The five Patriot League member institutions that sponsor wrestling are American University, Bucknell University, Lehigh University, the United States Military Academy, and the United States Naval Academy.

 

The Patriot League placed Lehigh 3rd, Bucknell 4th, American 5th, Navy 7th and Army 8th among the EIWA's thirteen team conference, crowning individual champions in four of the ten weight classes. Winning EIWA titles were Army's Matt Kyler, 149, Bucknell's Andy Rendos, 165, American's Mike Cannon, 184 and Lehigh's Zach Rey, 285. At the NCAA Division 1 Championships held March 18-20 in Omaha, NE, the Patriot League placed two teams among the nation's top twenty with American University 14th and Lehigh University 17th. In all, ten (10) PL wrestlers were recognized at the National Championships with six (6) PL wrestlers earning All-American medals for placing top 8 in their respective weight class.
