LHU Wrestling to return this month

LOCK HAVEN, PA. – The Lock Haven University department of athletics announced Thursday that the NCAA Division I men’s wrestling team will return to action and plans to compete at the 2021 Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championships on Feb. 26-27 at Rider University.

“We are grateful that our student-athletes have the opportunity to compete at the MAC Championships. It has been a challenging year, but our wrestlers have stayed focused and determined,” LHU head wrestling coach Scott Moore said. “Our coaching staff is excited to help each wrestler prepare to their fullest as we begin training for the conference tournament. We are thankful for the work of our athletic director, athletic trainers, senior administration and Dr. Bashar Hanna, Interim President for their effort in making this possible. Our wrestlers are excited to represent Lock Haven University as we battle for a MAC championship.”

The 2021 NCAA Division I National Championships are scheduled for March 18-20 in St. Louis.
LHU joins Bloomsburg University in restarting its program relatively recently this winter. Penn State has been wrestling since January, but COVID-related issues has held that program to just three dual meets so far this season.
