Stutzman led his freshmen/sophomore-dominated Huskies to a dual meet record of 14-6, including wins over traditional wrestling powers Northern Iowa, North Carolina State, and the University of Pennsylvania. The 14 wins were the most for the team since the 1990-91 season.
Also, in tournament competition, Bloomsburg finished third at the early season Navy Classic, second at the PSAC Tournament, and third at the EWL championships. In addition, two Bloomsburg wrestlers, Frank Hickman (Castle Hayne, NC/E.A. Laney) and Mike Dessino (Middlesex, NJ/Middlesex), qualified for 2011 NCAA Division I national championships.
“This is a great honor for me, however, I am more excited for my program, my wrestlers, and my assistant coaches,” said Stutzman “Everyone has bought in 100 percent and they all have made my job easier. Hopefully we can keep this thing going and get into the top 20 next year.”
This is the second time Stutzman has been named the EWL Coach of the Year also winning the honor in 2007. Under his guidance the Huskies have qualified 23 wrestlers for the NCAA Championships with three All-Americans (Mike Spaid in 2007; Matt Moley in 2008, 2009). In addition, he has also coached the 2007 EWL/PSAC Freshman of the Year and the 2009 EWL tournament Outstanding Wrestler.
