• Trailing 11-6 after five bouts, Bucknell needed its ranked wrestlers to step up. All four grapplers, starting with No. 21 Noah Mulvaney, answered the summons, winning four straight bouts, to unlock a 21-17 men’s wrestling victory over the Drexel Dragons and slay their previously blemish free EIWA record.
