two consecutive home matches for the […]
I’ve been to more than 10 Penn State versus Lehigh Matches going back to the 1980’s and they’ve always been a fun time with friends watching kids we used to wrestle with or, now that we’re advancing in age, that we’ve coached or just follow. This year’s match at the Bryce Jordan Center should be […]
Last night Lehigh held its annual Brown and White wrestle offs. After the contest Coach Santoro indicated that these results are only part of the process of determining the starting line up and it may take until January to finalize the deep and talented Mountain Hawk lineup. The biggest upset of the night was at […]
The best team in the country travels east a few hours to take on a scrappy Lehigh Friday night. This long running series has changed up a bit this year for the better. The last several seasons this match has been held in November. Moving the date back to February will give fans a better […]
It’s the typical quiet affair – no one is cheering against or for a teammate. Wrestlers sitting in the corners and coaches sitting in the stands with their families convey a casual atmosphere everywhere but on the mat. Just eye balling the crowd, the average age fan seems a bit younger than in previous years. […]

Anyone questioning whether or not dual meets still matter needed only to hear and see the wild celebration on the Rider bench after heavyweight Greg Velasco managed to hold Lehigh’s Doug Vollaro to a regular decision in the final match of the dual meet between the Lehigh Mountain Hawks and Rider Broncs. Highlight videos to […]
Wrestling in front of a home crowd of 1,200 in Grace Hall for the first time in over a month, the Lehigh Mountain Hawks easily defeated their EIWA rivals the Quakers of the University of Pennsylvania. Early on many fans were disappointed that the most anticipated match of the day at 184 lbs. never materialized. […]
This weekend Lehigh faces Penn and Rider a seemingly easier task than last week’s road trip to Illinois and Northwestern. November 30 Rider beat Penn 21-12. Penn hasn’t had a wrestler at 125lbs this season making the score a bit more exaggerated after the forfeit. #25 Rider def. Penn, 21-12 133: Caleb Richardson (Penn) DEC […]
#16 Flo & Unranked Intermat Illinois vs. #18 Flo #12 Intermat Lehigh Illinois hasn’t wrestled the schedule that Lehigh has. Lehigh has a win over a very good Pitt team that has them higher ranked on Intermat. Depending on the service that you look at Illinois has 6 ranked wrestlers that are likely to compete […]

125 Dom Forys Fr. Vs Scott Parker Fr.-Parker was a better recruit coming out of high school but Forys just knocked off #19 Kory Mines dominantly (6-0). Parker lost a close match but not as close as the score to Jordan Conaway. I’ve got this as a toss up or Parker as a slight favorite. […]
