Princeton Opens Ivy Slate With Harvard/Brown Sweep, Heads To Rutgers For Garden State Showdown

The 20th-ranked Princeton wrestling team learned its lesson last season when it let an early-season Ivy League match slip away in Providence. Despite getting national attention for a Super Sunday showdown at Rutgers tomorrow, the Tigers remained focused inside Jadwin Gym Saturday and opened their 2019 Ivy League season with victories over both Harvard and Brown.
PRINCETON 31, HARVARD 12
Princeton won six of its last seven matches to cruise to an Ivy-opening win over Harvard during the afternoon portion of the doubleheader. That run started at 149, but not from the Tiger you might have expected. With the main event showdown with #2 Anthony Ashnault set for Sunday, head coach Chris Ayres chose to rest top-ranked Matthew Kolodzik in the opener, and he sent freshman Josh Breeding to the mat with the Tigers down 9-3. Breeding handled the moment in impressive fashion, scoring a major decision over Robert Groves for the first dual win of his career.
