Patrick Glory was the first Princeton wrestler to win an NCAA Championship in 71 years.
The Trentonian reported:
The 71-year drought is over for the Princeton University wrestling team.
With one last solid performance, Princeton senior Patrick Glory captured the 125-pound championship at the NCAA Division I Championships at the sold-out BOK Arena on Saturday night.
With his victory, Glory became Princeton’s first champion since 1951 and just the second in the history of the program.
A two-time New Jersey state champ at the Delbarton School, Glory capped off a perfect 25-0 season by beating Matt Ramos of Purdue, 4-1, in the championship match.
Glory forced the action for nearly the entire match, but Ramos was repeatedly able to scramble out of vulnerable positions and avoid being taken down.
