LEWISBURG, Pa. – The EIWA Wrestling Championships will take place at Bucknell's Sojka Pavilion next weekend (March 5-6) and fans unable to make it to Lewisburg will have the opportunity to watch live online via Bison Vision (www.BucknellBison.com). The entire event, except Sunday's championship bouts, will be available free of charge.
There will be four competition mats in use during all of Saturday's action and Sunday morning's consolation bouts and coverage of the event will focus on Bucknell wrestlers and premier bouts with regular updates and look-ins on other matches.
Veteran local high school wrestling broadcaster Carl Bower will handle play-by-play duties, while Voice of the Bison Doug Birdsong will provide regular mat-side updates and commentary.
While the majority of the EIWA Championships will be provided free of charge, Sunday's championship bouts will require a subscription. Fans can sign up for a monthly pass for Bison Vision for $9.95.
In addition to the live video broadcast, fans will have the chance to follow the results of the EIWAs live online via two different outlets. Updated brackets will be available at http://new.escapesports.com/, while the NWCA will provide live scoring of each match through its Live College Scorebook at www.nwcaonline.com.
