    Old Dominion qualifies three for NCAA Championships

    FAIRFAX, VA -- The Old Dominion wrestling team will send three wrestlers to the NCAA Tournament this year as they finished in second place at the conference tournament. Redshirt senior Christian Staylor (Chesapeake, VA), junior Nick Pullano (Chesapeake, VA), and sophomore David Mendoza (Wyomissing, PA) all advance for the Monarchs to the national tournament taking place in Auburn Hills, MI on March 15-17. It will be the third trip to the NCAA Tournament for Staylor and the first time for the other two ODU grapplers.

    "I'm proud of the three we've got going," said assistant coach Lee Pritts. "I'm extremely proud of Pullano. He wrestled his butt off."

    Pullano needed to win in an extra "true-second" match to seal his automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

    As a team, the Monarchs finished second overall, to Hofstra University. Tallying 89 points, the ODU wrestling team finished 4.5 points ahead of Rider University for second place.
