Hempstead, NY - 10 members of the Hofstra wrestling team received their seeds for the upcoming EIWA Championships in an announcement by the conference office today.

Charles Small and Zachary Knighton-Ward received the highest seeds of the 10 Hofstra wrestlers, with the two checking in as the three-seed at 184 and 285, respectively. Trey Rogers also received a high seed for the conference championship, as the junior was seeded sixth at 197.

Joe McGinty (157) and Ricky Stamm (165) are the next-highest seeded Hofstra wrestlers at 11, while Justin Hoyle (141) follows at 14. Michael Leandrou (149) and Ross McFarland (174) are both 15-seeds in their weights, Jacob Moon (125) is seeded 16, and Matthew Templeton (133) rounds out the group at 17.

Stamm, Small, Rogers and Knighton-Ward all qualified for the 2021 NCAA Championships through finishes at last season's EIWA Championships. Knighton-Ward and Small placed third in their respective weight classes, while Rogers and Stamm finished fifth.
