Marsh, who has won 28 straight bouts, is competing in the NCAA Division III Tournament for the second time in his career as he also qualified as a wild card selection at 141 during his sophomore season of 2006-2007.

A native of Danbury, Connecticut, Cammisa is making his fourth straight appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament and first at the 157-pound weight class.  Seeded eighth, Cammisa will take on junior Matt Magill (Malvern, PA) of New York University in their first round match.

Cammisa comes into the tournament with a record of 28-6 on the season while Magill is 24-10.  The two grapplers have in fact wrestled once before this year, as Cammisa posted a 3-2 win over Magill in a tri-match held at Bridgewater State on January 9th.

Cammisa is tied for third place on the Bears' career wins list with 110 victories, while Marsh is fifth all-time with 106.
