Hofstra Schedule Released - Bus Trip to the CAA's In the Works

Hofstra has released their schedule for the coming 2003-2004 season.  Anticipation is in the air after last year's season.  On tap for home matches this year are outstanding match-ups with Nebraska, Wisconsin, Harvard and UPenn.  It is Jantzen's senior year and it will be great for all Long Island wrestling fans to come out to Hofstra and see him compete one last time.  CAA conference matches with Boston University and Sacred Heart will also take place at the Hofstra Arena.  Sacred Heart has really made a name for themselves the past few seasons in the CAA and with second year Head Coach Andy Seras will look to challenge for the top spot.  Making his last appearance on Long Island in a college wrestling match is senior Mike Messina for Sacred Heart.

A great way to show your support for the team is to purchase season tickets!  Season tickets are available now by clicking here.  Individual tickets should be available for purchase beginning November 7th.

One change to the schedule is the Bearcat Open normally held at Binghamton University will be held at Cortland and be named the New York Open while work goes on at the Binghamton gym.  If you are interested in traveling to this early season tournament rooms are available at the Quality Inn in Cortland for $71.95-79.95.  Their telephone number is 607-756-5622.

The CAA conference championship is being held at Rider this year on March 5-6, 2004.  With the high school championship tournament moved up to February 27-28 in Buffalo there is no excuse to miss the NCAA Championship Tournament qualifier.

Rider is a short ride down the Jersey Tpke to Exit 7A and I hope we get a good turnout to cheer Hofstra on.  If enough interest is shown maybe a bus trip and accomodations could be arranged for a group.  If this trip to the CAA conference championships would interest you send an email to Steve Meehan at rsmeehan@optonline.net.
