No. 7 Wrestlers Get Five Falls in 49-3 PSAC Win Over East Stroudsburg

TDR Editor’s Notes ; It does not note it but this win is Coach Pat Pecora’s 591st and he is 2nd in career dual meet wins by college coaches. Next season he and his team could win his 600 dual meet and possibly pass Dale Thomas of Oregon State who is the top coach with 616.
