Coach Yetzer's Thoughts
"The guys wrestled really well today," said Head Coach Nate Yetzer. "We're by no means a finished product, still have decisions to make about who will wrestle where, but that's a great problem to have. I'm proud of the way we competed today."

Back on the Mat
Yetzer's team will be back in action Saturday, Dec. 5, at the New Standard Invitational, hosted by York College in York, Pennsylvania. The Panthers will then compete in the Gator Boots Duals Saturday, Dec. 19, in Nashville, Tennessee.
