    Mercyhurst announces first batch of recruits

    Erie, Pa. -- Head coach Tony Cipollone announced his initial batch of recruits today. If the first eight are any indication, the 2006-07 season could be another excellent one for a program that's only five years' old.

    "We are very excited to have these new wrestlers in our program and look forward to seeing them compete," said Cipollone. "We feel that these newcomers will help us in our continuing quest for regional and national championships. We feel like we succeeded in adding some much-needed competition in our upper weights as well as filling some holes in the middle of our lineup. With our returning wrestlers and these new additions, we think we'll be one of the teams to beat in the East Region this coming season."
