No. 17 Rutgers Wrestling (13-4, 2-4) hosted in-state rival Rider (2-6) Thursday in front of 3,151 fans at Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway and while the weather was foggy outside, the Scarlet Knights showed they are clearly on another level than the Broncs, taking the meet 36-3, securing nine of ten bouts in the process.
The night started ominously for Rider, as they didn’t get the notice that team introductions were happening and missed the first six weights. Things didn’t get much better for the Broncs as they were only able to take a single match, squeaking out a win at 174lbs on a late reversal.
