The Drexel Dragons wrestling team represents collegiate wrestling at Drexel University.

History

[edit]

Drexel's primary conference, the Coastal Athletic Association CAA, sponsored wrestling until 2013. Conference realignment and movement by other CAA teams ended CAA sponsorship of wrestling. Since 2014 Drexel has competed in Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association, EIWA. The oldest wrestling conference in the country.

Drexel has two NCAA All-Americans to its credit: Rob Rebmann in 2004 and Ryan Hluschak in 2007.[2]
