Lackawanna College to start wrestling program in 2017

As Mark Palmer says — Good News from Pennsylvania
Lackawanna College will be launching an intercollegiate wrestling program starting in the 2017-18 school year, the Pennsylvania school confirmed on Thursday. Lackawanna had placed a listing at the job search website Indeed.com for a “Wrestling Coach – Part Time.” InterMat contacted the school to seek information about the listing. Joseph Paparelli, Lackawanna’s sports information director, said, “We are starting the program next year and are looking for a head coach so we can give him time to start recruiting for this inaugural season.” The new wrestling program would join existing men’s sports programs baseball, basketball, football, golf and soccer, and women’s basketball, bowling, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball. As with Lackawanna’s existing intercollegiate sports programs — all competing under the Falcon team name — wrestling would compete in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).
