For the first time in awhile Lehigh will have three grapplers participating in the National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Classic Sunday in Atlanta, GA, hosted by Georgia Tech. The match will be aired LIVE on ESPNU at 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Lehigh wrestlers invited: 133 lbs. Mason Beckman (preseason ranked #3); 157 lbs. Mitch Minotti (pre-season ranked #5); 184 lbs. Nathanial Brown (pre-season ranked #2).

Due to their selection, they were held out of Thursday night's Wrestle-Offs, which allowed some of new freshmen to show their stuff at Grace Hall. The peek into the future looked good. A lot of action with the kids showing good competition.

Lehigh's dual meet season opens on November 6 at Bucknell at 7 p.m.

Mitch Minotti had a stunning win by fall in neutral position in Sudden Victory over Cody Pack from South Dakota State. Exciting finish. Beckman and Brown also went into Sudden Victory and lost by giving up takedowns in OT. Pretty cool to have three wrestlers in the Classic. Noted that Lehigh is #7 in the Coaches Preseason Poll.
