Four in Semis as Tigers Send Nine to Sunday at EIWAs

Setting a Chris Ayres-era best with nine wrestlers advancing to Sunday's day two at the EIWA Championships at Cornell, the Princeton wrestling team stands in third place and has four semifinalists heading into the event's final day.

Brackets are available here and FloWrestling is streaming the event here. Sunday's first session will start at 10 a.m. The final session will start at 3 p.m.

Patrick Glory at 125, Quincy Monday at 157, Travis Stefanik at 184 and Luke Stout at 197 all went 2-0 on Saturday to make the semis, and Nick Kayal (133), Danny Coles (141), Marshall Keller (149), Nate Dugan (174) and Matt Cover (HWT) all worked their way through the consolation draw to advance in the tournament.

Princeton's previous best for day-two wrestlers in the Ayres era, which began with the 2006-07 season, was eight, achieved in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Those three years also saw Princeton's best EIWA finishes of the Ayres era and since the team's last EIWA title in 1978, as the Tigers took third in each of those years. Cornell leads heading into day two with 94.5 points and eight wrestlers in the championship draw and one in the consolation. Penn stands second at 86.5 with eight in the championship draws and two in the consolation, and Princeton is third at 69 points with four in the championship draws and five in the consolation.

Princeton's results from Saturday are below, along with the EIWA's allocated NCAA Championship bids at each weight.

Four semifinalists for Princeton!

At 197, third-seeded Luke Stout got this takedown right off the start and was a 10-4 winner over sixth-seeded Trey Rogers of Hofstra.
