No. 13: Wrestling Wraps Up Competition at NCAA Championships
The 2014 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships marked the fifth consecutive season in which Head Coach Derek DelPorto sent two-or-more grapplers to the competition. Last season, the Eagles sent two wrestlers to Des Moines, Iowa for the national tournament, while four EMU grapplers made the trek to the NCAA Championships in 2012 where heavyweight Wes Schroeder became the first EMU wrestler since Phillip Plowman (133 lbs.) in the 2006 season to advance to in the championship bracket.
Redshirt-seniors Jared Germaine, Phillip Joseph and Brandon Zeerip as well as redshirt-sophomore Vincent Pizzuto represented the Eastern Michigan University wrestling squad at the 2014 NCAA Championships in Oklahoma City, Okla. (FOR FULL RELEASE CLICK HERE)
