Rutgers wrestling upset by Wisconsin as Big Ten rivalry emerges

PISCATAWAY – Sometimes empty seats for a 125-pound bout at a Rutgers wrestling match are an indication of a late-arriving crowd.

That wasn’t the case Friday night, when the decisive drama of the lightweights brought fans to their feet – only for the home crowd of 2,861 to leave disappointed.

With the score tied, Sean McCabe dropped a decision that allowed Wisconsin to earn an 18-15 upset victory against No. 12 Rutgers at Rutgers Athletic Center.
