Series History: This will be the first meeting between the teams in a dual match.
Current Tigers vs. Current Sun Devils: No current Princeton wrestlers have competed against current Arizona State wrestlers in a collegiate event.
Taking on the best: Princeton will wrestle six fellow teams in the most recent NWCA team rankings, which have Princeton at No. 19. Along with No. 1 Iowa in November and Sunday's match against No. 5 N.C. State, the Tigers will host No. 7 Arizona State next Sunday and No. 8 Cornell in February, and visit No. 17 Lehigh and No. 12 Rutgers later in February.

State dual), Jack DelGarbino (HWT) over #3 Tony Cassioppi (Iowa dual), Nate Dugan (174) over #16 Jackson Turley (Rutgers, MatMen Open), Patrick Glory (125) over #16 Jake Medley (Michigan, Cliff Keen), and #7 Devin Schroder (Purdue, Keen), Nick Masters (133) over #23 Mosha Schwartz (N.

What a year it was: Along with defeating Rutgers for the first time in 30 years, Princeton beat Cornell for the first time since 1986 in 2020, winning the program's first Ivy League title since 1986 and snapping a Cornell Ivy dual-match win streak that had lasted since 2002. The wrestling program had been the holder of the longest Ivy League title drought among the 33 Princeton sports that compete for Ivy League titles.
On our way back: Patrick Glory (125), Quincy Monday (157), Grant Cuomo (165) and Travis Stefanik (184) were four of Princeton's six qualifiers to the 2020 NCAA Championships, along with 2021 grads Matthew Kolodzik (149) and Patrick Brucki (197).
Quite a resume: Since Chris Ayres took over the program in 2006, 18 Princeton wrestlers have earned a total of 38 NCAA Championship bids, all since 2010. The previous 18 NCAA qualifiers to the Ayres era came over a span of 30 years, twice the amount of time Ayres has been at the helm, and the previous 38 NCAA bids were earned over a period of 32 years. Ayres' tenure has seen 10 All-America honors, all since 2016, where the program's previous 10 All-America honors came over a span of 33 years.
