PHILADELPHIA – The nationally-ranked No. 21 Rider University wrestling team fell in a tightly-contested match at Drexel, 18-14, Sunday afternoon. With the loss, the Broncs slip to 11-4 on the season.

Rider established a 14-6 match lead on the strength of decisions from J.R. Wert (Christianburg, VA/Christianburg), Tyson Dippery (Harrisburg, PA/Central Dauphin [Rutgers]) and Gary Dinmore (Skillman, NJ/Hunterdon Central [Penn State]) and a tech fall from Chad Walsh (Cherry Hill, NJ/Camden Catholic).
