The top six teams from last year's National Duals are automatically
accepted into this elite tournament each season. The remaining teams must apply and points are given based on returning All-Americans, national qualifiers, returning starters, previous season results.
"This is a great opportunity for the 08-09 Husky wrestling team," assistant coach Matt Lowers said. "This will give our team a chance to compete against the best teams in Division II wrestling in the most exciting dual meet atmosphere ever assembled, as all divisions have their national dual tournament taking place in the
dome at the same time.
"Our wrestlers worked very hard to finish where they did this year, and it is exciting for them to have earned the opportunity to be invited to this tournament. Wrestling this type of competition will allow our wrestlers to gain valuable insight into what to expect at the National Tournament at the end of the year. "
The Huskies expect to bring back eight starters from their 2007-08 team next season. Included in this group are returning All-Americans Brad Padgett (184-pounds) and John Sundgren (157-pounds). SCSU will also benefit from a solid incoming recruit class that has been produced by head coach Steve Costanzo and his staff at SCSU.
