SENIOR DAY
Saturday also served as Senior Day for the Lancers' lone senior, heavyweight Zach Schrader. He will always be remembered as the first wrestler in CBU history to earn a top-25 ranking in NCAA Division I after FloWrestling ranked him No. 25 at heavyweight last week.
Schrader graduates ranking top-eight in CBU history, with 67 wins and 18 pins in his career. He also holds the NCAA Division I era record with 45 wins and 14 pins the last three years. He has earned two National Collegiate Open All-American finishes the last two seasons, and won the heavyweight title in 2019.
EXTRA, EXTRA
CBU also went 3-0 in extra matches on Saturday. Marcus Peterson (165) and Chris Island (heavyweight) got pins, while Arick Lopez (197) got an 18-1 technical fall. It capped off a perfect 4-0 season for Lopez.
