In a historic move for collegiate athletics, the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association has welcomed Morgan State University as its newest member institution. With this addition, Morgan State becomes the 12th member of the nation’s oldest wrestling conference and the first Historically Black College and University to join since the EIWA was founded in 1904.
The Bears are set to make their EIWA dual meet debut at Lehigh University on Nov. 15, marking a significant milestone for both the university and the conference. “This is an exciting time for Morgan State. The EIWA is a great fit for our wrestling program competitively, academically, and regionally,” said Dena Freeman-Patton, vice president and director of athletics at Morgan. “Our student-athletes are looking forward to competing for championships.”
