Match Preview: No. 22 Rutgers vs. No. 19 Cornell

Friday night should be a good one in Piscataway. The No. 22 ranked Scarlet Knights (7-1, 2-1) have a great opportunity to knock off a top 20 ranked opponent at home, No. 19 Cornell (5-4).

Cornell has wrestled an extremely tough schedule so far, squaring off against five ranked opponents. Rutgers has wrestled just one top-25 team when they wrestled at Ohio State. Both teams have two common opponents in Ohio State and Michigan State.

This is a Big Red team that lost four starters due to Olympic Redshirt, just as Rutgers lost Nick Suriano to the same.
