In perhaps the most unique season in the conference's long history, the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championship Tournament will be held off campus for the first time ever.
With the member institutions unable to host events of this size, the participating member institutions will meet at Spooky Nook Sports Complex in Manheim, Pennsylvania on Friday, February 26, 2021.
For those wondering, this will be the first one-day EIWA tournament since 1909.
The ten (10) institutions scheduled to participate will be American, Army West Point, Binghamton, Bucknell, Drexel, Hofstra, Lehigh, Long Island U., Navy, and Sacred Heart. This group includes five of the top seven teams from the 2020 tournament.
The Ivy League and Centennial Conference teams will be absent due to their conferences' canceling of all winter sports.
The EIWA championship tournament will kick off at 10:00 am with wrestling on four mats. Session 2 is scheduled to start at 2:00 pm and the championship place matches will begin at 5:30p.
One major change from past tournaments -- no spectators or outside media will be permitted at the championship facility. Team contingents will be limited to twenty individuals and the tournament support staff will be similarly restricted.
