Sep 05 | Wrestling
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers wrestling's 2024-25 competition schedule continues to take shape, as the Scarlet Knights face NC State and LIU in the inaugural Jersey Jostle – presented by Journeymen Wrestling – on Sunday, November 17 at RWJBarnabas Health Arena in Toms River, New Jersey.
RU wrestles LIU at 2 p.m., followed by its dual with NC State at 4 p.m. Tickets for the event begin at $25 and can be purchased here. Streaming information for both duals will be released at a later date.
This will be the third meeting all-time between Rutgers and the Wolfpack, with the Scarlet Knights winning the last matchup, 29-15, on December 9, 2000. RU and LIU will meet for the second time after Rutgers defeated the Sharks, 43-3, on November 2, 2019 in Piscataway.
The Big Ten Conference announced its opponent rotation for the 2024-25 season last week, as the Scarlet Knights will host Illinois, Michigan State, Penn State and Wisconsin this winter. RU's road opponents include Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota and Ohio State. Dates and times for all conference matches will also be released at a later date.
Rutgers finished No. 14 in the final NWCA Coaches Poll last season and produced multiple All-Americans for the eighth time in nine seasons under head coach Scott Goodale. Dylan Shawver (133) and Yaraslau Slavikouski (HWT) finished seventh in their respective weight classes at the 2024 NCAA Wrestling Championships – the 10th time in 11 years Rutgers has produced at least one All-American. Eight Scarlet Knights qualified for nationals, the most since all 10 starters qualified in 2016. RU also finished sixth at the 2024 Big Ten Wrestling Championships, which included an individual title from Shawver, seven conference place winners and 87.5 team points - its best team result since 2016.
Rutgers finished 12-5 during the dual season and earned a final No. 14 ranking in the NWCA Coaches Poll - its 12th top 25 finish in the poll under Goodale. The Scarlet Knights once again finished in the top 10 in national home attendance as it averaged more than 4,000 per home dual in 2023-24. Twelve student-athletes earned Winter Academic All-Big Ten recognition, while three individuals – Slavikouski, John Poznanski (197) and Anthony White (165) - were named NWCA Scholar All-Americans.
On the recruiting trail, RU signed the No. 4 overall recruiting class in the country, according to Intermat's final rankings released earlier this summer. It marks the highest-rated rookie class under Goodale since he and his staff inked the No. 4 overall class during the 2007-08 cycle.
