    Lackawanna College to start wrestling program in 2017

    Lackawanna College will be launching an intercollegiate wrestling program starting in the 2017-18 school year, the Pennsylvania school confirmed on Thursday.

    Lackawanna had placed a listing at the job search website Indeed.com for a "Wrestling Coach - Part Time." InterMat contacted the school to seek information about the listing. Joseph Paparelli, Lackawanna's sports information director, said, "We are starting the program next year and are looking for a head coach so we can give him time to start recruiting for this inaugural season."

    The new wrestling program would join existing men's sports programs baseball, basketball, football, golf and soccer, and women's basketball, bowling, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball. As with Lackawanna's existing intercollegiate sports programs -- all competing under the Falcon team name -- wrestling would compete in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

    "Coach will be responsible for the planning, development, administration, and oversight of the sports program for which he/she is serving as Head Coach," according to the text under the heading "Coaching Position and Duties." Additional details are available at the above link to the job listing on Indeed.com.

    All applications will be accepted only via online method or email to jobs@lackawanna.edu. Deadline for receipt of application is noon on Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2016, the day before the Thanksgiving holiday.

    At its website, Lackawanna College describes itself as "the premier, private, accredited two-year college serving the people of northeastern Pennsylvania… With its main campus situated in downtown Scranton, Lackawanna's expanding footprint also includes satellite centers in Hawley, Hazleton, New Milford, and Towanda."

    Lackawanna College has an enrollment of approximately 1,400 students.
