Literally a second from elimination, Princeton fought back to win the series and advance in the tournament.

Head coach Chris Ayres, however, has turned Princeton from an insignificant contender in college wrestling to a consistent placer in the NCAA national championships, one of the most dangerous squads in the EIWA.
