MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The No. 22 West Virginia University wrestling team begins 2025 on the road to face the Princeton Tigers at Jadwin Gymnasium in Princeton, New Jersey, on Saturday, Jan. 4, at 7 p.m. on ESPN+.

Tim Flynn said. "Some of their wrestlers had a strong showing at the Midlands Championship as well."
