Loaded Field, ESPN+ Set For 2018 Princeton Open; Tournament Is Officially Full
October 12, 2018 | Wrestling
When Jadwin Gym was set to host the 2017 NWCA All-Star Classic, the coaching staff felt it was an opportune time to create a home tournament in Jadwin Gym to serve as a kickoff to the season. Even they couldn't have guessed just how successful the inaugural Princeton Open would be, but they certainly can't wait to kick off 2018 with the sequel.
The 2018 Princeton Open is set to take place Sunday, Nov. 4, in Jadwin Gym. Thirteen teams (see full list below) will open competition at 9 am, with an expected finish time of 6:30 pm. The field has been full for several months now, a testament to the success of the 2017 event. Fans who can't make it to Jadwin Gym will be able to watch all 10 mats exclusively on ESPN+.
The tournament is officially full now.
Princeton enters the season with the nation's top-ranked wrestler (based on FloWrestling preseason ranks) at 149 pounds in junior Matthew Kolodzik, as well as the 7th-ranked wrestler at 197 (Patrick Brucki). The Tigers also brought in their highest-ranked recruiting class in program history last season, a group that will debut that Sunday in Jadwin Gym, the site of the Jan. 12 home match against Oklahoma State.
Associate head coach Sean Gray has more information on the Princeton Open below.
DATE/TIME: Sunday, Nov. 4, 9 am - 6:30 pm (approximate)
LOCATION: Jadwin Gym, Princeton, N.J.
TEAMS: Army, Columbia, Hofstra, Lehigh, Maryland, Old Dominion, Princeton, Purdue, Rider, Rutgers, Sacred Heart, Stanford, USMAPS
