Mother Nature is a wrestling fan. She must be.
What. A. Day.
With a crowd of 16,178 on hand, the second largest in NCAA dual meet history, Rutgers scored a gritty 19-16 victory over in-state rival Princeton in the Battle at the Birthplace (brought to you by Autoland).
For Rutgers and Princeton wrestling, it was a special day, a unique experience. For Rutgers, there were special uniforms, with BATB on the back. There was a special mat, with BATB on the side mats.
And for wrestling, who ever thought you’d see the referees shading their eyes from the sun’s glare as temperatures hovered around 62 degrees.
