New College Teams – Part Three (2020-2022)

TDR Editor’s Notes ; This is the third, and last for now, part in this series on colleges and universities that have added or announced they would add a wrestling program at their school. Some of the schools are re-starting a program while most are establishing wrestling for the first time. Many of those schools are adding two teams as the number of Women’s programs are exploding. In order to keep track of all colleges’ records and the head coaching records we also include the schools that have dropped the sport. In addition to the teams listed below Alvernia University is the first to announce that they will add a Women’s Wrestling team in the 2022-2023 season.
