MEET PREVIEW
The Roadrunner wrestling team will hit the road on Sunday, November 10, as they compete in the Electric City Duals. set for Scranton University starting at 10:00 am.
Coaach Dan Antonelli's squad opened the 2019-20 season with two victories on November 2 at home. The Runners toppled Temple University by a 46-12 score and Montclair State 36-14 in the RCSJ Gloucester Gymnasium.
Claiming two wins each in the Opening Day dual meets were sophomores Dylan Fischer (165), Tyler Baer (174-184), Riley Onorato (174-184) and Mike Rubino (141). Freshmen Nick DiGiacomo (125) and Curtis Thomas (197) also registered two wins each.
"It was nice to see a great turnout and a great atmosphere on opening day," said Antonelli. "We were pleased overall with the kids' performances."
The Runners will compete in an established tournament that will feature top-tier NCAA Division III and Junior College teams such as Scranton University and Lackawana College.
"Our younger wrestlers contributed on opening day, and that was great to see," said Antonelli. "But we'll be tested this week at Scranton and should get a pretty good picture of where we need to improve."
