Cleveland, OH - The Woodling Gymnasium on the campus of Cleveland State University played host to the fourth annual CSU Open on Sunday (12/14), which included 250 wrestlers overall. The open was the Vikings first home action of the season.
"It was a great day of wrestling, we had seven mats of continuous action all day," head coach Ben Stehura said. "Our fans got a chance to see quality wrestlers from the eastern part of the country.
