Youthful No. 19 Cornell Faces Uphill Battle Heading into 2017-18 Season
November 16, 2017

 



Cornell wrestling has won the EIWA Championship the past 11-straight years and the Ivy League the past 15.

But this year, nothing is certain.

The No. 19 Red will get its first crack at the 2017-18 season with Friday's dual meet against No. 13 Northern Iowa at home. This will be the first of many challenges for head coach Rob Koll's squad, which is coming off an eighth place finish at the 2017 NCAA Championship.

In the first national poll, Cornell, which has not finished outside the top 10 in 15 years, was ranked 32nd. A chip on the shoulder? Maybe. But the team knows it has plenty to prove this upcoming season.
