2023 NCAA Division III The Season: Ursinus

 


The Bears wrestling program is a reminder of how hard of a slap in the face graduation came sometimes be. You see guys that were right there that came within a nose hair of reaching their goal and it just kills you that they don't have another year left to try and make it happen. Centennial Conference Champion (CCC) Gary Nagle was one of those guys. He finished 4th at the Mideast Regional last season, one match shy of NCAA Division III qualification. Malcolm Hunt was another who finished 4th. Then there was also Jason Carter who finished 5th last season and 4th in 2020. On the bright side the Bears do return a NCAA Division III qualifier along with another wrestler more than capable of qualifying & two more who will fight hard throughout duals, the conference & the regional. 

125 lbs
Terry Adams 

Senior Terry Adams looks to add to his list of credential and accomplishments this season having taken 3rd place at the Mideast Regional on a 24-7 record last year. He will go for a second NCAA Division III qualification this season as well as a third appearance in the CCC. A champion in 2020, he was a runner-up las season. 

133 lbs
Romeo Rodriguez

Romeo Rodriguez enters his final season as a Bear posting a 19-13 record last season & an 8th place finish at the Mideast Regional.  He will look to improve his record and his regional placing this year. 

149 lbs
Dante Monaco 

The two time New Jersey state qualifier Dante Monaco took a 17-12 record last season, placing 7th at the Mideast Regional. A hard worker who buys into the program, look for some major improvements out of this junior. 

157 lbs
Shawn Marchesano 

It's not a stretch to think that senior Shawn Marchesano could likely join Terry Adams in being a NCAA Division III qualifier. He took a 22-10 record last season to a 5th place finish at the Mideast Regional.
