LOCK HAVEN — The official start of the 2018-19 collegiate wrestling season is right around the corner and in anticipation of it, the nationally-ranked Lock Haven University wrestling team has released its 2018-19 preseason depth chart.
The Bald Eagles will be led by six returning national qualifiers including All-American Chance Marsteller 165.

It will mark LHU’s fourth straight Midday Matness. More information will be available at www.GoLHU.com as we get closer to the event.
On Saturday, October 27, the Bald Eagles will hold their annual Crimson & White Dual in Rogers Gymnasium. The start time for the wrestle-off exhibition match is 10 a.m.
