PISCATAWAY, N.J. ā Rutgers wrestling enjoyed a strong showing on Sunday at the Princeton Open. Three unattached Scarlet Knights ā Joseph Olivieri (141), Andrew Clark (157) and John Poznanski (184) ā secured individual titles, as 10 RU student-athletes placed during the all-day tournament at Jadwin Gym.

Olivieri defeated Ty Linsenbigler (Lock Haven) by 9-3 decision in his title match, Clark picked up a 3-0 decision against teammate Al DeSantis (157) to win his bracket, and Poznanski defeated Nate Dugan (Princeton), 7-0, to claim the 184-pound title.
