Lehigh opened its dual meet season Friday night with a 37-7 trouncing of Morgan State. It should have been a good experience for the Bears to experiences a loud and large crowd in Grace Hall. Lehigh only 'fielded' about 1/2 of its anticipated starting lineup, with most of the second half (top five upper weights) being still in a tryout phase. Lehigh will be without it's top 10 ranked 285 pounder, Nathan Taylor, for at least two months..and possible all season depending on rehab results, which takes away significant points for Lehigh is both dual and tournament settings. Lehigh currently ranked #14 in dual meets and #17 as a tournament team. Currently 4 wrestlers who are legitimate All-American material and couple who could be atop the podium come March.
Next up for Lehigh will be a dual at #23 Pitt, followed by a home dual against #1 Penn State at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pa (cap. 10,000) on December 8.
