Unfortunately, one of the Crimson's star wrestlers, junior Brad Soltis, had to withdraw from the 197 pound weight class because of injury.

Soltis, an NCAA qualifier last season, also missed the Ivy Classic due to injury but came back with a solid third place showing at East Stroudsburg.

Although overall the team did not do as well as it had hoped, it still returned to Cambridge with several top finishes and experience against the country's best wrestlers. Such experience will prove invaluable as the team enters the dual meet season and sets its sights on the EIWA and NCAA championships.

The Crimson now has a few weeks off before competing in another tournament. The wrestlers hit the mats again Dec. 29-30 in Chicago at the Midlands National Tournament held at Northwestern. A week later, on Jan. 7, it will then round out the tournament season at the Virginia Duals.
