The Humble Beginnings of Rider Wrestling
The Rider wrestling program is 50 years old. Sort of.
A 1968 newspaper clipping in the Sunday Times Advertiser of Trenton reported that the program was starting its season on Dec. 5, against the Hofstra freshmen, resuming the sport after 33 years. The initial program dates to 1930-31, but in 1935 they rolled up the mats.

Iowa State dominates Chattanooga at Hilton Coliseum
AMES, Ia. — The Chattanooga wrestling team hasn’t found much luck in the state of Iowa. Last month, the Mocs traveled to Iowa City to face top-ranked Iowa at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes rolled to a 39-0 victory and scored bonus points in half the matches. On Saturday night, Chattanooga made a return trip, this time to Hilton Coliseum to take on 15th-ranked Iowa State. The results weren’t much different, as the Cyclones beat the Mocs, 26-7. The victory pushes Iowa State to 2-1 this season, the other victory coming over Bucknell last month. The Cyclones dominated Chattanooga, winning eight of 10 bouts. They managed distinct advantages in total match points, 70-46, and total takedowns, 21-10. Only David Carr produced bonus points for the Cyclones, rolling up eight takedowns en route to a 21-6 technical fall over Tyler Shilson at 157 pounds. The redshirt freshman nearly pinned Shilson in the second period, then scored three takedowns in the third period to put Iowa State up 14-4 midway through the dual.
