The Fighting Scots of Edinboro

The Fighting Scots of Edinboro

For a university, a student enrollment of 7,500 seldom yields a Division I sports program, much less a championship contender. At Edinboro University, this unlikelihood has become reality. The Fighting Scots of Edinboro is a behind-the-scenes look at how a small Division II university in northwestern Pennsylvania broke into the big-time world of Division I wrestling and has managed to thrive. In candid detail, first-time author John Dudley reveals how EUP s program has evolved to produce three national champions, multiple runners-up, and several top-10 team finishes, often ahead of larger, better-funded schools like Penn State, Northwestern, Penn, Iowa State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Missouri. Along the way, there are some amazing stories and characters, including some of the most recognizable and colorful personalities in the sport, like Olympians Bruce Baumgartner and Lou Rosselli and NCAA champ-turned-mixed-martial-arts star Josh Koscheck.
